00:01:17
Speaker 5: I got some uh some comments here.

00:01:19
Speaker 4: First of all, one person writes, Matt, I'm in Ashland and may or may not be part of the Ashland group you're talking about. It does have its wild moments, but it's also a gathering place to watch games.

00:01:33
Speaker 2: Okay, well what kind of games they watching?

00:01:36
Speaker 4: I think he meant sporting events. Okay, I don't think he.

00:01:40
Speaker 5: Still more even more people with cities.

00:01:44
Speaker 4: You know, we talked about this back in the Norton Commons Upside Down Pineapple Days. A lot of a lot more going on in this state than I realized when I was growing up.

00:01:54
Speaker 5: People like, oh, Kentucky's boring.

00:01:57
Speaker 4: I don't know. I think there's a lot more happening. You just just depends on who you know.

00:02:01
Speaker 3: Somebody told me Hopkins County's got I didn't think we were even close to having any societies, even Hopkins County's got one.

00:02:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just think, uh, you know, just just if you just knew where Ryan was.

00:02:11
Speaker 5: You'd have a you'd have a good time.

00:02:12
Speaker 4: Do you think any of these societies they'll let us come or are we out just for having brought this up?

00:02:18
Speaker 2: I think if you're an invited guest, I.

00:02:20
Speaker 4: Know, but I get that. I understood that part. But do you think you would could get us invited.

00:02:26
Speaker 2: To one of them?

00:02:27
Speaker 5: To one of them?

00:02:28
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to know about the other one?

00:02:29
Speaker 3: We can.

00:02:30
Speaker 5: Can we get invited the other one?

00:02:31
Speaker 2: It's kind of more exclusive.

00:02:35
Speaker 4: I'm not so I'm not good enough for the more exclusive one, not yet does to get to get more in I think you gotta know the right people. Why don't you introduce me?

00:02:49
Speaker 2: I know you, well, I'm not one of the right people. I know a person interesting.

00:02:54
Speaker 4: Okay, So so you're saying I don't know so manute, you're saying this place in Lexington has people that I don't know, Like, I don't know anyone there.

00:03:01
Speaker 2: I'm sure they know you and they know the show. But you got to know him, know.

00:03:05
Speaker 4: Them level that I don't want to know him. Maybe there's a level of knowing them that I'm not interested in knowing them.

00:03:13
Speaker 3: How well are you getting to know these people in the basements.

00:03:16
Speaker 2: Right, Well, sounds like the Ashland Party is the party that they do that kind of stuff.

00:03:19
Speaker 5: I don't know, sounds like that one maybe uh as well?

00:03:22
Speaker 4: All right, by the way, for the one quick note before we go to football tonight, I believe for the first time ever, Am I right?

00:03:30
Speaker 5: Is this the first time ever you've done this?

00:03:32
Speaker 3: What are you talking about?

00:03:33
Speaker 6: Oh?

00:03:34
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, for the.

00:03:35
Speaker 5: First time ever.

00:03:36
Speaker 4: Drew is hosting a postgame show. Yeah, he's never done that, and I wanted to give Drew a chance here with this pregame show, kind of get him, uh to be able to do it. Get some shots up, So tonight he'll do his rapid reaction and he's gonna do the postgame show.

00:03:52
Speaker 5: So call in support, my man, Drew, are you excited?

00:03:54
Speaker 4: This is not only your first postgame show, this is probably the first show you've kind of hosted on your own that I think.

00:04:02
Speaker 3: Can think a lot this summer media day I had to do without U Ryan this summer. Oh, but first postgame show for sure. Uh. You know, I don't get to hear a lot of the postgame shows because I'm at the stuff. So I'm interested, Like I'm not gonna know a lot of the familiar callers, So I hope a lot of people will that usually call in still call in for me get to know them a little more because you do get different callings. So you get in the morning.

00:04:21
Speaker 4: First segment, you just do like a little monologue on what you thought about the game, and then I say, just open up the floodgates and have it.

00:04:27
Speaker 3: I hope a lot of people will call in. Hopefully we have a fun win to talk about. But yeah, I'm gonna do my mo I still want people to meet me for the reaction outside Reperena. Then I'm just gonna walk straight down and hop on the radio.

00:04:37
Speaker 4: So thank you to Drew for doing that. He's gonna do the post game tonight. Secondly, you guys, he did my call and I want to just take a second and thank you. I asked you to subscribe to Sunday Mornings with Matt Myron. As of this moment, we are the number four podcast in sports podcasts in America. That's pretty cool, only three ahead of us Bill Simmons, pardon my take, and uh LeBatard and for just that's a huge like, first of all, I appreciate it. That's a big deal to me. But but like it made waves last night at ESPN. The executives texted us and we're like, what is this? This is crazy? And I didn't I was like, I ain't gonna say I told you so, but I told you so. But it wouldn't happen unless this audience did it. So Ryan, I just wanted to thank everybody for that. Now you got Actually, i'd like for you to listen to the show. I appreciate you subscribing, but I would actually like you to listen. But thank you power KSR.

00:05:34
Speaker 2: Like I said, we're one big, happy family here, a big blue nation, and we're always happy to help to other people.

00:05:38
Speaker 4: But number four, that's awesome. That's awesome because the other three are like massive, massive stuff. So, uh eight twenty two eighty seven football. Remember, at about this point in the season in basketball, I asked you what percentage of the fan base did you think would want cal Perry back at the end of the season, by the end of for the next year. By the end of the season, I think that number was extremely lowal but in like January February, it was still kind of divided. I'll ask you that as of right now, Ryan what do you think are the percentage of fans that would say, not necessarily by firing, but there needs to be a change next year or not. What percentage do you think.

00:06:25
Speaker 2: I'd say it's probably twenty twenty five percent.

00:06:29
Speaker 4: Keeping you think it's that niggative, it.

00:06:33
Speaker 2: Seems that way. You just see I think the fan base is I think that's a little.

00:06:37
Speaker 4: To me, it's a little. I was actually gonna say sixty forty. Keep you're saying twenty five seventy five.

00:06:46
Speaker 2: Keep that the feeling of the fan base, Yeah, I think they're.

00:06:50
Speaker 5: You think the majority of the fans.

00:06:53
Speaker 2: They would like to see a change, because see.

00:06:55
Speaker 5: I didn't get I don't get that vibe, but you do.

00:06:58
Speaker 2: I'm hearing just a lot of you're at the games, yeah, and it's not just you know, this year's been bad, but people keep bringing up the last three years, how we've seen this kind of becoming a problem each season, and just the lack of everybody used the word culture, the lack of like, the culture of the program is not what it used to be. There's not any fight and guys aren't getting any effort. Then you hear the stuff going on behind the scenes, they're like, oh, man, so maybe twenty twenty.

00:07:23
Speaker 4: Five all the behind the scenes things you feel like you can talk about or no, yeah, I.

00:07:29
Speaker 2: Think we talked about some of it, because it's just.

00:07:31
Speaker 5: That you would know more than me.

00:07:33
Speaker 2: So what do you I think, you know, the effort of some of the guys in practice, the effort of some of the guys in the weight room, the effort of some of the guys in the film study room. I think if they've all got very lax in those areas and the coaching staff has not stepped up and done anything about it, that's the kind of the feeling of a lot of people.

00:07:54
Speaker 4: And you think that's a valid feeling.

00:07:55
Speaker 2: I think it's valid.

00:07:56
Speaker 3: Okay, what about you, Drew? What would the numbers you think be? I'm saying firing just a change Howard happens. I got it about fifty to fifty. I mean, I call it my wellness walk. At halftime, I'll leave the press box and do a full lap around Kroger Field just to get outside. And you know, Mingle, there's a lot of people stopping me saying it's over this past weekend when we're doing our football rapid reactions, we hear a lot of people yelling at us. Now, I know that's emotional people at the game that are in the moment, but I think the way it's gone, and plus I'll throw in with there being a candidate everyone really likes this year, I think that might even encourage more people with some raw I'm not saying it's gonna be him, but a lot of people think that the timing on that is perfect. So I'd say I got it about fifty to fifty. I might even lean sixty forty. The other way is sixty oneing it over?

00:08:47
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean that's interesting because you know, with the cow stuff, we all kind of were in the same ballpark of what we thought the fans were. You guys are much more thinking it's it's negative than than I would have.

00:09:02
Speaker 5: But I'm not saying you're wrong.

00:09:03
Speaker 3: And part of it's being there getting yelled at, you know, in the moment.

00:09:05
Speaker 4: When they're just very Yeah, when you're in the moment, people tend to be more negative. Very true. It has not been like that, I would say on the postgame show, but that doesn't mean the postgame show isn't necessarily entirely representative either, So I either way. What's tough is it's hard to know what's gonna change in these next feeks. Like again, let's use a cow example. Had they made a run in the tournament, Cow's probably still the coach here, right, Very true. I mean, ultimately, he still had a way to sort of dig himself out of the hole. It's like with this schedule, Ryan, it's hard to know how they can dig themselves out of the hole. I mean, how you gonna beat Tennessee or Texas on the road. It's hard to see that happen. I totally agree with you. Yeah, I don't want to say this. I thought, you know, Vince did the Coaching Show last night because coach Tups was at his mom's funeral, and I thought Vince did an awesome job relaying you know he said many times, Mark loves Kentucky, Mark loves this program. I think he was trying to emphasize to the fam, Hey man, your coach is not giving up on you.

00:10:03
Speaker 5: Well I believe that. But okay, no, I mean, like again, I.

00:10:11
Speaker 4: Believe he does. I believe he cares about this place. I don't believe we have a sense yet that I think we had at the end of Cal where he was kind of done with us. I don't believe that Strip soups. With that said, I feel a little bit like Chris Rock with the well so he's supposed to love us, you know what I mean? Like, ultimately that does you've gotta that's not enough? Ryan? Does that make sense? Yeah?

00:10:35
Speaker 2: It does.

00:10:36
Speaker 4: I don't know.

00:10:37
Speaker 2: It just made me feel a little better knowing that the coaches are It's got as much fight as I want him to have. You know, they're still they're not happy either. I need to hear that.

00:10:47
Speaker 3: With the Cal comparisons, I get a lot of them. There's a lot of similarities, but the just with the sports, football doesn't give you an ending like the tournament where you can lose to a fifteen seed like lost of Vandy several times, lost on Senior Night. People didn't want him Gon because he's losing to Vandy. He has Saint Peters in Oakland that you just cannot look past. And football never will never put Stoops in that situation where he can have a loss that bad. When Cal lost blow out to Louisville the last year, one of them, like Oakland, it was just everyone new at that moment. No I because it was just the difference in the sports. It makes it a little different to get to that exact point.

00:11:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's why sometimes you need a definitive ending. Yet, so Oakland was a definitive ending. Oakland was a okay, this ends. I hate to keep making analogies to the election, but I have this one desire for the election. Whoever wins, I hope it's definitive, you know what I mean. I hope like it's defended, Like, you know, like the best thing for this country is whoever wins. Like it's clear and it's definitive. I feel the same way about this with Stoops. If he finishes four and eight, in some ways, it's definitive if we beat If we finish five and seven and beat Louisville in the last game, people are kind of gonna be able to argue whatever they want, you know what I mean. So there is a part that would almost wish there could be a definitive thing. Let's get to the second point. Quarterbacks. They're now saying that's an open job. I'm to say, I'm shocked by that too. I don't. I mean, I'm not saying Brock's been great, but what has Gavin Wims it done to give that job to him, And there's nothing against that kid. We were at that kid's high school like during COVID, Like he seems like a great guy and might be a good point, but he started at Rutgers for two years they didn't really have any success, Like, why would you give him that job?

00:12:46
Speaker 2: I know they they really like the way he fits into what Bush Handen tries to do, and.

00:12:54
Speaker 4: But when do I get to see that happen on the field? Yeah, I think you know, I mean theoretically okay, but when do I get let me ask you this. Mark said something after one of these games that he then kind of took back on. Do you get a sense that there's a view of we went and got brought for Liam and he's not the right quarterback for Bush Well.

00:13:18
Speaker 3: Vince, I think it was Vince. There was several interviews this today. One of the coaches kind of alluded to that. All they said was we had our personnel in place before we got Bush Hampden and that's basically all the comment was. But that made it sound like when Bush got here, wasn't the personnel that maybe Bush wanted Because they did they had their head Brock and the roster and added Bush late because of the lamp situation.

00:13:37
Speaker 2: So that one way, I do think that's a thing. And that's where you know, I'd heard going into this game that we're gonna put Whimsed in the set on the third series was already said not just come in for a play, you know, a whole series, and I picked him to my player of the game. So I thought, man, this may be the breakout moment he needs. He's gonna get a chance.

00:13:56
Speaker 4: And part of me wonders if they were set on that and overlook the fact that played.

00:14:00
Speaker 5: Great in the first two drive.

00:14:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's why they didn't make the change. They let Brock go ahead and stay on. But then they make the change at halftime when the scores at ten to ten. I don't know if that was the right time to do it either.

00:14:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've gotten the sense, and I have no inside information, but I'd gotten the sense that they feel like Brock is not the quarterback for Bush's system, which may or may not be true. But again, no offense to Gavin. I just don't know what he's done. I mean, we were awful in the second half offensively.

00:14:31
Speaker 5: Like we were off.

00:14:32
Speaker 4: We were certainly worse than we were in the first half.

00:14:35
Speaker 2: Right have you put Gavin in and the poor guy felt like the play calling they made him do just didn't work. He had with that second position, he's throwing three D balls.

00:14:44
Speaker 4: Well, I don't understand why he's throwing three D balls.

00:14:46
Speaker 5: That's what Brock does.

00:14:47
Speaker 4: Like, if we're gonna throw.

00:14:47
Speaker 5: Three D balls, use bron Yeah, you know, I don't get I didn't.

00:14:51
Speaker 2: Get he ran the ball and didn't even will Cox and Patters, they didn't even touch it that one series.

00:14:56
Speaker 4: I don't get it.

00:14:57
Speaker 5: Clayton and Kroum was founded on a simple idea.

00:14:59
Speaker 4: But was it.

00:15:02
Speaker 5: All leather goods should last a lifetime?

00:15:05
Speaker 4: Four Clayton on me, they lasted a lifetime. Yes, bags, belts, wallets and more. It's Clayton and Cream dot com. My mom gets me Clayton and Krom Christmas gifts. You gotta sell it. Christmas is right there, c r U m E dot com, Clayton Andcreme dot com. If it's good enough for our gifts to each other, it's good enough for you. By the way, Sheannon Ryan takes Clayton and Krom gifts to the Illuminati meetings seereu emmy dot com. They have a store on Shelby Street and Louisville in New lou quality leather goods, built to last.

00:15:36
Speaker 5: We'll take a break, be right back, Skisar, Welcome back.

00:15:40
Speaker 4: Tucky Sports Radio A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. Text Machine seven seven two four five two five four one person rights, Matt, Do we lose Vince if Stoops leaves? Not necessarily? I think I don't care who the coach is, They're gonna do whatever they can to keep him. There's probably nobody with more secure job status than Vince.

00:16:03
Speaker 2: I guess you could look at it. If they make a change with the wrong higher you could lose Vince, Brad White bunch of players.

00:16:11
Speaker 4: Well, you would want to keep Vince because I think you'd keep a lot of the roster that way, and a top recruiting class.

00:16:16
Speaker 5: I think if you.

00:16:16
Speaker 4: Lost Vince, you not only lose your coach, you lose your roster and you're starting over so and that that would be tough, especially in today's college football eight five nine two eight h twenty two eighty seven. Remember we're open here at kas Bar for lunch pregame shows at four point thirty here, so love to have you stop by on the way to the game. Shannon, and I have a story that I thought you would like. Did you see the story about the Carolina Hurricanes at McDonald's.

00:16:42
Speaker 1: I don't think I did.

00:16:44
Speaker 4: I really liked this story a lot. All right, So the Carolina Hurricanes. I stayed up last night til one am watching their game. They beat They beat Vancouver, but they're on the way hockey works is all the teams they do a West coast road trip and they play all the teams in Canada on the coast in Seattle, and it's like a four or five game road trip. So Carolina is on their game. Now they're playing in Seattle and then they're supposed to take a plane to Vancouver. Problem is, their plane breaks down. Oh so they have to take a bus from Seattle to Vancouver. Game's over in Seattle. They get on the bus. They haven't eaten yet because of the game. They try to figure out where to go. Long story short, they don't you know, you can't get a party for one hundred or where fifty or whatever. So they go, Okay, let's go to McDonald's. They know to McDonald's in like a small suburb and a small This is a small town between Seattle and Vancouver. Yeah, they pull off at McDonald's McDonald The doors are closed. It's drive through only because it's too light at not so they say okay. So Brett Burns is like, you know what, I will I'll just walk through the drive through because the bus will not fit.

00:17:59
Speaker 2: Through a small town drive heah.

00:18:01
Speaker 4: So he walks and they say to him on the thing, sorry, we cannot serve you on foot. And he was like, but I'm ordering one hundred cheeseburgers from you. He ordered one hundred cheeseburgers. On the back. They're like, we'll fix them for you, but we can't. We're not allowed by company policy to walk through the drive through. So he's ordered a hundred cheeseburgers. They have them made.

00:18:25
Speaker 2: How you gonna get them?

00:18:26
Speaker 5: But how's he gonna get them?

00:18:27
Speaker 4: He goes outside, He flags down a guy on the road, says, I'll give you one hundred dollars if I can get in your car with you and go through the drive through and get our cheeseburgers.

00:18:40
Speaker 5: He hands you one hundred Bucks. Shenon gets in.

00:18:43
Speaker 4: The car, they go through the drive through, the hands him one hundred cheeseburgers, and then he gets on the bus and gives all the team the cheese buk.

00:18:49
Speaker 1: You gotta do what you gotta do to get a cheeseburger.

00:18:51
Speaker 6: Sometimes I don't understand why they couldn't just walk the food out to the parking lot.

00:18:55
Speaker 4: Apparently in his company policy, you cannot walk through a drive through, and you cannot walk it out to the thing.

00:19:01
Speaker 3: I can confirm you can't walk through McDonald's drafter.

00:19:04
Speaker 5: So I love this. I just love the idea.

00:19:06
Speaker 4: First of all, what a team captain, Amen, What a team captain goes and flags down a guy out the side of the road and says, can I get in your car? I want you to imagine you're that guy. Yes, you're in a small town. It's eleven o'clock at night. You're like, let's go to McDonald's. All of a sudden, you do. First of all, look up Brett Burns. He has no front teeth. No, I'm serious, look him up. He has no front teeth. A guy comes up to you with no front teeth, Can I get in your car? Here's one hundred dollars. Let's go pick up one hundred cheeseburgers at McDonald's. I just love that story. I love the Carolina Hurricanes, and I love that story.

00:19:42
Speaker 2: If I'm that guy and some toothless dude hanging on my car wanting to me to get one hundred cheeseburgers to the McDonald's drafting for him, I'm flooring it and getting out of there, and like you.

00:19:52
Speaker 4: Would never think this hockey team is in your small town. Yeah, and this toothless.

00:19:56
Speaker 2: Guy, oh, yeah, right, your Carolina Hurricanes are in that bus. Yeah, he's gonna.

00:19:59
Speaker 4: Look get somebody's shit and go I need one hundred cheese markers. Take me through the tie.

00:20:04
Speaker 2: I think I'm just feeding off and leaving the guy there figure it out on your own.

00:20:07
Speaker 4: Good luck. I love that story.

00:20:09
Speaker 3: Who's up next, Let's go to Joseph.

00:20:11
Speaker 5: Joseph, go ahead, Joseph.

00:20:14
Speaker 7: Hey, madam, appreciate you taking my call. I got a football point the real fast. They used to drive uber in Louisville, and I used to take people just so I'm like warehouse complex in the.

00:20:26
Speaker 6: West End in a dead end, and they'd get out of the car and go to some like abandoned looking warehouse with a purple light over the door, and I never asked what that was.

00:20:37
Speaker 4: I don't ask that. You don't ask. Yes, I can't. I'm not saying them all. But I continue to get towns where this happened. And I've gotten probably five people that have written the text machine talking about the Ashland one.

00:20:50
Speaker 2: The Ashlon one is clearly the legend. Amen, it must be. I want to know what's going down that Ashland one.

00:20:55
Speaker 4: I'm gonna we need inside video of whatever's happening. Do you know.

00:20:59
Speaker 5: I remember who told it, and I thought he was full of it.

00:21:01
Speaker 4: He was not.

00:21:04
Speaker 3: Into the bottom of this.

00:21:05
Speaker 2: I'm going Joseph.

00:21:09
Speaker 8: Yeah.

00:21:09
Speaker 9: So with regards to UH football, I think everyone said last week that the team and looked like everybody quit, and Ryan's comments earlier it sounds like the teams quit. I just want to point out teams don't just quit on their own. If the coach is still got fire in the belly, that just doesn't happen.

00:21:29
Speaker 5: I think we'll know a lot sad.

00:21:31
Speaker 4: In all seriousness, I think, well, for whatever reason, we've stunk at home, but we're going to Tennessee and if they don't show up against whether they win or not. But if they don't show up at night against their rival with Tennessee, if they go lose by forty in or lifeless, Joseph, I think that says it's been mailed in. That's right.

00:21:56
Speaker 9: I agree with you, and it's just probably time for everybody just to move on.

00:22:00
Speaker 4: Call. I mean, whether they win or not, I am gonna judge a lot by it based on what effort you get Saturday night. If they come out and roll over, then this is probably this is probably it.

00:22:12
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I've got to see that, you know. Vince even said last night after they stunk it up against South Carolina, stoops rally, the troops got them ready for a good game against Georgia the O. They came back really strong. I gotta see that this weekend. I can't see a forty point blowout. And then you know, can't tackle, can't block, can't run the routes.

00:22:29
Speaker 4: Well, you can tell even when they lose. You can tell when they're in it. Yeah, you just can't. Yeah, And you can tell when they're not. They were not in it in the second half against South Carolina.

00:22:41
Speaker 5: They were not in it.

00:22:42
Speaker 4: In the second half against Florida, they just weren't and they weren't in it the fourth quarter against Auburn.

00:22:46
Speaker 5: We'll find out Saturday.

00:22:48
Speaker 3: And the defense really needs to step up. They've kind of lost, you know, one of their best The defensive front is what was playing so well and kept them in games they've played poorly lately. Or the offense. I just I think they could take their A plus game. Tennessee's got the number two defense in the country. They probably have the best defensive player in the country. I worry about, even if Kentucky's defense shows up and they play with heart, how they can score any points down there.

00:23:12
Speaker 4: New York Times just released an article, The colorful and cultish world of those that love nerds gummy clusters. It's about you that you. I was early on that track. Just just for the record, we'll take a break, be right back. There's an outbreak in Lexington. I'll tell you what it is. Next. TJ Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ. He'll make them pay now.

00:23:34
Speaker 1: More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

00:23:37
Speaker 4: Here's Matt Jones. Welcome back Tucky Sports Radio. Have you heard about the problem that the health officials in Lexington are dealing with.

00:23:44
Speaker 2: Now, you scared me when you tease this story, because I don't know what you're gonna get ready to tell me.

00:23:48
Speaker 4: There have been in the last week eight skunks found in Lexington with rabies. No, they're worried that there is a rabies outbreak amongst the skunks in Lexington. So they're telling people obviously, be careful yourself around skunks, but specifically your pets. Yea. Because the way they found this is they're not catching skunks, they're catching.

00:24:16
Speaker 5: Dogs who have been bitten by skunks.

00:24:19
Speaker 4: I didn't know skunks bit dogs, but apparently skunks will take a will take a chunk out of a dog, and the dogs didn't have rabies. And so they are warning people of a potential skunk rabies outbreak, Ryan in Lexington. Something else for you to worry about.

00:24:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't know this. So now I walk my dogs around the neighborhood, I'm gonna be like, I gotta take a stick.

00:24:40
Speaker 4: Watch out for the skunks of the skunk. So does this worry you? It does?

00:24:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, because then.

00:24:45
Speaker 4: If the dog gets rabies, then you could get rabies. Yeah, and you don't want that.

00:24:50
Speaker 2: I don't want that.

00:24:52
Speaker 5: Skunks Apparently I read this. I didn't know this.

00:24:54
Speaker 4: Skunks are scared of people, so they shoot their sin at you. But they're not scared of dogs, so they'll make a big chunk out of a dog if they want.

00:25:02
Speaker 3: Where I know more going up, pett and skunks. We know you like to do that. Check out the neighborhood. Skunk can't be having that.

00:25:07
Speaker 4: No skunk petting chin in which I inlex At least in Lexington, I feel like in Louisville you're still okay. You're still okay to put uh to not pun of skunk. Just kick a skunk, you know, sometimes you just get in a mood to kick a skunk.

00:25:22
Speaker 1: So rabies, that's deadly, right like if you get rabies.

00:25:26
Speaker 5: If a human gets rabies, it's not good.

00:25:28
Speaker 2: No, they give you like twenty shots in your belly button, little bit. God what yeah, look it up how they used to treat rabies. You get like twenty shots in your belly button.

00:25:38
Speaker 4: Did you have it? No? I didn't. It's in your belly button.

00:25:42
Speaker 5: Yes, he's shaking his head. It's in your stomach.

00:25:45
Speaker 4: Yeah. So there you know the things you know, like you literally don't know the most basic things, and then you know that you get a needle in a belly button for a skunk.

00:25:56
Speaker 2: Somebody obviously said that when I was young, and it scarred me for life.

00:25:58
Speaker 4: Out when I was a kid, my grandma said, don't be on the phone during the lightning storm.

00:26:02
Speaker 5: You'll get struck. That didn't mean it was correct.

00:26:05
Speaker 3: I googled it on the fly, just because you know, when Ryan says something like that, it could you never know. It was actually fourteen shots in the belly button. Fourteen shots that they stopped doing it in the nineteen eighties.

00:26:16
Speaker 5: Okay, so now they don't do fourteen shots.

00:26:18
Speaker 4: In the belly button.

00:26:18
Speaker 3: We've advanced in our skunk technology.

00:26:20
Speaker 4: Okay, the Bears have not cut number twenty nine.

00:26:25
Speaker 5: He apologized.

00:26:26
Speaker 2: I did see the apology.

00:26:27
Speaker 5: He said, I'm sorry.

00:26:29
Speaker 4: The coaches said, not only did he screw up by not paying attention, he screwed up because he was supposed to be the guy that covered the tip.

00:26:36
Speaker 3: Guy I saw play diagram.

00:26:37
Speaker 5: That was his name, his man. He was supposed to be the guy.

00:26:40
Speaker 4: All the other players were supposed to jump, and he was supposed to stand back and make sure if what happened didn't happen. Not only did he not do that, he's the one that tipped it up in the air, so he could not have done a worst job he Like they're showing it right now. Not only did he taunt everybody, not only did he jump when he wasn't supposed to, but he was also supposed to get the guy behind.

00:27:04
Speaker 5: Him and he didn't. Would you have cut him?

00:27:07
Speaker 2: I think I saw the apology at a good move on his part, But I think there's gotta be some form of punishment or something. You can't let your players get away with stuff like that. So I don't know, you suspend him for a game or a heavy five. I mean, you're a Bears fan. What do you think they should do to him?

00:27:22
Speaker 4: Well, I mean the amount that people hate him is probably punishment enough. Yeah, Like I mean, even I know his name, Tyreek Stevenson, I mean, do I know, I don't know most of the players in the So he that's gonna live with him, gonna follow him.

00:27:39
Speaker 5: So I think that's probably drew as much.

00:27:43
Speaker 4: Punishment as anything.

00:27:44
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, there was probably some innhouse stuff that wasn't fun for him. Uh, I looked him up because I've never heard of him, but I mean, he's the one of their better cornerbacks. But I love how there's four Bears players ready to bat it down like they teach you swat it straight to the ground, and he just jumps over all of them to punch it directly up into the air towards the guy he's supposed to be defending. Literally, I think he had money on.

00:28:08
Speaker 4: The defensive coordinator for the Bears yesterday said we would have been better off if he wasn't even on the field. But his point was it wouldn't have gotten tipped up. True, Like if he had just not been on the field, they would have been better.

00:28:24
Speaker 5: So tough day for Tyreek Stevenson. Who's next?

00:28:27
Speaker 4: Doing good?

00:28:28
Speaker 5: Doing good?

00:28:29
Speaker 4: How are you.

00:28:31
Speaker 10: Just? I'm always doing good, gentlemen, how about you great? I've got a conspiracy theory that came out during the Auburn game on Saturday night. I made the friend of mine made an observation that if if that had been Ryan Lemon that had ran out of gas, someone would have just given him their car and just told him call him back later, whereas Pope had to wait around and all that stuff and then I had the revelation that, oh my gosh, Ryan is actually a spy for some international conglomeration of intrigue or something like that. If you think about it, is there anybody else in the state that could get any door to open for him? In the whole state of Kentucky knows more stuff about more people. We have no idea even the depths of his connections, and that you would least suspect. I think he covers it up by throwing out some crazy stuff every now and then, and then he lets it slip when he has these that's true.

00:29:27
Speaker 5: You know, at first I didn't know where you were going.

00:29:29
Speaker 4: But I would say, there's a handful of people in this world. I appreciate the call that I think I could call with almost anything and they would know the person to call. Ryan Lemon is certainly on the list. The number one person of that is Rocky Adkins. Rocky Adkins knows everyone, Johnny Bruce, but no one's quite like you. You know a person in every town. You could literally that He's right, You could get invited to any event. So for all the making fun of you, you are sort of like the connection to the state, which is weird because you haven't even lived in this state your whole lot.

00:30:18
Speaker 2: No, I've been here, what now, twenty seven years.

00:30:21
Speaker 4: I've said this before. You are the mayor of black Lexing. Yes, I don't know any white person that is liked more by the black community in Lexington than you.

00:30:31
Speaker 5: And I don't know how all of this happens.

00:30:34
Speaker 2: I don't know either.

00:30:38
Speaker 3: That sounds like some of the spy would say.

00:30:41
Speaker 4: But am I Drew?

00:30:41
Speaker 5: Am I wrong about any event at all?

00:30:44
Speaker 4: Not at all.

00:30:45
Speaker 2: I like the fact that guy thinks I'm a spy.

00:30:48
Speaker 4: Well, but just the way people in Lexington, like more people talk to you than me, like more people like You're much more celebrate in a lot of ways.

00:31:02
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I was the sports guy for twelve years in this town. I think that.

00:31:07
Speaker 4: But you're a lot more love than Alan Cutlers, like, you know, I mean, people like you more than they like him.

00:31:14
Speaker 5: No offense to Allen, but it's true.

00:31:16
Speaker 2: I you know, I worked in Evansville, so I got to go to the second Region, third region in that area over there. Then I work in here in Lexton, so I know this central Kentucky area.

00:31:25
Speaker 3: But you know a good point, I grew up watching Ry.

00:31:28
Speaker 5: You know everyone in the mountains.

00:31:29
Speaker 2: Too, Well, that's through you and this show.

00:31:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, all right, who's next, Mike, Mike, it'd be Rocky Atkins, then you. That'd be the two.

00:31:37
Speaker 5: Mike, go ahead, Mike, go ahead.

00:31:43
Speaker 8: Hello. Hello, Yes, I had a football comment and a basketball question.

00:31:50
Speaker 4: Okay.

00:31:50
Speaker 8: The football comment is we're seeing the old adage, I believe, but when you have two quarterbacks, you don't have one good one.

00:31:58
Speaker 4: Yeah.

00:31:59
Speaker 8: And and basketball question is what are the fans doing with their Caliperry basketballs?

00:32:06
Speaker 5: That's an interesting question.

00:32:09
Speaker 4: So if you have a calib appreciate the call, you have a Calip Perry sign basketball, do you still leave it up?

00:32:14
Speaker 3: I have one. It's on my shelf at home, so yeah, you still leave it in the office. I have a lot of UK memorabilia. It's right next to a ball signed by Bill Kyley.

00:32:21
Speaker 4: Do we have a we have a picture of cal and here?

00:32:23
Speaker 5: I assume we do.

00:32:24
Speaker 2: That's one right behind you, you and him and Anthony Davis.

00:32:26
Speaker 4: So we've left that one up.

00:32:28
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:32:28
Speaker 4: We moved him over here.

00:32:30
Speaker 3: We moved him back with Patino and Joe b in the in the back and made popa a little more prominent by the door.

00:32:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, yeah, he's still in here. No, I mean I think he still is.

00:32:39
Speaker 4: I think unless he does something I want him to lose every game, but unless he does something where he talks bad about us, which I don't really think he's done yet. I don't think there's a reason to like hate him or anything correct.

00:32:55
Speaker 3: Too many good memories.

00:32:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we still celebrate what he did here. We don't forge get about those great teams. So if you get a ball autographed by Calipari, yeah you're still still So.

00:33:05
Speaker 4: Let's say Arkansas and col are playing a game. Tell me when you're rooting for Arkansas. Are you rooting for Arkansas against an SEC team like Missouri or are you rooting for Missouri. I'm rooting for Missouri. I'm rooting for Missouri.

00:33:21
Speaker 3: What do you do, Missouri? However, when the season goes on, I don't care that it's Cow. I'm rooting for whatever is better for Kentucky and the standings. When we get to like February March, yeah, I'm rooting.

00:33:30
Speaker 4: For Missouri, I think, no matter.

00:33:32
Speaker 3: But if we need Arkansas to beat a Tennessee different I mean, obviously, if getting the way of Obviously, if we need to win the SEC, that's a different point. I'm just saying in general, Arkansas's playing Missouri. All taking Missouri.

00:33:44
Speaker 4: Arkansas is playing North Carolina.

00:33:50
Speaker 5: I'm taking North Carolina.

00:33:51
Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna through also root for North Carolina.

00:33:53
Speaker 4: How about you?

00:33:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hate to say root for North Carolina, but uh yeah, let's see how.

00:33:57
Speaker 4: Far it goes. Arkansas Indiana. I'm rooting for Indiana.

00:34:03
Speaker 2: I'm rooting for Indiana.

00:34:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, Indiana, all right?

00:34:06
Speaker 4: Arkansas Duke, I knew it was coming.

00:34:10
Speaker 3: Arkansas Limits.

00:34:13
Speaker 4: I'm rooting for Duke.

00:34:15
Speaker 2: This year. With Duke being so good, I probably will find myself rooting for Arkansas because that'd be the big upset.

00:34:21
Speaker 4: I'm room for Duke. Arkansas Tennessee.

00:34:25
Speaker 3: This is where I really need to know the scenario, because I can't. I'm just playing play play first game of the year, Arkansas Tennessee. NCAA Tournament, Arkansas Tennessee, first round. I know that can't happen, But what are you doing?

00:34:36
Speaker 2: I'm going Tennessee.

00:34:38
Speaker 4: I think I'm going Tennessee.

00:34:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't say that out loud.

00:34:41
Speaker 5: I think I'm going Tennessee. You gotta pick you coming to Arkansas, Tennessee, and.

00:34:45
Speaker 2: That's big for you. You grew up down in that area where the Tennessee.

00:34:48
Speaker 4: I think for right now, if it was not, if he's not. Look, Arkansas played Duke in the tournament a few years ago. Watch I rooted for Arkansas. But in this scenario, I'm roomed for Tennessee, Arkansas, Arkansas, Louisville, Arkansas.

00:35:05
Speaker 5: Louisville winner goes to final.

00:35:07
Speaker 4: Four, Arkansas, Arkansas. I'm gonna root for her. I'm gonna root for Arkansas in that one situation, Louisville is the only one. Louisll is the only one I'm taking because maybe this is petty, but we have to win the breakup. We have to win the breakup. There's a breakup. Everybody knows when you break up with somebody, there's a winner and or loser. They're just he is.

00:35:37
Speaker 2: We could justify. We're pulling for DJ big Z Tyler. You're gonna justify.

00:35:41
Speaker 4: I'm Louisville is the only exception because we got to listen to those people all of the time.

00:35:48
Speaker 5: But we I mean, maybe I'm the only one.

00:35:53
Speaker 3: I mean, I want him to lose most games But my view is I've got teams I hate and I ain't Duke.

00:35:58
Speaker 4: Duke makes the final four all the time. Duke's good, Like, it's no shame to us if Duke makes the final four, But if our coach goes to another school and does better than he's done here in the last five years, that will annoy me.

00:36:14
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well yes.

00:36:16
Speaker 4: So that's why I'd rather root for Duke, because I'm used to Duke making a final.

00:36:20
Speaker 2: Four, and you know that could be a snow that plays out this year. I think Arkansas is going to be really good this year.

00:36:27
Speaker 4: I'm surprised you all would take Arkansas over Duke Tennessee.

00:36:31
Speaker 5: I understand.

00:36:32
Speaker 3: I just I'm not gonna have that much jealousy. I said this when he left. He's going to be better there, and we're gonna be better, Like.

00:36:38
Speaker 5: What what if we're not better?

00:36:40
Speaker 3: What if we're still going to be better than what was going to come back? So that's my thing.

00:36:46
Speaker 4: You would rather, you would rather col win a title Arkansas, Arkansas complete Duke in the championship game.

00:36:58
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't want Duke winning one either or catching up with us. So you're picking cal versus Duke genuinely would not watch that game Arkansas duke. But whatever Cal does has no impact on Kentucky. I mean, we're gonna be a little jealous.

00:37:11
Speaker 4: That's easy to say.

00:37:12
Speaker 3: We all know he's gonna be better though.

00:37:13
Speaker 4: That's easy to say. Let us lose this game February first and see if people think it does.

00:37:18
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean his overall season. Yeah, head to head, of course we want to win that. I'm just saying if Cal has some duke, Okay, if it's.

00:37:24
Speaker 2: A title game, I don't want Cal Perry to win. I'd probably have to go with duke.

00:37:29
Speaker 4: Yeah. The only title game I'm picking Arkansas and is if they play Louis then then I would probably say, all right, Cal, you know, go DJ let's go.

00:37:39
Speaker 5: Yeah. That would be from DJ and A do and Z.

00:37:41
Speaker 4: Hey. DraftKings uh betting partner of the NBA. Last night, our Carl Towns did not get up to twenty points, but Sebastianajo scored a goal.

00:37:49
Speaker 5: Is so that worked.

It's a DraftKings sports book. The crown is yours. If you have a game prop called one hundred gamebler only on Draft Kings, Kentucky only, it is Draft Kings. We'll take a break, Brack, it's Kentucky Sports Radio worker back Kentucky Sports Radio. U. It seems like most of the people on the text machine tend to agree with you all and not me. But I think you got I want what topic on the on skunks, no on the on the rooting for rooting for Arkansas or not, but let me give it more context real quick.

00:38:37
Speaker 5: From my opinion, if Kentucky.

00:38:41
Speaker 4: Does not have as much success in these first couple of years as Arkansas, if there's a big gap there, that will hurt the Kentucky program. Right, Duke having success doesn't really hurt the Kentucky program. Tennessee having success, I don't want them to win nearly every game, it doesn't really hurt us. Louisville's a little bit, but not. I mean that's more of a pride thing. But there are people out there who believe Kentucky basketball will not be the same once he leaves. And I think If you want Mark Pope to succeed, which we all do, he needs to be able to not have a big gap between him and the former coach. If there's a big gap in success, it will make it hard for Mark Pope. It will put pressure on Mark Pope, and then it'll make people go, well, what is Kentucky basketball without Caliper? And that's partially my thing is that Duke wins a title that ain't changing anything for us.

00:39:44
Speaker 5: But the other thing actually.

00:39:46
Speaker 2: Ryan Cook, Yeah, Arkansas wins the title.

00:39:48
Speaker 4: That changes. It's different, that's different, and then all of a sudden he gets that recruiting rolling down there. You know, it's different. So like they, I actually think oddly have more of a direct impact on us right now than any other program. It'll just be for these couple of years, four or five years. Even if he stays Drew, I don't think that'll be true. But in these first couple of years, I actually think it does.

00:40:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hear you. I mean I don't want him to go thirty eighth or thirty eight one or ay then crazy, but uh, I just I want Louisville, Tennessee and Duke to lose every game. It's pretty simple. I hate those teams. I wish they could lose every year.

00:40:24
Speaker 5: You hate Duke as much now that Kay's not the coach?

00:40:27
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, definitely. I mean Duke's Duke. And there's still a couple titles behind, but we don't want them stacking more titles.

00:40:34
Speaker 2: There's a really big recruiting battle going on right now between UK and Pope and Arkansas and cal with that, Caleb Wilson.

00:40:41
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're gonna talk more about that later this week.

00:40:43
Speaker 4: Kayden Lewis will make his decisions Tuesday, isn't it. It's November second, so it's uh okay, Saturday, Saturday. It's Saturday, and that's the top twenty five player. Would be a great gift for Kentucky. And then Caleb Wilson is probably deciding soon after, and it could be Kentucky and Arkansas that he that he comes down to. So be nice for Pope's already won one recruiting battle against Arkansas. Be nice to get another.

00:41:09
Speaker 5: Who's next, Jake, Jake, go ahead, Jake.

00:41:14
Speaker 4: Man.

00:41:14
Speaker 11: It's been a really it's been a real fun show. I enjoyed the politics, the gambling. I think we should talk about religion now to have our cultural lessons today. But no, actually I'm a I'm an on duty fireman and I got tickets to the game tonight and I wanted to give them to you guys to give it somebody perfect.

00:41:32
Speaker 4: Do me a favor. Talk to Shannon. Shannon, give him my email and just email him and I'll give him out.

00:41:39
Speaker 11: Okay, sounds good, Yeah, awesome, love the show, guys, Thanks.

00:41:43
Speaker 4: Thank you very much, appreciate it. Nine twenty two eighty seven. You feel good about the game night? How much you think we went in by?

00:41:50
Speaker 2: I would say the DraftKings spread should probably be over thirty, so, you know, maybe between thirty thirty five points.

00:41:56
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm feeling good. I mean, Wesleyan's not the D two national champion, but they have returned of a lot of experience and went in the Young Center last year and beat Louisville. And no, Louisvill's down, but that's the team that Kentucky just beat. Has won a lot of games in D two, so I think they're kind of comparable tonight's opponents a little better. But I still think Kentucky shouldn't have too much problem.

00:42:14
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say twenty eight just because I think you're not gonna be as hot as you were last time, probably, And I think this team is significantly better than other folks believe.
