(00:57):
In this edition sponsored by the Tjsmidle Offust Tj'll make
them pay, Ryan Little pepping my step today. I was
you can tell, well. I mean, I went to probably
the most fun Reds game I've been to just for
Sheer baseball last night. You know, they were ahead, and
they were behind, but then they came back and won.
Speaker 6 (01:18):
It was great.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Only issue was it was Bark in the Park night. Oh,
which should be against the law.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Did you know you didn't know?
Speaker 6 (01:27):
I did not, of course I did.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
When I find out it's bark in the Park night,
You're exactly right. I would give them away on the show,
like I'm not going to go into voluntarily to share
space with a bunch of dogs.
Speaker 6 (01:40):
They get a huge crowd. It was always huge crowd.
Speaker 5 (01:42):
They combined Bark in the Park with three two one night.
But you know three that's three dollars beer, two dollars
hot dog, one dollar ice cream.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
Oh, so you get but not only do you.
Speaker 5 (01:54):
Get the dog people, you get the cheapskates, and the
combination is a great crowd. But Drew, I I don't
understand the appeal. I'm just gonna tell you, I forget
about the fact that I'm not a dog person. I
don't understand the appeal of bark in the park. If
you have dogs, why do you want to bring them
to the baseball park?
Speaker 7 (02:14):
Get him out of the house, something to do when
you get like, I want to see is playing for
the Twins? There used to be they see other dogs.
They probably have treats for the dogs when they get
to the game. How many dogs are you talking though?
Speaker 6 (02:28):
Did you see.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
There's a bark in the park section? And unfortunately I
went with the Turkey Hunder and he wanted to get
something to eat that was in the bark in the
park section. I think he did it on purpose. So
when we walked over there, you know, Shannon, they all
start smelling you and licking you, and like if humans
did that, we would we would sue them people in
prison for that.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
It's called sexual harassment exactly.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
But the dogs get to do it and everybody.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
So dogs want to see the summer, Revelly.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Yes, but if you you you have a dog, I've
got three dogs, do you want to take it to
a baseball park?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Absolutely not. No, I'm a big dog person, but I'm
not taking my dogs to a baseball game. I want
to enjoy the game.
Speaker 7 (03:13):
Is that because you're misbehave?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Well, I mean, they all misbehave, you know, and then
they start they're just being good boys.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
So I posted online like, oh no, it's barking the
park night and then you know, I'm I'm kind of on.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
The Louisville fan radar right now.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
And so they're all like and the worst person in
the world is worse or something, And this is all
I want to say about dogs. I don't hate dogs.
I'm genuinely like a little scared of them.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yes, you know, I was.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
I was a bit when I was a little kid.
I was a bit when I delivered furniture for Casual
Living and Appliance.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
Does that play still open here in Lexington?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I don't know if it's still open or not.
Speaker 7 (04:01):
When you left.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
They just couldn't keep up with the orders. Casual live
in boys, they.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
They much, but it's honest work.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
The guy the guy would go, he would just go.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
The other guy that drove a truck man and like
the boss would tell us to do something stupid.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
And he go. Casual living boys, as you're living living.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
But I got bit twice and so they just freaked
me out. But everybody acts like that makes you a
bad person. But it seems to be totally fine to
hate cats. Yes, there are people who will.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Openly talk about hating cats.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
I hate cats, I love dogs. I hate cats.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
Okay, so why does it make me a bad person
for not liking dogs? But it's perfectly acceptable for you
to not like cats. I'm fib with cats.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Dogs are much better than cats, pretty based on they're
not terrible, and no one would have shit and you
don't need a litter box for a dog. No one
would have chicken in the park night, that's true. Yeah,
bring your cobra to the park dogs.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Why do we say, first of all, you would never
see a cat in the park, not no.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
If it's the worst, put a cat on a leash?
Speaker 6 (05:02):
Okay, why couldn't you?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Because they're crazy?
Speaker 6 (05:05):
You never you never see it. But why couldn't you
put a cat on?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
It would just flip and jump and yeah crazy, you
can start some cat. I think you can. That can
adapt to that. Most have you ever seen a cat
on the lease? Yeah, like the vet. You're supposed to
bring them on a lease when you can't.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
See somebody walking their cat?
Speaker 8 (05:23):
No?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
No, never, Why they're just things we accept that.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I don't understand they behave differently, and we're gonna get
all the crazy cat women calling us.
Speaker 8 (05:34):
Now.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
First of all, I like cat honestly, cat people, I think,
are you know, a little different, But I like them.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
But I'm just saying I've never understood with animals.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Are okay, you can eat chicken, you can eat cow,
but then you pick other animals and it's like it's
it's insane to eat yeah, and we just we just
arbitrarily do it. Really honestly, Drew, it's based on cuteness, No,
it is. It's based on cuteness.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
We'll eat a pig. A pig is not very cute, we.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
Will eat it.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
We will eat a chicken, we will eat a cow,
we'll eat fish, will eat duck, we'll eat sheep, We'll
eat all that. But dog and then I mean I
would never do this, but in horse like that. In
other countries they do ye here it's insane. So anyway,
I'm my point. None of all this is to say
they should not have a dog in Bark in the
Park night. I don't like it, but I did enjoy
(06:29):
the game where the rents were behind came back one.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
I still can't imagine you even in a scene with
a bunch of dogs at once, Like, I'm surprised you
didn't get to the gate and go right back to
your carswork.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
By the way, is ask anything Wednesday, So eight two
eighty seven you can ask any question. It's a good
chance to ask about gossip, Uh, thoughts, our lives, whatever,
UK sports. Uh to ask anything Wednesday eight. Second thing,
you know we are normally at ks Bar. We've been
in studio this summer while we're doing the renovations at Ksbar,
(07:04):
which requires me, Shannon, to do something you've had to
do a lot, which is interact with people. Yes, yes, no,
I mean like but not in people I don't know,
like not in.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
My comfort zone, like in the elevators.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
And you hit my point, which is the elevator. Now.
A lot of people listening here deal with this on
their daily basis.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
But.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
I literally dread when the elevator opens if I so
don't want there to be anybody else in there, because
it is the most awkward conversation on earth. And no
matter whether you know like the person or not, I
don't know what to say to these people.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
You don't have to say. Can you do that?
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Can you be totally sure you can walk in an
elevator and say nothing.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
It all the time. If I was on one right now,
I wouldn't say anythingunless I knew the person.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
See, I can't do that. Can you do that in
an office like an hotel? I can do it? But
can you do it in an office building? Could you
walk in this building and say nothing? If to the
person in the elevator.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
No, I give them a good morning or a good afternoon.
If I'm getting off they have a good day. I
just give them a little one liner.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
That's it. That's all you do.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
I just did it. There's three people on the elevator
with me. I stepped on on the bottom floor said
how's it going, And when the other guy stepped off
said have a good day, he said same to you.
It's all takes that way. You have that idol, just
a little greeting.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
See.
Speaker 5 (08:24):
I mean, I feel like there's something about me though
that I either want to say nothing or I feel
like I need.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
To relate to them.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
And if you open to tell them about the Reds
a little bit, or you know, some of these people
in this building will know me and go we're about
to catsish.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
That's gonna say you open up that door, they want
to talk.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
You know, it's like a good team. Then like today,
there was a woman on there. She's in there, she's
an attractive woman, like in business gear. And there's something
about an attractive woman dressed in business gear and I'm
in shorts and a hoodie that makes me feel like
I'm inadequate, right, Like like she's looking at me, like
(09:03):
you are a grown man and you are in a
business building.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
Why are you dressed like they're coming to work dressed
like that.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
So then I'm like, I want to go, you know,
I don't normally dress like this. But then that's a
little one that that would be silly to say.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
I feel that one. In this building, there's a lot
of financial places, a lot of financial places.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Today I'm in there.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Guys are wearing suits and I'm in a DraftKings T
shirt with a Kentucky Derby hat. I didn't fill up
to the standard.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Of the A lot of office is here.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
And so you mean you see people and they're in suits,
and I know they're probably envying that we're.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Like wearing this.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
They wish they could sure, but I just that fort
I really don't like forced interaction and elevators are the
most because you're you're pat I don't know how Shannon,
you can say nothing.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
I don't know how you're in it.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
If I don't know, if I know the person, obviously
I would talk to them. But if it's just some stranger,
I don't feel the need to talk to them. If
if they don't want to talk to me first, then
why do I have to feel like I'm the person
who has to initiate the conference?
Speaker 6 (10:04):
Cramer on Seinfeld, who was like talking about how you
hated like.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
What do you think about this weather?
Speaker 6 (10:12):
I just like what That's such inane chatter that I
just don't like it.
Speaker 7 (10:20):
I try not to keep it open ended, like how's
it going? Is not actually a question? That's just me
acknowledging that you're in here with So you actually don't
want to know how I say good morning, how you
doing something like that.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
If you said how's.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
It going and they went, well, you know, I get
my doctor's results today, then.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
I would look at the where we are in the
elevator and hope it goes faster to get to me.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
That's another thing.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
In the elevator, we all just sit and stare at
the number, hoping that it will come and you just
look at it and you.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Like, it's just I hate it.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
There are kind of just a few places where you're
kind of trapped in a combined space like that with
somebody where you almost feel like you're forced to have
some sort of contact with that person.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
And this is and I I try to avoid that
in life, can't avoid it when we're in the studio now. Also,
I saw what did Colin Chandler release his wedding photos?
Weddings are in the news a lot with sports. Did
you see the wedding photos? I feel like they run.
Speaker 7 (11:15):
A bunch out when he first had it. Did you
put out more?
Speaker 6 (11:18):
I feel like I saw more yesterday.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Were there were some on social media that were circulating again, Yeah,
I saw the same thing they knew or they did
the same one.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
He had a press conference yesterd two days ago and
most of the questions were about his wedding. So it
could just be recirculating what I mean, But most of
the conversations.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Like Colin Chandler and I feel bad for him, is
when you talk to him, what are you gonna say?
Like you can't just be like tell me about being
a Mormon, Like, you can't do that, That's that would
be rude. So immediately you just come to the wedding
because what else are you gonna ask him about?
Speaker 7 (11:52):
Well, he and Trent Noah each spoke for fifteen minutes.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
I wasn't there they're gonna ask Noah. Harlan Mountain was like,
how's workouts going? If you it on? Way?
Speaker 7 (12:00):
A lot of basketball questions. When it got to Chandler,
they were like, do you have a hammer? Do you
have a screwdriver? What do you watch on TV?
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Treat him like he's come from another planet. No, I
mean it, like I feel bad for the guy. They
treat him like, oh, you're allowed to drink caffeine and
you can tell he's like so, I feel like the
media needs collectively agree just treat Colin Chandler as a
normal person. Yes, he's married, but immediately the questions are,
(12:33):
you know.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Do you cook for your wife? What's it like?
Speaker 7 (12:35):
What's out the bed you sleeping?
Speaker 6 (12:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
And I just we wouldn't do that for anybody else.
I kind of feel bad for him because the only
things most of our fans and I think this guy
is gonna be good, Like I think he's going to
be Ryan really good, hopefully here next year. But I
feel like sometimes all of us read him as an
(13:00):
alien that has just dropped here from out of space,
this married kid who's been on a mission and all this, and.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
We go, whoa, uh who makes the soup?
Speaker 7 (13:12):
It was to Aberdeen like or to uh Noah like,
what's Denzel Aberdeen?
Speaker 8 (13:16):
Like?
Speaker 7 (13:16):
Oh, you played against Deabonte last year? Tell me about
the freshman coming in And Chandler's like, Hannah, no, you're
out past nine o'clock.
Speaker 6 (13:22):
Loss.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
I was like, just left the maze. He's a player too,
Let him speak about basketball.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
I am guilty.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Yes, I could see your questions. You would be the
worst at this because you would go in there and go,
you know, just did she.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
Give you a hard time? You having to make up
the bed?
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Like I went into Firehouse Subs like a week ago,
and only two people in Firehouse Subs was Colin and
his wife.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
That was it. And what did you say to him?
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I said, hey, I said congratulations and now thanks. You
guys got married pretty quick?
Speaker 5 (13:51):
You said you got married pretty yoats.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I don't know. I should have left it all. I
felt so stupid, so it came out of my mouth.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
You got married. You almost judged their marriage.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, engaged in December, married in May.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Congratulations on the wedding. Is good enough. If you could
have stopped, I should have just stopped.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Then you give your opinion about the amount of their court.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I don't know. And I this is kind of maybe
good therapy for me to get this out of my systems.
I've felt horrible about her, says I said.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
Can you imagine, just flip it?
Speaker 5 (14:23):
You get married to yoga girl, Okay, after you had
dated for five months and a complete stranger walked up
to you and said.
Speaker 6 (14:33):
Well, you guys should have got married quick. Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
I don't think you'd like it.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
I would was someone more than twice your age, being
a reporter and having to have a follow up question
or a follow up.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Of all the stuff to ask you look back up
your point. We immediately go to with him about the
fact he's married.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
You make my point?
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Well, not we you in firehouse subs, not even at
a press cont no.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Sitting there trying to enjoy his foot long.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
And I interrupted, Hey, if I'm nine two eight oh
twenty two eighty seven, is ask anything Wednesday? I'm already
getting angry about them. I'm sorry about the bark in
the park. You're never gonna convince me it's a positive.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Well, here's the positive part about it. Like they had
the Legends game the last week, Fairytale Pet adoptions. They
do it and they try to get pets adopted at
the event.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Okay, so you can adopt man, you can adopt some
of them. I'm for that.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
Can they get adopted outside of the stadium?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Usually tell the concourse, you're right, I'm for it.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
But when I get to my seat and Fluffy is
sitting next to me drooling, it's a little different.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
We'll be right back. It's KSI Welker back Tekey Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
If I'm nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven,
folks are riding in for ask Anything Wednesday questions. All right,
I like these number one for all three of you.
What's the scoop you've had the most right about and
what have you been the most wrong about?
Speaker 6 (15:55):
Let's do right about for me, there's.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Probably two Billy go less bat excuse me, Mark Stoops
being hired at Kentucky. I had that like a few
hours before everybody else and then was left floundering in
the wind because no one would confirm it, and I
got really nervous, and then they ended up doing it.
And then Louisville having their national championship taken away, which
I put out a couple hours before it was announced,
(16:19):
and everybody, uh just got furious at me saying I
was lying, and then it ended up hating.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
So it was probably two most what about you? Most correct?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
The one I probably got the most enjoyment out of
is when I said that Boom Williams had left the
UK football team, and the beat writers for UK are
all chastising me, saying I was that's ridiculous, that's stupid,
and it ended up being true.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
Got it. I think I know your pretty Matt Rowart.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
That will never be top, You'll never be that one.
That our fourth best receiver is gonna start at quarterback.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
It's amazing you got that right. Then.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
What's the one you've been the most wrong about? Was
it a few weeks ago this summer?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yeah? The recruiting trail, the last last in April and
May probably the whole time I really kind of swung
and missed.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
Yeah, I think you missed out.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Still felt good, with the information though, and I still
feel good about it, just didn't happening.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
I think mine's got to be a recruit that I
said would come here.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Probably.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
I think I was pretty strong on that Andrew Wiggins
was gonna come because no, no, no, no, it wasn't Shabbas Mohammed. Yeah,
because COL was certain Sabas Mohammed would come, and then
he didn't come. So I was pretty adamant that they
were gonna get him and then they didn't.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
What about you?
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Nothing's jumping out. I'm sure I've been wrong a thousand times,
but I can't think of a major one. Probably a
recruit where I had him going to Kentucky and didn't.
But nothing's coming to mind right now. I'm wrong so much.
They all just bleed together.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
One person of rights, Matt, what's the worst, what's your
all's worst? First date? I had one date where I
met someone and they had just completely shanning catfish me,
like they sent me pictures that were not them. Oh,
it's bad, and I don't be like, didn't like they
it was young, because you know that'll happen, like people
are younger or whatever like than in their picture. This
(18:01):
just wasn't the same person, and so that was bad
because I had to be like, you're not the person
the pictures, and they're like, but you would like.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Me, and I was like, you get to know me.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
And then one time I got in like a legitimate
like argument to the where the person stormed out.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I can see that this was a long.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Time ago, just like two thousand and four Carrie Bush
election had just happened.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
I thought, you're gonna name the person when you say
your name was Carrie Bush.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Carrie Bush had happened, and she was insisting that even
though I was for Carrie, she was insisting the election
had been stolen. She was like, a what do you
call it? Stopped the steal before anybody else And I
was like, no, it didn't, and she got so mad
she stormed out. So actually I was taking up for
the GOP and it what's your worst first date?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
To be honestly, I've not had a because.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
You get married the momenture of the.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Relations I.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Know I had won in high school where a girl
had bad breath. That's probably what it been. It and
we never went out ever again.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
Ever, Yeah, that's not a very good story. What about you?
Speaker 7 (19:04):
Nothing major where we're just sitting down at a restaurant,
it's the two of us and we're arguing about Carrie Bush.
But uh, I can college a few group settings where
there I'm brought in with a group of dates and
they brought in and we immediately don't click and just
slowly drift apart as the night goes on.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
Hey, you almost I'm not gonna say never, but it
almost never works, Shannon.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Every date on it's just lunch. I mean, I got
no showed. How does it get any worse than your
first date?
Speaker 4 (19:29):
No showing?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
You?
Speaker 3 (19:30):
You got no show multiple times, multiple times, And I said,
enough of this. I'm wasting time, effort, and money and
not even at getting a date out of it.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
What's going on here?
Speaker 5 (19:37):
I generally try to have a good first date regardless,
just because like you're stuck with.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
The person, why not try to have some fun.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
But the second one decides.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yeah, whether you have a second or not.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
Let's go to Adam, go ahead at him.
Speaker 9 (19:52):
Hey man, I'm I'm a dog person. I've had a
dog every single year of my life and I'm almost forty.
But I agree with you one hundred percent. The bark
at the park is the worst sports promo by far,
thank you. It's it's ridiculous, Like I don't want to
be around other people's dogs. I'm not bringing my dog.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
To the park, thank you. I mean, we don't do
anything else.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
We don't have bark at the court, bark on the ice,
bark on the course doesn't sound as good.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
But is it just because it you know, we don't
know to bring your dog to work day. I don't
think they let people bring their dogs to school, do
they No?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
But like at UK, if your emotional support dog, they're
letting those got that.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
It's a whole nother thing. I don't want to get
into that. I don't, you know. I I don't because
I am sure there are people out there that need it.
But the amount of dogs that have found their way
onto planes with vess on that say support that did
not exist even ten years.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
No. But but I don't want to get into that.
But I'm with you, Adam, go ahead.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
Yeah. So my question is if you could take away
one loss out of these three, what would it be?
If you could get rid of the ninety two Duke loss, Yes,
the ninety seven Arizona loss or the twenty fifteen Wisconsin loss.
What are you doing well?
Speaker 5 (21:10):
So the one that hurt me the most, I appreciate
the calls without question ninety two Duke. But now that
I have the step back of history, I think the
one that would have been best for the Kentucky basketball
program as a whole would be twenty fifteen Wisconsin. We
would have been undefeated, probably be the last team to
ever go undefeated. I think that team, if they win
(21:31):
the title, would have been considered one of the three
or four four best teams in the history of college basketball.
I think John cal Perry's legacy is different if they
win that game. I think John cal Perry probably retires
gracefully at Kentucky if they win that game. So, if
you're just talking to one that I wish we had
the most we were gonna beat Duke in the finals,
(21:51):
I would have said twenty fifteen Wisconsin, because I think
if we won in ninety two, we probably still would
have lost in the final four, just because.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
That was a great final four. Yeah, oh yeah, I
would say twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
If you go undefeated and you win a title, the
entire narrative of John Caliperi completely changes here, completely changes
he looks.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Like a different coach historically if he wins.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
That historically one of the greatest ever they pull that
off when g undefeated and win the title that season.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
So yeah, I would say that one. What about you?
Speaker 7 (22:18):
That would hurt me the most. But I'm gonna be
different and take ninety seven because it's a guaranteed title.
I think Kentucky would have beat Duke in the championship
in twenty fifteen, but you know it's not guaranteed. And
the three options you've given me here, if they beat Arizona,
that's just a guaranteed banner up in Ropparina. So I've
been a three peat too, Yeah, three peat certainly back
to back. Who knows what would happened with everything moving forward.
(22:40):
I'll take the Arizona one just to get another ring. Yeah,
that is the one that would guarantee you a ring,
because it would you would you take ninety seven over
twenty fourteen? Well it's oh in the championship game, yes,
nack no. Selfishly, I was there, Calier was just getting
started running. I would take twenty fourteen there, Yeah, I
understand that that makes this. We'll take you BA ask
(23:02):
anything Wednesday. I'm eighty seven KSR.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney, called TJ. He'll make them pay.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Welcome back to you Sports Radio tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
We are in Independence, Kentucky at the listener's house for
the KSR comes to you, Uh, do they have a dog?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Apparently he just sent me a text. He must have
been listening heard the conversation. He has two dogs. Yeah,
but he's agreed to put them up thank you while
we're there for the show tomorrow morning, so you will
have no worries.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Has to I mean, I don't say it to be rude.
I just I cannot do a show with a dog
licking my crotch during the Darlin.
Speaker 6 (23:44):
I cannot.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
I just can't do it. So I appreciate him being
considered about it.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yes, he's very concerned.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
Most of my friends.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
Are very good about they put the dog because I
just you know, I can't. So that's very nice of him.
So tell him.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Thinks most people are understanding that some people are just
a little leery around a dog.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
I've said this before, but I have a friendship that
basically ended because I said, I can't stay at your
house unless you put the dog up. And they said, well,
we can't put the dog up, and I said, okay,
that's fine. I'll just stay at a hotel. We'll see after.
And it just caused, like I really had. It's never
been the same with him, and I was twenty years ago,
and I don't know what else I could.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
People just have to understand some people just like.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
I wasn't demanding he put the dog away.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
I was just like, I can't stay at your house
because he had huge greyhounds, like huge, yeah, and there
were two of them. And I was like I can't.
I can't do it, but that and sometimes that's great.
That's how the great things end. I before you get
the phones, I got a picture you last night. I
said to you guys, I'm not gonna post it because
(24:39):
I don't encourage this behavior. But somebody was at Jeff
Ruby's last night saw Vince Merrill. He was sitting he
was sitting at the bar by himself, and they watched
him and no one like was there. I love to
eat by myself, That's what I would prefer. But it
is that in a nutshell, that is what I'm talking
(24:59):
about but difference between Lexingon because when that happened at Lexington,
do you think he could go two minutes without people?
Speaker 7 (25:06):
But I've been there many times, sitting by myself at
the bar, when he's walked in and he's been escorted
to a table that's waiting. There's a mob of people
wanting to shake his hand, and he loves drink. Food
already on the table, ready to go, and he loves it. Yes,
like I, this is where he and I are different.
I actually would like that scenario, but he wouldn't. And
that picture, which I think he waited until he looked
(25:28):
sad when they sent the picture and was like sad Vins,
I don't want Viz to be sad. But I did
see that picture. The restaurant was full and he was
by himself. I was like, that's the difference Stwing Lexington
and Louisville.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Right there, he looked pitiful and it made me feel
bad for him, sitting there all by him.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Saying did you feel bad? Within the picture?
Speaker 3 (25:45):
I didn't feel bad. No, I mean, he knew what
he was doing. He signed up for this, Nobody made
him go to Louisville. He chose this, but you know
there he is hanging out with the Jeff.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
Ruby's manager in Louisville.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Just got one over the Jeff Rubies manager in Lexington,
got the regular their visits coming.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
It looked that picture looked like it was probably taken
in like Idaho, somewhere way out of Kentucky and it's
in Louisville.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
He did, look sad? I did?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
It looks sad?
Speaker 6 (26:09):
Ben? Go ahead, Ben, hey man, how you doing good?
As any Wednesday? Who are.
Speaker 10 (26:18):
So?
Speaker 8 (26:19):
I work with the special needs adult in the summer.
I'm a teacher during the school year, obviously, and he
is terrified of dogs. So every time, like we have
to fore little kids too, and we have to and
they love dogs. So it's like a Tetris game whenever
he comes and visits. So like we have to put
the dog in all different places around the house to hiding.
(26:39):
So the the so so Kevin, our are our kid.
I work with he he just not.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
Exactly like that.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
I'm just saying, like, it's not it's not that you
have to, it's not exactly the same thing.
Speaker 8 (26:53):
He just he just when he was a young he
just had a bad experience with the dog. And and
and he just will not cannot handle them. And my
my kids love dogs, so it's it's it's a Teris game. Also,
today is my my parents, Howard and Debbie's fifty fourth
wedding anniversary.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Well, happy anniversary, Howard, Howard and Debbie Happy Kentucky. Apreciate,
appreciate the call, Howard and Debbie. Uh, happy anniversary. I
hope you have a wonderful one. Did you know, Ryan,
you know the Meadowbrook golf course here in Lexis.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
Oh, yes, the par three course. Yeah? Have you played it?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
I played it a lot back in the day.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
So you know you know it?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Do you know who owns it?
Speaker 2 (27:38):
The city?
Speaker 6 (27:38):
No?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I don't know this.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
You know who owns it? No?
Speaker 7 (27:41):
I thought it was just a city course.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Do you know who owns it?
Speaker 4 (27:43):
I have no idea.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
No, I just learned this this morning. The Fayette County
Public Schools.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
They do own it to sit right there behind Southern
Middle School.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
There's a story that there are people say now they
lease it to the city. Okay, but there there's a
story that in the in the Herald about how you know,
Fayett County Public Schools are trying to raise money to
balance their budget. They need to raise sixteen million dollars
and there are people saying, why don't you sell that
golf course. I don't know how much you could get,
(28:16):
probably not sixteen million, but maybe a few million because
you're a school district. Why are you using the golf course?
And I'm sitting there thinking, I love Meadowbrook. It's awesome
for people learning how to play there. I'm sure someone
Drew would buy it and might even turn it into
like a really fun play huh, a par three course.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
Maybe put in lies, Yeah, all that, don't you think?
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Don't you think that the city the Why does a
school district need a golf course?
Speaker 6 (28:49):
I hadn't.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I mean, like I said, it's a look at in
the backyard of Southern Middle School so subther Elementary School.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
And that may be part of what they worry about
is if you make a big party thing back there.
Speaker 6 (28:58):
It's behind the school.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
But wouldn't it be awesome to have it lit during
the summer and where young guy young kids can go
play golf out there.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
We've talked about this before, but I can't remember what
the name of There used to be a part three
course in Lexington, that was like that right with lights
there was it was over on uh and it had
light I think so, and it was I don't remember
if it was good, but it was it was like
(29:27):
a social thing. I feel like that would work, don't
you in Lexington?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (29:33):
And I haven't seen Meadowbrook in a long time. Used
to play it a lot. Someone recently told me recent
is in like this week that they're in a league
at Meadowbrook, so they're at least still getting a little
bit of attention. I agree with you if you could
blow it up and make it even better because it's
just been a it's a.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
Down.
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Probably put a little bit of money into it and
make it into something nice. Now you do have that
school there, and don't know how that would affect things
having that school because it's back behind the school. But
I feel like Shannon, you know everybody goes to top golf.
Oh don't you think a par three course with lights
(30:13):
and like make it a party thing?
Speaker 6 (30:16):
Don't you think that would work?
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Yeah, I think it would, But I don't know, like
you guys don't have Top golf in Lexington though, do you?
Speaker 6 (30:22):
We don't. But that's why I think it would work.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
Yet we don't have top golf, so it could be
our version of top golf, and the Fayette County Public
schools could get some of this money that they're trying
to get instead of raising everybody's tax make sense.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
I would love a night league, like, yeah, you know,
every Wednesday night at nine pm, you're twenty nine dollars.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
And even if they just did it when school's out
like June July, most of all, guts, just do it
for two and a half months. Then you can have
the lights on and you know, play at night.
Speaker 5 (30:50):
Well, I would think you could have it just when
the school club, Like, okay, so until three o'clock it's
not open, but then it opens at three o'clock.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Do that?
Speaker 6 (30:59):
You could do that, right?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (31:00):
I mean people are hitting golf balls left and right
during school hours out there anyway. Now it is a
dangerous place for people beginning because the fairways you just
keep passing each other.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
You can get.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
You can get hit easily if you want there. And
then they have that one hole where you hit a driver. Yeah,
first time I ever played it. That just stars part three.
Speaker 7 (31:20):
I'm carrying like a wedge and a nine iron, and
then suddenly we were on a three hundred yard yard
hole that you have to that comes out.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Of the design. I think you're supposed to be able
to hit every club in your bag, right.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Yeah, but really, people are good. Can just take a wedge,
yeah and play and yeah.
Speaker 11 (31:35):
Nick, go ahead and Nick, well, good morning fellas.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Good morning.
Speaker 7 (31:41):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (31:41):
Last so last.
Speaker 11 (31:42):
Season was really tough for me.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (31:44):
My family is a Kentucky, Ohio State, Arkansas family. You
guys can see whe I'm going with this.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (31:51):
Last year was tough enough to talk to my dad
about the Arkansas loss.
Speaker 10 (31:53):
But I was at the.
Speaker 11 (31:55):
Playoff games at the Shoe dressed in Kentucky gear because
we were playing Ohio State basketball that night.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
Oh yeah, I forgot we did. Yeah.
Speaker 11 (32:04):
Oh it was so tough. They come over to speaker
on the stadium. They're like this, just in Ohio State fans,
you just be the Kentucky Wildcats in the garden. So
that was tough. My questions because I've got i want
vengeance next year. Who what game do y'all have circle
next season? We've got a schedule coming up. I just
want to know here from each of you, which games.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
I'm in basketball? I mean, the one that I'd like to.
I mean, I think it's a good question. I appreciate
the call if you were too, If you were to say,
what game next year is the most important for you
to win? You could win any of the games next
year on the schedule, and that would be Home Indiana,
Home North Carolina, Neutral, Gonzaga, Rhode Louisville, Champions, Classic, Michigan State,
(32:50):
the other Classic, Saint John's or SEC games. Ryan, you
get to pick one to win. What do you pick it?
Actually think about it, and you let me know, because
I do want to discuss this. Get you get one
game out of those that I guarantee you a victory.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
You know, last year the answer would have been beat
Cal at Arkansas. But this year, I think it's a
lot more choices.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
You could pick. Which one are you picking? And raise
a glass for the Cats. Club Blue is the official
in Ale Punt fundraising partner of the University of Kentucky.
They're covered for these hot summer days with the collectible
Club Blue Bourbon bottles Club Blue Kentucky like beer, Club

Look for Club Blue Drinks at a place near you.
We'll take a break.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
Me right back. What is the game you want to
win the most? Next? Welcome back?
Speaker 5 (33:46):
Tell you sports radio, all right, answer that question for me, Ryan,
which game you want to win the most?
Speaker 2 (33:52):
I think me as a fan, you gotta beat Cow.
You can't let Cow.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
Beat you two years in a row at Arkansas.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
At Arkansas, I think kind of eases the sting of
him winning at RUP last year.
Speaker 7 (34:02):
True, I didn't need any time to think about it,
didn't need the break. Louisville's getting way too chesty over there.
Got to beat them in the young Center and remind
them that it's business as usual even though their coaches
keep changing.
Speaker 5 (34:14):
Considering there's a good chance that two weeks after we
play the game we might lose to them in football,
I think we got to beat them in basketball.
Speaker 7 (34:22):
They need to calm down over there.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Mine's gonna be at Louisville one, at Arkansas two and
then three. Probably whichever of all those other teams ends
up the best.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
You can't lose to Indiana and North Klinda both at
Rup you gotta.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
I ain'd be nice to beat Alabama or Auburn just
because it feels like we haven't beat I mean, Alabama's
kind of had our number. Yeah, they did a little bit,
So that's what I would say, Shannon.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
The answer never changes for me. It's always levell there
your biggest rival for a reason. So I think it's
always Lovelle, regardless if they're good or they're terrible.
Speaker 5 (34:57):
You want to be at Louisville, Yeah, I think the
for me, the Louisville one is probably the one that
goes the best. Dif you've seen the story Shannon about
the dude on the bike in.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Iran, No, no, okay.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
So there's a guy who on TikTok he rides his
bike from like one end of a continent to another.
So at one point he rode his bike from the
United States all the way down to whatever the tip
of South America would be. I guess maybe part of
Argentina down at the very tip. Then I think he
rode his bike maybe from I don't know what the
(35:36):
other one was, maybe across Asia or something. So he's
doing a thing now where he was going to ride
his bike from England to Japan.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
That's quite ambitious.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
England to Japan. God, and he got to Iran. So
to get there you have to go through Iran. Well,
his timing was not great, right because he gets to
a Ran like a week and a half ago, and
his timing is even worse because he was supposed to
be in Tehran like.
Speaker 6 (36:06):
Two days ago.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
So he hears and I guess, now, Shannon is ill,
you will be arrested if you are in Iran as
an American right now?
Speaker 4 (36:15):
Yeah, so I think that would at that.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
So he's posting all this on TikTok.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
So he posts a video on TikTok and it's called
like bike bike through bike to Japan or something is
this thing? And he posts a TikTok and he's like,
I'm in Iran. I'm not trying to show you where
I am because I will be arrested. But hey, there's
no communication. If anyone can get me out of here,
(36:42):
it's it's scary if you watch the video. And so
everybody I've seen people go, what what are we gonna do?
Then last night he posts, okay, someone has said helped
me get to Iserbaijan a visa. I've hired this and
it's a guy to drive me the eight hours to
(37:03):
the iSER by Jean border, and then he takes a
video of them going. They get pulled over by the military.
He acts like he's Spanish, which he doesn't even look Spanish,
so I don't know how I pulled that off. They
get through, then he gets to the border. He crosses
the border and there's all this media waiting for him
because they're they're like looking for Americans trying to get
(37:23):
out of a ran. I just I highly recommend. It's
fascinating watching this dude. I give him credit, he's very
calm during all this, but then he just gets the
iSER by Jean. Shannon gets back on his bike and
starts riding towards Japan again.
Speaker 3 (37:37):
First thing I would do is stop posting on TikTok.
I mean, they find your location and when you're using
that phone, so that's kind of dumb, just to get
a few likes and clicks, you know, and potentially risk
getting thrown into prison or killed.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
Do you have the account drew or you pulled it up.
It's like it's something like bike to Japan or something.
Speaker 6 (37:57):
But it is.
Speaker 5 (37:58):
There's like his last three or four videos y'all to
watch just for the you can see how scared he is. Yeah,
and you can under you can understand why he would be.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
But I mean, he knew this going into the country.
Speaker 5 (38:10):
He didn't know that Israel was going to Like, he
didn't know Israel and Aram we're gonna go to war
with each other.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
I think when he when he went so that kind
of was Shannon. I would not be publicizing where I am.
Speaker 5 (38:21):
It's it's Ride with Ian, Ride with Ian and uh.
His last three or four videos are the ones to watch.
His count of views went way up. He was getting
like five thousand, and now they're each getting a million.
Speaker 6 (38:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
I needs to calm down. He's going to get himself killed.
Speaker 7 (38:42):
He's got to keep recording. It wasn't picking up when
he did.
Speaker 6 (38:45):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 7 (38:48):
If he wants the likes, I don't know, man.
Speaker 5 (38:51):
I just want to get out of there from my
own forget about being arrested. I wouldn't want to get
hit with a missile.
Speaker 6 (38:55):
Amen, you know. So Austin, go ahead, Austin.
Speaker 12 (39:00):
Hey, guys, So it feels like college football is really,
you know, far away. But it's really just around the corner,
especially with NBA winded down, and everybody's gonna start turning
their minds to walking up in the fall. And it's
I don't know if it's a question or as much
of a statement, but I've talked to a lot of family,
(39:21):
friends and my buddies about this. But this is the
first time in a long time that I think a
lot of people feel the same way.
Speaker 9 (39:29):
But I don't really have any emotion.
Speaker 12 (39:31):
Towards Kentucky football this fall. And I know I've always
heard the saying of you'd rather be hated than have
no opinion about something, because that just means you're irrelevant.
But I'm not really angry, I'm not excited, and I'm
having a hard time finding something to lean on. We
don't really have a star player.
Speaker 5 (39:50):
Then I don't think you're the only one. I don't
think you're the only one like this. I appreciate the call.
I think there are a lot of people that are
like that ride who just they don't have they don't
have a opinion either way.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Yeah, and that's what's kind of sad. The football probably
would work so hard to get us all excited about
what they were doing over there. Every year was a
good year. Now they've kind of fell backwards a little bit,
and then the callers, right, there's no like one guy
we can kind of hang our hat on because we
don't know about it. Is Calzada going to be the guy?
You know, the running back from Nebraska going to be
the guy?
Speaker 9 (40:24):
You know?
Speaker 5 (40:25):
We least emotion I've had about a season since Joker's
second year, his last year in terms of I didn't
expect anything to happen that year, and I kind of
feel that way this year too.
Speaker 7 (40:38):
Yeah, I'm in a weird spot because I'm really excited
about the season, but also don't have hot you excited
just football season in general. Going to the stadium. I'm
excited to see how the team actually looks with so
many new pieces. I'm genuinely looking forward to it. But
at the same time, I have a very low bar
for how I think it's going to turn out. I'm
in a weird headspace where I can't wait for it
to get here. I want to get out there and
(40:59):
watch it. I also don't think it's going to go
very well.
Speaker 6 (41:02):
I hope to be wrong me too.
Speaker 5 (41:04):
I mean, I hope that like I hope they beat
Toledo and then we go into that old Miss game
and it's wild and it's exciting, and maybe we win.
But I just I'm with the caller. I do not
feel that yet. Hopefully we will. We will get to
will go ahead, will.
Speaker 10 (41:20):
Like a Hey, Matt, So first I want to ask
about so what happens with Club Blue and Io and
Commonwealth causes with this new NCAA ruling. Do they just
like disappear?
Speaker 6 (41:34):
What happens?
Speaker 9 (41:35):
All the money in there?
Speaker 5 (41:36):
But that's more than thirty seconds response, I'll do that
when we get back.
Speaker 6 (41:39):
We go ahead.
Speaker 10 (41:40):
Yeah, And I wanted to thank Ryan for being a
guest speaker an MC at our bank.
