That's right. We're in Mount Sterling today the Irish Hills
Golf Course looking forward to hanging out here for another
couple of hours and they've already got all sorts of
food laid out for the hospitality is great amount Sterling.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
So the Irish Hills Golf Course has got a big tournament.
They're big tournament, the sixty second Gate City Invitation. I'm
going to tee off this weekend, and believe it or not,
Shannon homeboy over here. Drew has already played this course.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
He's played here before, played here a couple of times,
actually part of a golf scramble. So you know, I
didn't hit all my own shots, usually someone else's, but yeah,
I've I've done the eighteen here a couple of times.
I recognize it right as we were pulling up.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Had a fun times watching them warm up on this
golf simulator over here. He's got a good swing.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
This is really cool. I heard you guys talk about
on the pre show. Behind us is this golf simulator?
This billion Drew's dream. Every commercial break, they're back here
hitting balls right here behind it.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
I was just getting loose.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
So how did you do?

Speaker 4 (02:05):
Oh? Mine was great?

Speaker 3 (02:07):
It's said ball can't be found. I hit it, so
is that what it was? Still looking for my ball?

Speaker 5 (02:11):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Because you hit it so far, I think it's on
the green. Yeah yeah, oh whatever, So what about your shot?
I was ift one, but I had a couple of
good ones at night. Yeah I did all right?

Speaker 6 (02:21):
Did all right?

Speaker 2 (02:22):
You know, maybe three out of four were bad.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
You know, my dream in life is to have one
of these. Like most people, they are looking forward to retirement. Yeah,
they want to pull this or that. When I go
to bed at night, there's just dreams of a golf
simulator later in life, in my basement somewhere.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
I mean, you could make it happen. I mean you
just need the money, projector and money. You need a
golf club, a ball, I've.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
Yeah, I'm hoping they become common enough as time goes on,
they'll be a little more afordable.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
But it's really cool Irish Hills Golf Club out here.
The the Montgomery County High School team is out there
right now. They're getting ready to play around a little bit.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
So.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Uh and the fact that you've been here. But I
was blown away because of all this great things about
this great golf. Of course, the one thing, Shannon is
stuck on the restaurant across the parking lots haunted.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
There's a ghost over there. Are you sure there's a
ghost over there? Yep, yep. I've heard that. She looks
out the window at you. Oh no, And I don't
have her name or anything like that, but she's not
happy that. I guess people play golf here. Is that right?
Is that the story? I think that's the story.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
That's she doesn't like people playing golf in her backyard.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah, I think that's it.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Well, you know, there was a thread on bond that bridge,
so to speak, that while Matt was gone instead of
Kentucky Sports Radio, we should have Kentucky Ghost Radio.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
One day we got it. I think we're gonna do
a ghost tour after the show today, I'm in Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Well does she just come out at night though, or does.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
She she's out all the time. She's probably listening right now.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
How do we know she's it's a girl.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Well, I mean I think that you could see the
difference between a man and a woman.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
It's a ghost. It's transparent. It's just like the hair.
She was wearing a dress. Oh, she may have a
dress and long hair on. I got you so well
at lots of piece together out here at the Iris
Hills golf Course. Come on out here. Casey's here second
day in a row. She's been on Tyler Hey Feller,
Kevin Kevin went came yesterday. He's here today. Also, they
were at Chaos Bar and Grill with Myron and we

(04:07):
told him, you know, we're gonna be in Mount Sterling tomorrow, Like, oh,
I live right around the corner from that golf course.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yeah, we usually keep these quiet before we pop up. Yeah,
Perks have joined us at Chaos Bar. You hear the
off air conversations. Learn a few extra things.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Well, we'll get to a lot of We've got some
special guests here. Also, we're going to get to all
those thanks to Tracy for the Chamber of Commerce having
us out here and got us all hooked ups. We
thank you very much. I guess you know. The one
thing I want to kind of start with today is
UK football, Okay, And the reason I want to start
with it is that, you know, it's been kind of
quiet this offseason. You know, after they hired Bush Hampden

(04:41):
and Brock Vandergriff transferred, and Chip Train them transferred and
Doomas Walker Johnson transferred, it kind of got quiet. Is
that a good thing or is that a bad thing?

Speaker 4 (04:52):
I think it's an intentional thing, however you want to
interpret it. You know, last season, we had high expectations. Uh,
there's more talking last you know, very optimistic. You end
up having a seven win season, lost that game to
Missouri that you should have won when you're early and
we all remember what happened Thanksgiving weekend. Stoops took a
call from college station. There was a little whatever happened there?

Speaker 2 (05:14):
True.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
So I think with just the way the season went,
given how people wanted it to go, and then Stoops
sticking a foot out the door for a Sunday there,
I think they want to be a little more quiet
going to this season, and they'll they'll show it on
the field more than having all the off the field
conversation conversations around it.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
Probably a good thing too that Stoops got to go
last on media Day.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
That's true too, he was first up.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
I felt like that would be maybe a lot more
attention on Kentucky and on Stoops during media days. But uh,
you know, they're getting it done on the recruiting trail.
They're killing it for the twenty twenty five class. They've
already got what seventeen commitments I think for that class,
so they're rolling.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
You know, I'm even keeping my own expectations down a
little bit. I'll be honest. I had Atlanta thoughts last year,
not like thinking it was gonna happen, but it's the
first time.

Speaker 6 (05:59):
In my life.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
But there's like a two percent chance.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
You let yourself daydream a little bit about it.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
I thought I'm going into playing Georgia. I even convinced
myself they'd be in that one this year. Personally, I'm
just gonna temper it a little bit. But at the
same time, I recognize they're gonna be a better football team.
It will just see what happens when they actually get
on the field, because they've loaded up on the defense.
Getting you mentioned the transfers they got offensively, I mean
Toomus Johnson on defense. I mean, that's a guy that's

(06:26):
making big plays for Georgia. You've had a DJ Waller,
you got Harrison back, Deon Walker's a freak of nature.
We don't see very often, so I think they have
a lot of pieces and I kind of don't mind
it being a little quiet, just so don't set a
bar too high. Let's just let's just quietly go into
the season and then show it there on the field.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
I'm excited to see what bush Hampton's offense is going
to look like. You know, last year they were the
slowest paced offense and all in college football, so it
can't get any slower than that. And then Brock Vandergraff,
I'm excited to see, you know, a guy that competed
for the starting job at Georgia.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
You know the thing about the offensive coordinator, this is
what the fifth season in a row they've started with
the new co ordinator. It's crazy with Eddie Gran and
then Liam and then Skangarello and then Liam again and
now bush Hamden five straight years even though Liam was
here twice well as a consecutive five straight years. You
start the season with a new offictive coordinator, you know,
that's new signals, new verbiage, new way of doing things.

(07:17):
I mean, I think Liam was even different the second
time around he was the first time around. It's kind
of crazy.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
It's really wild. It was crazy to have three and
three years, then it was crazy to have four and
four years, and now we have a fifth and five years.
Bush Hampden talked a little bit to Andy Staples from
on three yesterday and encourage everyone to go check that out.
I'm looking forward to what he does. It's gonna be
a little more running the ball. We'll see about tempo.
But I like everything they did in the offseason. Really,
it's just a matter of when the games are supposed

(07:44):
to win, don't. We can't get up on a team
and do something dumb, lepp him back in and get
away game. So it's it's all about what they're actually
gonna do instead of what they're gonna tell me right now.
I did think at SEC media Days, Stoops handled the
A and M question as best as he could. I mean,
what are you supposed to say? Kind of took it,
got on out of the way, and then he also
opened his comments and it's kind of funny. He's like, well,

(08:04):
it wouldn't be SEC media Days, wasn't talking about my new coordinator.
Got a little lat out of the room.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
So I think we need to be worried when other
teams don't want our coach.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
That's true. Yeah, yeah, I've said that for years and years.
It's a good thing when other bigger football programs want
our coaches.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
And I think that him staying at Kentucky and showing
his loyalty says everything that he's being said. I don't think.
I mean, he chose to stay at Kentucky when he
could have taken that job.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
And now he's the longest tenured coach in the SEC
since Savings Well Downers.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
They were talking about that at media Days. Pretty while
to be an SEC football coach in Kentucky's the longest
one now.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Shannon brough up a good point. You know, the fact
that's been so quiet during the summer for the UK
football UK going last at the SEC Media Days kind
of everybody's tired by the end. They've already got their
stories written. They kind of were able to slide under
the radar. Even at SEC media days.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Yeah, I went to that last year. KSRS stays the
whole time. We can't get enough of if it. I
think Nick Rouse would live there if he could. But
there's an obvious decline in attendance on that last day
when people that are there for specific teams, they're not
gonna get an extra hotel room. They're gonna get on
out of there. You'll just have a few of the
people that cover every team there and then the Kentucky folks.
I watched the live stream and the ballroom was kind

(09:14):
of full, But there's certainly a difference in going.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
First unless there is.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
Don't Stoops requested that, but it helped add to the
quiet offseason.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, all the gate guys that go first, all the
media people were there, and you know, some of the
bigger schools, Texas joining in Oklahoma joining that got a
lot of interest Kentucky. There was really no news at
all that came out of SEC Mediad's for Kentucky. I
think Stoops probably would prefer I think so too that.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Way, So you know, I think that this team probably
is gonna try to slide underneath the radar all year long.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, you know, but you got to win that second
game the season.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
Have to.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
You gotta beat South Carolina in week two. You have to.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
It stinks so bad, that's the situation. No, it actually
doesn't because we're gonna win. But you don't really want
a game that meaningful in week two because it really
will change the attitude of the fan base. Whatever happens there,
we're either gonna be on fire two and oh looking
at to Georgia, we will have lost a third straight
to South Carolina.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Now it came out Friday, we have any chance to
talk about we didn't talk about yesterday. The SEC media poll,
the preseason media poll had Kentucky at eleven. Does that
seem about right now? Even though I say that they
are ahead of Florida and they are head of South Carolina,
two teams on their schedule, you think eleven is about right?

Speaker 7 (10:17):
Or?

Speaker 2 (10:17):
What do you feel about that?

Speaker 4 (10:18):
When I saw they were eleventh, I'm like, what's no way?
And then you pulled the list and you're like, well,
I mean, Zach, I don't know who I'm gonna move
them up again. It just shows how hard this conference is.
I mean, Missouri, a team that Kentucky. Had we got
to where it was just you were just counting that
as a win there for a while. They were winning
so many times. They are such a good team to
had a good team last year and reloaded, So it
was nice to be ahead of Florida. And I think

(10:40):
Auburn was ahead of them, and you get Auburn at home.
I think they're gonna be better than Auburn, but it's
really hard to argue against where they put them there.
Maybe ninth if you want to get optimistic, but ninth
is still ninth.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yes, especially when you've got yeah, Georgia, Texas, Ole Miss
three top ten teams and oh, by the way, they're
all three on your schedule this year.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
But you can also look at it as an opportunity.
You know we're gonna be underdogs in that game. Yeah,
say you win them. I mean those are that's why
you play the game. We all remember number one LSU
coming to Roger Field, one of my favorite memories ever.
Who knows, Let's do it again. Let's get some upsets.
Less of the losses that we weren't supposed to lose,
more of the games we weren't supposed to win.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yeah, you can't lose those games at home to Missouri
when you're up fourteen nothing, and you can't lose a
home to Vandy like you did two years ago. You
gotta win those games, and you gotta beat South Carolina
at home this year and week two you just have to.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yeah, what is the Ryan Lemon excitement?

Speaker 6 (11:29):
You know?

Speaker 4 (11:29):
I don't know if Dane's feeding you anything. You know,
you have all these pull parties. Is there any is
there any buzz that you know we're not getting in
the media.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
I know. I say it's about Dane and Berry On
they are just like working their tails off. I mean
they are, like there's a new level of focus and
determination I think on both those guys. And I see
it more from Dane obviously. I mean Dan Cutty's hair
offs all business. He's all business this year.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
I like. He posted on Instagram yesterday a bunch of
pictures had had the all business haircut. At the caption
said save your applause for the end, yeah, meaning don't
cheer me now, wait till you see what I'm about
to do.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Well. Kent Spencer was on the Leech Report this morning.
Kent said something I think is right where we all thought,
and even Barryon and Dane thought last year was going
to be their breakout year, sophomore year. Sometime it's a
little tougher, So this may be the year they both
had the big breakout year, you.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Know what I mean, I think this is their year.
But I want to go back to that party you
were just talking about a minute ago, because we had
a guy on the pre show that called in and
said that they hosted an offense and defensive line. They
had ten pounds of hamburger and it was all gone
within ten minutes. So I'm wondering, like, have you planned,
Like are you planning the food for this party?

Speaker 4 (12:38):
You gotta get more than ten pounds of hamburger, by
the way, if you're feeding Lineman.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Well yeah, I talked to Dane last week. We went
out and get got it by dat and I said, Man,
you're gonna bring your buddies over again? And she goes, yeah, probably,
he said. Even dk Sumo had even asked when we
going back out to the pool party. It's not set.
I mean, they don't have it, you know, the most
of the guys probably, I don't think they're in Lexington.
They'll come back first week of August when they started. Yeah, camp,
I sure.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
You're fully prepared for the amount of food that you're
going to eat.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
That's up to Dante. Dante brought the burgers and the
hot dogs and everything. Yeah, on his.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
If Dean Walker showed up at my house and I
had to feed him, I would just throw him the keys.
But whatever you going, man, it's all yours.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
I'm leaving well, especially like I think Josiah Hayes was
there last year. They got some big dudes that were
there last year. Yeah. So speaking of food, you know,
Wild Eggs brought us breakfast yesterday and they had a
bunch of pancakes. Huh, did you get good? Did you
get any pancakes?

Speaker 4 (13:27):
They were like those good thick pancakes that still get
cooked all the way through. They looked perfect.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Did you get any?

Speaker 4 (13:33):
I mean I saw them from a few feet away.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
They looked good.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
I smelled them a little bit when the wind came
through the front door a little bit.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Myron was gonna stab us with these fork if we
tried to take any of those pancakes. I think somehow
Mario snuck one away. But I didn't get a eat pancakes.
If you didn't get any pancakes, Mario. I mean, Myron
ate all the pancakes.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
If that had been Channing or you or Matt whoever,
I would have said, quit hogging the pancakes, pass those over.
But you know, we were so excited to have Myron
in town yesterday and I didn't have it in him
to cut them off.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Was a pancake of fishy, and no doubt that just
from the shows that he's done over the summer, so
he was a big fan. Have we converted him to
a wild egg?

Speaker 4 (14:05):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yoh, yeah, that got him converted yesterday.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
And then I spent three hours with him. I didn't
want to leave him there. He was doing ESPN, and
you know he didn't He's not gonna go up to
a server and say can you help me get on
the internet. So I just wanted to make sure he
was all good, got him fed at CHS Bar, and
then I don't know, I think Casey did someone just
say said zero percent chance of making that flight, Well
you lost because.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
He was made the flight. Somehow he made it to
the five thirty flight from Lexington.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
So somebody said one hundred percent, somebody said zero percent.
I think I was fifty fifty.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
I was like sixty, I said sixty percent. I thought
he could make it. But somehow he made it. Shannon,
I don't know. Well he left the little he fair,
He left a little early.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
We got him out of there about two forty. I
took that twenty minutes might have been the reason he
did it.

a good day to call and give us a maybe.

quite a quite a mane of hair on the back
of your head there.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
I've what what what type of product do you use?

Speaker 6 (16:41):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (16:43):
It looks all natural.

Speaker 8 (16:44):
Rout little pert plus panteene is my mate away his
trade secrets. He had head that looked to his wife first,
Can I say it? Can I say what I use.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
On my hair?

Speaker 3 (16:56):
Now? I got a question? Yeah, go ahead, Like how
long did it take for you to grow out that
glorious mullet?

Speaker 6 (17:02):
I've had long hair since I was in high school.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
Probably, so this has been like a lifetime thing.

Speaker 6 (17:09):
I've cut it one time, you've cut it one time
since high school. I cut it right right here so
that I made sure they kept at one lance because
I know it's gonna grow up.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
I can, So why did you cut it? Did somebody
say enough with the most something different, something different, mix
it up?

Speaker 6 (17:27):
Yeah, my father in law. I think I wanted to
show my father in law that, you know, yeah, yeah,
you know when we first long hair, when we first
moved this guy, you know, he wasn't much on you know,
piercing stattoos, long hair. I had the long hair. I
didn't have the other two.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Now, usually there's there's a young man from eastern Kentucky
in the mountains that has a long mullet. He goes
to all these contests and wins a lot of them.
Did did you have to beat out some young guys
to win this competition?

Speaker 6 (17:57):
The first year was really big.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
The first year will be probably forty plus, forty plus
people with mullets in the contest.

Speaker 6 (18:04):
Yeah, and the contest was, yeah, you break them up. Yeah,
we're talking nineteen, the year before the pandemic.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
So I think you ran them all off. They saw
that thing. So we got to find another county for
our mullet contest.

Speaker 6 (18:16):
Not winning that one, we'll see. Actually, the thing that's
so good about the muld is, you know you don't
just got a winner. You got you know, you've got
kids group, you got oh yeah, okay, if it's got
adult groups and you know, just got one trophy, you've

Speaker 9 (24:23):
I am walking through the gate here at King's Island.
What's the first ride you're going to ride when.

Speaker 4 (24:28):
You get Oh?

Speaker 2 (24:29):
I love this question.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
The Beast It still there?

Speaker 2 (24:31):
Thank you, Alex, appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
The Beast.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
The Beast is what we grew up. That was the
best ride in the world.

Speaker 6 (24:37):
Yours.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
I mean, I don't know legitimately if it's still there.
Oh yeah, yeah, Okay, what's the new roller coaster up there?

Speaker 4 (24:43):
I haven't been to King's Island. I don't even remember
the last time I know this back isn't getting on
the Beast the wooden coasters.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Maybe if I recall, they'll throw you around, maybe son
of Beast.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
I'm a Cedar Point guy. Yeah, I go. I go
to the major leagues for my roller coasters.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
No, Kings Island still have some good roller coasters. I've
not been here you, but they still got some good ones.
I think they've got a relatively new one. They had one.
Remember when you get in and then it would like
rotate where you were flying like Superman, you'd be on
your belly. But I think I don't know if that
one is still around. They may have taken that one out.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
In western Kentucky were we would go to U a
little Santa Claus, Indiana get my free sun screen, uh
splashing Safari. My King's Island trips were pretty limited, but
I remember the beasts.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Are you still a roller coast roller coaster guy? Oh?

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yes, absolutely. I love roller coasters. I do, my dad,
my oldest son, my youngest son. But I got one
son that will not ever ride a roller coaster.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
About the water log that always scared me as a kid.
For somebody scared you drop. Yeah, the worst part right, Oh,
that's a fun part through the initial drop. It's all
good from there. But that first drop, Oh, it puts
your stomach up in your throat. I hate that villain.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
The best thing about that is you're at whatever park
of your choosing, King's Island, Holiday World, Dolly Wood, wherever
you want to go land. I went to opy Land.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Back before I did too.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
I mean.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
About the log flume. Thing is it's one hundred and
twenty degrees outside and you stand on that bridge and
let it splash it off.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yes, yes, the only way to get cooled down now,
you know. Tom Hart talked about this in one of
the shows he hosted, his summer Scary Rides or Scary
Amusement Parks. When we went to Vienna, Austria. Their rules
and regulations and what they can do for rides are
different than the United States, and they had a ride.
I don't know if I can even explain it. It was
like the Scrambler. Okay, it started out like the Scrambler,

(26:29):
and the scrambler will say you're rotating clockwise your car,
but the machine is rotating counterclockwise, and then it lifts
you up in the air and turns you upside down.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
Oh my god, it's.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
The scariest thing I've ever seen in my life. I mean,
I couldn't.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
I was just an upside down scrambled, upside down scrambler
where you're going one way and the ride is going
the other way. It was no I'll check out on that.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Oh it was unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
My rides aren't like how fast they go. If I'm
going upside down, I can handle all that, you know.
I'm a blue Angel's true. I'm gone at the speed
of sound. My issue is who put this thing together.
I've done this before on the show, and Ney Bourgatzi
stole it. But I don't want my ride passing me
on the hallway on the way to the fair, you know.
So if it's like a King's Island to a place
that I have a pretty good idea that some scientists

(27:16):
were behind this, I'll ride.

Speaker 6 (27:17):
You're okay.

Speaker 4 (27:18):
But if I'm at the Hopkins County Fair and the
guy's just chain smoking and I'm not even sure he's
checked it yet, I don't, I'm out. That's It's Mine's
all about who put it together.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
We've got the Kentucky State Fair Kevin up. Next month,
we're gonna be out there, so maybe we could put
you on one of those rides.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
I'll do it anyway, you and I can ride them.
I don't, I don't care.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
I love it. We got you out of Kentucky Kingdom.
Another another, Oh yeah, the change and they still got
the change, the chanin.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
I don't know if that's still there or not.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
What was that?

Speaker 2 (27:41):
What's the long wooden roller coaster at Kentucky Kingdom? Thunder
Twisted Sisters side by side? All they did under run?
I think under run.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
That's also now one called Lightning Run. So there's two
of them that they have A.

Speaker 2 (27:54):
Five nine eighth two weight seven. Didn't know. Our first
question was gonna be out Woodford First Colle's gonna be
Woodford County Wrestling and Amusement Park. But we love that.

seventh comes that I met you. I was at the
Woodford County football game and yep, I blew your mind

Manley do the play by play with the headsets on,
and whatever Dan Manley would say, Mike would say that
on the PA. It was ubly. Here's another thing I'll
tell you about, Mike. Mike, tell him about the free
throw contest you won.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
No I mentioned Dan Manley. He's been calling play by
play here in Montgomery County for over fifty years. I
mean when Joel Utley retired as the voice of the
Kentucky Wesley and Panthers. I think Dan Manley is now
the longest running play by play guy for one school
it's like fifty four years he's been doing conversation. Oh
my goodness. They played Frederick Douglas a couple of years

(30:22):
ago and he had me on at halftime. I'm like, man,
I'm in all. I mean here, you've been doing this
for fifty years and I appreciate you having me on.
So yeah, Dan Manley the voice of the Montgomery County Indians.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
For sure, I'm impressed with your mo co knowledge.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
I mean, well, when I'm working at Chaney team, they
we covered Montgomery County a lot. You know, they had
a great run with high school girls basketball. Beth Wece
was probably one of the best high school girls I've
seen in this state ever. She was outstanding. And we're
gonna tell our.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
Listeners about a pretty good little Montgomery County athlete too.

Speaker 2 (30:51):

Who we got tem Moose? Go ahead, T Moose?

Speaker 4 (31:04):
This is T Moose.

Speaker 7 (31:05):
I'm from Louisville, Kentucky, and just want to say I'm
behind Mark Pope.

Speaker 9 (31:10):
I will sure as far as I can for him.

Speaker 7 (31:13):
And if you're wondering about football, I have a girl
that I see who it is Melanie, and she's from Michigan.
So I'm a Michigan fan Wolverine fan. But as far
as Mark Pope, I'm one hundred percent behind him.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
We need to get you on the Mark stoops in
UK football bandwagon. Now, what can we do to convince you?

Speaker 7 (31:32):
No, I like Mark Stoups, I really do. And I
really didn't like to comment that Cali Perry made about
this the basketball.

Speaker 10 (31:40):
Yeah, basketball school.

Speaker 9 (31:41):
But no, I like Mark Stukes.

Speaker 5 (31:43):
I do.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
I really like him.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
I hope he does well.

Speaker 7 (31:46):
I uh but no, you know I'm for UK. Uh
just gold Mark Pope. And I know the change dar
him making the Final four slim to none, but h.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Oh oh damn. I appreciate it, appreciate the phone call.
I mean, I know we got some fans are going
to try to predict final four, but we need to
give him, give him, give him time to build the
program and get to that through that level changed.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
Did anybody have San Diego State in the final four?

Speaker 2 (32:14):
That's true, very true.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
Make the final four of these days? So long, he's
got some good coaching and some old dudes, which I
think we have. I liked what Myron said. Yes, I've
been about Pope being all businesses. I've been down there
many years. Haven't been quite a while. Matt and I
used to go every year. And it is not that
coaches aren't recruiting, but it is more about the coaches
there to see the coaches too. There's a lot of socializing,
and I like the Pope's focus sitting up front with

(32:37):
his little binder and making sure that he's letting the
players know that he's there for one reason.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
I think a lot of fans that with their biggest
takeaway yesterday Shannon was Myron talk about how Mark Pope
he is there. He's there for business. Yep, he's down
there front center, got his binder, and he's ready to
go continue to try to build this program.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
That's what we wanted. Our coach is not down there
for you know, just socializing, trying to get some some
work done while he's there. So sounds good to me.
I'm excited about it.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
All Right, we come back, we'll take our break. We're
gonna talk to the new Kentucky miss Softball. She's from
right here in Montgomery County. We'll introduce you to her.
Talked to her about what she did this year, the
amazing stat she put up. Right back, This is Kentucky's
Sports Radio. All right, Welcome back Kentucky Sports Radio. Ryan
Lem and Drew Franklin and Shannon the dude you know Shannon.
Red State Barbecue has been serving quality smoked meats in Citil,

(33:24):
Kentucky and beyond for nearly fourteen years.

Speaker 5 (33:27):
Now.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
Sounds like if you were gonna have a football party
at your house, maybe you could get Red States.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Wow, what a great idea. Seven days a week you
can enjoy tender brisket, fall off the bone, ribs, pulled pork,
pulled chicken, and of course they're one of a kind
smoked and flash fried wings. But they also offer some
specialties including their smoked half chicken and smoked strip loin
on Saturdays and on Sundays smoked prime rib as well.
Of course, you can't get there for a can't go
over bicking with out their sides, potato salad, coast law,

(33:53):
baked bean, beer, cheese grits, and I think you've got
the best corn pudding I've ever had. If you know it,
you know Red State's barbecue, rich and creamy, big mac
and cheese. Let's say barbecue. They're on Georgetown Road. You know,
when you go from Lexington to Georgetown, they call it
Georgetown Road. When you call from Georgetown to Lexton, they
call it Lexington Road forty twenty Georgetown Road. Barbecue the

(34:13):
way you want it to be. It's good all right
now on the way over here. You know, I like
to think it's like former athletes from these communities we
go to.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
I saw you googling in my front seat.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
I was trying to and it was having a hard
time really coming up with who was the best athlete
to come out of Montgomery County. She may be sitting
at the table with us now drew the new Rainy
Miss Kentucky softball Reagan one out of Montgomery County High School.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
Thank you guys.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
Had you had a heck of a season. I mean,
you said you broke a lot of record. What were
some of the records you broke?

Speaker 5 (34:44):
So I broke the season record and home runs which
is twenty four. Broke the state record twenty four.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Home runs of the season.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
I've got her stats right here. Do you know your
batting average?

Speaker 5 (34:54):
I think it's a five to ninety one, five.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Ninety four other then.

Speaker 5 (35:01):
Set I broke the seven consecutive home runs. So like,
I literally started in the district tournament. So we played
three district games and then I had the math up
five region games or four regions, yes, and then I
started on the district the first district game, hit a

(35:21):
home run. In all seven games at a home run.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 4 (35:25):
They are in Harrison of Softball over here, just carrying
in the postseason.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
They don't do intentional walks and softball, Hi, maybe they
should do.

Speaker 5 (35:31):
They do the region championship game, which was funny. I
hit two pop ups. Okay, the next to it bats
they intentionally walked me twice. They did not want me
to break the record. And then the last at bat
they were like the letter hit first pitch, hit it.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Out of the park.

Speaker 6 (35:45):
Love that.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
Yes, seventy six RBIs to throw that in there.

Speaker 2 (35:49):
You already made your college decision. Where you going?

Speaker 5 (35:51):
Troy University in Alabama?

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Are some of the other schools you considered, Marshall.

Speaker 5 (35:57):
I'd Murray State. I talked to the University of Alabama
a little bit, you know, Kentucky, but I just thought Troy.

Speaker 4 (36:05):
Was the place I got a Troy T shirt at home.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
I should have you should have warred it today. You know,
Shannon was quite the power hitter in his back in
his day. What what's your secret to hitting the hitting
some home runs?

Speaker 5 (36:15):
Oh, it's all the legs, like cause you know, I understand,
like guys are all upper body. Girls can't use upper body.
So that's how I work as the legs.

Speaker 4 (36:23):
Shannon had a similar stat he went seven games without
hitting home run.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
I went most of my high school career without home run.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
What a position did you play in the field, Catcher? Catcher?

Speaker 3 (36:32):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (36:33):
So what other accolades do you think that we need
to know about? You were All Region, I guess, and
I was All.

Speaker 5 (36:39):
District, All Region and then all State, first team All State.

Speaker 4 (36:43):
What's so about to you about Troy?

Speaker 5 (36:45):
Just you know the staff. The staff is incredible. Like
I'm going nine hours away, so I have to be

Oh nice.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
For what if Kentucky has produced these great girls softball
players in recent years. I remember they had just a
girl up just played on Oklahoma. Yes, I think from
what was she from Webster.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
County County Madisonville had a Kayley Tone went to uh
Alabama in Montana.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
I can remember her name. She was the pitcher right, yes,
pitch for Alabama. I mean, what is it? Why has
there been all this talent coming up out of Kentucky
all of a sudden.

Speaker 5 (37:21):
To be honest, I don't even know.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
I mean, is youth programs or is it better coaching.

Speaker 5 (37:26):
I think the youth programs are a big deal because
our Moco softball team we have youth programs, and he
brings back old players from the past and we just
like bond and get to know each other. And I
think that's just a big thing about girls too.

Speaker 6 (37:40):
Well.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
I know, like I said, Beth Weiss, I think she
was missed basketball here at one point. Now we got
missed softball here at Montgomery County. So Reagan, congratulations, what
a what are you? What a career? What a season
she had?

Speaker 6 (37:50):
Shannon?

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Yeah, I mean I can't imagine facing somebody batting almost
six hundred. I would intentionally walk her every time.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Twenty four home runs and over seventy RBI. That's a
pretty good season.

Speaker 6 (37:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:59):
I like going to uh Troy even though it's Kentucky football.
There's like UK connections down there. You know, Noil Brown
went down there. They have the John Schlarman offensive line
room down there. So maybe she could take a little
Kentucky de Troy and leave a legacy.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Somemmer all as the coach now right? Is he still
the coach left?

Speaker 4 (38:14):
But he was there? Okay, he was so good he
didn't have to stay too long.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
Uh, speaking of kind of things that are a little disappointing,
we all got news yesterday that dan Issel had passed away,
and it came from a pretty reliable source.

Speaker 4 (38:30):
Let's be real quick. He did not Let's not leave
the cliffhanger the yeah, don't add to the he's still
alive and well, Danl's doing great.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
He's very much.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Still alive and doing well. But there was a there
was a couple hours there we thought, okay, this is
our lead story tomorrow. We need to talk about dan Issel.
And I was going to contact Shannon se if he
could come up with some clips where he was on
our show with us, but he's very much alive and well, Drew,
how did how'd that go for you?

Speaker 4 (38:54):
Someone posted on Facebook that he had passed and then
he I mean you social media that gets passed around
a lot. I had some people texting me to the
point where uh, Tyler from KSR reached out to UK,
you know, and this is spreading everywhere. This is in
multiple chats here and there, people wondering when's it gonna
go public? And then there's a follow up post like

(39:14):
fake news that didn't really happen.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
I'm always intrigued by, like how did that start? Like
somebody had to like just create it in their mind?
Or like who started that? Right?

Speaker 4 (39:24):
I mean, like why how do you post someone doubt
and you're not sure?

Speaker 3 (39:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (39:27):
Right?

Speaker 3 (39:28):
I mean, Brian, will have you ever done that before?

Speaker 5 (39:31):
No?

Speaker 2 (39:33):
But I tell you what I was. I was very
close to putting something out of my own social media.

Speaker 4 (39:37):
Wondered about that too.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
Because you know, hey, a matter of fact, I've got
it in my drafts. I've got it in my drafts
on Twitter that if I saw somebody else confirm it,
that I was gonna put it out there.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
Well, let's let's hang out.

Speaker 4 (39:48):
We're happy to report that he is not uh dead.
In fact, let me find the comment his wife comment,
he's uh doing excellent and and and just enjoy here.
This is Dan's wife want to let everyone know he's alive,
in good health and loving being in Colorado. So none
of that was accurate, even though lots of people thought
we lost Danis Liley yesterday.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
I know in the media a lot of times we
were kind of had to be ready and had these
old bit packages ready and old bit stories ready.

Speaker 4 (40:17):
Well does I unfortunately wrote one and that's just sitting
in drafts now. I don't want it there now. I
feel weird that that's there, but I had to type
that up because we weren't true.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
Since this is such a morbid topic, I think we
should all write each other's obituary and come back with
it and read it on the air tomorrow. Oh, like
Drew can write one for us, we'll write one for
him for you.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
But what if we kiss our curse one of.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
Using I don't even like having that already written.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
I've got news, worry Ryan, nobody's getting out alive. At
some point we're all gonna go.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
Yeah, it wasn't that long ago where we thought our
buddy Michael Bennett had passed away. Somebody had posted on his.

Speaker 3 (40:52):
Remember Hilley horror story they happened in threes.

Speaker 2 (40:54):
Jerry Polly. I thought he had passed away. I got
the news from a very reliable source that he had
having some issue health issues at the time.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
Anyway, it was just in our text though that wasn't
public correct, but in our text group. The guy from
Hillbilly Horror Stories Jerry Poly Yes, it died and you go,
wait a minute, he's he's back. Oh my gosh, so
what a comeback?

Speaker 4 (41:14):
Yeah, just let this be a lesson to everyone before
you go post it on social media. Certainly, if it's
about the death of anyone, the all time greatest wildcat ever,
let's be really sure that that's the case.

Speaker 3 (41:25):
It's a lot more important to be accurate than first.

Speaker 6 (41:27):
Very true.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Yeah, because I put in my post, he's on everybody's
Mount Rushmore UK bask for everybody.

Speaker 4 (41:32):
So maybe Dany can call in and we can hear from.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
We can talk to him and we get a hold
on your whole bitch way. You gotta do more than that,
all right, Well.
