Speaker 2: Org Quarterback out number two Kentucky Schwartz Radio, If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven text machine seven seven two seven seven four five two five four A couple open lines.

00:01:11
Speaker 3: Let's start.

00:01:11
Speaker 2: I want to get to UK basketball, But I do have to acknowledge Ryan that this might have been the most stressful weekend of Reds fandom of my short Reds fandom life. Friday night, Reds go up eight to one. You're like, oh, this is awesome. By the third by the end of the third inning, it's eight to eight. They end up losing ten to eight on Apple TV, which for some reason that just annoys me in and of itself.

00:01:37
Speaker 3: I got freight.

00:01:38
Speaker 2: I mean, here, up play eight to one. You gotta win, you don't. Then Saturday they were up two, up two to one. They bring in our closer. He walks the first two guys. They still almost get out of it. All Ellie has to do he tries to turn a double play. Their slow getting there. All he's got to do is eat it. He throws it, throws it past the first baseman. Score two to two. We end up losing an extra innings because we stink in extra innings.

00:02:05
Speaker 3: And then on the third time, finally we're up one nothing.

00:02:09
Speaker 2: They hit a two run homer in the ninth to go up two to one, I think it's over, and then we come back they actually make an air. We end up winning an extra innings, so we got one of three, which is really all I wanted. But it was too stressful.

00:02:22
Speaker 3: I didn't enjoy it, and it made me mad.

00:02:24
Speaker 4: You know, we had an event at CASM Bar Friday night, and you walked in little pepping your step because Grets were up eight to one.

00:02:29
Speaker 2: We did say they're gonna blow this, even when it was eight to one.

00:02:33
Speaker 4: And just like in thirty seconds, like it was quick. I look up there and it's already eight to eight.

00:02:37
Speaker 5: How does that even happen? I was watching that game too.

00:02:39
Speaker 2: Well.

00:02:40
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, again like.

00:02:44
Speaker 2: I don't watched baseball since I was a little kid, so like I forget about the nerdy intricacies of the game. But like little things end up hitting. So when it was eight to one, they hit a ground ball to Ellie. He had a double play and he tried to flip it with his glove, probably something you do because it's eight to one, and he misses the double play, and then they score five straight runs after that. If they get that double play, they move on. Who knows it's just little things like that annoying me. And we have you know, we had one guy making air so bad they just he left the team, Jake Frayley.

00:03:18
Speaker 3: No, he's not even on the roster anymore.

00:03:22
Speaker 2: When the game was over, they were like, Jake Frayley and the team have creative differences, like he's on a movie, something.

00:03:28
Speaker 5: He's in a band or something creative for breaking up.

00:03:33
Speaker 3: I didn't really.

00:03:34
Speaker 2: He wasn't my favorite anyway, But point being, they're still in.

00:03:37
Speaker 3: It didn't get swept. They didn't get swept. They're only a game and a half back. Now. They've got this.

00:03:43
Speaker 2: Long West Coast trip, which means I can watch as I fall asleep at night.

00:03:47
Speaker 6: And I saw you bickering on Twitter back and forth about your fandom and whe or not you are allowed to complain.

00:03:53
Speaker 2: This dude was like, you've only been a fan two weeks. For two weeks, you don't get to complain. First of all, I've been a fan since like twenty eighteen. I've yet to see them win, so I feel like I get to complay. It's not like I was a bandwagon. They've stunk ever since.

00:04:08
Speaker 5: I've been a past season tickets every year too.

00:04:10
Speaker 4: So season tickets right to bicker.

00:04:12
Speaker 2: Every year I go to like two road trips, I feel like I should get to bicker.

00:04:17
Speaker 7: And tickets automatic gets you the opportunity to bicker as much as you want, especially where you said for a baseball team like that, make it say on the way to the bar, I live like twenty minutes from the bar, and I was listening on the local ESPN broadcast the radio broadcasts, and that entire eight to one lead was gone in the twenty minutes of me.

00:04:37
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:04:38
Speaker 7: But when I got to the bar, I was afraid to walk in because I knew you and all your buddies were in there. I was like, well, do I sit in the car and hear it out, or do I go in and see their misery? But that was quite the collapse.

00:04:47
Speaker 2: It was very It was very annoying, and I spent all this time trying to figure out how do I pull up Apple TV on the bar, and that's not an easy thing to do because we have a new electronics system. And then we finally do it, and in the time between when we tried to turn it on and got there, it was eight d eight.

00:05:04
Speaker 5: You missed all the stuff you didn't want to see.

00:05:07
Speaker 4: Maybe Summer of Ellie will be next year.

00:05:09
Speaker 8: None, straight road. It's not over yet though, way on straight road games, perfect opportunity.

00:05:13
Speaker 3: Shut up, all right, Dodgers, they're not even good? No, are you done?

00:05:18
Speaker 9: All right?

00:05:19
Speaker 3: Who else?

00:05:20
Speaker 5: You just need it to be the fall of Elie. You need to get to fall.

00:05:23
Speaker 2: Postseason baseball, Mike Ellie's got to stop making airs. Okay, So the Kentucky basketball Yellovich has landed the UH.

00:05:34
Speaker 3: I gotta stop saying which country.

00:05:37
Speaker 2: The Croatian UH sensation Yellovich has has landed. He and Pope went to the UH Carlos Alcarez Cincinnati tennis matches, his first thing in town. He posted on Instagram that he was moving into his dorm. So he is here, Drew, I would ask you, it's nice to have him here. What how much is he gonna play like?

00:06:00
Speaker 3: Is he is he a guy?

00:06:02
Speaker 2: Is he gonna give z like minutes which was not a ton in the end? Or is he gonna be a bigger contributor to what do you think he's gonna be?

00:06:09
Speaker 7: He's easily the biggest mystery on the team. I mean, the widest range of what he could be. I mean, if he shows up and he's like Big Z and he's not quite ready for the SEC, it won't shock me. If he's twelve on the bench, or if he shows up and he takes somebody's spot and he's playing twenty five minutes the game of the four, that won't surprised me either. I mean, he played about thirty minutes for a pro team in Serbia, averaging near a double double, so it's you know, he's got quality basketball experience, but we kind of expected Big Z to be a little bit more. I think maybe that's living in the back of my brain that maybe when he shows up he still won't have much, but it's a wide range. It won't shock me if he comes here and he's awesome the way he played so much for that uh Mega Beta Max Reder.

00:06:48
Speaker 2: Have you called a lot of European guys when they get here, especially that play in the college game, it's so different from the way they play over there, just like it's much more. It's it's much we're clogged, our three point line is closer, so it makes it to where big guys. My view is, if you're gonna bring a guy like that here, you gotta let him play on the perimeter because if he tries to go inside, he's just gonna get beat around. That's kind of my view. When he comes to college, I think Pope will let him do that. So I think he's got a chance. I'm I'm I'm considering him a bonus rune. Whatever happens with him is awesome, But I'm not considering him someone we rely on.

00:07:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, because at that spot, the four, I mean, that's where there are some minutes available. So maybe he can take advantage of that, get get you twenty twenty five minutes a game.

00:07:36
Speaker 3: And he's not doing Are you expecting twenty five minutes a game?

00:07:39
Speaker 4: I don't know how. I don't know how good he is. Really, that's a lot.

00:07:42
Speaker 5: That's almost starter minutes.

00:07:43
Speaker 3: I mean, how many guys do we even have last year that played twenty five minutes?

00:07:46
Speaker 7: I mean, I he's the starting four by March. That would not surprise me one bit, do you think so? Really, just like if he's the twelfth Man, that wouldn't surprise me. I think he's got a wide range of what he could be. It's not fair to do the big Z compare since just because he's from Croatia. But if you are doing that, it does help that he's here now and not showing up in October. He did miss about eight weeks of summer workouts, a little bit behind with the team, but he's here in time for the semester and spring or when fall practice starts in September.

00:08:14
Speaker 3: I do think that's a big difference.

00:08:15
Speaker 2: I do think that's a big difference in is he's gonna be here and working out with the team. You gotta remember big Z came in December, you know, and this is he's gonna be have been playing for all.

00:08:24
Speaker 9: I know.

00:08:25
Speaker 6: He's still a little bit behind, but like you said, he is a pro player, so it just can be about learning Pope's offense and learning his teammates, you know, getting to know them. And I think that's something that can be caught up on quickly, so I'm not too worried about it. I think he'll get I don't know. I would say around maybe twelve to fifteen minutes a game. I don't think he's gonna get twenty five, but just a guess.

00:08:44
Speaker 5: I don't I have.

00:08:45
Speaker 3: I honestly have no idea.

00:08:47
Speaker 2: I am excited though, that he's there because I think he gives them another piece of depth, I mean depth, depth of the big man position. I think at times it could have was an issue last year, and I think it could have been an issue this year. This gives you a lot of options and you can match up with people based.

00:09:03
Speaker 4: On what you have.

00:09:04
Speaker 7: And he hadn't played collegeball, be new to that, but he's twenty one years old, has played a lot of basketball, that's true.

00:09:11
Speaker 8: He is experienced.

00:09:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Little League World Series is in what seems like week seven of it going on.

00:09:18
Speaker 3: I feel like Little League.

00:09:19
Speaker 2: I don't know how this series it never seems to end. There are some accusations out there that some of the other teams have guys that could be a lot older.

00:09:29
Speaker 3: There's a pitcher is it Japan.

00:09:32
Speaker 2: There's a pitcher who throws it like seventy eight or something, which would equate to like one oh.

00:09:37
Speaker 6: Five yeah, which is like what what's their mound? So I don't know, but they like forty five feet maybe?

00:09:43
Speaker 2: But I saw the article was like if he was a major league pitcher at the Major League thing and did that, it would be like one hundred and five mile an hour fastball coming at these kids like a Chapman.

00:09:54
Speaker 5: Yeah, fastball.

00:09:55
Speaker 6: That's crazy that I feel like there's this controversy almost every year, like we're somebody doesn't have a birth certificate or whatever it may be.

00:10:02
Speaker 5: But that's crazy that they're throwing that hard at that age.

00:10:05
Speaker 3: You enjoyed the Little League World Series even though you are banned. I love it.

00:10:10
Speaker 4: You know they were talking about this picture, you remember, the destroy Danny Almonte I think was his name, where they proved he was fourteen years old when they finally figured how old he was.

00:10:18
Speaker 2: So, I don't know if you know this, but I mentioned you on ESPN yesterday as being banned from the Little League World Series.

00:10:24
Speaker 4: Oh so we had a Homeland Security called me yesterday.

00:10:28
Speaker 2: We were on we had Eduardo Perez, who's ESPN's announcer. He was doing the Little League. He's doing the litt League World Series, and I said, hey, can you do it? I've grown to like him. We have him on almost every week. And I was like, can you help my friend Ryan Lemon get unbanned from the Little League World Series?

00:10:44
Speaker 3: And he said he was going to he was going to look into it for you.

00:10:47
Speaker 4: So I think the band was coming to your credit. You saved me.

00:10:51
Speaker 3: You kind of got Oh you're banned.

00:10:53
Speaker 5: I thought we were going to prison.

00:10:54
Speaker 2: They specifically, the Department of Homeland Security specifically said do not let your friend show up at the and I you know, I was worried about it then. Now I'm even even more worried about it. Whether I think you uh, I think you should stay away.

00:11:10
Speaker 4: You went to bat for me. You went to bat for me that day. But when I say, every time I heard it on, I think about that, Hey, I got to run the bases in that stadium right there.

00:11:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, I did that. You didn't get to do it. You just did it. I just did it.

00:11:20
Speaker 4: They didn't supposed to be right behind me, nowhere to be found.

00:11:24
Speaker 2: I just I do want to take a second, though and think about what happened right there, because that is kind of crazy. Ryan Lemon, not me. Ryan Lemon jumped the fence and ran the bases at the Lily League World Series. And then the next day I who didn't run the Little League World Series? And you have no blood relation to rely Ryan, I'm not his emergency contact.

00:11:50
Speaker 3: The Department of Homeland Security called me.

00:11:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you're guilty by association.

00:11:56
Speaker 2: No they called me and said, we hear your friend did this, and I wanted to be like, why don't you call my friend?

00:12:06
Speaker 3: But that's part of what skin. Why do they have my number?

00:12:10
Speaker 5: How did they get your number?

00:12:12
Speaker 3: And they don't have Ryan living stupid android number.

00:12:16
Speaker 8: Contact.

00:12:17
Speaker 7: I could definitely see Ryan putting you down as his emergency contact.

00:12:20
Speaker 2: And then they were like, Okay, we need to know blah blah blah, And I said and look when it popped up, it's said.

00:12:27
Speaker 3: It didn't say Department Home, it said US Government. It had the name. I even googled to make sure the number, like so I wasn't getting pranked, and it was. It was the number.

00:12:37
Speaker 4: You were so funny when you were talking to you, like you really want to take away the moment, this balding old fat man, you want.

00:12:44
Speaker 3: To take it.

00:12:45
Speaker 4: He was just wanting to run the base and you want to take this from this balding old fat man.

00:12:48
Speaker 3: I don't know what I had to throw in.

00:12:50
Speaker 4: What do you look like?

00:12:50
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, trying to get maybe, But.

00:12:53
Speaker 2: I did say I was like, this is his dream. Do you want his dream to be? We have to be cause they wanted us to go to the police station.

00:13:00
Speaker 5: We joke about it, but it was serious. For about talking to me like I were.

00:13:04
Speaker 3: Your was your lager, asking if he would turn himself in for for rest.

00:13:09
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you, uncle matt You saved me that day because.

00:13:12
Speaker 2: We if you remember we were in college, we were at Penn State. Correct to drive back to Williamsport. Turn him over like Luigi after he murdered the insurance guy.

00:13:23
Speaker 4: What were they gonna do with him? And keep in mind that was the same day you painted my balt spot black.

00:13:27
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, you would have walked in there, okay when that when they put the cups on you, they would see that spray paint on your balt spot.

00:13:35
Speaker 2: They would have thought you he was trying to run drew its like, trying to make himself look at disguise myself.

00:13:40
Speaker 8: They say it's the best day in Ryan living history.

00:13:42
Speaker 3: I think it is.

00:13:44
Speaker 4: That was a top.

00:13:44
Speaker 3: That was a top day eight five eighty seven. Who's next?

00:13:49
Speaker 4: Gork is up next?

00:13:51
Speaker 5: Gork?

00:13:51
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Gork.

00:13:54
Speaker 10: Yes, Matthew Jones, We've got Wolfschlager Farmer, We've got Jagger, we got uh bronze.

00:14:03
Speaker 3: But you could have you could have looked all this up man like there's internet.

00:14:08
Speaker 4: I mean.

00:14:10
Speaker 2: The capital of Armenia. That doesn't mean you actually know it. It's you can just look on the internet.

00:14:15
Speaker 10: Well that's that's true. I could click on the internet. But I also can tell you where they transferred from and and how big they.

00:14:25
Speaker 4: Are, what what.

00:14:28
Speaker 2: By the way, all that is also available on the internet.

00:14:32
Speaker 11: I agree.

00:14:33
Speaker 10: But also you you said no one is calling in and giving you the starters, So I just gave you the starting o line.

00:14:42
Speaker 2: You know, I mean, I understand I could have looked it up to did you Did you honestly know the starting offensive line.

00:14:50
Speaker 3: Before you just looked it up?

00:14:51
Speaker 11: Yes?

00:14:53
Speaker 10: Absolutely?

00:14:54
Speaker 3: Who are you related to?

00:14:56
Speaker 10: But I am related to no one. I am just a huge fan and former offensive line than myself.

00:15:04
Speaker 2: There you go, Okay, I understand well speaking to a former offensive lineman, I appreciate the call. Luke Fortner was traded last night from Jacksonville to New Orleans. He got beat out for the center job in Jacksonville and so he's going to New Orleans where he will be on the offensive line with Land and Young. So two Kentucky guys gonna be with the Saints, which might be the worst team in football, but nevertheless, still exciting.

00:15:29
Speaker 4: Two of the big Blue Wall that kind of sent you know, made a name for themselves now both battling for starting jobs be on the same line of the Saints. I think that's pretty cool.

00:15:36
Speaker 7: Protecting you a little of a quarterback. I'm glad that they're that's right. Yeah, I'm glad they're pairing up. But my first thought was, what the hell Liam Cohen. I thought Fortner was gonna be safe when Cohen got there.

00:15:45
Speaker 2: So that's a really interesting point. If you're Luke Fortner, your offensive coordinator traded you.

00:15:51
Speaker 8: I thought when Cohen got that job, that would have been great news for him.

00:15:55
Speaker 2: But it's so a bad sign when you're like, by the way, I love Luke Fortner. Uh, some people don't know this. I think I've said this on the air. Have I talked about the UK wineman. I guess not by those faces. Well, so, when Max would hang out with the UK lineman during that Big Blue Wall time and they one time I walked in their house and uh, they were all drinking wine, and I was like, this doesn't give me a lot of confidence for the future that our offensive line is all drinking wine and one of them I won't say which one said, no, it's the UK Wineman and I was like, that still help.

00:16:40
Speaker 5: You needed to be a bourbon or like bush Light or something.

00:16:43
Speaker 3: Just some about your line. There's just some about your whole offensive line.

00:16:46
Speaker 2: Sipping a cabernet that did not make me think, but they were good, and Luke Fortner was, yeah, that's right, Just in time for Labor Day.

00:17:48
Speaker 5: There, he's a speculations.

00:17:49
Speaker 4: You made a big number.

00:17:51
Speaker 3: He was born in nineteen sixty six.

00:17:54
Speaker 2: Yes, so I thought it would be interesting to look back at how old he is by looking back at what happened in nineteen sixty.

00:18:01
Speaker 4: So this's be fun, all right.

00:18:02
Speaker 2: So first of all, just to give you a sense of hality, as the President was Lyndon Baines Johnson about that.

00:18:12
Speaker 4: Year, Good TV, Good show, right there.

00:18:15
Speaker 3: You remember the old Star Trek, Yeah, it also debuted that year.

00:18:20
Speaker 4: Great stuff.

00:18:21
Speaker 2: You know how people talk about Miranda rights where you have to you have a right to remain silent, blah blah blah. In nineteen sixty six, right when he was born, they didn't even exist. Oh at that point, Drew, you didn't even have a right to.

00:18:38
Speaker 3: Remain main silent.

00:18:39
Speaker 8: He changed laws.

00:18:40
Speaker 2: Ryan was so old that they actually gave him a right to remain silent that he doesn't use.

00:18:47
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. Bush Stadium opened in Saint Louis.

00:18:51
Speaker 4: Wow, I went there a lot when I was a kid, as not when I was the baby.

00:18:56
Speaker 2: The United States vastly increased for the first time their military presence in Vietnam. So you brought Bush Stadium in Vietnam War to America.

00:19:07
Speaker 4: Sounds like a great year. We're talking about nineteen sixty six.

00:19:09
Speaker 3: So those are just a few of the things.

00:19:11
Speaker 2: Do you know who won the national championship in basketball in nineteen sixty six? Uh?

00:19:18
Speaker 4: Texas. They beat the meat the Kentucky team, Texas, San Antonio. Keep going Texas Western.

00:19:29
Speaker 5: There you go, Texas.

00:19:30
Speaker 4: Thats what they were called back then.

00:19:32
Speaker 3: Do you know what movie won Best Movie at the Oscars?

00:19:39
Speaker 4: Like Bunny and Clyde. I don't know the Sound of Music, geez wow, I thought that came out like in the forties.

00:19:49
Speaker 3: So you are the same age, Ryan Lemon as the sound of Music?

00:19:53
Speaker 4: Well, you know all the superstars are born in sixty six, Darius Rutger, Janet Jackson, Halle Berry.

00:20:00
Speaker 3: Go on, are you just making that up?

00:20:01
Speaker 9: No?

00:20:02
Speaker 4: We're all all beautiful people were born in nineteen sixty six.

00:20:06
Speaker 3: I'm sure that's exactly right. Who's next? Tim is up next?

00:20:10
Speaker 4: Tim?

Speaker 9: Yeah, I was colling. I was gonna get your guys input on this. Uh, what is Kentucky's Football's first game gonna have to look like to make the fans that.

00:20:33
Speaker 3: Are kind of on the board the first hour? Now?

00:20:38
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I'm not I'm not missed out on some of it. What's it gonna take to get the fans to be like, oh wow, we really want to watch this team? What's that first game is gonna have to look like?

00:20:47
Speaker 2: I might have to tell you and I love you because I don't want to redo the conversation. I appreciate the call. Just go back on podcasts and listen to the first hour. For me, it's just you gotta win. But we discussed that in pretty in depth than the hour one, so you can you can hear that conversation. Then who's up next? Fuzzy is up there, Fuzzy? Go ahead, Fuzzy.

00:21:07
Speaker 11: Hey, I got a question for you in a quick statement, if I can question me and my sister on our way of Boston, Massachusetts to go to a concert.

00:21:15
Speaker 10: Was curious.

00:21:15
Speaker 11: You guys have had any recommendations on some good food up there.

00:21:19
Speaker 3: Well, what do you think about Boston?

00:21:21
Speaker 4: You've been I was there for like an hour.

00:21:23
Speaker 5: Oh that's that's your house, right.

00:21:25
Speaker 2: That's when your house burned down. So you just got to Boston, had to turn right around and fly right back.

00:21:31
Speaker 4: I saw nothing but the the concession line and the bok. We were at Fenley Ay Park.

00:21:37
Speaker 5: I would like to know what concert he's going to.

00:21:40
Speaker 11: I'm going to the Joe Perry Projects cool.

00:21:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, from Aeronsmith.

00:21:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd like I would say to you, if you're in Boston, eat seafood.

00:21:49
Speaker 2: Obviously, people will tell you clam chowder, but just in general, seafood's fresh there. They get all the stuff from Maine and the Little Lobster and all that. So I would say, if you're gonna go to Boston, you want to eat something local.

00:22:01
Speaker 3: Do seafood.

00:22:03
Speaker 11: Awesome crab cakes it is.

00:22:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate that they're good too. Yeah.

00:22:08
Speaker 11: Well, at my statement actually is for Ryan. I was gonna say, you're not a short fed, bald white guy. You're built just like me. We are now built like Triple H. Happy birthday, Ryan, Yeah, I thought that was me.

00:22:20
Speaker 2: By the way, I appreciate the cause for you. We didn't see they caught the wrestler Triple H. He was on a boat with his family and they caught him with his shirt off, and everybody's been making fun of him for being fat Shitton. I didn't think that was very nice. First of all, he's he's sixty years old. I thought for sixty he actually looked good. But secondly, you know, give him a break. What do they want him to look at?

00:22:41
Speaker 5: Some medical issue too? With his heart.

00:22:43
Speaker 6: I don't know if he had a heart attack or had a stint, but it whatever it is. But he's been going through some medical issues too.

00:22:48
Speaker 3: So I didn't even think he looked that bad.

00:22:49
Speaker 6: I mean, most people his age don't even look close to being as good as It's like.

00:22:54
Speaker 2: When everybody criticizes Patrick Mahomes for having like he's got a better body than those people.

00:23:00
Speaker 8: Drew right, I would trade bodies of Triple H right now.

00:23:05
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:23:05
Speaker 6: I mean, he doesn't look like he's twenty five and on steroids anymore, but still not that bad.

00:23:09
Speaker 3: Not a dad bod No, it's a father and he was also he was sitting down.

00:23:14
Speaker 2: He was sitting down, and so his tomach you know, if you sit there with your leg, his toomach is tummy.

00:23:19
Speaker 3: He's all he's on vacation.

00:23:21
Speaker 8: He's probably stun.

00:23:21
Speaker 3: It's like I say to Mario, angles are key.

00:23:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right.

00:23:25
Speaker 3: You gotta make sure you get the right angles. We'll take a break, be right back. It's Kentucky Sports Radio.

00:24:22
Speaker 2: Game is Yeah, I think we're doing it. Yeah, I think we're doing it. Before that basketball, I think I don't know, but yeah, that was what that's that's our oldest remote is the one at first one? Is it the one at beer Know's in Southern Indiana? All right, Shannon a couple of media pieces of news. Rich Eisen will host Sports Center tonight for the first time in twenty years.

00:24:44
Speaker 3: He's coming back to ESPN.

00:24:45
Speaker 4: Nice.

00:24:46
Speaker 2: He's doing ESPN Radio from twelve to three every day, which I'm excited about because anything that helps ESPN Radio since I'm on there, I'm happy about. But he will be hosting from twelve to three every day starting in September.

00:24:58
Speaker 3: But tonight he will as Art Center. That's kind of coolies you like, Rich Eyes.

00:25:03
Speaker 6: The older I get, the more nostalgic I get me too, So I kind of like when they bring back somebody from the past.

00:25:08
Speaker 5: I will be watching just for that very reason.

00:25:10
Speaker 2: I'm yeah, I'm really I've always liked him, and I think he did a great job.

00:25:16
Speaker 3: I think he'll be good on the radio. That could be cool to see him on Sports Center. Yeah, me too.

00:25:20
Speaker 7: Honestly, when the NFL and ESPN had their merge, one of my first thoughts was Rich Eyes and can do ESPN stuff again, because that's the ESPN I grew up on. Other than you and Myron. It's been downhill pretty bad lately, and I'm glad they're bringing him back.

00:25:34
Speaker 6: I feel like they could get Craig Kilbourne back maybe, you know, like what's he doing these days?

00:25:38
Speaker 5: Got a ton of money now, but you know those were the good days. Yeah, in the nineties.

00:25:43
Speaker 2: I mean when you had when you I mean, if you go through the list of Keith Olberman, yeah, Dan Patrick, Rich Eyes, and Craig Kilbourne, uh, Ken Ken, yeah, Cod, Like all those guys were were great. Who is your favorite? Like, who do you think was the best? I mean, to me, it's Keith Oberman and Dan Patrick. I know people look at Keith Oberman differently now because of politics, but when on that show, they were the best.

00:26:10
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:26:10
Speaker 6: I think Kilbourn for me was my favorite, but ober was funny too, though. I mean, regardless of what you think about him. Now Steve Levy, don't forget about Steve Levy.

00:26:19
Speaker 3: Still on there and then not speaking of Oberman.

00:26:23
Speaker 2: This morning they announced the News network that I'm sure all of our listeners love what used to be called MSNBC. They changed the name, so I guess MSNBC and NBC are separating. So to do that, they wanted to drop the NBC. So, I mean, that's tough. They gotta figure out what to call themselves. Yeah, So I don't know what would have been better. I don't think this is great. They're called MS now all right now. They had to figure out, Okay, if we're gonna call it MS now, what are we gonna say it is? Yeah, because they have to have because you know, do you remember why it's called MSNBC. Does anybody?

00:26:59
Speaker 9: No?

00:27:00
Speaker 3: No, do anybody know what the MS was?

00:27:03
Speaker 2: Microsoft MBS like National Broadcasting Company.

00:27:07
Speaker 3: So Microsoft doesn't known it anymore. So they're out.

00:27:10
Speaker 2: They're keeping the MSS but the now is gonna be Ryan News Opinion World.

00:27:17
Speaker 3: Whoa wow, here's what I think about it, the news and Opinion. I think that was smart.

00:27:25
Speaker 2: They gotta think of something better for w than World. So then it's Microsoft the Microsoft anymore. So I don't even know it's a mess now though, right, but I guess.

00:27:35
Speaker 3: They just didn't want to change the MSS. But Microsoft's not involved anymore.

00:27:38
Speaker 8: So, Yeah, it sounds like they've really got things figured out over it.

00:27:43
Speaker 4: You know, they spill. They spent a million dollars to come up with that, you know, millions of million. Dog come with a new name. What would you have called it? Let's get it, Let's get.

00:27:52
Speaker 2: Your three news stations are Fox News, CNN and Let's get it.

00:27:55
Speaker 4: Let's get it.

00:27:56
Speaker 5: I'm watching Let's get it.

00:27:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's actually be honest. Let's get it. Sounds exciting. Who's next?

00:28:01
Speaker 4: Caleb is next? Caleb?

00:28:03
Speaker 3: Go ahead, let's get it, Caleb.

00:28:06
Speaker 12: Hey, good afternoon, guys, Happy golf scramble day. I just wanted to say I like my politicians to be solution oriented. And with Lexington being the second or third most fatal per capita city for driving, I think Ryan Lemon's got a strong bid for mayor and he certainly got my vote. And if you're willing to put a yard sign up, you're willing to pay for my vote.

00:28:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ran, you've talked over the years. I appreciate the call about running for mayor as a joke.

00:28:34
Speaker 3: But would you consider doing it? I mean, I think you'd be bad at it, but would you still consider doing it?

00:28:39
Speaker 5: Not getting any younger?

00:28:41
Speaker 4: You know, we do kind of joke about it, but I would one hundred percent be serious about it, like the city council person. To start with, you know when I retire, you do that. Well, I'm still enjoyed life.

00:28:52
Speaker 2: Nothing's stopping you. You only work from ten to twelve, So why don't you on this show? I mean, you do other things, but why don't you Why don't you run for city council? I will say this, I give you a hard time. I think you would be a really good city council person because one thing I could definitely say about you is you would like make the decision you thought was best. Like you know, you can only be bought off by advertised you wouldn't be bought out by interest groups.

00:29:21
Speaker 3: I could totally see you. And plus you're a man of the community.

00:29:25
Speaker 4: I mean, what else am I gonna do it I retire, why not do something like that? Try to help your community?

00:29:29
Speaker 2: Speaking of what else are you gonna do people need to understand now? He is this his birthday. This is a sad day for Ryan. He's now an empty nester because his son got accepted into housing for UK, which he didn't think was gonna happen. So that means starting Wednesday, he will not be on the show Wednesday because he's moving his son in.

00:29:49
Speaker 3: You will for the first time since.

00:29:51
Speaker 4: You were how old, first time in twenty seven years.

00:29:54
Speaker 2: For the first time in twenty seven years, You're gonna be living completely alone.

00:30:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, the first time in twenty seven years a kid has not been in my house. And this one hits me, man, this one really shook me yesterday when he realized he got housing because it's just been me and him for the last like almost four years. Now, all of a sudden he's gonna leave. And then, so are you sad about that?

00:30:13
Speaker 3: Said?

00:30:13
Speaker 4: If I keep talking about I'm gonna cry. I mean it really keep going in. Yeah, let's talk about it.

00:30:18
Speaker 3: Do you like do you think I mean, do you think you'll get lonely?

00:30:24
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I mean I got three dogs. It's gonna be me and the three dogs there at the house.

00:30:29
Speaker 5: So you're not entirely empty nester. You other girl could always move in with it.

00:30:32
Speaker 3: But I mean I live by myself. First of all. You should do that.

00:30:37
Speaker 2: I live by myself. Drew doesn't anymore, but did for a long time. Shinning you look at it.

00:30:43
Speaker 4: What do you do when you're home by yourself? Well, how do you entertain yourself? Well, I mean you don' watch Netflix.

00:30:50
Speaker 2: I mean when you say entertain yourself, like like you don't have to just constantly have stimulus in your face.

00:30:55
Speaker 4: You can like read a book.

00:30:57
Speaker 2: You can read, you can watch television, you can do work, you can There's a lot of stuff.

00:31:02
Speaker 3: And it's not like you won't have friends.

00:31:05
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know, man, This this one's really kind of shook me up.

00:31:08
Speaker 3: You think you'll have a hard time just being by this? Do you not like to be alone?

00:31:12
Speaker 9: No?

00:31:13
Speaker 4: No, not at all.

00:31:14
Speaker 3: Is that as soon as you get single, you're not single anymore.

00:31:17
Speaker 4: I think I'll probably spend a lot of time in Georgetown, but I gotta come back and take let my dogs in and out.

00:31:22
Speaker 3: But that's certainly a reason to keep your keep your very expensive house.

00:31:28
Speaker 5: You can call your equity back, Yeah, call your equity back.

00:31:32
Speaker 3: Certainly a reason to keep your house is so you can come let your dogs in and.

00:31:36
Speaker 8: Out your dog's house.

00:31:37
Speaker 4: I don't know what's gonna happen.

00:31:38
Speaker 3: Man, how do you think he's gonna handle it? I think he I think this is gonna be.

00:31:42
Speaker 4: Hard for you.

00:31:42
Speaker 3: I genuinely do.

00:31:43
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you know, there could be a night where Josiah could look out his dorm room window and Ryan just parked on the curb staring up, waiting for a phone call to come in.

00:31:55
Speaker 3: Do you now?

00:31:55
Speaker 2: You know you can't hover in his lit like he is in college as a freshman. You've got to let him. You've got to let him be, you know that, right.

00:32:05
Speaker 4: Which is like it's gonna be hard because like every day after the show I call him and weasually have lunch together.

00:32:10
Speaker 3: But you can't do that.

00:32:11
Speaker 4: I can't do that.

00:32:12
Speaker 5: Now, You've got to let him be, Like he needs to call Dante, you have lunch with you.

00:32:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, you and Dante just retired.

00:32:19
Speaker 4: I can do that with here.

00:32:20
Speaker 5: You go go to ks bar, go there.

00:32:22
Speaker 7: At the same time, he might call you with something where you have to say, you're on your own figure that one out, Like you also have to give up some of that responsibility.

00:32:29
Speaker 8: So you can be a butterfly.

00:32:30
Speaker 3: You've got to let him be a man. You you do, I mean you, it's out of love.

00:32:36
Speaker 2: But you do a lot of things for your kids that I think you're gonna have to start letting them handle on their own.

00:32:42
Speaker 4: You're one hundred right, and I know that's coming. But he's he's just across town. I mean, he's just right there. Why can't I go and say, man, let's go to Chick fil a for lunch.

00:32:49
Speaker 3: Because he's in college. He needs to live his own life lunch occasionally you don't have.

00:32:58
Speaker 4: Something else, I need to tell you. His girlfriend's dorm is right next door. Oh, right next door?

00:34:21
Speaker 4: I think it's I lean on him so much as a crutch. You know, he and I went through a well he's a child, but I leaned on him. He kind of helped me through a lot of stuff, you know, on your dogs.

00:34:33
Speaker 3: But he's not going to war.

00:34:35
Speaker 8: I mean, I still talk to him. You every night.

00:34:39
Speaker 4: You don't need to see the Kroger field on Saturday. Hey, Josiah, what's up? Remember me? I'm your dad?

00:34:43
Speaker 5: What you come see me?

00:35:04
Speaker 4: Water Back.

00:35:04
Speaker 2: It is Kentucky Sports Radio. If I'm nine two eight, twenty two eighty seven.

00:35:09
Speaker 9: Uh.

00:35:09
Speaker 2: People are riding in Drew to suggest what Ryan should do now that he's an empty nest like this, okay. One person says you should coach youth baseball. I think you'd be good at that.

00:35:18
Speaker 4: Yeah. I did it. I did it when my boys were young.

00:35:20
Speaker 2: Can you do it and not scream at the children because you did one time? Like, didn't you have a didn't you hit a girl in the head or something with a bat?

00:35:27
Speaker 4: Yeah? A ball. I threw a ball against the fence and it skimmed.

00:35:29
Speaker 3: He wasn't intentional, Mayam. It was like accidental. He didn't do it?

00:35:33
Speaker 8: Can you?

00:35:34
Speaker 3: But you can you do it without getting kicked out of games and stuff.

00:35:36
Speaker 4: I think it'd have to be like maybe the t ball level, keep the keep the temperament down.

00:35:42
Speaker 8: At least he knows his limits.

00:35:43
Speaker 3: I like this one.

00:35:44
Speaker 2: This is my Draft Kings tweet today. I'm gonna do it like this. Go you go to Draft Kings. Bet five dollars, get two hundred dollars in bonus bets. Uh DraftKings. There are games all night. I think the Reds play the Angels tonight.

00:35:55
Speaker 7: We got h Bing's going Bengals Commander Bengals commanders as well.

00:36:00
Speaker 4: Going on.

00:36:00
Speaker 2: You can learn more at Draft Kings. Use the promo code KSR DraftKings. The Crown is yours. This person says Ryan's only fifty nine. He's still got a good twenty years before he's old enough to be in the government.

00:36:13
Speaker 4: I like that.

00:36:14
Speaker 3: That's a good joke. Actually people are too old in the government.

00:36:17
Speaker 4: So well, as long as you'll keep me around, I'm gonna ride your coattails as far as I can.

00:36:23
Speaker 2: All Right, First of all, I don't need that pressure. Josiah, you gonna support my family, dammit, you shut up eight five nine, twenty two eighty seven. One thing before we got before I go to the phone, Shannon, I you we all know you wear Sketchers.

00:36:42
Speaker 5: I did it one time I moved on.

00:36:44
Speaker 2: Sketchers has announced they are going to put a shoe for children where they will put an air tag in the shoe so that the parent will always know that the two women here are both cli clapping, so that the parent will always know where the child is via air tag. It will cost I think it's like two hundred and seventy five dollars. So you gotta want this. I don't know why you can't just buy shoes and then put an air tag in it. Yea, but for two hundred and seventy to five dollars they'll make it together.

00:37:15
Speaker 3: Do you like this? Yesterday?

00:37:17
Speaker 6: They would have helped you on Saturday night at Bobo's Tea when those kids were running around.

00:37:21
Speaker 5: I know where they were, I know, but their parents didn't know where they were. Apparently. Yeah, I think it's a good thing.

00:37:26
Speaker 6: And tell somebody stoles your shoes, but then you can find out who's stole your shoes, right, yeah.

00:37:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, can I just okay, So I don't care, I don't have kids. If you want to put you know, if you want to put metal detectors in your shoes or.

00:37:41
Speaker 3: Whatever, you can do what ever you want.

00:37:43
Speaker 2: But there is a part of me it's like we could just continue to like submit all of our information into the cloud. So you are I will note you are essentially giving your child's location to a private company that could be hacked. Right, So you're giving your child's location to a private company that in theory someone could hack it and they'd know where all the kids were, and so stuff like that worries me. Now is the trade off of your parents being able to find you if you got I mean that's yeah, that's a trade off. But I would also know now they'll just make it to wear when people kidding at kids, they'll just throw their shoes into a lot or something. So I don't know, I just we continue like I never turned my location on anyway, Yeah, because I just I don't know, do we want to keep down that path through?

00:38:36
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:38:36
Speaker 8: I just don't think you should buy your kids sketchers start there. But also it does seem they're they're ripping you off.

00:38:43
Speaker 7: If I could just get an air tag for thirty dollars and throw it on a necklace or a backpack, why do I need sketchers to be my middle man here?

00:38:50
Speaker 2: And because conceivably they could lose a backpack, but they'll always have their shoes on.

00:38:55
Speaker 8: Kids probably loose shoes a lot. I don't have a kid, but I feel like they lose their shoes.

00:38:58
Speaker 5: Now you know where the shoe is, right, we got a starting point.

00:39:01
Speaker 8: I'm pro tagging your kids. I'm not pro Sketcher's tags.

00:39:05
Speaker 5: Shoes and put a collar around their neck.

00:39:08
Speaker 7: Like I got one in my backpack right now. It says it's in my car. You just put it somewhere. But I don't think you need to show you.

00:39:14
Speaker 4: I've lost my kid a couple of times over the years, and I think air tax would have been helpful.

00:39:20
Speaker 3: What do you mean you've lost a couple of times?

00:39:22
Speaker 4: There was one time at the mall in Nashville. All a sudden, Gavin just disappeared and I couldn't find you. We were ran and running around the hallway. But imagine you had to track my kid app I had on your phone. There you go, well, here's my question, Matthew, why can't we do it for old people? I would wear sketchers with air tags. I get lost.

00:39:41
Speaker 5: Are you lost?

00:39:42
Speaker 4: Well, it's coming. I'm sure I just reached fifty nine years old.

00:39:46
Speaker 3: First of all, you could do it.

00:39:47
Speaker 2: You could just turn on your location on your phone and share it with me, Ryan or me, Drew and Shannon.

00:39:52
Speaker 3: We'll know where you are. I don't.

00:39:55
Speaker 4: I don't know how to do that.

00:39:58
Speaker 8: Trying to get the group text to work.

00:40:00
Speaker 3: That's true, he can't even do that. I'm just I get the benefit.

00:40:04
Speaker 2: I understand that it would give comfort to people to know they can see where their kid is. But I also don't think we think about the more we turn our lives over, the more somebody, a nefarious actor could hack in and find where all these children are.

00:40:20
Speaker 3: That's that's nerve wracking stuff to some extent.

00:40:23
Speaker 6: Shannon, Yeah, but I feel like that's kind of the direction we're going in, regardless if we like it or not.

00:40:30
Speaker 2: And last thing I'll say about it, whether we we all have complaints about the government, me more now than probably ever.

00:40:38
Speaker 3: With that said, at least with the government, you have rights. You can vote people out.

00:40:43
Speaker 2: We give our information to private companies, we have no control over them whatsoever. Like they can like, we have no way of stopping what private companies do. So as much as we hate the government, at least with the government there's some checks, but private companies there's no checks soever.

00:41:00
Speaker 3: And so I don't know.

00:41:02
Speaker 2: I just that stuff kind of worries me, and I'll leave it at that. Who's next, Jerry is up next? Jerry, Go ahead, Jerry.

00:41:11
Speaker 3: Hey Man.

00:41:11
Speaker 13: First off, I want to tell Ryan, nineteen sixty six was a great year. A lot of great people were born in sixty six. Hell yeah, it was anyway. But as the Toledo game, I think if they beat Toledo by more than fourteen, you can feel better about the rest of the year. But the worry with this Toledo game, to me, the biggest worry is we're starting eleven guys on offense and haven't played together before in a game, and Toledo's got all their people back and they're building this up. If they win this game, they think they can run the rest of their games and maybe be the non Power five team in the playoff.

00:41:43
Speaker 2: You're exactly what I mean, You're exactly right. Toledo looks at this. I appreciate the call. Toledo looks at this and says, if we beat Kentucky, we got a shot to make the playoff. That's how they look at it. They're not crazy if that happens. But Drew, they're not gonna beat us. I do think we're gonna take care.

00:42:01
Speaker 7: But if you're in their shoes and they have a lot of people back from last year, they had an sec game last year. They went down to Startville and won by double digits. So this isn't a game that they're gonna be afraid of while they're having these playoff dreams.

00:42:11
Speaker 3: Why did we schedule this game?

00:42:13
Speaker 2: But I agree though, I mean, if we're gonna play at the alternate sp if we're gonna play Pansys, can we play like real Pansys.

00:42:20
Speaker 4: Like Eastern Michigan should have been first. Yeah, you know, Chip Training is gonna score touchdown, probably in the first quarter. He will score a touchdown.

00:42:28
Speaker 3: Thank you all very much for coming out.

00:42:29
Speaker 2: Thanks to Stockton Mortgage, Corn Brand, hamp Boomer Express minus one ninety six and on the Rocks Cocktails and all of our sponsors that will be out on the holes, We'll see you guys tomorrow back in Lexington. This has been Kentucky Sports Radio.
