Speaker 4 (00:56):
Smith Loves you.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Call TJ. He'll make them pay. Uh. Drew is on
vacation for the next week and a half. We will
be sans Drew, which means it's a smaller group today,
I got Ryan Lemon, I got Shannon, but we're all
in three different places. Shannon, you had me a little
worried when we started the show because you said with
a minute and a half to go that we had

(01:18):
no Ryan Lemon again because he still didn't know how
to run the board.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Uh huh.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
And I was sitting there, you know, I was actually
going through I was taking the vibes of our caller
from Hayneman yesterday. You remember our caller from He sat
in the garden and tried to think of positive thoughts,
and I said, okay, should I go sit on the
floor there and try to think positive thoughts before Ryan

(01:43):
is not on here? And then he found away Shannon
to get on right before it started. So I didn't
have to use my not County meditation because he did
find a way to.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Get true, he didn't have to run to a garden
and sit there and meditate.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
We do have this, and I was about to because
he you know, it was one thing if he hadn't
done it yesterday, But then if two days in a
row he had found a way to not be on Shannon,
then I think we were gonna need the meditation.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Unless he finds some random number that we need to call,
you know, like yesterday with Dan Skirka.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Dan Skirk as good as Dan skirk is. That's a
one day thing. It's not a two day excuse. But
he is on here. Ryan, Uh, I'm glad you found
a way to get connected.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
Yeah, third day in a row. We've tried to get
that studio set up. And I'm telling you, Billy's.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Who's the WI by the way, Shannon, the WI is he?
There's no one else there.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Gus and I've been on the phone trying to set
it up. I'm telling you Billy's value. He's so vaable
to this department is stock keeps going up and up
and up because we cannot figure out how to get
that studio set up.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, it's probably one button, it's why.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
One But no one could argue, Shannon. I'm not gonna
argue it because I'm in my Hindman meditations, right, But
one could argue that if it didn't work yesterday, you
might stay after yesterday until you got it to work, Shannon,
so that you would know it would work the next day.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, that was a possibility that could have had.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
A possibility, And maybe I would suggest since I'm going
to be in that studio tomorrow, Shannon, maybe I wuld
suggest he should do that for tomorrow, just as just
as a thing to say. Now, I'm i was in
Washington this weekend, and now I'm in New York. I'm
coming back this afternoon, and I'm sitting here looking Ryan.
I'm probably on the fiftieth floor of this building, okay,

(03:31):
and I'm looking across the way. It's an amazing view
of the I think that's the Hudson River, and there
are all these like huge buildings everywhere, you know, who
knows how many stories. I'm on the fiftieth and some
of these tower open me, so let's just say one
hundred stories.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
And I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
If it's because it's Wednesday or what, but a number
of these buildings, like probably ten of them have people
washing windows right now, right, And I'm sitting here looking
this this. These people right in front of me, they're
probably on the sixty fifth floor outside the building, like
hanging in one of those little machines, and they're sixty

(04:10):
five floors up washing the windows. And this one's probably
forty five floors up. And I'm sitting here watching this
and I'm thinking to myself, I cannot imagine a job
outside of being a lifeguard at a children's pool that
I would hate worse than hanging from the sides of

(04:31):
these buildings cleaning windows, Ryan, I would think it's got
to be the most terrifying job on the planet.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
Right, Agreed, those guys are nutjobs. They are out there
and if there's a big wind, gusts come on in there.
I've seen them here.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
They're like float These guys are not like floating, They're
not like repelling, like they're in a little cart that goes.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
Up and no way, not a chance. No, that's those
guys are nutjobs. I don't think we need to disparage
the character and.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
Call them nuts.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
So we need clean windows an important job.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
We really need to clean the windows the hour building.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yes, I mean, can you imagine if you didn't clean
the window ever she cares filthy? It would be to
see You wouldn't be able to see out of the window.
The whole point of having a window is to see
out of it, and if it's filthy, you wouldn't be
able to do it. Shan't it right?

Speaker 6 (05:24):
Right?

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah, there's no way that I could do that. You
know that I'm afraid of heights. I don't want to
be up in the air at all, and definitely not
going to be up on the side of a skyscraper
trying to How much.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Do you think like that job? How much do you
think it needs? You know, you need to be paid
to do a job like that. Like, there are certain
jobs that I think the undesirability of them leads people
to get paid a lot more.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
It's like sanitation workers.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
They actually make, especially in some cities, really good money
because you know, people don't want to work with with garbage,
So sanitation worker in some cities actually can do really
well chanting, would you consider a job like that to
be like I, let's say I gave you one and
a half times your salary of what you make right now. Okay, okay,

(06:15):
And I told you for one and a half times
the salary you're making right now. Your job is to
go out and clean windows on skyscraper? Are you doing it?

Speaker 2 (06:25):
I would want to do it.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
I don't know one point five times as much as
you make.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
How so forty thousand dollars a year?

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Okay, you listeners, don't let him puol.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
You Okay, don't let him fool you.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
I know that he's living the high life. How you
think he's got all those pumpkins in his car?

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Don't let him full you knows? Yeah, I would, I would,
you would. I would want to do it. I don't
know if I could. I guess I would have to
do it. If I signed on for the contray.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
One and a half times your salary, so you don't
have to do the door nash or of that stuff.
One and a half times your salary, but you just
have to clean these windows on the skyscrapers.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
I would love to do it. There's no way I
could do it.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
I couldn't do it, all right, I could, so Shannon's in.
I've already signed Shannon for one and a half times.
He's an easy negotiator. Ryan two times your salary, now
windows three times your sald higher.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
All right, I'm done.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
He doesn't get it, he loses the offer, Shade, you
get to do the job.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
I was gonna go to five.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Well, you're not getting it, although he's crazy not to.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Well, now that I would, you're a salary, i'd do it.
Hold on, now that I know what you're willing to
go to two times.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
This is why, Shannon, this is why I told you
all years ago, you need to let.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
Me negotiate your radio.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Tell me all agree for too little.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Okay, you're my guy. You're gonna be my my agent.
I've got one come out.

Speaker 5 (07:52):
Would you do it, Matt, Would you be out there
hanging out on the side of a billion, one hundred
stories up in the air and cleaning windows?

Speaker 4 (07:57):
I mean, if you got me to no, I would
hate it.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
But there. I think with any job that you would
get to an amount of money where you would where
you would do it. Well, not any job, but but
but a lot of jobs. I think there's for the
people who do it. I do wonder if there's like
a level of freedom to just being out by yourself
in this little cart all day. You probably don't have
anybody telling you what to do. Maybe somebody listening has

(08:25):
done it, and maybe it's not even scary. Maybe you
get used to it. I don't know, but I'm sitting
here watching these guys literally as we're speaking, and I
actually think it's pretty amazing. I think there's I do
wonder what they make because it's got to be because
you're you're right, if it's windy, it's gonna blow.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Back and forth. Yes, so I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Let me say, I'm just trying to look up and
see exactly how much it is.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
Okay, see if you can find out what they mean,
I'd be fascinating.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
I would say in New York this is just a guess.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
But I would think in New York because the cost
of living is a lot higher here, I'd say they
make between like seventy five and ninety thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (09:01):
Right, I've already got Anya.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
What is this?

Speaker 2 (09:03):
According to zip recruiter. I don't know if you'd trust
that as a source or not. It says they earn
between thirty six thousand and forty six thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
In New York City. Now that that what?

Speaker 3 (09:15):
First of all, I challenged that in New York City
because minimum wage here, Oh no, it's like sixteen dollars.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
However, salary ranges can very widely based on factors like location, experience,
and type of work. Yeah, some high rise window cleaners,
particularly in big cities with many skyscrapers, can earn over
eighty thousand.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
There you go, That's that makes a lot more sense
to me.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
I would think that that's about what you would make
in a place in a place like New York. In Lexington,
I could see it being forty or forty five, But
in New York to be in these buildings, I would
think you'd have to do it now. I also had
another message that someone wanted to share. Someone from Middlesbrough.
Shannon wrote me, who is a friend of mine whose

(10:00):
grandmother listens to the show. Okay, so I don't know
his grandmother, but I have to think since this a
friend is in their thirties, the grandmother's probably got to
be in the eighties or nineties. And she wrote her
grandson because she wanted to pass on a message to you,
Shannon that she thought was very important to pass on
to you, which I thought was very sweet you wanted

(10:22):
me to say to you. Please tell Shannon that if
he's growing pumpkins, he has to be diligent or the
vines on the pumpkins will take over his yard and
his neighbor's garden, and his neighbor will end up being mad.
Pumpkin vines grow quicker than kudzu. As Mat and Matt

(10:43):
knows what kudzu can do, Please tell Shannon to watch
the pumpkin vines. So I'm now passing on that message
that you need to be careful with the pumpkin.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
But thank you for that message. I will do what
I can, but you know I can't promise anything. I mean,
his garden comes over on my property. I can't promise
that my pumpkin vines might not go to his property.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
You're not going to try to stop.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
He didn't stop breaking ground when he came over to
my property. So I'm just saying, you know, pumpkin.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
There is I don't know this because I don't still
do this, but I bet there's law in Kentucky about
whose fault it is if vines for one person's property
get onto the other. I don't know what that law
would be, but I would bet you that law exist.
As your unofficial legal counsel, I would tell you to
be careful with your vines. Like you can't just say well,

(11:37):
I can't help it my vines with over there. It
could still be your response.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
The good thing is I've known this guy since I
was a kid, so we are very friendly, very neighborly,
and you think.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
He'll be friendly if your puppkin vines take over his.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
House I mean, I know. I'll give you an example.
I didn't even ask for him to do this, but
I see on my ring doorbell camera yesterday a big
long extension corps going across my front yard. I'm like,
what is that. I come home. He had trimmed my
shrubbery in front of my house. So I'm like, you know,
this guy's vines go over to his property. So we're good,
all right, good, all.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Right, we're talking. You're good. I just wanted to I
wanted to make sure, so passing that message on thank
you to you. It is ask anything Wednesday. We got
the three of us. You can ask any question you want.
We will reserve the right to not answer the worst ones.
But other than that, we will answer whatever else it

(12:28):
is that you want to say. I saw an article
yesterday that I want you to think about here right,
all right. The question was is Kentucky still the king
of basketball in the SEC? Obviously you go throughout history
since the nineteen forties. I went for a walk on

(12:49):
Monday and I went to I walked past CCN. Why
do you know remember CC? And why who played for
the National Championship Track in the forties and cc and
why City College in New York at one point was
one of the best college basketball programs in the country.
And then the gambling scandal that Kentucky got caught up

(13:10):
into CC and why basically shut down their program because
of the scandal, and of course have never been the same.
And I had never seen that campus, and I was
walking up in Harlem and I saw it and I
was like, Wow, this is CC and why that I've
heard about all the years. But since the days of
CC and why, Kentucky has been the king of SEC basketball?

(13:32):
Do you still think based on the last five years
where Alabama in Auburn and even Tennessee and now Florida
have had the success they've had, can we still today
historically clearly we're the king of the SEC? But can
we today call ourselves the king of SEC basketball?

Speaker 5 (13:58):
I'm gonna say today we can't. We've not won an
SEC tournament in what six seven years? We've not even
been to the weekend of the SEC tournament in the
last week I've won.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
The statistics are since twenty eighteen, we've won either the
SEC regular season or the SEC tournament only once. So
that's fourteen possible titles in that period. And we have won.

Speaker 5 (14:25):
I don't think you can call us the king today
then with what you just.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
Said, Shannon, no, can we call it still call ourselves
the king of SEC basketball today?

Speaker 4 (14:36):
No?

Speaker 2 (14:36):
And I don't know who really can. I mean, it's
been You've had good teams like Alabama's been great, you know, Florida, Tennessee.
I don't know that there's one dominant team that you
would call the king of the SEC and college basketball.
I think there's Yeah, you may be.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
Right about that.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
I mean, I think Alabama's probably had the most consistent
success in the last.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Four or five years.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
But Auburn's been good, Tennessee's been good, Florida's just won
the National chie Championship.

Speaker 5 (15:01):
And Florida's poised to be loaded again next year.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
Yeah, I don't know that's a very good point. There
may not be ah king, but I don't know that
I had ever thought about it like that, that I'd
ever thought about you know, we still we're still the
most prominent program, We're still the historically best and I
don't think it's even clothes, But I do wonder if

(15:27):
we can still call ourselves that. And one of I
think Mark Pope's jobs is gonna be we have to
go reclaim that title. As good as the SEC was
last year, it's not gonna be nearly as good this year.
Alabama's gotten worse, Auburn's gotten worse. I mean, Tennessee's gotten worse.
Florida and Kentucky should be the two best teams in
the conference next year. But I do wonder. I do

(15:51):
think it's it's something I hadn't thought about. I do
think it might be an issue.

Speaker 5 (15:54):
We didn't like those signs that were up in the game,
you know, blue Blood marked out new Blood.

Speaker 4 (15:59):
But to be honest, there may be some truth to that.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah. If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven,
it's ask anything Wednesday. We'll take a break. Shannon's watching
out for his pupkins. This is this case, welcome back,
take you sports Radio. If I'm nine two, eight oh
twenty two eighty seven, one person rights, Matt. I have
cleaned windows on skyscrapers before. That was my job when
I was younger. You're exactly right. It's nice to have

(16:24):
the freedom to do a job where nobody bothers you.
And when you clean someone's window, if they're looking out,
they usually wave and are nice. I didn't think about that, Shain.
And you're looking in people's windows, you probably kind of
see some cool stuff sometimes, don't you think you shouldn't
be seeing.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
You know, but people don't have their curtains drawn, and
they have I bet those guys have pretty good stories
when they just pop onto somebody's window, and I would
they get up to send out like a memo like
hey we're coming next week on Tuesday, you know, nine o'clock.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
Yeah, you're probably right about that.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
One person, rights Matt, my daughter graduating from CCNY eight
years ago. You were way up there in Harlem. I
thought it was a very cool area. But it's unlike
anywhere else I'd ever been, That's true, Right, So I
walked from fiftieth, So I walked from You've been to
New York, right, you know where thirty.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
Rock is, right, yes?

Speaker 3 (17:19):
And then so I worked from thirty Rock to one
hundred and forty fifth and Lenox or what's now one
hundred and forty fifth of Malcolm X up in Harlem,
and it is unlike anywhere I've ever been. The street
which used to be called Lenox Avenue and I think
now is called Malcolm X.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
Boulevard is like awesome.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
I mean, food restaurants, people everywhere. And this is in
the middle of the afternoon or middle of the evening
on a Monday, but it was very cool. I'd never
been up that way. I just decided to go for
a you know, thirteen mile walk day. But I really
liked it. You you should go sometimes. It's unlike the

(18:00):
New York people who go visit Times Square, et cetera.
It's unlike what you what you're used to. It's just
a different kind of thing.

Speaker 5 (18:07):
So I've always wondered when you do that, do you
just kind of just pick someplace to eat at random
because you really don't can't research all that.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
I went to there's a place up there that's famous,
I think call it's called Stella's. It's like they do soul.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
Food, and I wanted to go there.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Yeah. I walked up there at two third or I
don't know what it was, I guess four thirty or
five thirty in the afternoon.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
There was a long line, but I waited and it
was great.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
But yeah, I just, you know, I think the best
way to discover a city is to walk it, and
so I did that and it was fun. Again, I
would have never run into CC and wife I had true,
which is a good I mean, that was one of
the that was the equivalent Ryne back in the day
of Yukon as a basketball program many you know, for
a lot of our older listeners that remember.

Speaker 5 (18:49):
That, I didn't even know it was still in existence.
To be honest, it's huge.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
The school's huge, Like it's takes up four or five
blocks wow of New York City. It's a huge city.
I don't know about their sports teams anymore. Yeah, but
you know, one person, rights, Matt, Yes, we are still
the king of the SEC. It will take twenty five
years of Alabama, Auburn or Florida being as good as

(19:15):
we are to even come close. Do you agree with that, Ryan?

Speaker 5 (19:19):
Yeah, but we've talked about are we king today? At
this moment, we are all obviously the overall king of
the SEC. Will we will be for a long time,
But at this moment, I don't know if we can
claim that title today.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
Would you say, next to us, who's second? Is it Florida?
Even though historically, I mean you go back in time,
Florida basketball was irrelevant, but they do have three national championships,
and nobody else in the SEC. I mean, who else
in the SEC even has won? I mean Arkansas has won.

(19:52):
Tennessee doesn't even have a final four of the final four,
they never even been to a final four. Auburn has
well have a final four, final four, Alabama has two
or three? Maybe, yeah, does anyone else in the SEC
even have? Georgia I think has a final four.

Speaker 5 (20:11):
Like in the eighties, Mississippi State went to the final
form of ninety.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
Six, that's right, the LSU.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
LSU has been a couple times. LSU went the year
they beat US in eighty six, they went with big
baby uh in Tim Thomas or not Tim Thomas or
whatever that guy's name was.

Speaker 5 (20:31):
But nobody's won a title but US.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
I mean, it's gonna be Florida, right, Florida Florida titles.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
It's gotta be Florida.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Because I don't I think until Florida went to the
and won their national championships, I think they only had
I think Norm Sloan went to the Final four once
and then Billy went to one before he won it,
I think once. But yeah, it's probably it's probably Florida,
which tells you how bad in some ways. The history
of the other programs is who's up first? Jason, Jason,

(21:02):
Go ahead, Jason. It's ask anything Wednesday, go for it?

Speaker 7 (21:06):
Ain't man, Good morning guys. Uh, Well, since if ask
anything Wednesday, I want to give. I want to. I
would call this a hindsight hypothetical. It's what I've wondered
about for a while, so I want to. He was
The thoughts on it are so go back to I
guess twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three, when DJ Wagner
was a senior in high school. Yes, it was so

(21:29):
highly recruited. Yeah, what do you think the odds? What
do you think the odds that Caliperry might still be
at Kentucky and Kenny Payne been at Louisville if DJ
had decided to go to Louisville, that's a question.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
Well, Kenny would not be there, right because Kenny, I mean,
no disrespect to him, although this is I guess disrespectful
but also true. He can't coach.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
I mean he just can't. He won six games.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
So I don't think DJ Wagner would have changed anything
for Kenny. Would it have changed something for Kentucky? Let's
say he doesn't come here. That leads Rob Dillingham to
have to start at point guard or Read Shepherd to
start at point guard. Ran do you think did John
Calperry is still the coach in that scenario.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
It's an interesting scenario to talk about because those either
one of those guys starting at point guard could have
made a huge difference in a team that was really
good to begin with. Maybe they could have made a
bigger run in March. Maybe they could have gotten by
Oakland with a better with a different point guard.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
So yeah, I don't know. I mean, the DJ Wagner
thing is interesting. I think the problems on that team
were a lot deeper than DJ Wagner. I think it
was just the overall I think there was a lot
of junk around the program. I don't think cow was
in a good headspace, so I think it's a lot.
I don't think that would have changed Louisville's fate at all,

(22:48):
but it would be interesting to see if that had happened,
how we would have done that.

Speaker 5 (22:52):
Yes, yes, I agree, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
Could have gone. That's a good question. We'll take a
break right back. Scut you Sports Radio, did you hear
the question TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
He'll make them pay. Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio
present it by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
What is this awfulness?

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Well, this is Chase McDaniel. I don't know who that is.
I thought maybe you would know.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
But as I was sitting, is this a rapper or
is it supposed to be like a.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
I think he's a country music country music singer, but during.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
That it's not. But during that hurt it up for
a second, just turned up for a second. That's awful,
all right, So that's the worst kind of music that exists.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Anyway, During the last segment, I could hear somebody yelling
outside the studio and I'm like, what is that is that?
I thought maybe it was Vanetta yelling at somebody, but
then it kept going on. So during the break, I
poked my head out at the studio and I hear
somebody singing, and I go, well, who's that? And they
said Chase McDaniel.

Speaker 3 (23:54):
So that guy's performing.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Now, yeah, yeah, he's he's singing to the sales people
right now. He's like in the sales pitch because we
don't have like an auditorium like we used to at
the other station. So now it's just like an open z.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
So he's just in there, like singing to the salespeople.

Speaker 5 (24:09):
Yeah, I think he's a Kentucky guy.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
Oh well, then he's good.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
Like he's really good.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
I got you clip automatically just because of where he's born.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
Now, I mean, I'm not gonna be against it.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Can look at the guy. You know, I don't like
this kind of music. But where's he from? Ryan?

Speaker 5 (24:25):
We have to look it up, but I think he's
from Like, how do you know Kentucky? I've heard of him.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
You've heard of him?

Speaker 4 (24:33):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (24:35):
Yeah, they used to have back in the for When
I first started working at, iHeart one of the cool
things Shannon. You know this is that singers would come
by and just perform sometimes. Yeah, I mean famously, like
one of my first my first year working there, Sheryl
Crow just showed up one day and started singing, and
it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

(24:56):
She's singing like are you strong enough to be my man?
And it felt like you just singing to me and
Terry Miners, and I was like, I feel like we
are at least I am. I don't know about old
man miners over there, but we.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Used to have random celebrities just coming there, Like one
Dave Stiffler's mom, Jennifer Coole is just just walking to
the hallways like that Stifflers.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
That doesn't happen anymore, but there was. That was when
we first started.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
That was cool.

Speaker 5 (25:19):
They would just have these Arcotty McCready came in. I
know one time in the Lexton building. I mean, who's that.
Who's Scotty mccreey. He was a voice. I think he
won the voice or something. Orrick has got talent.

Speaker 3 (25:31):
He's I don't feel like that's the same level. Sheryl
Crow and Stiffler's Scott is really popular.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
Now he okay. Chase McDaniels from Greensburg, Kentucky.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
Oh okay, that's home of the Dumas Walker, the Slawburger,
Fried Bottle of Skeet.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Right, Greensburg, Greensburgsburg. Yeah, well good for h Our first
color today was from Greensburg. Was It's sort of odd timing,
but yeah, really yeah, because it's greens Caller and a
Greensburg for.

Speaker 5 (26:01):
Forty Wait a minute, that's a little freaky.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
That now that is a little freaky because that sounds tiny.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah, Greensburg, Greensburgh's taking over.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
Huh well, there you go, all right, a fem nine
two eight oh twenty two to eighty seven. Uh one
person rights, Matt. We get the most people who come
to our games when we're on the road to boo us,
that makes us the king of the sec Yeah, I
mean again. Okay, So who won in that last two
of the last three national championships? Yukon Florida wins last year.

(26:30):
I don't even know who won before Yukon. Who was
the Was it Baylor that won it the year before that?

Speaker 5 (26:35):
Maybe one of those years they did?

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Yeah? Yeah, all right, so Baylor. So let's just say Baylor.
Let's just take Baylor Yukon in Florida and just use
those as an example. Those are the last three national
title winners. What are who's gonna get more opponents to
come see them on the road, Baylor Yukon in Florida
or Kentucky Duke in North Carolina.

Speaker 5 (26:55):
There's no doubt Kentucky.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
It's gonna be Kentucky Duke in North Carolina. So it
just depends on what your what your definition is. But
The same thing is true in football, right like, Okay,
so the Eagles and the Chiefs and the Bills, Yeah,
those are the best teams. But if the Cowboys come
to town, it's the Cowboys, right like it's the it's

(27:19):
the brand of the Cowboys. It's the brand of the Yankees,
and Kentucky and Duke and Carolina and then to a
lesser extent, Kansas that Ryan, that's the brand of college basketball.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
So it all just depends on what you.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
Mean by by king.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
Yes, in that reference, they are, without a doubt one
of the Kings of basketball and probably always will be.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
But at the.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
Moment today in the SEC, are they the king? Got
to get to the weekend of the SEC tournament To
get in that conversation.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
You do need to get to the week I may
have mentioned this on this show, I know I mentioned
it on ESPN. They had a stat of the of
the most watched first round games of the last ten
years in the NCAA Tournament, and the top ten games
were all the same. They were either two powerhouse programs

(28:06):
playing each other, so like this past year, Arkansas and Kansas,
or it was Kentucky and Duke playing anybody, right, Kentucky
because that's what it is.

Speaker 5 (28:17):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
See, it is either two brands play each other or
just Kentucky and Duke playing anybody. That's what college basketball
in some ways is, and Kentucky just has to make
sure we stay on that plane. And I think Mark
Pope is gonna have us do it.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Who's next game?

Speaker 3 (28:36):
Game?

Speaker 6 (28:36):
Go ahead, Gabe, So maya ask anything Wednesday? Question is
if you guys could take any real petty thing and
make it punishable by jail time, what would it be?
And I'll give you an example, because we've been talking
the past couple of weeks about the Zipper Merge. The
one that I don't hear anybody talk about is that

(28:56):
situation where you have like two lanes, one for a
turn lane on the straight lane, the straight lane gets
real backed up and somebody drives all the way to
the end of that empty turn lane. And so if
you can I think that's five or ten years in prison.
So what do you guys think about?

Speaker 4 (29:16):
Yeah, that's a good point. Anybody who would do that, Shanon,
that would be.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
A bad you'd be broadcasting from prison right now, if
though this.

Speaker 3 (29:22):
Would be that would be a bad thing to do. Well, yeah,
all right, so I appreciate the call. I'm trying to think,
I would say, allowing your children to scream in a
restaurant and not even attempting to get them to quiet down.
I I understand Ryan that there are way that there

(29:43):
are times you can't control your children because they have
a mind of their own, et cetera. But when I
go to a place and somebody just lets their child
scream or even worse, run around and like run into
people's space and they don't even try, they kind of
have a look of like, what are you gonna do?

(30:04):
I'm I know people don't like when I say stuff
like this, and they go, well, wait till you have kids,
you gotta at least try. And I feel the same
way about people and their dogs. You know, if you
let your dog, like you know how meny time Shanning,
somebody has a dog like come up and start licking me,
and they're like, oh, it's friendly, don't worry, but I
don't want your dog licking me either way, Like.

Speaker 8 (30:26):
It's not you know, you know what, but you know
what I mean, Like they they let their dog come
up and slurp on you, and then they say, oh,
don't worry he's friendly.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
I don't like him friendly or not.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
I don't need dogs saliva on.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
For some reason, we give dogs and cats a pass.
If it were like a big snake and somebody puts
this on you and goes, oh, don't worry, he's friendly.
He's would accept that. You would he get that thing
away from me, you know.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
I mean, you're not gonna let your chicken just peck
on me and then go, oh, don't worry, it's a
nice chicken. But people seem to think that did you
want their dogs hump in your leg? And I don't,
So those would be the two things for me, Ryan,
Is there something for you people.

Speaker 5 (31:07):
Who let their dog poop in my front yard? I
would probably put them punishable by death.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
But don't you let your dogs like howl into the night.
Why is that any different?

Speaker 5 (31:17):
Well, they they go to sleep at night, they they
bark sometimes.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
But you have let your dogs, like just you've talked
about it.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
You've just let them yelp and you leave them outside
to like, don't you do the same thing.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
We've we've gotten much better with the dogs that they've
gotten older, so we you know, try to.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
By the way he acknowledged he does that.

Speaker 5 (31:39):
But the people the pooping thing, I would definitely that
that's definitely punishable by death. You come and poop in the.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
Yard, I think that is a crime, isn't it to
let your like if you don't clean up after your dog,
is it.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Can get definitely a h a neighborhoods for sure.

Speaker 5 (31:55):
We were just kind of the same thing. We talked
about the zipper merge. But the people at McDonald's that like,
don't don't do the zipper merge kind of get in
front of you in the line with like when they're
supposed to wait for you. That's that should be punishable
by death.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
So you don't like the zipper merge where it should
be used.

Speaker 5 (32:11):
No, they don't take their turn. They don't take their turn,
like they jump in front of you. They zip in
front of you when it's your turn.

Speaker 3 (32:18):
I don't know what you're talking about. You have people
that change lanes in your McDonald's drive through.

Speaker 5 (32:24):
I've it's definitely happened.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
Yes, Wow, Well he's going to some anarchy, hey like
anarchy drive through? So what about you were.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
I'm thinking really hard trying to figure one out. But
there's you know, like when you go like let's say
you're at like McDonald's, for instance, and there's somebody in
front of you and they can't figure out what they're
trying to order, and they just stand in there and
they look at the menu and they've been standing there
for ten minutes trying. You know, they could have figured
it out by now.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
But now, Sammy Donald's, you know what I mean, it's
the same They got the same food they've always had.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Takes you ten minutes to play as an order. I'm like,
figure it out already. You should already have this figured
out before you get there. But yeah, that one drives
me crazy.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
I can totally. I can totally go with that. When
people sit there at the drive through and.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
Black, I like a big bac.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
But leave it to mate. It's like you are at McDonald's.

Speaker 4 (33:15):
You get what you get. You know, this is not
a habit.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
Your way, just order it, hell man. But and may
raise a glass for the casts. Club Blue just the
official aisle.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
What what a transition?

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Il Club Blue is the official n I L fundraising
partner of the University of Kentucky, and they've teamed up
with Bespoken spirits to create a standout bourbon collection for
UK student athletes at the at the ks R Golf Scramble,
they gave this out if you, if you, if you
birdied the whole Shinn and they gave you a bottle
of the Club Blue bourbon.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
That's my team birdied it.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
And so we we got one find the class white
and blue bottles at Liquor Barn Kroger Justin's House of Bourbon.
It's the Club Blue Basketball Bourbon. They're down to fewer
than eight hundred bottles up for grabs. We ended up
with one birdie in at the KSR Golf Scramble. Every
purchase fuels UK's inile efforts. So join the celebration and
support the Cats, one poor at a time with Club

(34:20):
Blue bourbon. We'll take a break. It's Ask Anything Wednesday.
It's KSR. Who is this?

Speaker 2 (34:26):
So this is Scotty not McCready. McCreary. Ryan called hi McCready,
Scotty McCrary. He was talking about.

Speaker 5 (34:32):
He's a big deal now.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
But it's this this kind of music, like modern country dulness.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Yeah, this is it.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
He's kind of got that like a country twang from
the back of the day that deep boys that.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
You think this is not this is like the stuff
that's out now, this is terrible.

Speaker 5 (34:53):
That's why he's a big deal.

Speaker 4 (34:54):
I guess I got compare enough.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
To eighty five million views on you two.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
The song has eighty five million pp I feel like
it's a lot. Yeah, that seems like a lot. Well, no,
I mean, I grant you, this stuff's popular. It's seemed
by the fact that that dude's playing to our office
people right now, Like I mean that people like it,
Bailey Zimmerman and all of those folks. I'm gonna be
seeing a lot of these people this weekend because I'm
going to see m a Fast with ESPN's right, and

(35:22):
I'm probably gona have to interview some of these people.
So if you want to see me Shannon Grin and
and talk through my teeth, listen to me interview some
of these people Sunday morning.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
That's when you're at your best. What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (35:32):
Yeah, So they're gonna put us in uh whatever the
fan Fast area is. So if you're in Nashville and
you want to come by and say hello, Myron and
I'll be there. I bought Myron a cowboy hat. He
want to see that he's never been to anything country before.
And then Sunday Night, I'm very excited shanting because I'm
gonna go see Zach Top you can play him in

(35:53):
the second halt.

Speaker 4 (35:54):
I want to kind of cleanse my palate from some
of this stuff.

Speaker 5 (35:57):
You know. On the Sunday Show this past week, never
I heard Myron say You're the most cowboy person that he.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
Knows, which is a bad sign for him. He said,
he said I was the most cowboy person he knows,
and anyone who listens to this show knows, I'm like
the least cowboy person that listens. Like every single person
listening right now, right, is more cowboy than I am.
So that so Myron's in trouble. I think it.

Speaker 5 (36:24):
Well, you do have a hat.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
That's a start.

Speaker 5 (36:25):
You got the hat.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
Yes, I do have a hat.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
Okay, So I sent you all the video of the
soccer coach. Now, let me first of all say I
think we got I think I got the town wrong, right.
I think this guy's in Lexington, right, So this soccer guy,
now again, I'm not gonna say his name in case

(36:48):
in case this name is wrong, but I get all
indications that it is not, but just just for my own,
like to save all of us, I'm not gonna say
his name in case this person name. But this is
a video that we were talking about yesterday that I
thought was in Bardstown but apparently is in Lexington and
it is a Lexington youth soccer what's the name of

(37:11):
the team there, Ryan, I can't get it to pull
up on my phone.

Speaker 4 (37:14):
Is it tarusco FC?

Speaker 5 (37:16):
To be honest, I'm not sure how to pronounce it.
I think that's that's probably what's it spelled.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
T I b u r o n e s.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Okay, yes to tes t I b u r o
n e s yes tes timber Rones. I don't know,
but it's apparently a Lexington under thirteen soccer team and
this this player, he's running. They're going for a ball
and one of the kids knocks the other kid down

(37:46):
and this coach comes from the sidelines and basically just
chucks the kid who knocked the other one down, and
then another father someone looks like they run on the
field and confront the coach. Yeah, now that you've seen
the video, does that should that guy like be arrested?

Speaker 5 (38:06):
I think you filed charges against that guy. I think
you give him a lifetime ban, not let him coach
ever again in the city, because that's disgusting when you
see it.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
If you go I don't want to post the video,
but if you go to the Lexington if you go
to read it to the Lexington page, Lexington, Kentucky.

Speaker 4 (38:22):
You can see the video. I thought he was in Barts.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
I thought it was in Barstown, but apparently this was
in Lexington, like last weekend, this past weekend. Shouldn't you
look at the video?

Speaker 2 (38:32):
Yeah, I'm watching it, right.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
Would you not just banning from coaching? Should a charge
be filed against that guy?

Speaker 2 (38:39):
Yeah? I mean this is a kid you said under thirteen.
So let's say twelve year old kid and this coach
or whoever he is takes both hands to this kid's
face and pushes him down, like, you know, hit him in.

Speaker 3 (38:51):
The kid somehow ends up looks like he's okay, but
he's running full steam and that guy just takes his
elbow or takes his arms and.

Speaker 4 (38:59):
Just hits him.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
Yeah yeah, yeah, No the coach think.

Speaker 5 (39:03):
They can do that for twelve year old soccer. It's twelve,
they're twelve years old. Man. I I definitely I would
file charge against that guy, and never.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
You would if it was your kid, you would file
charges Again, I.

Speaker 5 (39:17):
Think I probably would after you see it. It's disgusting,
it really is.

Speaker 4 (39:23):
I am shocked.

Speaker 3 (39:24):
How is it that this is only on the Lexington
Reddit page? Like, how is this not a bigger story?

Speaker 2 (39:32):
I don't know. And the play that the kid was making,
what didn't look like a dirty play?

Speaker 3 (39:36):
The other Oh, he thought he knocked the kid down.
They're going to the ball and he knocked him down.
It's a foul, but it's not. I wouldn't say it's dirty,
would you ride? I mean, it's a foul, but.

Speaker 5 (39:45):
It's a foul. But yeah, not a dirty play. Of course.
I don't know soccer, but it didn't look like a
dirty play to me.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
I just don't understand how this isn't a bigger story.
How are we the only people that have talked about this. Well,
maybe it's a good.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
Thing we are kid down.

Speaker 5 (39:59):
Yeah, maybe's a good thing. We are talking about it
to bring more attention to it. So maybe the local
authorities will investigate it now.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
Well, I unless this is not I mean, I don't
think the video was doped. Why would you doctor children's
soccer video, Like, I don't know, but it feels like
to me, I'm shocked that the timperone FC. I guess
it's a coach. Maybe it's a dad. I'm not sure.
I'm shocked this isn't a bigger thing because like he

(40:25):
nails a kid right in the face while they're playing soccer.

Speaker 4 (40:28):
Who's next, Janie Janis, go ahead, Janis.

Speaker 9 (40:32):
Yeah, Matt, I have a statement and a question. The
statement is, uh, my son teases me that I know
more about you than I do about him. I thought,
that's that's pretty funny. Since but I just say, well,
listen to him every day.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
He should call home, moll, tell your son he should
call home more, and then you would know more about him.

Speaker 9 (40:54):
Right right? And then my ask anything lindsay question is
is I'm hidden the Dublin, Ireland this September with some
friends to catch the Pittsburgh Steelers game. Okay, and what
is the one thing that you would say as an
absolute messy while I'm there?

Speaker 3 (41:11):
Well, I mean, so I would make sure to give
a couple of days to go out into the Irish countryside,
like Dublin's awesome. But you know, if you were to
come to America and you were to only you should
go to New York. But you were only to see
New York, you wouldn't really know what America was like. Similarly,
the Irish countryside is like the most It's beautiful, beautiful,

(41:36):
and the people are so nice and it's just it's
so I would make sure to, even if it's just
a day tour, to go out into the Irish countryside.
And then in Dublin, I'm sure you'll end up on
the streets where all the Irish bars where they're playing
music are you know, music all day long. It's the
most fun and Irish people are the nicest people. They're

(41:58):
always in a social mood. And when you with the
Steelers coming to town, everybody's gonna be going crazy. But
make sure to give yourself one day to get out
of Dublin and to go out into the surrounding areas
and look at the absolutely beautiful like green spaces in Ireland.

Speaker 4 (42:12):
There's no place else like it in the world.

Speaker 9 (42:15):
Well, thank you all right.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
Enjoy it, appreciate the call. A five nine twenty seven.
Some UK football talk that we're going to try to
not make depressing, although it's

Speaker 4 (42:24):
A little depressing, we'll be right back SKSR
