but uh, looking forward to seeing everybody there.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
All right. As I said, we're in Midway because it's
Woodford County days. We counted down the counties where at
Woodford County County number one hundred and twenty. We're in
mid Way and we are honored to have with us
the Mayor of Midway, Grayson vander Griff, the Mayor of Midway,
has stopped by here at the Clark's Puppet Shop. I mean,
this is a big deal here, we're at the Clark
Puppet Shop on the wrapped up the County tour here

(03:14):
in Midway.

Speaker 6 (03:15):
Yeah, you picked the right city to do it in
in Woodford County too. I appreciate it. Brian Trock is
going to really appreciate me saying that too, So I
just wanted to get that dig on him real quick.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Well, Drew mintioned some of the great tourists stops, especially
the restaurants over there in downtown Midway.

Speaker 6 (03:29):
I mean, we can't believe how lucky we are sometimes
to be a city of seventeen hundred and fifty people
and we have like seven world class restaurants downtown. It's unbelievable.
We I mean, I can't believe we're not all completely overweight,
but we well here, We very well, and our.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Visitors do too.

Speaker 6 (03:42):
I think we get over one hundred thousand visitors a year.
Emily coming on next, we'll give you some of those numbers, maybe,
but we get a lot of people coming through, a
lot of people.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Outside of the good food. What is your favorite part
of being a part of Midway, not just as the mayor,
but living here.

Speaker 6 (03:55):
It's just the small town charm. I mean, you know
we're we're small, but it's very vibrant co unity if
you've noticed, right. I mean there's a lot going on
here for how small it is. But we don't have
to deal with the traffic of bigger cities. We don't
have to deal with the crime rates of bigger cities.
I mean, we really have the best of both worlds.
We have all that access to the stuff that big
cities give you, but we just have it in a
smaller box. We don't have all those problems other places have.

(04:17):
It's it's it's like living in paradise.

Speaker 8 (04:18):
It really is.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
And if you've never been here, you go downtown and
it's awesome with the train goes right through this kind
of splits main Street right through downtown. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (04:28):
Yeah, that's the We're the first city built by the
railroads in Kentucky, so was Kentucky's oldest railroad town. And
that train comes through eight or nine times a day.
It's hard to say when exactly, but if you're a
downtown long enough, you're going to see it.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
While we have a Vandergriff, how's Brock looking in camp?
Is there any relation?

Speaker 2 (04:44):
No relation?

Speaker 6 (04:46):

that I okay, but but I'm excited. And I got
my eight year old son Jackson here. He might be
playing for UK one day.

Just a fue little quick fact. But Ryan, you mentioned

Pepper Distillery. Okay, So when you go in and see
those hoop steals, that building is from eighteen thirty eight,

(07:50):
and one that was old that was old Taylor Distillery.

Speaker 10 (07:54):
That's from eighteen eighty seven.

Speaker 9 (07:56):
And then around the corner from that is Glenn's Creek Distillery,
which is in the old Pro Distillery and that's from
the eighteen seventies.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
That's amazing.

Speaker 10 (08:04):
Yeah, yeah, Jar.

Speaker 9 (08:05):
And then one of the horse farms you missed, Ryan
is a cool more than Ashford stud You're right, and
they are actually the home to Justify and American Peril
at Sally.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
You're right, You're exactly right, Jerry, Thank you, all right,
appreciate you op of the phone call. Yeah, that's what
I'm saying, man. When you think Bourbon, the birthplace of bourbon,
you guys said it is Woodford County, and.

Woodford County's finally getting a new one. He said they're

There sounds like it's been long overdue too. So the
big big moves to that community and the kids they

new building.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
That's right. Eight five nine two two two weetsun, let's
squez another caller on Matt who we got Mike, Go ahead, Mike.

Speaker 8 (08:57):
Hey man, how are you?

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Mike?

Speaker 8 (09:01):
All doing fine down there in big city of Trick County.
But I wanted to give you a tentvent on bourbon.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
All right, y'all, did y'all know did y'all.

Speaker 8 (09:10):
Know that bourbon was discovered accidentally?

Speaker 2 (09:14):
I don't. I'm not gonna doubt this story because probably true.

Speaker 8 (09:18):
No, it is true. It was one of these guys
up around somewhere right there. I don't know if it
was Elijah Craig or which one, but they had a fire.
Lightning struck the barn and when during the fire it
burnt a months of their barrels, well, he had a
big order of moonshine to shift to New Orleans, so

(09:42):
he didn't have any more marrels, so he had to
put it in these barrels that got burnt and charred
on the inside. They sailed them up. Of course, by
the time you know, it floated on that water all
the way down in New Orleans and ramping age that
liquor in there. By the time it got there, the
people in New Orleans got it out. Guess what Bourbon

(10:03):
was born?

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Was born? Thank you man, appreciate the phone call, Shan.
I I want that story to be true, and I
hope it's true because that's a great story and I
don't doubt it.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
I'm gonna believe it regardless if it's true or not.
It's just a great story. And uh so should we
thank New Orleans? Do we thank you thank Louisiana for Bourbon?
Is that what I'm hearing forres? Do we think fire
the god.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
He created the lightning bolt that hit the barn, that
caused the fire, that charged the barrel that got down
to New Orleans to get it to get bourbon born.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
I have no idea if that's true, but I feel
like if you're gonna call in and tell the story,
we'll just agree. Good.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
I agree. Let's get one more form. We go to
our break. Who we got Matt?

Speaker 5 (10:43):
Aaron?

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Go ahead, erin, can hear me? I hear you, Aaron,
go right ahead?

Speaker 3 (10:49):
All right.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
So yesterday you all we're talking about the Trump That's nice, correct,
They had a secret Service agent on with Tom Hart.

Speaker 7 (10:57):
Yes, yeah, So I think in honor of Trump, living
and stuff, I think we need to sing a song in.

Speaker 9 (11:05):
Honor of Trump.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Oh. I don't know about this. I'm gonna sing it,
all right, Okay, we'll give you a couple of seconds.

Speaker 8 (11:13):

Speaker 11 (11:16):
Body so fun.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Fine somewhere I got a buzzer. All right, thank you man.
We appreciate the phone calls. Couldn't hear very well, but
uh sure it was a great song.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
That was not whiskey thief song.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Whiskey thief song of the day. We're probably gonna have
our Whiskey th song. Today at this next break, we'll
take our break, come back. We got some more Woodford
County thoughts. We got Emily from the Chamber of Commerce.
She's gonna join us as well.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
She brought us to the slushies.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
We've been wearing some slushes that we desperately need. So
that's why I want to take a break, because I
am burning up. We'll be right back. This is Kentucky's
sports radio, of course, this is Woodford County's own Sturgel Simpson.
Matt loves Sturgel Simpson. We've heard a lot of Sturgil
over the years on our road trips. Plays it a lot,
and you hear that voice and you immediately know it's
him there. Something about that voice is just magnetic.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Now, you just gave Sturgil away to Woodford County without
any consideration at all, to Breathitt County, which is where
he was born. So I know that he went to
Woodford County High School.

Speaker 5 (12:09):
Yes, but should brother get a part of Sturgill Simpson too,
he was born there after all.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Well, the only reason I say we're gonna give you
in Woodford count because if you asked Sturgil he says
he's from for sales.

Speaker 5 (12:19):
Okay, Yeah, he gets to decide.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
You know, Drew, do you agree?

Speaker 4 (12:24):
I mean, if the man says it's where he's from,
like I said, we can't call the liar.

Speaker 5 (12:27):
Where are you from?

Speaker 3 (12:28):
By the way, you have like like because he pointed
out Drew pointed out yesterday, you got three or four hometowns, Like,
where is your hometown?

Speaker 5 (12:34):
Well?

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Ind Okay, so there you go, population four hundred. Maybe
were you born there or you went to school? Well,
the hospital was in Jasper, but I lived in Otwell
when I was born. Hospital. Actually I was living in Shoals,
Indiana when I was born.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
So you got five hometowns, I do. Wow. Yeah, so
the man of many hometowns.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
Let's go over a couple more famous people from Woodford County.
I'm gonna go with Happy Chandler, governor of Kentucky, not once,
but twice. He was governor, didn't didn't win a term,
came back and won again. And of course he was
the second Commissioner of Baseball that helped integrate baseball.

Speaker 11 (13:09):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
There's a famous video of him singing my old Kentucky
Home on Senior Night for Kenny Walker and Roger Harden.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
We play that every year.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah, those three guys. So so we got Sturgel, Simpson,
Happy Chandler. How about William Shatner. Uh hah, yeah, not
from here, but he owns a horse farm here. Saddlebred
horse farm, I believe is the correct pronunciation of it.
It's called bell.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Yeah, definitely worth mentioning. Did you realize that William Shatner's
face was the inspiration for the mask in the movie Halloween,
the Michael Myers mask.

Speaker 5 (13:40):
That is a William Shatner mask.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
I've never heard this.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Yeah, that is an actual you know, they had, like
you know for Halloween, they had like William Shatner masks. Yeah,
they just kind of cut the eye holes out, I
think a little bit, and like and painted it.

Speaker 5 (13:53):
Yeah, painted it, no way.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
So next time you watch the movie Halloween, that's actually
William story going around with the knife.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
I got two more give you that I want, Judy
you goal. Sam Shephard had a farm here, lived here, Okay,
he passed away about I don't know, maybe five or
six years ago. And also technically Steve Zon lives in
Woodford County just down the road. This all this way,
just down the road this way, Yeah, is Steve's on.
So what do you got? Drew?

Speaker 4 (14:19):
H I had one. I didn't even know, but someone
wrote me. I'm trying to find the message. I can't,
but I'll just go off what I remember from it.
But the gold medalist League keeper, who we keep call
Laxington native, went to Dunbar but was actually born in
for Sales, I'm told, and currently lives there with her husband,
the other Olympic fencer.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Oh so she moved back. She lives here in wood
For County now.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
According to a DM I gotten can't find, but you
know that's what I'll read. It sounds good. I believe
she's from from Versails as well, not not a native
to there, but our our own Freddie Maggard loves Woodford County.
You know he's he's from the mountains, but he's lived
in Versails a long time.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yes, he has loves.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
The Versails Kroger. I mean I think he goes number
one four times a day.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
His pictures on the wall, Yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Mean just he just goes and walks around. Don't eve
mean anything, just how to people. So Freddie is probably
my favorite that still lives there. I've heard Chad Pennington
of NFL famed another Goodwin. He lives here's out there, Yes,
one native. I don't know if you will recognize again
foodie got here. Do you know who Weedam Michael is.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (15:16):
I know that is a very very very good, maybe
even world renowned chef. Has several restaurants around lots in Lexington,
Honeywood out at the Summit, like going, there's Zim's Cafe
down town. Yeah, the Holly Hill out this way. You,
I mean, you could go on and on, but anytime
she pops up a restaurant, you know it's gonna be good.
I'm a big fan of what she does.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
And she's from here.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
Also, yes, she is from here.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Well that's good. I mean really probably.

Speaker 4 (15:40):
Maybe one of the best best known chefs in Kentucky.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Out of the one hundred and twenty counties we did,
I mean Woodford counties bringing it. They got the places
of interest, they've got the historical factors, they've got famous people.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
So Smithtown's seafood you heard of that one accounts her. Yeah, Oh,
she's got all kinds of hits.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Joining us now representing the Chamber of Commerce is Emily
Danny endling down and that's right. Your husband was a
former Channel eighteen sports intern back in the day. You're
with the Chamber of Commerce. Have we hit everything we
need to talk about when it comes to Woodford County
and for sales in Midway?

Speaker 12 (16:11):
Yeah, I think you're just missing our four legged celebrities though.
We've got two triple Crown winners in American Pharaoh and Justify.
And then of course you know we have Don Lane.
The Queen is visited here.

Speaker 2 (16:21):

Speaker 4 (16:26):
It's just to Don Lane.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
His sister, Cindy Sharrock, one of the greatest realtors in
Woodford County. She still lives here the best. Yeah. So
what what what do you when somebody ask you about
Woodford County? What do you say?

Speaker 12 (16:37):
I say, it's the birthplace of Bourbon. We can back
that up with how far we go back with our
history from Jack Jewett and Woodford Reserve and Castle and
Key and Glenn's Creek and the source the water that
started It's a carson land that comes out behind our
courthouse all the way down, you know, an out to
feed all these great distilleries that we have so we're

(16:58):
the birthplace of Bourbon. But of course we know how
to do horse racing and not just third breads but
saddle breads. And there's a lot of new projects that
are coming here. It's totally being revitalized in both downtowns.

Speaker 4 (17:10):

Your band played here.

Speaker 5 (18:42):
I don't think we have Castle and Key sounds like
maybe a good place to do that.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Sound like a great chip. I can make that happen,
and you bring in Shannon the Dude and live. I
came here just for the Clark's Puppet Shop. They got
such great gas stations. I'll come all the way for
what to Woodford County, just for that.

Speaker 4 (18:54):
Listen, I'm counting down to that chicken sandwich at twelve.
I mean this this icey is good, it's cooled me off,
but that chicken sand.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Which is all on point.

Speaker 4 (19:01):
They did mention the Velosi's the restaurant. Ye, they had
like a bowl game last year. It was one of
our Kroger's games.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
The governor was supposed to do a coin toss. We
were having fun downtown. Then rain hit and me and
Freddie just set in his car for like an hour
outside this stadium, just catching up with Freddie. He's telling
me about Woodford County to kill time. He drove me around,
showed him his neighborhood. So we were supposed to be
there for some good high school football last fall and
ended up just spending night in Freddie's car learning more
about where he lived.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
You know, you asked Emily, what would you do in
a day out in Woodford County. If you asked Freddy,
he'd say, well, we'd go to Kroger first, then we
go to that Mexican restaurant. Then we'd go to a
Woodford County football game. That'd be his his night of
in Woodford County.

Speaker 4 (19:40):
Absolutely, and we keep mentioning it. But the downtown down there,
I mean, I like all a little small town. They're
downtown squares. Yeah, but Versailles does a really nice one.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
You know, we didn't mention Jasper Johnson. He lives in Lexton,
but of course he played a couple of years of
basketball Woodford County High School. He's the number one point
guard in the class right now. He's really a Woodford
County connection. Ray Jackson Drake Jackson played football at Kentucky,
now coaching with the Kentucky staff. Joe Carr maybe the
best wrestler this state has ever produced. Him and his son,

(20:10):
both Joe Senior and Joe Junior. So, I mean there's
some great athletes. We can go on on and on
and on and on about Woodford County in Versailles.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
This is one of our biggest county profiles. I think
just shows how much they have going on.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Eight five, nine, two to eighty seven. That's our cars's
pumping job phone number. And so who he got, Matt,
free Bird, go ahead, free Bird.

Yeah, I'm gonna miss your text messages every night. That
are the show topics for the next day. Well, it's
the most show prep I've been on the show for
a decade. It's the most show prep I've ever done.
This summer.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
I kind of do it for myself, kind of get
myself one. Okay, Well, we need to talk about I had
this note on the list for weeks we've never talked about.
Let's do it right now. The drink body Armor. You
know who one of their original investors was when they
made body Armor, Hoby Bryant.

Speaker 5 (22:14):
I saw it on your notes.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Oh, you saw it on my note.

Speaker 4 (22:16):
I knew that one.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
He invested six million dollars in body Armor. The drink,
the sports drink. They just sold it to Coca Cola
for five point six billion. Whoa five point six billion?
And Kobe was smart enough to invest in it six
million dollars way back in the day.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Well, I would say, I would say, just him investing
in it, probably the price a little bit.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
I remember, that's why we tried it. Oh, this is
Kobe's new drink, body Arm.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
We gotta try it, like when fifty got vitamin water
and he wanted a steak, not to be paid, and
then they sold off to Coca Cola for just tons
of money.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Tons of money. Rich. So Kobe Bryant, great player, great
businessman as well. All right, well take our break, come
back eight five nine two two two eight seven eight

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Thank you, mister dude. Now give you guys a little homework.
Last night, this came in on the Avision Glass text machine.
I thought it was a great question. Okay, you know,
uh Big Cat and PFT they always do their Mount.

Speaker 4 (24:43):
Rushmore, Oh, Mount Rushmore of everything.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Mount Rushmore of everything. Well, the question was who would
you put on your mount Rushmore of UK quarterbacks? You
only put four. You know, there's a lot of great options,
a lot of great choices, but I'm just kind of
curious to see who you guys would pick if you
had to pick four UK quarterbacks. I mean, Tim KSh
has had a birthday this week. Shout out to Tim Couch.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
Tim Couch.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
We just mentioned Will Levis being a junal delinquent and
jumping a fence and getting arrested in Italy. So who
wants to go first? Who is on your mount rushmore
of UK quarterbacks?

Speaker 4 (25:12):
Let go first? I feel pretty strongly about mine, Tim Couch. Yes,
he should be on everyone's list. Tim Couch, that era
is kind of what made me fall in love with
UK football when they were aer rating it out a
little bit. One of my all time favorite UK players,
the best quarterback to play for UK. Number one draft pick.
What do you have like twenty three.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Records, like school record, fifteen.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
SEC record, like four national records? We graduated, So I
think Tim Couch has to be on everyone's list.

Speaker 5 (25:40):
Yes, yeah, that's that's obvious.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
That's not so. Now we're down to three more, three
more spots.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
Keep going with another one that better be on everyone's
list of Jared Lorensen.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
Yep, Jared Lorenzen. I think has to be on there,
not just because we love Jared I mean, he was
as popular as any quarterback that's ever played here. So
I'm putting j Lo on there too.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
I think we can all agree on those stoves two.
Now it comes down to who is on your other half.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (26:02):
Yes, I just want to add with Jared. He's the
only quarterback to throw for ten thousand yards at UK.
But I don't care if he only threw for five yards.
That man would be on my mouth rushmore. Not just
because we got to know him later in life. He's
one of the examples you get to meet your hero.
I can't believe I did a podcast with Jared the
rerens it for so many years. As you know, he
was one of our great friends. We miss him dearly.
So he's on there for what he did on the

(26:22):
field and off the field, plus the nicknames and the
size I mean he is. He's an all time favorite.
He's on my Mount rushmore of just all football players,
not just quarterbacks.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
So we all agree, We've got two of the four.
We all agree on those two. Yeah, you got next,
let me keep going. Yeah, then we'll do our third.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
You know, I'm putting Freddy on there. Freddie Maggard's Freddy's
got to be on there.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
He's on mine.

Speaker 4 (26:44):
He recently, Will Levis comes around, maybe Steven Johnson. They
pushed him down the all time passing list a little bit.
I'm not sure his exact place. I hope it's still
close enough that he shows up in the stat book
and in the game notes. But you know, Freddie Quae
player himself was up there in the record books for
a long time. He's a guy that didn't uh would
like to run a little bit too, And of course

(27:05):
one of our dear friends.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
And of course he was even a punter. I mean,
he was multi talented, could have been a baseball pick,
could have been a baseball pitcher, played half the season
with a broken wrist for crying out loud. So I'm
putting Freddy, I didn't know if you were going to,
but I'm putting all my mount rushing those three.

Speaker 4 (27:18):
I don't even have to think about that. And Freddie
has been texting me this week. I guess he opened
some old trailer back home or something that he has
not looked at in maybe a decade, and he's been
sending me like his his letter of the letter, Yeah,
a scholarship offer, a letter from the governor in Old
Jersey that was just ripped off. I guess they had

(27:39):
tear away Jersey. There were somebody trying to tackle him
in his UK Jersey's ripped in half. So Freddie's been
sending me some blasts from the Freddy mger Pass this week,
and it's been fun looking at those two.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
The original number eighteen. It wasn't Jacob Dammy or Randall Cobb.
It was our boy, Freddie mcg.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
Absolutely, so those three, uh set in stone in my mind.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
I'm with you so far. Now this fourth one's gonna
be tough.

Speaker 4 (27:59):
I agree.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Give you some possibilogies.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
Yeah, we'll go.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
We'll backward the time, Babe Perilly. I think a lot
of some people will get.

Speaker 5 (28:05):
He's the one that I have on mind.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
He's on your I wanted to go old school, old
school like before my time for at least one pick. Yeah,
a guy who uh three for fifty touchdowns from nineteen
forty nine to fifty one. He took Kentucky to three
straight New Year's Day Bowl games. Also, it's the fourth
overall pick in the draft in the nineteen fifty two drafts.
So I'm going bab Perilly.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Derek Ramsey could be in a conversation just to just
talk to him. He came on the show. Those two
guys arguably were quarterbacks of the best teams in UK history.
Perilly on the team and he said, the one that
was at the Cotton Bowl. Yeah, and then of course
Derek Ramsey's team that went to ten and one.

Speaker 4 (28:40):
Uh fourth in the Heisman voting All America. Wow. We
don't have to many players in that Heusman conversation, but
he was one of them.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
You could throw in the mix. You could throw in
Bill Ransdell, who had a lot of the repassing records
before Couts came along and broke all of him.

Speaker 4 (28:53):
He's fifth on the all time yards list.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
See there you go. And then there's a lot of
the last.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
Quarterback to beat Tennessee during the uh we've since we've
since corrected that streak, but uh yeah, for the longest
time he was the tribute answer.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
I think his question was the last quarterback to beat
Tennessee and Florida. I think, okay, and he was it
was Bill Ransdale.

Speaker 4 (29:12):
Luckily we've gotten the balls a couple of times, so.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
I mean, there's a lot of other ones, Dusty Bonner,
Shane Boyd, Will Levis. I mean, we can throw him
in there, but I think our primary candidates probably Bade Perilly,
Derek Ramsey, Bill Ransdell. Who you putting on your four spot.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
Well, you didn't name him a fourth spot. Those are
all my honorable mentions. Yeah, Andre Woodson. Andre Woodson is out.
Two thousand and seven. That era I thought going to
the Music City Bowl was the pinnacle of Kentucky football.
I thought we were the greatest thing ever with Andre
Woodson throwing of those great receivers, Tammy Ed Woodyard on
the defense. So even though Perilli, Ransdell lots of great

(29:48):
people to come through throwing the ball, Woodson's my guy.
He's number one in career passing tds. He threw forty
touchdowns in two thousand and seven. So I had to
put Woodson in my in my fourth spot.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
I like all those picks, but you gotta pick one
right when you get one spot left. You can't pick
them all, you know. Ten wins for Kentucky and the
stoops era is something that before it happened, I never
thought I would see. And it happened with Will Lovis,
and it happened to I believe with Terry Wilson as well,
right at quarterback that year. So because of that, I
wanted to pick, you know, one old school player, one

(30:18):
you know, a couple from when I was growing up
in my time, and then one more current player.

Speaker 5 (30:22):
Because of that and because.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
They got to ten wins with him at quarterback, I'm
gonna put Will Levis on there.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
So you got Couch Lorenzen, Babe Perilli, and Will Levin.
That's right, you have Couch, Lorenzen, f Freddy, andre Andre Woodson.
I'm going Couch Lorenzen Freddy and Derrick Ramsey Ramsey. I mean,
you can't go wrong with Perilli or Ramsey just historically
just a great, great quarterback. But you know, Derrick Ramsey

(30:47):
also one of the first African American quarterbacks at Kentucky.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
He was the first.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
He was the first, that's try he did. He said
that he was the first one one They led him
to ten and one of just many considered the great
one of the greatest teams in Kentucky's ever had here.
So so it's a good debate on who to throw
in that four spot.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
After we did that show them a few days ago,
someone tweeted a highlight of him. We're talking about the
taraway jerseys. He's running down the sideline and the defenders
are actually ripping his jersey off, and he gets the
end zone basically in shoulder pads after scoring a touchdown.
It's a cool clip to see.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
All right, we'll go back on one more.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
Who's that Lynn Bowden? Well, true, he's not going on
the Mount rushmore, but if we were to do the
top eight, I might have him in there.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
I think I told you that. Somebody the only social
media account said the people they regretted the college football
game didn't come out when he played. Lamar Jackson was
number one, like Bowden was number five. To have him
play on this college football game, he'd have been unstoppable
running around. All right, we'll go back to the phone
lines eight five nine two A two two eight seven
as our Clark's Puppet Shop phone numbers were live from

(31:43):
clarks Puppet Shop at Midway. Who we got, Matt double D?
I was wondering, if you're gonna get into today, double D?
How are you?

Speaker 5 (31:49):
My friend? Some of us have to work well, Andrew.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
We understand, but if there's anybody that represents Woodford County.
It is Darren Douglas double D. So what do you
got for is Darren Well.

Speaker 10 (32:01):
I was listening to Emily and and of course Grayson
a little bit earlier. There's one thing that historically, I mean,
Woodford County is probably in the heart of the state
of Kentucky if you put it up on sand and
equated to the human body. But it also looks like
the state of Kentucky if you look at it, just
PLoP it down like the bottom part on Tennessee. But

(32:24):
I'll tell you when there's one thing that a lot
of people don't know, and it's and it's I don't
know for a famous Ford or infamous, but Frank and
Jesse James robbed their first bank in western Kentucky in Russellville, right.
They came back to Midway, Kentucky and hid out there
at the crossroads from for Sale to Midway at that

(32:44):
ass of Cole Tavern. Their mother was the innkeeper there.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
I love it. So Jesse James hit out in Midway
running for the police. Frank and Jesse, both Frank and Jesse.
Frank and Jesse both Yeah, Shannon just let him pulled
up the county and you're right about It does look
like the state of Kentucky a little bit.

Speaker 10 (33:03):
It does just mark off the McCracken County down or
Fulton County down there in the west and knark Off
Pike County. You got to the state of Kentucky.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
Do you have any other good stories on Jesse James.
I knew you'd have something like that.

Speaker 10 (33:16):
Well, I do when I got into the business, Ryan,
and you know how long I've been in at my
very first interview was the first two. My very first
was Happy Chandler. I was fifteen. I got very nervous, Wow,
and I actually sat in the chair. Actually, a lot
of people don't know this, and I've been trying to

(33:37):
get with Major League Baseball and get them to recognize
the fact that Happy Chandler and Jackie Robinson did not
sit in New York City insign his contract, he said
in for Sales, Kentucky in the log cabin behind Happy's house.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
I didn't know that really, And I.

Speaker 10 (33:55):
Got and I got to sit in the cent in
the rocket chair that Jackie sat him.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
Jackie Robinson signed his first contract played for the Dodgers
in a cabin in versails.

Speaker 5 (34:06):
Yeah, that's pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
That checks.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
That's awesome. What a great story.

Speaker 5 (34:11):
Double Well, and you know and.

Speaker 10 (34:14):
Yeah, and you talked about the you know with stuff
that we're known for, but you got we got a
lot of horse farms here besides those that you mentioned.
You know, we have three chimneys, we have uh air
dree stud and things like that. Just a lot of
wonderful places. Go see it. If you gotta go see
anything in Wichford County, just go out in the country
and drive on a road. It doesn't matter what you see.

(34:35):
You will see some of the greatest senior you've seen,
uh anywhere in the state of Kentucky. Double guy, just
call me Ryan, you know how to get in touch
with you, right, all right, I'm.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
So glad you got in to share those facts. Well,
I'm sorry, I go to a break, but I appreciate
Double D mister Woodford County right there, he kind of
Jesse James has been here, man. How about that hiding
down in Versailles.

Speaker 5 (34:54):
That and Jackie Robinson's signing.

Speaker 4 (38:56):
Room if he's not on a golf course.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
I want to share one more short story you guys
before our run is over here. This summer we talked
about Will Levis, but I also want to talk about
the guy last year Ray Davis. Ray Davis is now
a member of the Buffalo Bills, and we all know
his story. He was at one time a foster student
and he has now parlaid that into his mission in life.

(39:20):
And he has teamed up with an organization in Buffalo
Fostering Greatness, and they had a big event in the
past week or so to help collect items like clothes
and suitcases for foster kids in the Buffalo area. And
I mean, you guys, you know my history. I'm a
big advocate of foster care. Two of my boys were
in the foster care system before we adopted him. And

(39:42):
for him now to give his time, effort and money
to help other foster kids is awesome. And the reason
they're doing I'm gona tell you why they're doing suitcases.
So so many times when they go to pick up
a kid and put them in foster care, they throw
all their clothes and stuff in a garbage bag. So
the kids are walking around with a garbage cag with
their clothes and their shoes and stuff on it. And

(40:02):
so there's been these organizations that have really gone out
and made a way to give suitcases so these kids
feel like they mean something. You know, they don't just
throwing their stuff in a garbage bag.

Speaker 4 (40:12):
Garbage goes in a garbage bag, not somewhat to this an.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Yes, So I just applaud Ray Davis. I mean, he
was only here one year, but I think he touched
a lot of people with his story. And you know,
I don't think he meant for it to come out
the way it did, but it did. And I think
now he's embraced it, drew and is now part of
his life and what his mission is.

Speaker 4 (40:31):
Yeah, it's good to see guys that go to the league,
you know, and give a little money. You can do
whatever you want with that. But he's choosing to do
good with what he's doing away from the field. And
he's also competing for RB two in Buffalo for what
could be a contender this year. So exciting things ahead
for him, and I'm glad he's using his platform for good.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
I know that's a you know, something just near and
dear to your heart, and that's you know, a cool
thing that Ray Davis is doing, doing big things.

Speaker 5 (40:55):
So I'm really proud of him. Of course, you know,
the God that we all love. Like I said, only
here for a year, but really cool to hear that story.

Speaker 4 (41:02):
And with the poorer we have guys just stopping by
for a little bit. I wish we could have had more.
Lady Davis, he was so fun that Florida game last year.
Is an all time favorite, running all over them.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
He's now the answer to a great trivia question that
most people won't answer. Who owns the single season touchdown
record in UK football history? People forget It's now Ray Davis.
He passed Benny Snell for touchdowns in a season last year.
He is now the record holder.

Speaker 4 (41:26):
Also a dude that has one thousand yards at three
different Schools's Amaze's pretty impressive Temple Vandy and than what
he did last year.
