A Vision Autoglass text machine is seven seven two seven

make them pay. This is a part of a new
editiative this we're doing this summer. Where we are during
the summer going to some businesses. We don't tell people
where we are. We just come and we're here. It's
(01:07):
they're like non crowd shows, so that you can but
to help well to advertise for businesses around the city
and state, and you can call iHeart and learn how
to do those. We're doing our first one here at
the Glen I Center, a new eye glasses store slash
optometrist off Lee'stown, right next to where they're putting them
(01:28):
the new What first watch is that right?
Speaker 4 (01:30):
First watch going in right next door?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
So the dude drags you know, Drew.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
You and I lived right across the street from here, yes,
and old I mean we both lived right across the street.
I used to come to this little area and the
only thing here.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Was this Applebee's. That was it.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
That's all that was there was Applebee's. We've talked about.
I spent a Christmas night at that Applebeast once before.
And now look at this place. There's all this stuff,
including glenn I Center with this wonderful ability. I ordered
some glasses. This is my old block.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
This shopping center is where I famously went to join
a gym in the gym had since become a Dominoes.
So I got pizza and went home. It's one of
my favorite moments in my life. I was dressed to
work out. I'd been meaning to join it as one
of those twenty four hour places for months. Finally got
the courage to win, and it was a Dominoes. So
I just still give them.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
Priorities just took over.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I still want to address. I love that. I love that,
you know, I really feel like working out. Nah, just
get fat, That's okay, That's that's a tough that's a
tough change for members of that gym.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
Certain gems Planet Fitness.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
Uh, they actually offer like pizza for everybody, like the
first Monday of the month.
Speaker 6 (02:41):
I always thought that was kind of strange.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
You mean, so you go into the gym like the
first Monday of every month, they would just have pizza
laid up for everybody that pizza, and then work out.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Well, they don't want you getting too fit, because then
you'll cancel your membership, your goals.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
They got to keep your chubbies. You know what.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
It's like the American pharmaceutical industry.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
They got to keep you, got to keep you addicted
to the uh to to that head.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
Hadn't thought have a slice while you're doing your curls?
Speaker 5 (03:07):
You know, this is also a famous block for Ryan.
Isn't this where you race your son and broke a leg.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Sidewalk right across the parking lot from El Mariachi down
to Domino's. He and I raced down the sidewalk, ended
up doing a Pete Rose slide down the sidewalk right
broke something, didn't you I've broken well, I pulled my
my groin.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
He does that every time he gets up. Bull is growing.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah. Well uh well, now you don't have to do
any of those things. You can come to the Glen
I Center. They've got like very nice glasses. You got
gray Band, Gucci, Prada, moumo how about that one? And
you can get your eyes checked. And like I said,
I just bought some glasses. What was the what was
the kind I got?
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Coast?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I thought you were going down to the moo moos.
You're down in that corner over there with the moon.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Me it's me okay, well yeah, the eyes should mean something.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
It wouldn't be move move.
Speaker 7 (04:01):
They have some glasses. They have some glasses that help
you hear too. Well, those are kind of cool, yes,
are they like for like hearing aids?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Really? They have hearing the glasses? Well, I put on
the meta glasses, yes, and I'm scared of it because
they are meta is in like Facebook? Right? You put
them on and you can ask them questions and they
answer it. So like I was looking at Mario and
Drew and I said, Meta, what am I looking at?
And these are the glasses? Yeah, and they told me
(04:32):
you're looking at people having a conversation. They didn't tell
me Mario, but I would assume at some point they
will be able to tell me Mario.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
So you needed the glasses to tell you that that's
two people having a conversation. You could figure it out
for yourself.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
But I think about when it could work though, Like
you walk upon something like let's say your VIZ team.
I don't know Barcelona, right, and you walk upon a building.
You don't want to sit there and google where I am.
You could go, uh, Meta, what what am I looking
at here?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
And they would say, oh, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You could see how that was cool?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Yeah, I don't know. When I asked that question, they said,
you're looking at people had a conversation in an eye
doctor's office.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
They did say that in and out of office, so
that's kind of it. And apparently you can listen again.
This is technology probably the rest of the world knows.
But it doesn't take much to blow.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
My mind either, you know, virtual reality.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
It doesn't take.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Much to blow my mind.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
You can listen to the show in your glasses and
nobody around you knows. Yeah, think about that. You can
walk down the street listen to KSR. Nobody knows.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
That also record video and nobody knows, which could be
a dangerous game.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Oh really Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
I have a friend that has a pair of those.
He's constantly recording whatever he's doing.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Now, I don't know about that. That seems a little.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
I think one of the OVW guys had that on
the other night because he was in a ladder match
and you can see it from his perspective and he
went off and didn't Is that what.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
The referees are doing now too?
Speaker 7 (05:54):
I did see, Yeah, the glasses on it. You can
see it from a first point point of view.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
That's really interesting.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
So anyway, Uh, this is all just to say.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
That nollage is crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
These days, kids, they have streaming and the movies are
in your team.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I just think it was a big deal when your
lenses would tint, get get dark and then you go outside.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
My grandpa had those.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah, I thought that was cool.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I thought that was the coolest thing ever you go outside.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Chad Northfleet had that in nineteen ninety seven at Transylvania. Yeah,
the peak of technology.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Cool stuff. Now we got my glass. They're talking to me.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, anyway you can, Glenn I Center. Uh here off
off Leastown Road.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Was this complex called town Center Center.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Town Center Town with an E. Right, that's how you
know it's it's fancy towns town with any town Center drive.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
All right, So I want to start with this.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I made the Louisville fans mad yesterday, right, Well, that's
good for you, congratulations. They got very mad at what
I thought was a very simple and non controversial opinion.
And I'll just let's say, I'm not gonna call them
out because I don't want you getting mad at them,
because I know you Louisville people are listening almost all
of the major Louisville shows. Their host wrote me and said,
(07:15):
I was right about this. Okay, So so I don't
know why this makes everybody, but I just make these
Louisville people mad.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Again, thank you for listening.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
But I said, you know that Louisville and Lexing were
different cities. Remember, I Saivince would not be as popular
in Louisville as he is in Lexington. And I was
explaining the differences in blah blah blah, and then somebody
wrote me, Drew, and I thought they explained this perfectly. Okay,
that's rare, very rarely in the commentation do people explain
(07:46):
things perfectly. I thought this was explained perfectly in the
state of Kentucky. The analogy between Kentucky and Louisville. We
like to say it's big brother, little brother. They like
to say they're big brother, which is the stupidest because
there's no way there but big brother and little brother.
(08:08):
I do think down plays a little bit Louisville success. Right,
they're the seventh or eighth the best college basketball program
of all time, depending on your metrics.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
And your big brother in most states exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I mean, the top basketball programs are Tier one Kentucky,
North Carolina, UCLA, Tier two by itself, Duke.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Then I think Kansas.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Is next, and then after that, depending on what you value.
You could say Yukon, you could say Louisville, you could
say Indiana.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Everybody agree with that. Everythay's that fair. Everybody agrees with that, Okay.
But in the state of Kentucky, I've struggled.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
So what is the analogy between Kentucky Louisville and somebody
hit it Drew and see.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
If you agree with this. We are the Lakers. They
are the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Okay, what are you laughing at, Mario like that?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
That's not crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
No, we are the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
They are the Clipper.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
They are the modern Clippers. Not the Clippers that were
terrible all the time, huh, but the modern Clippers. And
what that means is this, in any given year, the
Lakers and the Clippers, the Clippers might be better.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yes, in a given.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Year, the Clippers have Kawhi. They sometimes they had Lamar,
right like they can sometimes have the best the better thing.
But in the state of Kentucky, we are the Lakers
because A we've won more, but B the Lakers losing
is a bigger story in LA than the Clippers win.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Kentucky is the brand God, The Lakers are the brand.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
The Lakers are the brand.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
You can put us on television and everybody's gonna watch it.
You can put the Clippers on television and they'll watch it,
Drew if they're good.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
If they're good.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
But if they're bad, and they then then Pat Kelsey
has to walk down the street begging people to come
to the games.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Do you have to beg people to come Toakers game?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Never?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
No, But do you sometimes have to make people who
go the Clippers game?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Right now? Are the Clippers games sometimes more fun?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah? Do the Clippers have the nicer arena? Now, yes,
if you've been to it. Do they have their own stars?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Sometimes?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
But the Lakers are the team in Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
We are the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
We you know, as Marcus t would say, we as Kentucky.
We give no blanks. And I think that's the analogy
I've been looking for, and it's the analogy events we'll
realize that in the state of Kentucky. Yeah, if you win,
they'll be nice, they'll be excited, but Kentucky will always
be Kentucky, just like the Lakers will always be looking.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
I like that because you know, when I think of
Los Angeles and I think of basketball, I think of
the Lakers sometimes sometimes I forget the Clippers even exist exactly.
And I think when the Clippers are gone, yeah, people
will go and the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Can beat the Lakers in any giving sure can, yeah,
but they're still the Clippers.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I love that analogy because that kind of explains it.
You know, the high profile showtime Lakers. That's Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yes, Nicks are us. They're the Nats, right, yep. They
might be better in a given year. They can go
get Durant, Kyrie, et cetera. But the Knicks can have
Jeremy Lynn and people are still excited about it. That's
the analogy, And like I said, I think that's what
Vince is gonna figure out.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
I wasn't sure where you're gonna go with this, but
like I want else, I agree, Kentucky's the show. It's
the hot ticket. You know, you got the I guess
the venue makes a good point. Few things here and there,
a little having a good season, but overall it's all
about Kentucky. So I like this comparison.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Well, I I do get annoyed when Louisville fans listen
and then get my quotes wrong. Somebody wrote yesterday Matt
Jones goes on the radio and says, no one in
Louisville carries about sports. Not what I said.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
No, you said, but I said, half the people don't
care about sports.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
And and that's you live there, you know this.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, I could walk down Bardstown Road.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
None of those people care about sports.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Those people care about sports.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
That's why maybe skateboarding if you cut those a sport, yeah,
or or hackey second.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Yeah, you know, I guess that could be if.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
We smoking is a sport.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
It's the number.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
One in the world contact bus just from walking around.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
But it is not. And that's the point.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
Yeah, I like that analysis. Yeah, and you're right in Louisville,
you got half the people that don't care. Then the
other half or maybe not half of let's say forty
percent of the other people or Kentucky fans.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
So the other thing that happens to a lot of times,
we'll say something, they say, you said it.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Oh, that's my favorite thing.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I hate that, right, I'll say something that.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
People were like Matt Jones almost fail for a scam.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
That's got a timeshare every that's kind of time share
that's got a kid who signed his name to make
him go to prison.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I mean it is it's I if I were the
three of you all, I would take it more personally like.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
You all don't have relatively get in trouble for whatever
you say. Can you say anything but nobody goes Matt
Jones is a rock star. Like shit, I only get
the negative from what you all do and none of
the pond.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
That's what happens when you're the star of the show.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Well you are the stary five nine two eight oh
twenty two eighty seven. We are at the Green Eye
Center Jason, excuse me, Glenn Ey Center. Jason. Glenn was
previously located in the Lexington Green for ten years. He
is now here one stop shop exams, glasses, contacts and
medical eye care. Plus you can try on the cool
Meta glasses, talk to it, have a conversation, maybe even
(13:39):
a friend on your face.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
We will take a break and be right back. It's
Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Welcome back at this Kentucky Sports Radio. Eight f I've
nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, text machine
seven seven two seven seven four five two five four.
People trying to say to me that they also think
the Yankees and Mets are the analogy. I don't think
So the Mets. Yankees are the biggest thing in New York,
but Mets are huge too. I mean the Mets. There's
a huge part of New York City that also is
(14:07):
you know, Queens is pretty much all the Mets. Decent
part of Brooklyn's the Mets. I think the Mets are
almost too big for mine out Lakers, Clippers, I like
more or maybe Dodgers, Angels, Cups, white Socks. It's Louisville
too much credit. Yeah, Cubs, white Sox because you know,
the south side of town likes the White Sox.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
But the Cubs are still the bigger thing.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Yeah, everybody still, you know, loves the Cubs. Wrigley filled
Bell County, Middlesborough.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Well except where we're.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
The Kentucky is the Kentucky Park.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
We are here at Glenn I Center. Part of the
reason I like going to places like this. I like
these summer things where we go to places with no crawds.
We get to learn about the about the about where
we are. So I was asking about exams and he
said they still they still blow.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
The air, and your yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
That's my It's honestly partially why I tend to wear
old prescriptions.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
I don't want to go get the air blown.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
One of those things.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
You know it's coming, they're telling you it's about to happen,
and you still jump back.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
You know, I hate it and it's and he said,
now they have a way where they can touch your eye.
I'm fine with that. I don't know if I touched
my all the time just for pleasure, but right just
to put my context in so that doesn't really bother me.
You get freaked out when I put my contact.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
I can't even watch videos or other people touch their
own eyes. I can't. It's something about it just freaks
me out.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I like the air blower. You look down the desert
at the hot air balloon and.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
My eyes of water right now just thinking about it.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Oh, it's a beautiful scene that looks like a great
day wherever that was.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
We also got a question here what's your name? That
asked me the question Stacy. Stacy asked me. And you know,
I'm not making fun of this, Stacy, because you're not
the first person that's asked me this in the last
few days, probably been asked this ten or twelve times.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
There were the pictures of all the players, the UK players,
like jumping up in the air right and doing their thing,
and some of them had on what would best be
described drew as a sports bra looking thing exactly what
it looks like. People ask me, what is that sports bra?
But it's men wearing them. Explain to people what that is,
(16:17):
because I've gotten asked that a lot.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Now they've had them. UK basketball has had them for
a couple of years. You're seeing more guys working out
this summer shirtless, and it looks like they're just out
there in sports bra. But as I understand it, it
reads like everything imaginable, not just heart rate, but they
know how fast you're running and if any given drill
you slow down, that shows up on the chart your
constant movement. Heart rate I'm sure is one of the
(16:40):
biggest parts. But it knows your speed numbers. I can't
even think of to list here. It can read about anything.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Yeah, so yesterday I got to do it. Kind of
a cool thing.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Uh My mom had to take her brother with her
brother to the doctor, so I took I had I
was in charge of Larry for the day. Now you know,
you got you've had a wife and kids. Yeah, you
all had siblings.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
You know, well, didn't, but you did. You have a sister.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
So like, I'm not used to taking care of another person.
So I'm like taking my eighty eight year old father
around and I was like, what am I going to
do with him during this time?
Speaker 3 (17:20):
We need to do something fun. So I took him
to Memorial Coliseum.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Good, I thought he was. He hadn't been in there
since nineteen seventy three. Oh, I should have taken you
with me, Mario, because it was cool, Like Memorial Cosseum has,
you know, all these.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Pictures of all the old teens.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yes, and he was able to walk around and he
was telling me stories about like meeting Alex Groza as
a kid and stuff, and that was really neat to do.
And then UK was nice enough. You know they're redoing that, yeah,
you know, so I thought this was interesting. They're basically
taking away the col Era. Everything up there is MBA, right,
(17:59):
they're kind of making that out, and they're making it
pretty much Kentucky history. Now there was some of that
there before, but they're basically making it to where they're
going to highlight the history of Kentucky basketball in there
and it not just be kind of the last fifteen
years even though I think that's a great idea, it's
(18:21):
also symbolic Ryan in some ways of the change, just
a mentality in.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
The last year, and I think that goes along with
the popeman through with the program. He wants to encompass everybody,
not just the era people that Cal did. So that
big mural you're talking about all those players, it needs
to have. Jamal Mashburn, Rex Chapman.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
We went to the practice.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Ded Moore is very nice to take my dad so
he could see where they practice, and I noticed.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
All that stuff's gone.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Yeah, like all those NBA cards all around, like all
the this is like all of that is gone, Drew.
I think soon to be replaced by just UK SEC Championships,
NCA whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
They're going to put up there.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
But the Panini.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Cards of every UK player in the NBA gone.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
I think those Panini cards came down in a hurry,
like maybe days.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
On the walls right now and it was cool.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
At the time when Cow's promoting the message. But there's
the big NBA mural. It's fascinating. It has like twenty
four Kentucky players on it, but they might even be
in their NBA jerseys. They are now that we've closed
the book on that era. I like that Pope is
expanding everything that was nice to show a five star recruit, like, look,
you want to be one of those guys, but the
times have changed. I like it's getting back to the cars.
I understand it.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
What they're gonna do is they're gonna highlight in various sections.
Here is what we've done in the final four. Here's
our NCAA tournament success. Here is our SEC tournament success.
Here are our guys who've had NBA careers. Here are
guys who've won Olympic gold medals. Remember, Kentucky was the
US Olympic team one year in nineteen forty eight. We
(19:52):
were the whole Olympic team. And I think that's gonna
be really cool. The the other thing, and this is
more I think the gen public should know this. Many
of you know this, but many of you may not.
I had never seen it. You know, Memorial Coliseum is
named it's a war memorial for people who died initially
(20:13):
in World War Two, but they have now extended it
to Vietnam and maybe Korea.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
They have now built in front of it these pillars
that are up. They just went up this spring, and
it has the name of every Kentuckian who passed away
in World War two, Vietnam or and maybe Korea.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I think it does.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I know it has World War two in Vietnam because
I saw the names on there. And it is arranged
by county, so you can go to your county that
you live in and see every veteran that passed in
that war. I went with Larry to Bell County. It
was one hundred and sixty seven people in Bell County
and it was all you could see last names that
(20:57):
for me in Bell County, I knew these names like Knuckles, Rosston, etc.
But you could do that for any county and it
is in order, and they are pillars up up in there,
and then if you go inside, there's an electronic touch
screen that.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Has the same names and you can touch.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
And some of them there are stories about them, and
some of them there are interviews with their families or
stories about what they did.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
They really have put.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
The memorial in Memorial Coliseum, and I highly recommend obviously
you have a family member who passed, but even if
you haven't, it's actually a really powerful thing to stand
outside and walk and see every Kentuckian that passed during
these wars.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Big shout out to the folks that UK that did that.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I think it was not just UK Athletics, but some
UK Historical Society people. One of the guys that did
it just happened to be standing there when we were
there and explained some of.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
It to me.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Ryan, I hadn't seen it and really focused on it,
and I thought it was great.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
You know that they used to have all the names
listed when you walk the concourse moral calls then, but
they took them all down, so I think there was
a fear they were going to miss that. So I'm
so glad they put those pillars out in front because
it's really kind of impressive now and you walk up.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
To it, very impressive and you can see like they
have highlighted this is Bell County, this is Breathitt County,
this is Carter County, whatever, And you know, I don't
know that everybody knows that's there, Drew, but now, yeah,
it is straight.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
They made that a priority when they had to redo memorial,
like Ryan said, they lost some parts that have been
there for a long time honoring those people. So it's
nice as they kept them in the in the rebuilding.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
And you also see things when I went that I
didn't expect, like Ricky Lumpkin, former UK football player, giving
a tour to the UK School for the Deaf at
the basketball facility. Really you go like it's like a
mad lib.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Who had any idea that would all be there?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
But there was.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
You know, Adolf Rupp's office is still tucked away back
in the corner, but you can't get to it anymore.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
You can't get to it anymore. But that is neat.
So anyway, we will take your calls.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I just wanted to let people tell cool that we
are here at the Glen I Center in Town Center Drive.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back glen I.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Center here off Town Center Drive, Lee's Town Road. If
you come in and you mentioned ks R, you can
get a free opto map and retinal exam. It's pretty good.
Just mention ksrtle call for the appointment or when you
come in, just mention ks R. It is the Green
Eye Center. Un Why do I keep saying green because
(23:21):
they were like glenn I Center.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I've already ordered glasses he did, so, Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
The mos they're not moves the Cosmoss. Listen. Either way,
they're gonna be good. You saw it took me one
minute to pick them out. So it's there's a big
selection here, all right. Who's up first?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Rick got Steve first?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Steve, go ahead, Steve.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
Yeah. I little last night to uh talking about high
school football in the playoff system got going in Kentucky. Well,
I'm from Michigan and I moved down here to Indiana
a truck drivers. So that's how I couldn't listen.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
To you so much.
Speaker 8 (24:06):
But anyway, they uh, in Michigan, they've got it broke
down into eight eight classes and it goes by the
number of students and and you know, so breaking down evenly.
I mean, one year you may be in class five
and next year you may be in four, just because
where your student body falls in. And uh, you know,
(24:27):
I tell you Michigan as their high school playoff system
down path. I mean, you know, we have very many
complaints about the way.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
We don't want that, we don't want that. We're unique
in Kentucky on this. We are like the last state
in the country that throws everybody together.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
And we like that.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
And you know what, one point I want to make
one point I want to make is that about the
Michigan system is.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
If you play like uf I get up let's say
a peer of five, and you play up to a
four and if that team is don't want a gig,
you don't get no points.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Understand. And I like the Michigan that's nice. But here
we we we we like.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
I like the fact that in everything but football, we
put everybody together. Yes, the big schools are gonna win more,
but we don't. In college have multiple NCAA tournaments in
Division one. Now you could say, well they have a
Division one, two and three, but that's mostly about whether
or not you give scholarships. It's really has nothing to
do with the thing.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yes, Trinity one baseball this year. Those kind of schools
will win more often than not. But sometimes there are
other schools that win, right, and that's exciting.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
We just had Lyon County versus Harlan And County and.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Years exactly right, two years ago.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I'm okay if they had the classes in football, but
for basketball and baseball, baseball, keep it the way it's
all you know, you get those little schools, give them
a chance to make it the bigger run they football.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
The teams are so big. I think you have to
do it basketball. You need to five five fine five kids.
It's in your school. Yep, honestly, got five kids in
your school and in any school in theory can do that.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
I like the way that it is too. I agree
with you.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
And I didn't think that our first call would be
about Michigan High school football.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yeah, I mean, details about how the system works.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I did. I didn't, but you never know. You never
know what you're gonna get here at the glen Is Center.
Who's next? Adam is next?
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Adam?
Speaker 9 (26:19):
Go ahead, Adam, let's call him Matt. Eric Crawford has
a report this morning, and I need your thoughts. Uh, Well,
we're gonna name a road after Tom Jurich.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yeah, I mean, I gotta be careful because this is
my man, Craig Greenberg's decision.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
I appreciate the call, you know.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I mean, look, I saw so they're they're they're bringing
Tom Jurch back and having like Tom.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
Jurich Day or something, having a parade.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Okay, I mean, did he do amazing things at Louisville? Yes?
Did he oversee the destruction of the entire athletics department,
and in some ways the economic structure of the university. Yes, so,
I mean it's their road. They can do what they
want with it. I'm you know, I'm surprised because a
(27:16):
lot of the people, like they all know what Tom did.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Is it just not matter anymore?
Speaker 5 (27:22):
No, They're gonna put the banner back up soon.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yeah. That actually bothers me less than honoring Tom Jurich
in some ways.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
But I get it. He was very successful.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
But you know, if it was if he was wrong
enough to fire him and get ready get rid of him,
and they just waited till the statute of limitations was
out on all his claims, and now they're gaming a
road after.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Yeah, I'm not surprised, though. Will you be able to
listen to KSR on that road? Will Tom have rights
through people's radios over it there?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Well, So I'm not outraged by it, but I am
a little surprised Ryan, when you consider, I mean, just
think of all the scandals of the I mean I
could sit here and list for you ten scandals, one
of which would have been outrageous at any university, and
ten of which occurred in like four years.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
What if about on the light poles down Jurich Way.
They have a little banner for each scandal, like sometimes
they sound like they're proud of people graduates.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
They could put a little scandal on each.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Constitutes for recruits.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Like that's one to think that people just skip over
that one as if it's if it's if it's nothing.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Maybe the road they're gonna name him is a back
alley off of Side Street. Kind of be appropriate.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
It's on campus. I think I think they're putting it like.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I think they're putting it like right in the middle
of the What was.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
The only place that would fire somebody? Then give them
a road named after them.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
That's the only place where they would fire.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
You go, I have to fire you because you are
outrageous and ruining the reputation of the university. But by
the way, we're also gonna name a road after you
that will last in perpetuit.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
I can't wait for Billy Gillespie read Joker Phillips Road.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Had how Mummy passed for a little bit. Yeah, they
took it down.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
That's a perfect example. We had how Mummy passed? What
did he do?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Claude Bassett gave people one hundred dollars to go get fish.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I mean like.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
It feels when we took.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
The road down, took it down.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Who's next? Brandy is next?
Speaker 3 (29:21):
I don't know if it was fish or not. I
just feel like it sounded good.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Brandy.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Go ahead, Brandy.
Speaker 10 (29:28):
I'm on, say Matt Jones Boulevard. We need Matt Jones Boulevard.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I have a sign. I think that's Plinny. I gotta sign.
That was That was all I needed in Middlesbrough. But
go ahead. Now.
Speaker 10 (29:41):
I got a couple three things I hadn't called in
a while, but I heard the Evince Marrow thing with
the piano music yesterday, and that's just sad. And I
was always tall. You know, actions not words, So I
thank you actions on his words. And yes, also you
talking yesterday about people that don't get caught for the
(30:03):
crimes that they do. You need to watch The more
Titian on Max.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Okay, so I've heard about this, I haven't watched it.
Have any of you.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Want seen a little bit of it.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
There's apparently it's called The more Titian. Appreciate the call.
It's on.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
It's on Max. I believe it's about a Los Angeles funeral.
Home where bad things occurred. But apparently there's a twist
ending that is supposed to be one of the best
twist endings of all time. You may remember that show
The Jinks was not The Jinks. Is that it was
The Jinks and it had like a crazy ending, which
(30:39):
I won't I mean, it's been fifteen years situation. Yeah,
where he basically was like I did it right, You
forget Michael, he had his mic on, didn't rise by
the way I did it? Oh wait, is this on
the record? This is supposed to have the best twist
ending runs since The Jinx, and it's called The Mortician.
I think it just came out on Max. I have
not seen it, but I've I've heard it. Is that
(31:01):
seems like you're kind of thing.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
Oh yeah, I would definitely watch that. But I feel
like we could look up what the twist is. I mean,
I feel like it would play out in the news. Right,
it's a real story, right, But why would you want
to know?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
You could do that about anything. I mean you could
do yeah, I mean you could ask those glasses over there,
what the twist is?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
The point is? I mean, do you just not want to.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Go to the movie.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
I feel like you know you can.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
When a movie comes out, Shanton just googles how does
it end? Well, I don't need to go.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
If you know how it plays out like that, there's
a did you watch Titanic? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Then you knew the ending.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Yeah, but I wanted to see how it played out.
Speaker 7 (31:33):
I want to see everybody thinks Winsley. Yeah, I am
a big kate ones like I do you love her?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
What was the comedian that really could bit about He
doesn't know anything about history and he watched Tyler Hero.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
That was not the one.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
No, you watched Pearl Harbor and he was like, I
was as shocked as anybody. Yeah, Wednesday is the new Friday.

You extra and leave a good tip.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Tip the ones who do that.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
Eighty seven couple of the once we're a little offt
I'm sorry, Stacey, We're just a little You get us
out in public and then you give us what was
the watermelon over there? Like things start to I wanted
to ask you about your Vandy guys. Yeah, did you
see your guy Diego Pavia?
Speaker 6 (33:38):
Know what's he doing?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Diego Pavia said Starting this year, Vandy would quote run
the state of Tennessee from now.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Oh, I love it.
Speaker 6 (33:47):
I love that cockiness. Screw Tennessee. Yeah, I hope he does.
I hope he does.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
You don't think that's a little poking the bear. Maybe
he's on his way out.
Speaker 6 (33:58):
What does he care?
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Right?
Speaker 3 (34:00):
He playing this year?
Speaker 7 (34:00):
I know, but he's not gonna be around for next
year if they end up, you know, getting their butt
kicked by Tennessee.
Speaker 6 (34:04):
But I love that.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Yeah, do you like that?
Speaker 2 (34:07):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
They just beat Alabama last year, why not?
Speaker 3 (34:10):
But they didn't beat Tennessee.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
Well, they're gonna beat him this year.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
They didn't keep their quarterback.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
Here's a lot of talk he's the best quarterback in Tennessee,
including the Titans right now.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
That's probably true, That's probably very true.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Do you think saying that they're going to run the
state of Tennessee from now on is a good idea?
Speaker 4 (34:26):
See, I don't know if it's a great idea, But
I love it. I love the guy, got that kind
of confidence he I know, he tore us up, but
I kind of like watching him play man. He did
a great things for Vandy Lack.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
I think we will. I mean, it's hard to imagine
even a semi successful Kentucky season this year without beating them?
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Do you think that are we going to beat him?
We beat him two years ago at their place.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
We've lost the last two at home.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
I don't love having to see him again.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
That is a game.
Speaker 5 (34:54):
I don't think you can have a good season unless
you just really pull off a big upset, unless you
win those swing games Like.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Yeah, but I don't think like if you.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
Unless you knock off Texas or something crazy. But you
gotta win that Vandy game to have any kind of
any kind of season that could get you into a
bowl game, which a lot of fans need.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
I mean, I would go as far as to say,
if you lose to Vanderbilt, Mark Stoops won't be the
coaching the next year.
Speaker 6 (35:23):
Oh you think it comes down to his entire career.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
It's because of what I'm saying. It's because of what
Drew said, though. Are you gonna have a good year, Well,
if you lose to Vandy and beat Texas, but you
still only have four wins.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
I mean that was just what we did last year.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
We beat Old Miss and didn't beat anybody else and
we had four wins. So I don't think even beating
a Texas is enough if you lose to a Vandy
and I don't see a away you can get to
six wins and lose to Vandy. What is the scenario
where you win three SEC games and don't beat Vandy.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
And in your dreams, probably the only way that's possible,
it's not gonna happen. The thing about the Vandy if
they be Kentucky again, that's three of the last four
years they've surpassed you as as a football program in
the NANCC.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
That's unacceptable. Except to be more clear, if Vandy beat
you this year, you are either the worst or next
to worst team in the It's either you or Mississippi State.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Yep. And and that is pathetic.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Which a second, we've kind of clawed our way to
get in that middle.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
We're in a tier of seventh eighth, top.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Yeah, we were in a time and there were a
couple of years we were arguing, Hey, we're knocking I
mean there was a moment where we had passed Vandy,
we had passed Mississippi State, we had passed Missouri, we
passed arkansasth Carolina, pass South Carolina, and we were sitting
there going, hey, Tennessee Florida. I think we're best, good
or better than you. And then the next step was
(37:00):
George's et cetera. And now we're like, well we might
be Bandy and.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Diego Pove is out there talking trash.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
And he's not even talking trash to Kentucky, Drew, he's
talking trash to Tennessee.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
Oh, he's looking over the top of us, looking to Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
He assumed if there was a Vandy sports radio, which
I think there's a Vandy Science radio, but I don't
think there's a Vandy sports radio, they would look at
the schedule and go, well, we got Kentucky. Sure, right,
wouldn't they do that? Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (37:30):
And so much of stupid success when it was at
its best is fort routinely beating South Carolina, Missouri, and Vandy,
and all three of those programs have gone up another
level while Kentucky's gone backwards. They had that anonymous poll
with coaches just a few weeks ago where it said
Kentucky can't even keep up with Vanderbilt right now in
this new era. I mean, just seeing that print said
(37:50):
enough about Kentucky football right now that other coaches are
said that, Yeah, that was they did that. You know,
the usual summer poll with anonymous coaches. They said Kentucky
is a step behind Vandy in South Carolina right now
in the new era.
Speaker 6 (38:04):
That's very concerning.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
Yeah, like in the big picture, losing three out of
four to Vandy would be bad.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Look too, you just depressed me because there's not that's
there's nothing wrong with that. That's one hundred percent correct.
But that shouldn't happen. No, that's partly why I will
not listen to I've had people involved with UK football
privately say to me something like this, right, well, how
do people expect us with a five to seven million
(38:35):
dollars in il to compete with the twenty million dollar teams?
And the reason that argument falls on deaf ears to
me is you lost Tovany. I mean, if your only
losses were to Georgia, Texas and Alabama, I would hear
that argument. But you lost a van And there's no
(38:55):
human world where Vandy spent more on an aisle than
we did, is there? No?
Speaker 4 (39:00):
You lost a Vandy on your home field the last
two times they've been.
Speaker 6 (39:03):
There and then ask for money the monday after.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Yeah, well I think.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Forgot about that.
Speaker 7 (39:13):
It was Vanderbilt was it they launched the.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
The pony up was after Missouri, but the collective collective.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Exactly.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
Even Missouri shouldn't be that far ahead of you. And
they've been in the playoff conversation last year. They were
disappointed not making the playoff last year.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
I you can't say to me, I mean, I don't
know how you convinced donors to give twenty million dollars
if you don't be Vanderbilt.
Speaker 6 (39:44):
Would you?
Speaker 4 (39:45):
No?
Speaker 2 (39:46):
No, I mean that's part of the thing of this.
Now this may change a little bit in the rev
share but in the nil era I said for a
long time, this is a business, and businesses when things
aren't going well it it's hard to get your stock
price up and to get investors in. And that's what
these sports programs are going to be. You have to perform.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
Yeah, the last time we beat him, I think Ray
Davis had like three or four touchdowns. A Vandy guy,
somebody who's our Ray Davis. We have a Ray Davis
this year that.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Their own guy, the UK's credit. They went out and
stole him.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Yeah, yeah, so that do.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
I do understand why why Diego Pavia would say that.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
I don't know if it's the smartest thing in the world.
Speaker 7 (40:31):
Was he asked about that or did no one to
ask and he just said it. I think there is
a difference.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
And I just called up and said, listen, we're about
to run Tennessee confidence.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
One person wrote in and said, Matt, I heard Ryan
talking about the scam yesterday.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
I'm glad he said it.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
He is going to end up saving lots of elderly
citizens from losing their money.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
He should take pride in that.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Well, I hope so, because it was very convincing. I
can see how maybe an older person would fall hook
line and sinker for that and offer up their credit
card information on the phone. So, but maybe maybe by
getting it out there it'll keep somebody from doing that.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Apparently there is a warning that has been put out
by the Lexington Police in the last few weeks about
your exact.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
Sp I'm telling you I was convinced for about ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Did you not see the warning?
Speaker 6 (41:18):
No? No?
Speaker 4 (41:21):
What lessons have we learned from that? Uh, don't answer
a private number.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Okay, that's a really good start.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
Yeah, but we told you this four to five years.
Speaker 5 (41:30):
To brag about having conversations with the skimmers.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
Oh I do I still do that?
Speaker 2 (41:34):
Why are we gonna stop that? Since clearly they're outsmarting
you sometimes.
Speaker 4 (41:38):
They did outsmart me this time. You're gonna go next time.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
It's not a contest because with love, you're gonna lose.
They're better at this than you are.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
Very good at it. They had me convinced. So we're
gonna stop. I was just dready to drive down to
the third.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
You're gonna stop answering the private calls?
Speaker 4 (41:57):
Well, what about Stante King?
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Can you tell Dante to leave a message or text you?
Speaker 4 (42:02):
I bet he would leave a message.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Okay, so we're gonna stop the We can't keep losing
money because of Dante because it could be Dante on
the phone. Yeah, you can't keep giving away your credit
card because this could be Dante's.

editiative this we're doing this summer. Where we are during
the summer going to some businesses. We don't tell people
where we are. We just come and we're here. It's
(01:07):
they're like non crowd shows, so that you can but
to help well to advertise for businesses around the city
and state, and you can call iHeart and learn how
to do those. We're doing our first one here at
the Glen I Center, a new eye glasses store slash
optometrist off Lee'stown, right next to where they're putting them
(01:28):
the new What first watch is that right?
Speaker 4 (01:30):
First watch going in right next door?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
So the dude drags you know, Drew.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
You and I lived right across the street from here, yes,
and old I mean we both lived right across the street.
I used to come to this little area and the
only thing here.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Was this Applebee's. That was it.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
That's all that was there was Applebee's. We've talked about.
I spent a Christmas night at that Applebeast once before.
And now look at this place. There's all this stuff,
including glenn I Center with this wonderful ability. I ordered
some glasses. This is my old block.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
This shopping center is where I famously went to join
a gym in the gym had since become a Dominoes.
So I got pizza and went home. It's one of
my favorite moments in my life. I was dressed to
work out. I'd been meaning to join it as one
of those twenty four hour places for months. Finally got
the courage to win, and it was a Dominoes. So
I just still give them.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
Priorities just took over.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I still want to address. I love that. I love that,
you know, I really feel like working out. Nah, just
get fat, That's okay, That's that's a tough that's a
tough change for members of that gym.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
Certain gems Planet Fitness.
Speaker 7 (02:37):
Uh, they actually offer like pizza for everybody, like the
first Monday of the month.
Speaker 6 (02:41):
I always thought that was kind of strange.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
You mean, so you go into the gym like the
first Monday of every month, they would just have pizza
laid up for everybody that pizza, and then work out.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Well, they don't want you getting too fit, because then
you'll cancel your membership, your goals.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
They got to keep your chubbies. You know what.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
It's like the American pharmaceutical industry.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
They got to keep you, got to keep you addicted
to the uh to to that head.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
Hadn't thought have a slice while you're doing your curls?
Speaker 5 (03:07):
You know, this is also a famous block for Ryan.
Isn't this where you race your son and broke a leg.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Sidewalk right across the parking lot from El Mariachi down
to Domino's. He and I raced down the sidewalk, ended
up doing a Pete Rose slide down the sidewalk right
broke something, didn't you I've broken well, I pulled my
my groin.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
He does that every time he gets up. Bull is growing.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah. Well uh well, now you don't have to do
any of those things. You can come to the Glen
I Center. They've got like very nice glasses. You got
gray Band, Gucci, Prada, moumo how about that one? And
you can get your eyes checked. And like I said,
I just bought some glasses. What was the what was
the kind I got?
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Coast?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I thought you were going down to the moo moos.
You're down in that corner over there with the moon.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Me it's me okay, well yeah, the eyes should mean something.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
It wouldn't be move move.
Speaker 7 (04:01):
They have some glasses. They have some glasses that help
you hear too. Well, those are kind of cool, yes,
are they like for like hearing aids?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Really? They have hearing the glasses? Well, I put on
the meta glasses, yes, and I'm scared of it because
they are meta is in like Facebook? Right? You put
them on and you can ask them questions and they
answer it. So like I was looking at Mario and
Drew and I said, Meta, what am I looking at?
And these are the glasses? Yeah, and they told me
(04:32):
you're looking at people having a conversation. They didn't tell
me Mario, but I would assume at some point they
will be able to tell me Mario.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
So you needed the glasses to tell you that that's
two people having a conversation. You could figure it out
for yourself.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
But I think about when it could work though, Like
you walk upon something like let's say your VIZ team.
I don't know Barcelona, right, and you walk upon a building.
You don't want to sit there and google where I am.
You could go, uh, Meta, what what am I looking
at here?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
And they would say, oh, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You could see how that was cool?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Yeah, I don't know. When I asked that question, they said,
you're looking at people had a conversation in an eye
doctor's office.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
They did say that in and out of office, so
that's kind of it. And apparently you can listen again.
This is technology probably the rest of the world knows.
But it doesn't take much to blow.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
My mind either, you know, virtual reality.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
It doesn't take.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Much to blow my mind.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
You can listen to the show in your glasses and
nobody around you knows. Yeah, think about that. You can
walk down the street listen to KSR. Nobody knows.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
That also record video and nobody knows, which could be
a dangerous game.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Oh really Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
I have a friend that has a pair of those.
He's constantly recording whatever he's doing.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Now, I don't know about that. That seems a little.
Speaker 7 (05:46):
I think one of the OVW guys had that on
the other night because he was in a ladder match
and you can see it from his perspective and he
went off and didn't Is that what.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
The referees are doing now too?
Speaker 7 (05:54):
I did see, Yeah, the glasses on it. You can
see it from a first point point of view.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
That's really interesting.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
So anyway, Uh, this is all just to say.
Speaker 6 (06:03):
That nollage is crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
These days, kids, they have streaming and the movies are
in your team.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I just think it was a big deal when your
lenses would tint, get get dark and then you go outside.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
My grandpa had those.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah, I thought that was cool.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I thought that was the coolest thing ever you go outside.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Chad Northfleet had that in nineteen ninety seven at Transylvania. Yeah,
the peak of technology.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Cool stuff. Now we got my glass. They're talking to me.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, anyway you can, Glenn I Center. Uh here off
off Leastown Road.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Was this complex called town Center Center.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Town Center Town with an E. Right, that's how you
know it's it's fancy towns town with any town Center drive.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
All right, So I want to start with this.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I made the Louisville fans mad yesterday, right, Well, that's
good for you, congratulations. They got very mad at what
I thought was a very simple and non controversial opinion.
And I'll just let's say, I'm not gonna call them
out because I don't want you getting mad at them,
because I know you Louisville people are listening almost all
of the major Louisville shows. Their host wrote me and said,
(07:15):
I was right about this. Okay, So so I don't
know why this makes everybody, but I just make these
Louisville people mad.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Again, thank you for listening.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
But I said, you know that Louisville and Lexing were
different cities. Remember, I Saivince would not be as popular
in Louisville as he is in Lexington. And I was
explaining the differences in blah blah blah, and then somebody
wrote me, Drew, and I thought they explained this perfectly. Okay,
that's rare, very rarely in the commentation do people explain
(07:46):
things perfectly. I thought this was explained perfectly in the
state of Kentucky. The analogy between Kentucky and Louisville. We
like to say it's big brother, little brother. They like
to say they're big brother, which is the stupidest because
there's no way there but big brother and little brother.
(08:08):
I do think down plays a little bit Louisville success. Right,
they're the seventh or eighth the best college basketball program
of all time, depending on your metrics.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
And your big brother in most states exactly.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I mean, the top basketball programs are Tier one Kentucky,
North Carolina, UCLA, Tier two by itself, Duke.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Then I think Kansas.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Is next, and then after that, depending on what you value.
You could say Yukon, you could say Louisville, you could
say Indiana.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Everybody agree with that. Everythay's that fair. Everybody agrees with that, Okay.
But in the state of Kentucky, I've struggled.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
So what is the analogy between Kentucky Louisville and somebody
hit it Drew and see.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
If you agree with this. We are the Lakers. They
are the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Okay, what are you laughing at, Mario like that?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
That's not crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
No, we are the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
They are the Clipper.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
They are the modern Clippers. Not the Clippers that were
terrible all the time, huh, but the modern Clippers. And
what that means is this, in any given year, the
Lakers and the Clippers, the Clippers might be better.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yes, in a given.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Year, the Clippers have Kawhi. They sometimes they had Lamar,
right like they can sometimes have the best the better thing.
But in the state of Kentucky, we are the Lakers
because A we've won more, but B the Lakers losing
is a bigger story in LA than the Clippers win.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
Kentucky is the brand God, The Lakers are the brand.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
The Lakers are the brand.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
You can put us on television and everybody's gonna watch it.
You can put the Clippers on television and they'll watch it,
Drew if they're good.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
If they're good.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
But if they're bad, and they then then Pat Kelsey
has to walk down the street begging people to come
to the games.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Do you have to beg people to come Toakers game?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Never?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
No, But do you sometimes have to make people who
go the Clippers game?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Right now? Are the Clippers games sometimes more fun?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah? Do the Clippers have the nicer arena? Now, yes,
if you've been to it. Do they have their own stars?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Sometimes?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
But the Lakers are the team in Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
We are the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
We you know, as Marcus t would say, we as Kentucky.
We give no blanks. And I think that's the analogy
I've been looking for, and it's the analogy events we'll
realize that in the state of Kentucky. Yeah, if you win,
they'll be nice, they'll be excited, but Kentucky will always
be Kentucky, just like the Lakers will always be looking.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
I like that because you know, when I think of
Los Angeles and I think of basketball, I think of
the Lakers sometimes sometimes I forget the Clippers even exist exactly.
And I think when the Clippers are gone, yeah, people
will go and the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Can beat the Lakers in any giving sure can, yeah,
but they're still the Clippers.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
I love that analogy because that kind of explains it.
You know, the high profile showtime Lakers. That's Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yes, Nicks are us. They're the Nats, right, yep. They
might be better in a given year. They can go
get Durant, Kyrie, et cetera. But the Knicks can have
Jeremy Lynn and people are still excited about it. That's
the analogy, And like I said, I think that's what
Vince is gonna figure out.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
I wasn't sure where you're gonna go with this, but
like I want else, I agree, Kentucky's the show. It's
the hot ticket. You know, you got the I guess
the venue makes a good point. Few things here and there,
a little having a good season, but overall it's all
about Kentucky. So I like this comparison.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Well, I I do get annoyed when Louisville fans listen
and then get my quotes wrong. Somebody wrote yesterday Matt
Jones goes on the radio and says, no one in
Louisville carries about sports. Not what I said.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
No, you said, but I said, half the people don't
care about sports.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
And and that's you live there, you know this.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, I could walk down Bardstown Road.
Speaker 6 (12:08):
None of those people care about sports.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Those people care about sports.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
That's why maybe skateboarding if you cut those a sport, yeah,
or or hackey second.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
Yeah, you know, I guess that could be if.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
We smoking is a sport.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
It's the number.
Speaker 7 (12:22):
One in the world contact bus just from walking around.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
But it is not. And that's the point.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
Yeah, I like that analysis. Yeah, and you're right in Louisville,
you got half the people that don't care. Then the
other half or maybe not half of let's say forty
percent of the other people or Kentucky fans.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Yes.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
So the other thing that happens to a lot of times,
we'll say something, they say, you said it.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Oh, that's my favorite thing.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
I hate that, right, I'll say something that.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
People were like Matt Jones almost fail for a scam.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
That's got a timeshare every that's kind of time share
that's got a kid who signed his name to make
him go to prison.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
I mean it is it's I if I were the
three of you all, I would take it more personally like.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
You all don't have relatively get in trouble for whatever
you say. Can you say anything but nobody goes Matt
Jones is a rock star. Like shit, I only get
the negative from what you all do and none of
the pond.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
That's what happens when you're the star of the show.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Well you are the stary five nine two eight oh
twenty two eighty seven. We are at the Green Eye
Center Jason, excuse me, Glenn Ey Center. Jason. Glenn was
previously located in the Lexington Green for ten years. He
is now here one stop shop exams, glasses, contacts and
medical eye care. Plus you can try on the cool
Meta glasses, talk to it, have a conversation, maybe even
(13:39):
a friend on your face.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
We will take a break and be right back. It's
Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Welcome back at this Kentucky Sports Radio. Eight f I've
nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven, text machine
seven seven two seven seven four five two five four.
People trying to say to me that they also think
the Yankees and Mets are the analogy. I don't think
So the Mets. Yankees are the biggest thing in New York,
but Mets are huge too. I mean the Mets. There's
a huge part of New York City that also is
(14:07):
you know, Queens is pretty much all the Mets. Decent
part of Brooklyn's the Mets. I think the Mets are
almost too big for mine out Lakers, Clippers, I like
more or maybe Dodgers, Angels, Cups, white Socks. It's Louisville
too much credit. Yeah, Cubs, white Sox because you know,
the south side of town likes the White Sox.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
But the Cubs are still the bigger thing.
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Yeah, everybody still, you know, loves the Cubs. Wrigley filled
Bell County, Middlesborough.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Well except where we're.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
The Kentucky is the Kentucky Park.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
We are here at Glenn I Center. Part of the
reason I like going to places like this. I like
these summer things where we go to places with no crawds.
We get to learn about the about the about where
we are. So I was asking about exams and he
said they still they still blow.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
The air, and your yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
That's my It's honestly partially why I tend to wear
old prescriptions.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
I don't want to go get the air blown.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
One of those things.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
You know it's coming, they're telling you it's about to happen,
and you still jump back.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
You know, I hate it and it's and he said,
now they have a way where they can touch your eye.
I'm fine with that. I don't know if I touched
my all the time just for pleasure, but right just
to put my context in so that doesn't really bother me.
You get freaked out when I put my contact.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
I can't even watch videos or other people touch their
own eyes. I can't. It's something about it just freaks
me out.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I like the air blower. You look down the desert
at the hot air balloon and.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
My eyes of water right now just thinking about it.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Oh, it's a beautiful scene that looks like a great
day wherever that was.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
We also got a question here what's your name? That
asked me the question Stacy. Stacy asked me. And you know,
I'm not making fun of this, Stacy, because you're not
the first person that's asked me this in the last
few days, probably been asked this ten or twelve times.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
There were the pictures of all the players, the UK players,
like jumping up in the air right and doing their thing,
and some of them had on what would best be
described drew as a sports bra looking thing exactly what
it looks like. People ask me, what is that sports bra?
But it's men wearing them. Explain to people what that is,
(16:17):
because I've gotten asked that a lot.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
Now they've had them. UK basketball has had them for
a couple of years. You're seeing more guys working out
this summer shirtless, and it looks like they're just out
there in sports bra. But as I understand it, it
reads like everything imaginable, not just heart rate, but they
know how fast you're running and if any given drill
you slow down, that shows up on the chart your
constant movement. Heart rate I'm sure is one of the
(16:40):
biggest parts. But it knows your speed numbers. I can't
even think of to list here. It can read about anything.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Yeah, so yesterday I got to do it. Kind of
a cool thing.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Uh My mom had to take her brother with her
brother to the doctor, so I took I had I
was in charge of Larry for the day. Now you know,
you got you've had a wife and kids. Yeah, you
all had siblings.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
You know, well, didn't, but you did. You have a sister.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
So like, I'm not used to taking care of another person.
So I'm like taking my eighty eight year old father
around and I was like, what am I going to
do with him during this time?
Speaker 3 (17:20):
We need to do something fun. So I took him
to Memorial Coliseum.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Good, I thought he was. He hadn't been in there
since nineteen seventy three. Oh, I should have taken you
with me, Mario, because it was cool, Like Memorial Cosseum has,
you know, all these.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Pictures of all the old teens.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yes, and he was able to walk around and he
was telling me stories about like meeting Alex Groza as
a kid and stuff, and that was really neat to do.
And then UK was nice enough. You know they're redoing that, yeah,
you know, so I thought this was interesting. They're basically
taking away the col Era. Everything up there is MBA, right,
(17:59):
they're kind of making that out, and they're making it
pretty much Kentucky history. Now there was some of that
there before, but they're basically making it to where they're
going to highlight the history of Kentucky basketball in there
and it not just be kind of the last fifteen
years even though I think that's a great idea, it's
(18:21):
also symbolic Ryan in some ways of the change, just
a mentality in.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
The last year, and I think that goes along with
the popeman through with the program. He wants to encompass everybody,
not just the era people that Cal did. So that
big mural you're talking about all those players, it needs
to have. Jamal Mashburn, Rex Chapman.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
We went to the practice.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Ded Moore is very nice to take my dad so
he could see where they practice, and I noticed.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
All that stuff's gone.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Yeah, like all those NBA cards all around, like all
the this is like all of that is gone, Drew.
I think soon to be replaced by just UK SEC Championships,
NCA whatever it is.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
They're going to put up there.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
But the Panini.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Cards of every UK player in the NBA gone.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
I think those Panini cards came down in a hurry,
like maybe days.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
On the walls right now and it was cool.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
At the time when Cow's promoting the message. But there's
the big NBA mural. It's fascinating. It has like twenty
four Kentucky players on it, but they might even be
in their NBA jerseys. They are now that we've closed
the book on that era. I like that Pope is
expanding everything that was nice to show a five star recruit, like, look,
you want to be one of those guys, but the
times have changed. I like it's getting back to the cars.
I understand it.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
What they're gonna do is they're gonna highlight in various sections.
Here is what we've done in the final four. Here's
our NCAA tournament success. Here is our SEC tournament success.
Here are our guys who've had NBA careers. Here are
guys who've won Olympic gold medals. Remember, Kentucky was the
US Olympic team one year in nineteen forty eight. We
(19:52):
were the whole Olympic team. And I think that's gonna
be really cool. The the other thing, and this is
more I think the gen public should know this. Many
of you know this, but many of you may not.
I had never seen it. You know, Memorial Coliseum is
named it's a war memorial for people who died initially
(20:13):
in World War Two, but they have now extended it
to Vietnam and maybe Korea.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
They have now built in front of it these pillars
that are up. They just went up this spring, and
it has the name of every Kentuckian who passed away
in World War two, Vietnam or and maybe Korea.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I think it does.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I know it has World War two in Vietnam because
I saw the names on there. And it is arranged
by county, so you can go to your county that
you live in and see every veteran that passed in
that war. I went with Larry to Bell County. It
was one hundred and sixty seven people in Bell County
and it was all you could see last names that
(20:57):
for me in Bell County, I knew these names like Knuckles, Rosston, etc.
But you could do that for any county and it
is in order, and they are pillars up up in there,
and then if you go inside, there's an electronic touch
screen that.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Has the same names and you can touch.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
And some of them there are stories about them, and
some of them there are interviews with their families or
stories about what they did.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
They really have put.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
The memorial in Memorial Coliseum, and I highly recommend obviously
you have a family member who passed, but even if
you haven't, it's actually a really powerful thing to stand
outside and walk and see every Kentuckian that passed during
these wars.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Big shout out to the folks that UK that did that.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I think it was not just UK Athletics, but some
UK Historical Society people. One of the guys that did
it just happened to be standing there when we were
there and explained some of.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
It to me.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Ryan, I hadn't seen it and really focused on it,
and I thought it was great.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
You know that they used to have all the names
listed when you walk the concourse moral calls then, but
they took them all down, so I think there was
a fear they were going to miss that. So I'm
so glad they put those pillars out in front because
it's really kind of impressive now and you walk up.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
To it, very impressive and you can see like they
have highlighted this is Bell County, this is Breathitt County,
this is Carter County, whatever, And you know, I don't
know that everybody knows that's there, Drew, but now, yeah,
it is straight.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
They made that a priority when they had to redo memorial,
like Ryan said, they lost some parts that have been
there for a long time honoring those people. So it's
nice as they kept them in the in the rebuilding.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
And you also see things when I went that I
didn't expect, like Ricky Lumpkin, former UK football player, giving
a tour to the UK School for the Deaf at
the basketball facility. Really you go like it's like a
mad lib.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Who had any idea that would all be there?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
But there was.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
You know, Adolf Rupp's office is still tucked away back
in the corner, but you can't get to it anymore.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
You can't get to it anymore. But that is neat.
So anyway, we will take your calls.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I just wanted to let people tell cool that we
are here at the Glen I Center in Town Center Drive.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back glen I.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Center here off Town Center Drive, Lee's Town Road. If
you come in and you mentioned ks R, you can
get a free opto map and retinal exam. It's pretty good.
Just mention ksrtle call for the appointment or when you
come in, just mention ks R. It is the Green
Eye Center. Un Why do I keep saying green because
(23:21):
they were like glenn I Center.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
I've already ordered glasses he did, so, Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
The mos they're not moves the Cosmoss. Listen. Either way,
they're gonna be good. You saw it took me one
minute to pick them out. So it's there's a big
selection here, all right. Who's up first?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Rick got Steve first?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Steve, go ahead, Steve.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
Yeah. I little last night to uh talking about high
school football in the playoff system got going in Kentucky. Well,
I'm from Michigan and I moved down here to Indiana
a truck drivers. So that's how I couldn't listen.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
To you so much.
Speaker 8 (24:06):
But anyway, they uh, in Michigan, they've got it broke
down into eight eight classes and it goes by the
number of students and and you know, so breaking down evenly.
I mean, one year you may be in class five
and next year you may be in four, just because
where your student body falls in. And uh, you know,
(24:27):
I tell you Michigan as their high school playoff system
down path. I mean, you know, we have very many
complaints about the way.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
We don't want that, we don't want that. We're unique
in Kentucky on this. We are like the last state
in the country that throws everybody together.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
And we like that.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
And you know what, one point I want to make
one point I want to make is that about the
Michigan system is.
Speaker 8 (24:52):
If you play like uf I get up let's say
a peer of five, and you play up to a
four and if that team is don't want a gig,
you don't get no points.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Understand. And I like the Michigan that's nice. But here
we we we we like.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
I like the fact that in everything but football, we
put everybody together. Yes, the big schools are gonna win more,
but we don't. In college have multiple NCAA tournaments in
Division one. Now you could say, well they have a
Division one, two and three, but that's mostly about whether
or not you give scholarships. It's really has nothing to
do with the thing.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yes, Trinity one baseball this year. Those kind of schools
will win more often than not. But sometimes there are
other schools that win, right, and that's exciting.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
We just had Lyon County versus Harlan And County and.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Years exactly right, two years ago.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
I'm okay if they had the classes in football, but
for basketball and baseball, baseball, keep it the way it's
all you know, you get those little schools, give them
a chance to make it the bigger run they football.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
The teams are so big. I think you have to
do it basketball. You need to five five fine five kids.
It's in your school. Yep, honestly, got five kids in
your school and in any school in theory can do that.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
I like the way that it is too. I agree
with you.
Speaker 7 (26:07):
And I didn't think that our first call would be
about Michigan High school football.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Yeah, I mean, details about how the system works.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I did. I didn't, but you never know. You never
know what you're gonna get here at the glen Is Center.
Who's next? Adam is next?
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Adam?
Speaker 9 (26:19):
Go ahead, Adam, let's call him Matt. Eric Crawford has
a report this morning, and I need your thoughts. Uh, Well,
we're gonna name a road after Tom Jurich.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yeah, I mean, I gotta be careful because this is
my man, Craig Greenberg's decision.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
I appreciate the call, you know.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I mean, look, I saw so they're they're they're bringing
Tom Jurch back and having like Tom.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
Jurich Day or something, having a parade.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Okay, I mean, did he do amazing things at Louisville? Yes?
Did he oversee the destruction of the entire athletics department,
and in some ways the economic structure of the university. Yes, so,
I mean it's their road. They can do what they
want with it. I'm you know, I'm surprised because a
(27:16):
lot of the people, like they all know what Tom did.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Is it just not matter anymore?
Speaker 5 (27:22):
No, They're gonna put the banner back up soon.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Yeah. That actually bothers me less than honoring Tom Jurich
in some ways.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
But I get it. He was very successful.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
But you know, if it was if he was wrong
enough to fire him and get ready get rid of him,
and they just waited till the statute of limitations was
out on all his claims, and now they're gaming a
road after.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Yeah, I'm not surprised, though. Will you be able to
listen to KSR on that road? Will Tom have rights
through people's radios over it there?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Well, So I'm not outraged by it, but I am
a little surprised Ryan, when you consider, I mean, just
think of all the scandals of the I mean I
could sit here and list for you ten scandals, one
of which would have been outrageous at any university, and
ten of which occurred in like four years.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
What if about on the light poles down Jurich Way.
They have a little banner for each scandal, like sometimes
they sound like they're proud of people graduates.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
They could put a little scandal on each.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Constitutes for recruits.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Like that's one to think that people just skip over
that one as if it's if it's if it's nothing.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
Maybe the road they're gonna name him is a back
alley off of Side Street. Kind of be appropriate.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
It's on campus. I think I think they're putting it like.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I think they're putting it like right in the middle
of the What was.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
The only place that would fire somebody? Then give them
a road named after them.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
That's the only place where they would fire.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
You go, I have to fire you because you are
outrageous and ruining the reputation of the university. But by
the way, we're also gonna name a road after you
that will last in perpetuit.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
I can't wait for Billy Gillespie read Joker Phillips Road.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Had how Mummy passed for a little bit. Yeah, they
took it down.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
That's a perfect example. We had how Mummy passed? What
did he do?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Claude Bassett gave people one hundred dollars to go get fish.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I mean like.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
It feels when we took.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
The road down, took it down.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Who's next? Brandy is next?
Speaker 3 (29:21):
I don't know if it was fish or not. I
just feel like it sounded good.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Brandy.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Go ahead, Brandy.
Speaker 10 (29:28):
I'm on, say Matt Jones Boulevard. We need Matt Jones Boulevard.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I have a sign. I think that's Plinny. I gotta sign.
That was That was all I needed in Middlesbrough. But
go ahead. Now.
Speaker 10 (29:41):
I got a couple three things I hadn't called in
a while, but I heard the Evince Marrow thing with
the piano music yesterday, and that's just sad. And I
was always tall. You know, actions not words, So I
thank you actions on his words. And yes, also you
talking yesterday about people that don't get caught for the
(30:03):
crimes that they do. You need to watch The more
Titian on Max.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Okay, so I've heard about this, I haven't watched it.
Have any of you.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Want seen a little bit of it.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
There's apparently it's called The more Titian. Appreciate the call.
It's on.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
It's on Max. I believe it's about a Los Angeles funeral.
Home where bad things occurred. But apparently there's a twist
ending that is supposed to be one of the best
twist endings of all time. You may remember that show
The Jinks was not The Jinks. Is that it was
The Jinks and it had like a crazy ending, which
(30:39):
I won't I mean, it's been fifteen years situation. Yeah,
where he basically was like I did it right, You
forget Michael, he had his mic on, didn't rise by
the way I did it? Oh wait, is this on
the record? This is supposed to have the best twist
ending runs since The Jinx, and it's called The Mortician.
I think it just came out on Max. I have
not seen it, but I've I've heard it. Is that
(31:01):
seems like you're kind of thing.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
Oh yeah, I would definitely watch that. But I feel
like we could look up what the twist is. I mean,
I feel like it would play out in the news. Right,
it's a real story, right, But why would you want
to know?
Speaker 2 (31:10):
You could do that about anything. I mean you could
do yeah, I mean you could ask those glasses over there,
what the twist is?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
The point is? I mean, do you just not want to.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Go to the movie.
Speaker 6 (31:19):
I feel like you know you can.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
When a movie comes out, Shanton just googles how does
it end? Well, I don't need to go.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
If you know how it plays out like that, there's
a did you watch Titanic? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Then you knew the ending.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Yeah, but I wanted to see how it played out.
Speaker 7 (31:33):
I want to see everybody thinks Winsley. Yeah, I am
a big kate ones like I do you love her?
Speaker 2 (31:42):
What was the comedian that really could bit about He
doesn't know anything about history and he watched Tyler Hero.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
That was not the one.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
No, you watched Pearl Harbor and he was like, I
was as shocked as anybody. Yeah, Wednesday is the new Friday.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Eighty seven couple of the once we're a little offt
I'm sorry, Stacey, We're just a little You get us
out in public and then you give us what was
the watermelon over there? Like things start to I wanted
to ask you about your Vandy guys. Yeah, did you
see your guy Diego Pavia?
Speaker 6 (33:38):
Know what's he doing?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Diego Pavia said Starting this year, Vandy would quote run
the state of Tennessee from now.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Oh, I love it.
Speaker 6 (33:47):
I love that cockiness. Screw Tennessee. Yeah, I hope he does.
I hope he does.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
You don't think that's a little poking the bear. Maybe
he's on his way out.
Speaker 6 (33:58):
What does he care?
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Right?
Speaker 3 (34:00):
He playing this year?
Speaker 7 (34:00):
I know, but he's not gonna be around for next
year if they end up, you know, getting their butt
kicked by Tennessee.
Speaker 6 (34:04):
But I love that.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Yeah, do you like that?
Speaker 2 (34:07):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (34:08):
They just beat Alabama last year, why not?
Speaker 3 (34:10):
But they didn't beat Tennessee.
Speaker 6 (34:11):
Well, they're gonna beat him this year.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
They didn't keep their quarterback.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
Here's a lot of talk he's the best quarterback in Tennessee,
including the Titans right now.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
That's probably true, That's probably very true.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Do you think saying that they're going to run the
state of Tennessee from now on is a good idea?
Speaker 4 (34:26):
See, I don't know if it's a great idea, But
I love it. I love the guy, got that kind
of confidence he I know, he tore us up, but
I kind of like watching him play man. He did
a great things for Vandy Lack.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
I think we will. I mean, it's hard to imagine
even a semi successful Kentucky season this year without beating them?
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Do you think that are we going to beat him?
We beat him two years ago at their place.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
We've lost the last two at home.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
I don't love having to see him again.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
That is a game.
Speaker 5 (34:54):
I don't think you can have a good season unless
you just really pull off a big upset, unless you
win those swing games Like.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Yeah, but I don't think like if you.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
Unless you knock off Texas or something crazy. But you
gotta win that Vandy game to have any kind of
any kind of season that could get you into a
bowl game, which a lot of fans need.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
I mean, I would go as far as to say,
if you lose to Vanderbilt, Mark Stoops won't be the
coaching the next year.
Speaker 6 (35:23):
Oh you think it comes down to his entire career.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
It's because of what I'm saying. It's because of what
Drew said, though. Are you gonna have a good year, Well,
if you lose to Vandy and beat Texas, but you
still only have four wins.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
I mean that was just what we did last year.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
We beat Old Miss and didn't beat anybody else and
we had four wins. So I don't think even beating
a Texas is enough if you lose to a Vandy
and I don't see a away you can get to
six wins and lose to Vandy. What is the scenario
where you win three SEC games and don't beat Vandy.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
And in your dreams, probably the only way that's possible,
it's not gonna happen. The thing about the Vandy if
they be Kentucky again, that's three of the last four
years they've surpassed you as as a football program in
the NANCC.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
That's unacceptable. Except to be more clear, if Vandy beat
you this year, you are either the worst or next
to worst team in the It's either you or Mississippi State.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Yep. And and that is pathetic.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Which a second, we've kind of clawed our way to
get in that middle.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
We're in a tier of seventh eighth, top.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Yeah, we were in a time and there were a
couple of years we were arguing, Hey, we're knocking I
mean there was a moment where we had passed Vandy,
we had passed Mississippi State, we had passed Missouri, we
passed arkansasth Carolina, pass South Carolina, and we were sitting
there going, hey, Tennessee Florida. I think we're best, good
or better than you. And then the next step was
(37:00):
George's et cetera. And now we're like, well we might
be Bandy and.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Diego Pove is out there talking trash.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
And he's not even talking trash to Kentucky, Drew, he's
talking trash to Tennessee.
Speaker 5 (37:12):
Oh, he's looking over the top of us, looking to Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
He assumed if there was a Vandy sports radio, which
I think there's a Vandy Science radio, but I don't
think there's a Vandy sports radio, they would look at
the schedule and go, well, we got Kentucky. Sure, right,
wouldn't they do that? Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (37:30):
And so much of stupid success when it was at
its best is fort routinely beating South Carolina, Missouri, and Vandy,
and all three of those programs have gone up another
level while Kentucky's gone backwards. They had that anonymous poll
with coaches just a few weeks ago where it said
Kentucky can't even keep up with Vanderbilt right now in
this new era. I mean, just seeing that print said
(37:50):
enough about Kentucky football right now that other coaches are
said that, Yeah, that was they did that. You know,
the usual summer poll with anonymous coaches. They said Kentucky
is a step behind Vandy in South Carolina right now
in the new era.
Speaker 6 (38:04):
That's very concerning.
Speaker 5 (38:06):
Yeah, like in the big picture, losing three out of
four to Vandy would be bad.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Look too, you just depressed me because there's not that's
there's nothing wrong with that. That's one hundred percent correct.
But that shouldn't happen. No, that's partly why I will
not listen to I've had people involved with UK football
privately say to me something like this, right, well, how
do people expect us with a five to seven million
(38:35):
dollars in il to compete with the twenty million dollar teams?
And the reason that argument falls on deaf ears to
me is you lost Tovany. I mean, if your only
losses were to Georgia, Texas and Alabama, I would hear
that argument. But you lost a van And there's no
(38:55):
human world where Vandy spent more on an aisle than
we did, is there? No?
Speaker 4 (39:00):
You lost a Vandy on your home field the last
two times they've been.
Speaker 6 (39:03):
There and then ask for money the monday after.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Yeah, well I think.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Forgot about that.
Speaker 7 (39:13):
It was Vanderbilt was it they launched the.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
The pony up was after Missouri, but the collective collective.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Exactly.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
Even Missouri shouldn't be that far ahead of you. And
they've been in the playoff conversation last year. They were
disappointed not making the playoff last year.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
I you can't say to me, I mean, I don't
know how you convinced donors to give twenty million dollars
if you don't be Vanderbilt.
Speaker 6 (39:44):
Would you?
Speaker 4 (39:45):
No?
Speaker 2 (39:46):
No, I mean that's part of the thing of this.
Now this may change a little bit in the rev
share but in the nil era I said for a
long time, this is a business, and businesses when things
aren't going well it it's hard to get your stock
price up and to get investors in. And that's what
these sports programs are going to be. You have to perform.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
Yeah, the last time we beat him, I think Ray
Davis had like three or four touchdowns. A Vandy guy,
somebody who's our Ray Davis. We have a Ray Davis
this year that.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Their own guy, the UK's credit. They went out and
stole him.
Speaker 3 (40:21):
Yeah, yeah, so that do.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
I do understand why why Diego Pavia would say that.
Speaker 3 (40:28):
I don't know if it's the smartest thing in the world.
Speaker 7 (40:31):
Was he asked about that or did no one to
ask and he just said it. I think there is
a difference.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
And I just called up and said, listen, we're about
to run Tennessee confidence.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
One person wrote in and said, Matt, I heard Ryan
talking about the scam yesterday.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
I'm glad he said it.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
He is going to end up saving lots of elderly
citizens from losing their money.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
He should take pride in that.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
Well, I hope so, because it was very convincing. I
can see how maybe an older person would fall hook
line and sinker for that and offer up their credit
card information on the phone. So, but maybe maybe by
getting it out there it'll keep somebody from doing that.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
Apparently there is a warning that has been put out
by the Lexington Police in the last few weeks about
your exact.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
Sp I'm telling you I was convinced for about ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Did you not see the warning?
Speaker 6 (41:18):
No? No?
Speaker 4 (41:21):
What lessons have we learned from that? Uh, don't answer
a private number.
Speaker 3 (41:25):
Okay, that's a really good start.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
Yeah, but we told you this four to five years.
Speaker 5 (41:30):
To brag about having conversations with the skimmers.
Speaker 4 (41:32):
Oh I do I still do that?
Speaker 2 (41:34):
Why are we gonna stop that? Since clearly they're outsmarting
you sometimes.
Speaker 4 (41:38):
They did outsmart me this time. You're gonna go next time.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
It's not a contest because with love, you're gonna lose.
They're better at this than you are.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
Very good at it. They had me convinced. So we're
gonna stop. I was just dready to drive down to
the third.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
You're gonna stop answering the private calls?
Speaker 4 (41:57):
Well, what about Stante King?
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Can you tell Dante to leave a message or text you?
Speaker 4 (42:02):
I bet he would leave a message.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Okay, so we're gonna stop the We can't keep losing
money because of Dante because it could be Dante on
the phone. Yeah, you can't keep giving away your credit
card because this could be Dante's.
Speaker 6 (42:16):
Somebody calls
Speaker 3 (42:21):
Need take a break on glenn Is
