Speaker 4: Welcome to our two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now Here's Matt Jones water Back.

00:01:05
Speaker 5: I renumber two Kentucky Sports Radio. Here at KOs bar and grill just open. Uh we have Wings day Dollar Wings. Got some folks in here. Where are you guys from at the bar right here in Lexington? All right, good, nice to see you all. The Uh you were just telling me the person that got in before Tony Delk what was his name?

00:01:28
Speaker 3: Again?

00:01:28
Speaker 6: Well, I'm reading, you know, a big blue history with all the stats. They have all this stuff, so they have the full list. And in two thousand and one during the Auburn game, looks like Burgess Kerry was honored. Who is Burgess secondary the second ever All American at Kentucky.

00:01:43
Speaker 3: See, I've never heard of Burgess carry. He played.

00:01:47
Speaker 6: In nineteen twenty six, a little before our time.

00:01:50
Speaker 5: I will say this, there was a little period of time where we got a little i don't know, we got a little loose with our standards. Well, you you were around back then. Why we let all those people in on the for a while.

00:02:02
Speaker 7: Well, I'm not gonna say something that it's not earth shattering, but a lot of the guys were just buddies and former teammates of Seam Newton and so he a lot of the jerseys up there are guys that he played with in that era, and they got a lot.

00:02:17
Speaker 2: It's pretty full up there. So but like, what era.

00:02:20
Speaker 3: Are we talking about?

00:02:21
Speaker 6: Ninety five to two thousand and two? Looks like we're pretty busy honoring people.

00:02:24
Speaker 3: Then who all did we honor in ninety five to two thousand?

00:02:27
Speaker 6: See?

00:02:28
Speaker 3: How about?

00:02:29
Speaker 6: Says Kenny Walker. Okay, that's Macy, Roby, Givens, Kevin Greevy, pat Riley, Vernon, Hatton, Johnny Cox, Bob Burrow. This is all according to this table. I'm looking at him. I assume it's accurate.

00:02:44
Speaker 5: Look before that era, Yeah, that, I'm okay with all those things. It's the names before I think you're right. The names before that. We're talking like early nineties, late eighties, early nineties, and.

00:02:56
Speaker 7: It's such a good tradition. We've we just saw we've done it three times since two thousand and one.

00:03:01
Speaker 5: But that's what I don't I feel like the modern guys are are kinda they're sort of the standard isn't the same. There's no way there's like even the Patino guys, Tony Delk should not be the Tony Delk and Mashburne shouldn't be the only ones, right if you're gonna and they are, and they're probably gonna be the only ones that probably like the other one would be what would be next?

00:03:21
Speaker 2: Angewe Walker probably one.

00:03:23
Speaker 5: And the Mercer and they probably won't want.

00:03:26
Speaker 7: The rules were written where if you leave early you weren't in it. You were ineligible at that time, like Mercer and Walker, those guys were not eligible.

00:03:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's ridiculous. You gotta change that too. Who's up next, Shannon?

00:03:35
Speaker 4: All right, let's go to rees Reese.

00:03:37
Speaker 3: How are you, Reese?

00:03:40
Speaker 8: I'm doing good. It's November six, so naturally I want to talk about our national championship chances. Okay, and I think with U b Yu last year, I wanted to make this point in the summer, but we're a better team than BYU on offense and on defense. Ken Palm b Yu ranked in offense number fourteen, in defense number sixty. I think a good goal for our team not to win the national championship, but to get in that top thirty five. Top thirty five, I think is very feasible. Right now, we're twenty third in offense and like fifty seventh in defense. I don't think those numbers are very good right now because we've only played three games together, but I feel like that's a feasible goal.

00:04:21
Speaker 5: Our defense is gonna so our kim Pom rating is gonna be interesting this year because and I appreciate the call, because of how we play Ryan, our defensive efficiency is probably not gonna be great because we gonna.

00:04:35
Speaker 3: Play a style where we're gonna give away a lot of points.

00:04:38
Speaker 5: But if we score a lot of points, it'll be like kim Pom is very useful, But I wonder how useful it is with this style because we're gonna give up a lot of points. I mean, if we're fifty seventh in defense, I feel like we've played pretty good defense against Wright State. We only let him score sixty two. So for fifty seventh in defense, I don't really know how much that's gonna be help.

00:05:00
Speaker 7: Be honest, for the first thirty minutes of the game, we've kind of locked them up. With about ten minutes left, kind of slacked off and Right State went on kind of a run there where they put up a lot of points. But when we were playing our best defense, we were kind of locking those guys down.

00:05:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, and with kN palm this early, I don't even we were talking about this the day. I don't know how they do anything when there's such a small sample size, well as new teams. But look at it last year, like the caller was noting, BYU was ranked a head of Kentucky at the end of the year. I mean their offensive rating was much higher than their defenses, but they were still around fiftieth defensively.

00:05:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, our defensive rating was what was it last year, like one hundred and fiftieth.

00:05:33
Speaker 6: I mean, it wasn't in the top one.

00:05:34
Speaker 3: Hundred it is, it was not It was not good at all.

00:05:37
Speaker 5: They released the bracket projection Ryan for the college football playoffs yesterday. They have Oregon is the one, Georgia the two, Miami the three, then BYU, four SEC teams, four Big Ten teams, all the other conferences just get one. I think this is just how it's gonna be. And I think the if you're in the SEC you can kind of figure four teams in the playoff most years is gonna be the way the way it ends up going.

00:06:06
Speaker 7: Do you think that out of those four SEC teams gonna be any movement somebody?

00:06:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think right right now, they've got Georgia, Texas, Alabama, and Tennessee. I think if Texas A and M beats Texas, they would pass them. Right, LSU only has one laws, so if LSU were to beat Alabama, I think they would then go.

00:06:26
Speaker 3: Tennessee's in a pretty good place.

00:06:28
Speaker 5: I mean, Tennessee plays Georgia, so Tennessee could end up losing that Georgia game. But there are I mean, if you've got LSU, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, Texas A and M, it's almost like those are almost three playoff games drew to get in the playoff. It's almost like a playoff for a playoff.

00:06:44
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I didn't have strong thoughts about the rankings last night, but just seeing that projected bracket, I love the new format. Anyone who hates the twelve team format get out here. Like you have Tennessee playing Indiana, winner goes to Oregon or was it like Penn State?

00:07:00
Speaker 3: Wherever these games.

00:07:01
Speaker 5: Would be on These games would be on campuses, so you would have Boise State go to Ohio State. That would be cool to see if that running back like how legit is he against UH? Because he might win the Heisman. How how legit is he with the winner going to BYU? Of all, well, you wouldn't go to BYU. They were just playing the ball. Yeah, Indiana plays at Tennessee, Tennessee.

00:07:26
Speaker 3: Who would you root for in that game?

00:07:29
Speaker 9: Oh?

00:07:29
Speaker 6: Indiana?

00:07:30
Speaker 2: Almost root for Indiana?

00:07:31
Speaker 5: You root for Indiana? Yeah, I guess I would too. Alabama and Texas. How about a playoff game that's Alabama in Texas. I mean they already they already played, but let's say let's say you got that.

00:07:40
Speaker 7: One that could that could be Yes, yeah, that could be a national championship game.

00:07:44
Speaker 2: Right there, they're playing in the in the Bruckets.

00:07:46
Speaker 5: And then Notre Dame would go to Penn State. That'd be a great I mean just thinking about those atmospheres in December when they go to Penn State and it's December twenty first, and it's cold and it's snowy, and you put the and Notre Dame runs out like that would be awesome, wouldn't it?

00:08:03
Speaker 7: Just those four home games you talked about Ohio State, Tennessee, Penn State, and or Texas Texas, those are four great environments to begin with. Now you make it the playoff game, it's just gonna double it.

00:08:14
Speaker 5: And what's interesting about the playoff is like, because they're given the four conference winners bys, like BYU doesn't even feel like they should be in this and they get a bye, which goes back to the thing I said a long time ago. The seed you want to be is the five. The five seed is great. Look at Ohio State open with Boise State and then you play BYU. You basically go to the semifinals by beating Boise State and BYU. I think there's a strong argument the five seed is the best seed you can get.

00:08:48
Speaker 2: That's a perfect seed.

00:08:49
Speaker 7: If you're Ohio State, you got a home game, then you gotta the next round this.

00:08:54
Speaker 5: Would you rather play have to beat boise and BYU to go to the semifinals?

00:08:59
Speaker 3: Or would you rather be one seed Oregon it'd have to beat Tennessee.

00:09:03
Speaker 2: Give me Boise State and BYU.

00:09:04
Speaker 3: I mean, I'd rather play Boise State and BYU. It's two games, but they're gonna be easier games. Probably, Yeah, I see your point.

00:09:11
Speaker 6: I'd probably still want to buy a week at that point of the year, but it makes an easier path for teams that maybe don't deserve it.

00:09:17
Speaker 5: I think the five seed and by the way, it was Chris Fowler said that Saturday, but just for the record, I said that a month ago. I think the five seed is where you want to be. If you can't, you know, be the be with one. Who's next?

00:09:30
Speaker 4: Jay Rock?

00:09:31
Speaker 3: Jay Rock? How are you? Eight? Five nine, two twenty two eighty seven?

00:09:35
Speaker 10: Hey, what's going on? Yo? I'm sorry if I'm not at the top of my game this morning. I kind of feel like garbage.

00:09:40
Speaker 5: But uh, I got you, Joe, We'll try if you I got your joke, Tony, you.

00:09:49
Speaker 10: Mad imagine you. I'm surprised none of the college is calling and ask you why they ain't playing. Uh the Kentucky Boys. And one thing you should bring from old UK basketball, according to Jay Rock, should be probation. And then what is the three things you want doctor Ryan Lemon to explain about the brain surgery before we leave.

00:10:11
Speaker 5: I appreciate the call, even he brought all kinds of things right there. Uh more, people given things they want to bring back from the ninety okay, Uh, the the toilet flush what do they mean by that?

00:10:24
Speaker 7: When we'd shoot a free throw, everybody would hold their hand up and the ball would go through the net.

00:10:28
Speaker 2: We'd all go whoosh.

00:10:30
Speaker 3: I remember that.

00:10:31
Speaker 6: I never heard it called the toilet.

00:10:32
Speaker 2: I've never heard it called the toilet flush. But we would either.

00:10:34
Speaker 3: Whoosh, it's called it, and that's called the toilet flush. We could.

00:10:38
Speaker 6: According to that one person, yeah, you put your hands up during a free throw and then wait for it to go in.

00:10:42
Speaker 5: The one person says, what about the Ryan Lemon halftime We should definitely.

00:10:47
Speaker 3: Bring that back.

00:10:48
Speaker 5: Catah, cat, wow, cat, we should bring that back. Honestly, Kentucky basketball change for the negative when they stopped doing that. I mean the timeline, The timeline is kind of there. Ryan Lemon shooting Ryan Lemon, having them shoot from half court was kind of awesome.

00:11:06
Speaker 6: People wouldn't leave their seat at halftime when Roan Lemon was the halftime show.

00:11:11
Speaker 2: I have no comment.

00:11:12
Speaker 3: What do you mean you have no comment?

00:11:14
Speaker 2: I kind of messed up.

00:11:15
Speaker 3: You didn't mess up. You said squirt to the ceiling. Why is that bad?

00:11:19
Speaker 5: He was in the news. Katina Pal said it. That guy looked at me like, you've never heard that phrase before. Do you remember when Katina Pal said that?

00:11:27
Speaker 4: Okay, good, quoting a prostitute on a live microphone in front of twenty.

00:11:32
Speaker 5: Thousand that you did say it the day it happened, So it was a little fresh.

00:11:38
Speaker 2: I think, you know, we can talk about people.

00:11:39
Speaker 3: You know.

00:11:40
Speaker 7: Dwayne Peevee called me and he said, Hey, we're not going to need you these last three home games. We have other stuff already set up. It's not because of what happened, but it was the other stuff already set up. They had, like the firefighter Versus Police officer basketball game.

00:11:52
Speaker 3: So he said it wasn't because of that.

00:11:54
Speaker 7: Uh huh, Well, because of that, we already had stuff already plans. We don't need you the last Did you believe them?

00:11:58
Speaker 3: No?

00:11:58
Speaker 2: And then I never got a call in the next year for.

00:12:01
Speaker 6: The next several years.

00:12:02
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:12:03
Speaker 5: One person says, what about the guy on the stilts, which is something I didn't even know happen until we talked about it a few weeks ago.

00:12:09
Speaker 7: I forgot about that guy. But then somebody said about what about dancing guy.

00:12:14
Speaker 6: Uh, they've been playing money money, and I feel like they should let him come back.

00:12:18
Speaker 5: I mean, there should be a rule, please don't pick anyone up.

00:12:21
Speaker 3: But at the.

00:12:22
Speaker 6: Games and they're playing the music. It's just not getting that moment.

00:12:25
Speaker 2: Is he getting up and dancing at all?

00:12:27
Speaker 3: I look for him.

00:12:27
Speaker 6: I've seen him in the concourse, but during mony moment.

00:12:30
Speaker 5: I think we should I think we should do that. What's next, Jimmy, Jimmy, go ahead, Jimmy, Hey, Matt.

00:12:37
Speaker 11: I'm gonna kind of take a left hand turn here talking about football. I'm going to the game in Texas. Is there an update on the start time yet?

00:12:46
Speaker 5: No, they'll decide that. They'll decide that next Monday. So it will the Texas game is either it will, It's definitely not. It's between six and eight, so you can assume it's a night game, but but it could be anywhere from six to eight o'clock.

00:13:06
Speaker 11: Okay, awesome, awesome And one thing I'd love to see bring back back from the nineties as far as UK basketball is concerned. I know some people are probably split on this. The denim jerseys and shorts.

00:13:18
Speaker 3: Do you think they would sell? I appreciate the call.

00:13:20
Speaker 5: You think they would sell well if they brought back the denim, because it's not about the denim, it's what's in them.

00:13:24
Speaker 7: I think they would sell more today than they did in ninety seven.

00:13:28
Speaker 3: I think they would be a huge hit. I think that would go viral. Yep.

00:13:31
Speaker 5: I think it would be. If you're just looking at what would be a huge hit. I mean like if I could find a denim hoodie.

00:13:39
Speaker 6: It's coming back? Just get ready?

00:13:41
Speaker 2: Do you say that?

00:13:42
Speaker 3: Like you know?

00:13:42
Speaker 6: Do you know it's coming back? Just get ready? That's all I'm saying. It's all I'm allowed to say.

00:13:47
Speaker 3: Interesting.

00:13:48
Speaker 2: Do you think they do it?

00:13:49
Speaker 3: You don't.

00:13:49
Speaker 12: You don't do that a lot, Like what's uh coming back? It seems like it seems like he's got some info san and he doesn't. Drew doesn't usually talk like this.

00:14:00
Speaker 6: I've been pro Dinum even before Pope came back. I wanted the din them to come.

00:14:04
Speaker 3: When you say that, you like this year.

00:14:08
Speaker 6: Probably I could see them saving it for a reunion game or something, but it isn't the works.

00:14:13
Speaker 2: It would be cool for the reunion game or the Caliperi game.

00:14:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know when they're doing it, but I am pretty confident that.

00:14:20
Speaker 5: I don't think you do it for the cal Parry game. The cal Perry game has to be focused on winning that game. I would do it from like I would do it for like two or three games. Yeah, right, because you don't want to just bring it out for the first one or for like a huge one.

00:14:34
Speaker 7: Would you like you play it one the regular season and then bring it out at the SEC tournament.

00:14:40
Speaker 5: No, I would just do a regular season game first of all. I would do the eyicicles this year too. We need the eicicles. The icicles are cool.

00:14:48
Speaker 6: Well, we were on a path where they did the I guess thirty years for ninety two, ninety three, just a couple of years ago, the ninety six next year, let's just whatever they were wearing thirty years ago. Let's throw it on because that's something it was changing about it.

00:15:00
Speaker 3: Tell me about Stoctor Mortgage, Stockton Mortgage.

00:15:02

00:15:10
Speaker 5: I knew Shitton when he started, and he didn't scramble to pull up the script.

00:15:15
Speaker 3: I knew he wasn't gonna do it.

00:15:16
Speaker 5: I could just tell it was weird because you always scrambled, usually drop your phone, hit yourself in the face, and you just set back like you had it.

00:15:26
Speaker 2: I got it now, Okay, this will be a lot better because you're reading. Yeah, this will be a lot better.

00:15:30
Speaker 3: All right.

I'm gonna come out here and watch the Bengals tomorrow night.

00:16:19
Speaker 3: Route them on. They've had it.

00:16:20
Speaker 5: They struggled this year, but I'm feeling like, if they can win tomorrow night, they kind of get back on track.

00:16:25
Speaker 2: What are they now? Four and five? Is that the record for four and four?

00:16:29
Speaker 3: Four four, four and five?

00:16:31
Speaker 6: I think I think they still have a losing record. Okay, well then what four and five?

00:16:36
Speaker 3: Four and five?

00:16:37
Speaker 5: So we win one more than it's five and five and the last time I checked that was even So that would be uh, that would be good. The the FC is tough, the NFC. Nobody's good except Detroit. But Zadarius just got traded to Detroit. So Zadarius is on a gonna on the Super Bowl contender.

00:16:54
Speaker 2: Again on one of the best teams going. Yeah right now.

00:16:56
Speaker 7: The Bengals what Burl through five touchdowns last weekend, so maybe they finally found themselves a little bit.

00:17:02
Speaker 6: So Titans added Mike Edwards today, So pray for Mike Edwards.

00:17:06
Speaker 5: Yeah, Mike Gundhy, Yeah, Mike Gundy your guy. He's a man and he I'm just gonna say, he's your guy. He he apologized. Did you see what he apologized for? He uh? He he apologized because he said that most of the people that were complaining about the fact he was zero and six in conference were losers. He said, they point the finger and blame other people. You see it happen in everyday life. In most cases, the people that are negative and voicing their opinion are ones that can't even pay their own bills. They can't take care of themselves, they can't take their care of their own family.

00:17:45
Speaker 3: They don't even have a job.

00:17:47
Speaker 5: But they think they can speak out and complain because it makes them feel better. But then they go to bed at night and they're the same failure they were before they said anything about anybody else.

00:17:57
Speaker 2: Wow, what a goodness.

00:18:01
Speaker 6: I think he needs a pr person. So he's said in the DUI this summer, he's like, ah, sometimes you drink a few beers and drive around, you know.

00:18:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes he's and six.

00:18:11
Speaker 5: He's O and six in conference, they're like two and two one in seven overall, and he comes out and goes by the way, you guys.

00:18:19
Speaker 3: Are all failures and losers. Uh. He apologized though, and said, uh.

00:18:24
Speaker 5: His apology said, I'm apologized to those who I offended. My intent was not to offend any of our fans that have supported this program.

00:18:30
Speaker 3: What was your intent?

00:18:32
Speaker 4: We exactly, he kills everybody losers, but he's O and six.

00:18:35
Speaker 5: He's the one that is by definition a loser. They are losing all of their games. But I just I mean, I love coming out and going whoa, I love I love coming out and going You're a failure, all of you.

00:18:49
Speaker 2: I don't understand.

00:18:49
Speaker 7: You're the head coach and if you turn it around, you start when you want those fans to support you. But am I saying something like that, You're you know, you're just pushing them away?

00:18:57
Speaker 2: Like what was it?

00:18:58
Speaker 7: Billy Napier said something about the owned Florida fans that live in central Florida or something, and then now they started winning, they're not coming back.

00:19:05
Speaker 2: Well because you pushed them away a couple months ago.

00:19:07
Speaker 4: I guess by his standards, I guess we are losers because we're not getting paid millions of dollars to coach a football team.

00:19:13
Speaker 3: So yeah, I did love that he goes, you can't even support your family.

00:19:16
Speaker 5: That was like, I mean, it's a strong comment for somebody, Uh, you know who's zero to six in the thing. I will I've never been a Mike Gudny fan. I think he's kind of a complete goober, But I will say this, once you start complaining about your fans, it is almost over.

00:19:36
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:19:36
Speaker 5: The moment you look at your fans and you say it is your fault, you are headed for defeat. Yeah, it's like you just are like like those fans are your customers.

00:19:49
Speaker 3: You are headed for defeat. Who's up next, Jamie, Jamie? Go ahead, Jamie.

00:19:56
Speaker 13: Yes, I've got a question. I enjoy your All program. You all do an excellent job. Big on tradition. I know that Trent Noah came out in high school too. You'll Ever Leave Harlor Alive drought tears to my eyes at Big Blue Madness. Why do they play it before football players come out?

00:20:20
Speaker 3: I don't like it. I'm with you.

00:20:23
Speaker 5: You're saying they shouldn't play it before football games.

00:20:28
Speaker 13: No, I don't mind. I just wonder why they picked that song.

00:20:34
Speaker 3: I don't really know.

00:20:35
Speaker 5: I mean, I have to tell you, I think we are pretty awful at everything that sets an atmosphere. We picked the wrong songs. I mean, You'll Never Leave Harland Alive is cool, but is that really what you want to play before you run out to the football game.

00:20:51
Speaker 3: I mean, it just doesn't really. I love that song.

00:20:54
Speaker 5: I think it's beautiful, but it's like I don't think that's a pre game football song especially, it just doesn't have the vibe and I feel like Drew I would encourage people to go to other stadiums and see kind of how bad we are.

00:21:17
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

00:21:18
Speaker 6: Yeah, I like it at football. It kind of came natural, like Grove Street where they played it one time and the crowd reacted well. And now they do it where it goes dark and it leads into something a little more.

00:21:28
Speaker 3: I just don't think it works.

00:21:29
Speaker 6: Do you I like it? I like it a lot and one of the best.

00:21:32
Speaker 3: Do you do think it works? You know what?

00:21:33
Speaker 6: It came kind of work. I don't remember the first time they played it, but I remember being there and the crowd really got into it and I was like, oh, they might have something there. And the way they do it, they it's not the team doesn't run out to it. They play it and then it goes dark and then I think walka flakka comes on, and I think a baseball player come I like the addition of it. I wish we had a western Kentucky song. I don't know if you do parad ice or something, but I enjoy it.

00:21:55
Speaker 2: I'm with Drew and it started.

00:21:57
Speaker 7: It was, you know, after the bad floods they had in the mountains in each Kentucky and they had the benefit concert and Patty Lovelis came and sang the song. It was the next home game they played it. Nobody knew it was coming, and it was kind of a cool moment there. And I think now they're just trying to capture it because.

00:22:12
Speaker 6: Now it's like an intro into something bigger.

00:22:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a kind of you know, now the lights they can turn the lights off and gets.

00:22:18
Speaker 5: It was awesome with Trent all right, and I I love the song. I mean I was playing you that song before you you have the song one oh yeah.

00:22:29
Speaker 3: Maybe I just don't know if it works in that environment.

00:22:31
Speaker 5: If you here's the thing, if you go watch these other teams and you hear when they come out, what it does from a noise perspective, I don't know that playing the slow song has the same.

00:22:42
Speaker 6: I think my question is what what is the doomas Walker? We are doing that every game every year.

00:22:49
Speaker 3: It's terrible. It's terrible. We win, let's all go.

00:22:53
Speaker 5: I love Dumas Walker again is a song, but that is not a song for a football game.

00:22:58
Speaker 3: Like it's it's just not.

00:23:00
Speaker 6: I love Slaw, Burger's and a bottle of schime. I went six years of it.

00:23:04
Speaker 3: I went to the place four weeks ago. It was great.

00:23:07
Speaker 5: I love it, but like not for this. Yeah, we've got to walk. A Floka was the perfect example. It happens, happening and now it's kind.

00:23:16
Speaker 3: Of a thing.

00:23:18
Speaker 5: I just the moment the game, the game's over, they play this, Yeah, come on, UK, just get a little better at the atmosphere.

00:23:27
Speaker 3: We'll be right back.

00:23:29
Speaker 9: TJ.

00:23:29
Speaker 3: Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ. He'll make them pay now.

00:23:33
Speaker 4: More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

00:23:39
Speaker 3: That's really good.

00:23:40
Speaker 2: It's awesome.

00:23:41
Speaker 5: He really is, like, I mean, she's she's good. Brad Paisley has a good version of it too. And it mentions Pineval. I just don't know if I would do it at the game, but it mentions Pineval mentions Harlan it's Harland like the most Kentucky town.

00:23:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, if you're saying.

00:23:59
Speaker 2: What is the like, he goes right into that.

00:24:03
Speaker 5: If you're saying what's the most, it's either it's got First of all, if you're gonna have the most. People are gonna get mad about this, and that's all right. But if it's if you're gonna have the most Kentucky town, I think it kind of needs to be in the mountains because our our culture no offense to Western Kentucky, but our culture is kind of mountain based.

00:24:22
Speaker 6: Don't be swimming in our lakes.

00:24:24
Speaker 3: I like your lakes. I'm just saying.

00:24:27
Speaker 5: Then, when you're thinking about what is the most like what feels like Kentucky, I would think it's gotta.

00:24:32
Speaker 3: Be Harlan, maybe Hazard.

00:24:35
Speaker 2: It's Harlan or Hazard, that's the answer.

00:24:37
Speaker 5: Maybe potvil, potful, but I think it's I think you're probably looking at Harlan or Hazard that sort of best embodies what it means.

00:24:47
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

00:24:48
Speaker 7: Yeah, well that you know, the heart and soul of our state goes back to the coal mines of eastern Kentucky, which centered in Harlan, Kentucky. You know, Uh, when I first moved here, Irack coms, God rest your soul. He told me, he goes you're gonna learn in Kentucky you're either from Hazard, or you're from this side of Hazard, or you're from that side.

00:25:04
Speaker 3: Well, he said that because he's from Hazard, but I mean it's.

00:25:06
Speaker 5: Uh well, I mean I also remember there was a time Harlan had what was it fifty thousand people like it, like I mean it. There's probably no town. I mean, there was a time I want to say, in like nineteen twenty or nineteen thirty or something where Harlan's population was bigger than Lexington's.

00:25:24
Speaker 2: Then they have like a Cadillac dealership or something in.

00:25:26
Speaker 5: The till I don't know about that. They had it in Ashland. Yeah, there was a Cadillac dealership in Ashland.

00:25:32
Speaker 7: Yeah, Will Like I said, the center of the coal industry was in Harlan, Kentucky.

00:25:37
Speaker 2: There's no doubt.

00:25:37
Speaker 5: All right, so you forgive me. I'm going answer one question because I like this question. Person rights, Matt, You're the only Democrat my dad will.

00:25:46
Speaker 3: Listen to, including me.

00:25:49
Speaker 5: You should listen to your son. What do you think with trouble winning is the best thing that could happen.

00:25:56
Speaker 3: And the worst?

00:25:58
Speaker 2: That's a loaded question, all right, So.

00:26:03
Speaker 3: I'll be doing the worst first, so I end positively. All right.

00:26:06
Speaker 5: The thing I'm the most worried about this is the one thing I'm the most like he'll have policies.

00:26:11
Speaker 3: That I don't like.

00:26:12
Speaker 5: That's okay, we have disagreements. Life will go on. I'm that happens with every president, policies you disagree with. Here's the thing that worries me and that I hope he doesn't do, because this is the thing that I think is hard for America to come back from. Our entire system of government is based on separation of powers. Right, the president has power, the judiciary has power, the legislature has power. There's been some talk around the people around Trump that if the Supreme Court comes and says, Trump, you can't do this, that he'll just say I'm.

00:26:46
Speaker 3: Doing it anyway. What are you going to do about it? That would be hard to come back form.

00:26:52
Speaker 5: So if he makes an order and the Supreme Court says that's unconstitutional, and he goes, I don't care, I don't know how you come back from now, And that's what that is the one thing I'm working for two hundred and twenty five years. Courts have struck down what government does, and government always accepts it. They don't like it, but they accept it. What if he doesn't that worries me. That's the thing that for everything else. In four years will be a new president. But that worries me. Now, what could he do well. There's a group of people out there that are working class who I think have been forgotten by the government for seventy five years. They really like Trump. The Democrats' policies and Trump they could come together and help those people.

00:27:42
Speaker 3: They could. I thought he was going to do it last.

00:27:45
Speaker 5: Time, and he almost did, but they ended up just giving tax cuts to rich people. I'd love to see that happen because the people who go out here and work every day deserve to have an easier life than they have, and there's this opportunity because he has a unique time type of republicanism that kind of coincides with the unions. I hope they do that. That's my positive. So that's my worry, and then that's my positive.

00:28:09
Speaker 2: It was good, did a good job with that.

00:28:11
Speaker 5: You got you folks can sit down, Just go just go ahead and pick your spot. We uh eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Who's up next?

00:28:18
Speaker 3: Gerald? Gerald? Go ahead, Jerald. Your phone's breaking up. Gerald. Are you on bluetooth or something?

00:28:29
Speaker 5: No? Yeah, I can't hear you. I'm sorry, sir, I appreciate the call. I can't, we can't, we can't hear you.

00:28:37
Speaker 7: I do have a question. While I was talking about Trump. Yeah, are there's still criminal charges pending against him?

00:28:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, he'll I'm sure he'll pardon himself from all of them. But there's that one in New York. He can't because it's a state charge. So I don't know what happens with that.

00:28:51
Speaker 2: So is there a chance he could still get arrested?

00:28:55
Speaker 5: I mean in theory, but I don't know how that works. Uh, he'll parton himself from the federal ones, but I don't know what happens with the state one.

00:29:03
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, who's next.

00:29:05
Speaker 4: Let's go to Sam?

00:29:06
Speaker 3: Sam? Go ahead, Sam Crutch.

00:29:10
Speaker 14: It's funny how you talk about Hagrid because I'm from Hagard. Well good, my question, But my question for you is, considering how we've been playing these last few games, and considering the first half of that one game and they made a couple of turnovers, how do you think we'll go up against Duke and Gonzaga and Arkansas. Has the season progressive?

00:29:40
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, we'll see, you know, Drew, I don't know.

00:29:43
Speaker 5: I mean, I think, first of all, I wouldn't put Arkansas in that same group, yet they're losing Lipscomb tonight.

00:29:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I.

00:29:51
Speaker 5: Think the teams that are the best right now in college basketball that we play are gonna be Alabama, Duke, and and uh.

00:30:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're the ones that I'm I'm concerned.

00:30:05
Speaker 5: I'm not as concerned necessarily about Arkansas, although we've got to beat them because of the col factor, but they're not gonna be one of the best teams we play.

00:30:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, my opinion of Gonzaga changed a little bit watching them destroy Baylor, and they look very good. A lot of experience, a lot of names we know that feel like they've been there a long time going there. That one's gonna be a lot tougher than I originally thought.

00:30:22
Speaker 3: Yes, Uh, Shady Rays. If you need sunglasses, where can you go get them?

00:30:26
Speaker 2: I would go to Shady Rag Shady.

00:30:27
Speaker 3: Rays dot com. They got a lexing store, they got a Louisville store.

00:30:30
Speaker 5: You could use the promo code ks R, you get the they got great guarantees, you got refunds. It's all kinds of stuff at Shady Rays. Premium polarized sunglasses at a price you can afford. It is Shady Rays and Shady Rays dot Com. We'll take a break and be right back. This's KSR.

00:30:48
Speaker 3: Walk the back.

00:30:49
Speaker 5: It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Here at ksbar. Wings day throughout the day and night. One dollar wings. Can't The guy just told me where was he back there? He said he had him for the first time and he loved him. He'd be back here every Wednesday. I was like, well, you can come back different days so that you don't always have to take them when they're the cheapest price. But seven days a week if you want. Yeah, I mean that's a lot of wings if you eat seven days week.

00:31:10
Speaker 2: But they're so good you want to eat them seven days a week.

00:31:12
Speaker 5: You think you could eat anything seven days a week and you would get tired of it.

00:31:16
Speaker 6: Choi chip cookies, maybe a little variety I want to get on the menu, But you could eat Mexican for every meal.

00:31:22
Speaker 5: A twenty two eighty seven. Mario, come up here really quick. I want you to quickly tell. I want you to quickly tell. Talk about what happened with you in Owen County a couple of days ago. So you went I just sent you on a tour of the state where this is gonna be. Mario goes to the counties, and you went to Owen County, right, tell me what happened when you got there.

00:31:47
Speaker 9: It was incredible.

00:31:48
Speaker 15: I arrived at Owen County High School at first and met the athletic director, TJ. Wesselman. He kind of welcomed me with open arms. I met the broadcasting in media class. It was very cool, some pictures with them. We even did a TikTok in the gymnasium and also we uh, they gave me a swag bag when I walked in there.

00:32:08
Speaker 9: I got a swag bag, T shirt, hoodie, hat, everything.

00:32:11
Speaker 5: Like and none of this was playing, by the way, we just randomly picked the place, didn't they Like?

00:32:15
Speaker 3: Have you have a thing up on the scoreboard.

00:32:18
Speaker 15: I walk into the gym and there's a there's a graphic created for that says welcome ksr by Own County High School on the scoreboard.

00:32:26
Speaker 3: And we had just we had just figured it out this morning, just.

00:32:29
Speaker 11: Figured it out.

00:32:29
Speaker 15: I wasn't sure when I first came to the school. I was like, are they gonna sneak me in? Like I'm not sure, Like what what's I don't know how the logistics.

00:32:36
Speaker 6: Of it was gonna work, but it was.

00:32:37
Speaker 3: It was awesome, man, And so they made you feel welcome.

00:32:39
Speaker 9: Very welcome, very welcome.

00:32:41
Speaker 3: Did you go to the suit store? I did.

00:32:44
Speaker 15: I didn't do much shopping in the suit store, but I got a chance to meet Larry Tackett and we talked about Joe B. Hall a little bit and that was a lot of fun. It was a lot more talking than me just actually shopping.

00:32:56
Speaker 3: And then what else did you see in Owen County?

00:32:58
Speaker 15: I went to Elk Creek, got a chance to shoot a shotgun, which is really cool for me.

00:33:03
Speaker 3: Had you ever shot a shotgun?

00:33:04
Speaker 9: I never did it, Never did.

00:33:06
Speaker 15: I was nervous the kickback, yes, the kickback, but it was a good feeling once I got it done.

00:33:11
Speaker 3: So you did it? Kickback hard?

00:33:13
Speaker 9: Not not as hard as I thought it was.

00:33:14
Speaker 3: So you think you might start hunting? Probably not? Probably not?

00:33:21
Speaker 9: Maybe visit a shooting range every now and then.

00:33:23
Speaker 3: Okay, all right? And he was there.

00:33:25
Speaker 6: I texted him at like seven pm. Do you live there?

00:33:28
Speaker 9: Now?

00:33:28
Speaker 6: This was supposed to be a quick one hour.

00:33:32
Speaker 3: You seem to you seem to like it, you know.

00:33:35
Speaker 15: I went to the Dollar General. You got a chance to see the gatorades?

00:33:38
Speaker 9: Is that dollars?

00:33:39
Speaker 6: So it's a lot of them, right, yeah?

00:33:40
Speaker 9: Yeah, it was kind of scattered throughout.

00:33:42
Speaker 3: That How were the How was the gatorade?

00:33:44
Speaker 15: It was good, you know, scattered throughout the store. It was got a chance to pick up a few on my way back.

00:33:49
Speaker 3: But cool experience from well good.

00:33:52
Speaker 5: So you went to the school, you went to a shooting range. You had all the gatorade a man could drink?

00:33:57
Speaker 15: Would you I went to pool hall. That was very fun, very vintage vibe they got in there. I know you guys said that. You know they used to smoke in that place. Didn't smell like cigarettes or anything like that.

00:34:08
Speaker 3: Okay, but it was cool.

00:34:10
Speaker 9: There was a lot of kids in there playing pool.

00:34:12
Speaker 3: You know, did you challenge any of them? I didn't.

00:34:14
Speaker 9: I kind of wanted to let them have their moment.

00:34:15
Speaker 3: I didn't want to want to let them have their moment. Okay. So overall, how would you grade your Owen County trip?

00:34:21
Speaker 9: You know, Drew, you know I'm a big fan of Lebanon.

00:34:24
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, big for you wear the shirt four days a week.

00:34:26
Speaker 9: Owen County might be.

00:34:32
Speaker 3: Right?

00:34:33
Speaker 5: So in a couple of weeks where we may send you to another one if people want to have Mario visit their town.

00:34:39
Speaker 3: Have you made your video yet?

00:34:40
Speaker 9: Working on the video videos coming up by the end of this week.

00:34:43
Speaker 5: All right, little Mario meets Owen County. Well good, I'm glad you had a good time, Mario.

00:34:47
Speaker 3: I did too. I had a great time. All right, there you go, Mario. Uh.

00:34:51
Speaker 5: Mario visits the state as he will produce his Owen County video this week.

00:34:55
Speaker 6: I really wondered if he was coming home that was supposed to be. Just go check it out, take a few pictures, come get me.

00:35:00
Speaker 3: You know what.

00:35:00
Speaker 6: He did everything.

00:35:01
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what though. There was a little drama Mario Monday night. I'm just telling you, don't mess with him. That's all I'm gonna say.

00:35:10
Speaker 2: Did you mess with him? You messed with all of us.

00:35:11
Speaker 3: That's right. I got frustrated, but it all worked itself out. I'm just telling you you got to be careful one of us. Now, that's right. Who's up next, Jacob, Jacob, how are you Jacob?

00:35:25
Speaker 16: Bill Well, Matt, how are you doing?

00:35:26
Speaker 3: Good? Good?

00:35:29
Speaker 16: Well? Just to talk about the atmosphere and whatnot. To the collar brought up for Crogerfield and also a reperena. I went to.

00:35:40
Speaker 3: A van.

00:35:41
Speaker 16: I went to the Vanderbilt Texas football game a few weeks ago. My dad's a big Texas fan. He grew up in Texas and I had season tickets and he would come to the UK games with me, so I've told him I would go to that one with him. And with the renovations that they're doing at Vandy and just some of the improvements that they've made, I would say that their atmosphere, I don't know if I would say it's better, but it was certainly a lot more lively.

00:36:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I do wonder if that's a one time thing. Though.

00:36:16
Speaker 5: I think they're good this year, so they're able to do it. I don't know if that'll be consistent. We'll see, maybe it will be.

00:36:24
Speaker 16: Sure. Yeah, And I was gonna ask, do you think that team's success how big? Do you think team success builds into that? Because oh, it's huge. You know, Kentucky has not been good. Wow, Kentuck has not been good at home?

00:36:37
Speaker 3: I mean well at home, yes, but I mean we've been again.

00:36:41
Speaker 5: I don't know what people's standards are for Kentucky football for being good. But they've been good for a long time until this year, at least by our standard.

00:36:48
Speaker 3: But yes, I appreciate the call.

00:36:51
Speaker 5: Look, when you are Kentucky basketball, you're gonna have a great atmosphere no matter what. But if you are Georgia basketball, you need to be good to have a great atmosphere. I think with Kentucky football we have an okay atmosphere and then when we're great or really good, we have a great atmosphere. But I can't really blame the fans for atmosphere this year. Look, we had four opportunities, three of which were at night, great crowds, excited in the SEC, and we lost every game. I don't know what else you can ask our fan base to do, Ryan, When they showed up to all those games and they just got let down.

00:37:28
Speaker 7: Our fan base was on point this year. The performance on the field didn't didn't happen forth, you know, didn't get the w's, but our fans were there.

00:37:36
Speaker 5: That atmosphere for Georgia was great, It was great. The atmosphere for South Carolina was great. The atmosphere for Auburn was great. The atmosphere for Fandy was great, we just lost all those games, drew and at some point your fans aren't gonna say we've lost eleven of thirteen.

00:37:49
Speaker 3: Games here in the SEC. It's gonna hurt.

00:37:52
Speaker 6: I think the fans did even more than they should have this year. I was surprised that there were as many as they were at the Auburn game. There are a lot of Auburn fans, but the Kentucky fans will showed up or excited after seeing nothing but losses this year. You can go back to sitting through the rain delay in the first game or the one am hoping they'll come back out and play football. And for the to make that commitment, forgot that it is a big commitment to go to UK football and a lot of the fans doing or are spending more money than they probably should to make that commitment. And then you get no wins at home. It'll be hard to keep pull up and do that.

00:38:23
Speaker 5: And let's be real, it has become harder and harder and harder to go to UK football games. The tailgating atmosphere is significantly worse than it was ten years ago, and UK made the decision to do that.

00:38:38
Speaker 6: They're changing it again.

00:38:38
Speaker 5: Now and they're changing it again and it's gonna get worse. And that by the way, you are messing that up, UK, you are, you are taking an ap. You have killed a lot of the tailgating atmosphere, which with ten years ago when we stunk, was still pretty good.

00:38:53
Speaker 3: They've killed it, all right.

00:38:54
Speaker 5: That may be a financial decision, but you'll live with the ramifications of that decision. I think the end game atmosphere is better than it was, but it costs more. Fans are asked to pay for on the nil and all that stuff.

00:39:09
Speaker 2: So it has.

00:39:09
Speaker 5: Become harder and harder and harder to be a UK football fan. And yet our fan base keeps showing up, sir, and our fan base keeps being loud, and so you're not gonna hear me criticize UK football fans basketball fans. We should be louder than we are, and hopefully this year it'll be. But for football run, I think our fan base does more than it's fair shit.

00:39:32
Speaker 7: No excuses whatsoever for our fan base. Absolutely, they've showed up every single game and I suspect they'll probably show up for the Louisville game, even though the way the season's gone they'll show up and be loud and proud for.

00:39:41
Speaker 3: The Lord about the Murray game.
