This is Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now
here's Matt Jones.

Speaker 4 (00:35):
Welcome everyone. It is Kentucky Sports Radio, Thursday August to seventh.
I cannot believe it's Thursday, August seventh. I mean, we're
three weeks from my birthday.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
College football.

four five two five four in the station sponsored by
the Tjsmith Office called TJ. I'll make them pay here away.
I think about it. We are three weeks from my birthday.
Less than three weeks from reopening the restaurant. We've got

(01:08):
our fifteenth anniversary for the radio show coming in in September,
and then our twentieth anniversary for the website coming in October.
I mean, that's crazy to me if you think about it.
I mean that twenty years since the first post I
wrote on the website and I turned thirty seven. It

(01:31):
ad on Facebook, I know. I mean, like, I'm like
pushing forty. Now, how did I pass you? It's odd
how it's odd how numbers work now, because like you know,
there's like it's Ai okay, and I used to be
the young one, yeah, and now you're you're older, and
like that's.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Just you're the old married man now.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
You do wonder how that happens. But again, this is
the new technolog You're gonna have to get used to
it and catch out.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yeah, So when did you started the website at seventeen?

Speaker 4 (02:00):
I know that was why it was so You're still
so aggressive at the time. I hadn't even graduated from
Middlesborough High School yet, you know, you still had a
tonel on your Tino was still Tino was still the coach,
but I acted like it was Tubby. I knew he
was coming. It's crazy. Years is a long time, twenty
years is a it is a long time, and that
and that hits in October. If I'm nine two eight

(02:22):
oh twenty two eighty seven, text machine is seven seven
two seven seven four five two five four. I've had
really nice compliments from you all the last couple of
days of show. I it continues my belief that the
less things there are to talk about of importance, the
better we do. I think the just when I just

(02:43):
look for like when I have things written on my
topic sheet like Oreos, that usually ends up being a
better show. To be honest with you, because we're not
we don't know anything money, Well yeah we might as
well talk about not knowing anything. That's generally better. Well,
you know me, that's my favorite show. I try to
get way off topic every time, so yeah, I'm looking

(03:05):
forward to it.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
Now.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
We do have a couple of real things, and then
I have things like just to give you an example, here,
here are the words written on my sheet today, Oreos, Harrodsburg,
Eastern Cemetery, smelling salts, Bill Taylor, Microsoft work day, and
uh checking account update.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
That sounded like a hell of a show we got
coming up today, my goodness.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Oh and South Africa women. But there's a reason. There's
a reason for that. Shannon breaking news that needs a
word trip involved as well, but let me it's not well,
you'll see, assuming we get to it. But I think
we need to start with uh. We need to start
with basketball. The UK basketball schedule has come out, okay, uh,

(03:55):
And the SEC schedule we still don't have the non
comment chip, and it includes obviously nine home games, nine
road games. We play everybody once. We play Florida, Tennessee
and Vanderbilt twice. That's not abnormal. Last year they took
Florida out for twice put in Alabama, but you know,
Florida end up winning the national championship, so obviously they

(04:17):
were still very good. I looked at the schedule and
we're going to go through here and do our wins loss, Okay,
but a couple things stuck out to me. First of all,
our road schedule is like again, and a lot of
this is just random, but this is a harder schedule

(04:37):
for us on the road than normal, I thought. So
I think you could make an argument that three teams
we play that we only play once. The hardest three
We get them all on the run of the road. Auburn, Alabama,
and Arkansas. I think those are the three hardest teams
we play that are not played twice, and we get
all of them on the road. Our home games are

(05:01):
relatively weak, honestly. You know, you got Missouri, Mississippi State, Texas,
Old miss Oklahoma, Georgia. Those are the uh those are
the first six of the first seven home games. You
should win those and then you play Tennessee Vanderbilt in Florida.
So I mean the home SEC schedule is actually pretty bad.

(05:21):
But then you have to remember that last year it
was Alabama, Auburn, Arkansas, Tennessee. For like, the home schedule
is crazy good, but the road schedule's tough. I mean,
the road schedule has losses in it. And I don't
know that i'd process that that was gonna be what
it looks like, but it is, and that's you know,
that's that's gonna be an issue. It looks to me

(05:43):
like the hard games are balanced pretty well throughout. There's
not necessarily a run of really hard games. There is
a run in from January thirty first to February fourteenth
where you have at Arkansas, Oklahoma at home, Tennessee at
home at Florida. That's kind of a tough, sure, But
in general it's spread out pretty well, and I think

(06:03):
that maybe the key thing for me is you've got
a stretch. You play Alabama on the road, then you
got Missouri at home, Missippi State at home, LSU on
the road, where if you lost at Alabama game you
can get it back by winning. So I think it's
a pretty balanced schedule. But I thought what we do
is we just go through here and do our wins loss. Sure,

(06:24):
so all you're supposed to do here is say win
or loss, and then on your own sheet of paper,
you keep what you think the record's gonna bey's everybody
got that?

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Got it?

Speaker 4 (06:34):
You got it, Shannon? All right, So I'm gonna get started.
I'll just start with you out, Drew. Let's just roll
through here at Alabama. Start to the year, January third, Saturday.
I hate to do it, but I'm gonna stay starting
with a loss. Starting with a loss, right, you gotta
lose somewhere.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Loss.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
I'm gonna say loss, share it, loss, all right? So
we each have one loss there Missouri at home? When
when when win Mississippi State at home? When when when
win l s U on the road? Win?

Speaker 2 (07:04):
When when win?

Speaker 4 (07:06):
All right, so now all of us have us three
and one.

Speaker 6 (07:08):
Yeah at Tennessee when Knoxville has been good to the Cats.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
That's right. For whatever reason, they seem to play their
best basketball at Knoxville. I got any think has a win.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
To Shannon loss, I'm gonna take a loss. So that's
our second Texas at home? When on my mom's birthday, Mom,
I'll take you to that game if you want to
go a win? When when uh win Ole miss at home? When?

Speaker 2 (07:30):
When when win Vandy on the road? When when when win?

Speaker 4 (07:37):
We're gonna take over Nashville in that game? That's ah
is that that's in the that's in the middle of
the at Arkansas. I'm gonna do it.

Speaker 6 (07:44):
Loss.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
That's a loss.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Now we get them back. We okl We're getting to win.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
Shannon's right, Yeah, wu pig pooey. We're gonna go down
here and get it back on the road, and that's
going to be a win. I like that one. They Shannon,
you and I are on the exact same page. Because
you're right, we're gonna go steal one that that that
that's a win all right? Uh Oklahoma at home? When
when on a buzzer beater?

Speaker 2 (08:09):
When win?

Speaker 4 (08:11):
I got that with Tennessee at home?

Speaker 6 (08:12):
When when sweeping Tennessee?

Speaker 4 (08:14):
When when at Florida loss?

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Loss, loss, I'm.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
Gonna say loss, that's my third? Uh Georgia at home?

Speaker 7 (08:24):
When?

Speaker 2 (08:25):
When? When when at Auburn loss loss?

Speaker 3 (08:32):
That one's tough. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna say win
on that one.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
See Shannon and I are rolling, we're stealing that one.
Bruce Pearl's gonna be stinky and sweating, and he's gonna
be sad because he's gonna walk out of there with
the loss as we steal one on the road in Auburn.
I like that when at South Carolina? When when?

Speaker 2 (08:51):
When when at.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Vane or see me Vandy at home?

Speaker 6 (08:55):
When?

Speaker 2 (08:56):
When?

Speaker 4 (08:56):
When this is gonna be my? We always lose one
that we shouldn't lose.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
You Takeandy at home my loss?

Speaker 4 (09:04):
No, No, I'm sorry. We was at Vandy at home. No,
Vandy's a win at A and M. Sweining alert. I'm
taking a loss at A and M. That's gonna be
my We shouldn't lose it, But you lose.

Speaker 6 (09:14):
One I'm going win, but that's gonna be a hard game.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
I'm going at you got.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
A good coach, I'll probably say win.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
I'm going win, all.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
Right, So now I'm uh. And then finally Florida at home.
I think this could be for the SEC type.

Speaker 6 (09:27):
That's exactly what it's gonna be for.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
And I say a win, win could be a great
game that day.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, I think they'll win.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
I'm gonna say win. So I have fourteen and four
with the losses at Alabama, at Tennessee, at Florida, at
A and M. That's gonna be those are my four
What are you?

Speaker 6 (09:46):
I had four losses were Alabama, at Florida, Arkansas, and Auburn.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Okay, I had the exact same thing as Drew.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
All right, and Shannon you have what I You have
fifteen and three, right because you didn't have the ann loss.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Yep, that's right.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
So most of us have fourteen and four. You guys
have fit or Shandon has fifteen and three? Do we
set that as the expectation that for just to give
you an example, fourteen and four requires you to win
two of these, assuming you win every game at home.
It requires you to win at least one of these

(10:25):
road games at Alabama, at Tennessee, at Arkansas, at Florida,
at Auburn, and then also win at South Carolina, at LSU,
at A and M. So, I mean it's that's that's
assuming you win all the ones at home, you're gonna
have to steal at least one or two on the road.

Speaker 6 (10:42):
Yeah, I had them. I was struggling with four or
five losses being optimistic. I'm gonna go with four. I
think the big point is if you want to win
the conference, you can't slip up at home. Maybe I'll give.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
You Florida if Florida is as good as they look
like they're going to be at the end of the year,
but even that, you need to defend home court farthest.
You can't lose more than one at the absolute worst.
This schedule is made for you to sweep at home.
I mean, you're right to me, Florida is the only
one at the end. But then if you're gonna do that,
you're gonna have steal two games on the road, because

(11:13):
I think if you want to win the conference and
legitimately have a win chance to win the conference, you
gotta go fourteen and four. Now, the negative to this
is I think this is a schedule that's really hard
to go like sixteen and two or fifteen and three.
I actually think that's gonna be hard. But this is
also a schedule I think that has a pretty good floor.
I don't think you're gonna go worse than like twelve
and six because you have all these home you know,

(11:34):
last year, think about the home games we had that
we could lose, because we did lose a bunch of them, Auburn, Alabama, Arkansas,
we beat Florida, but Tennessee. But you had multiple home
games you could lose. This year, I look at it
and say, there's really only two home games you even
really should think about losing Tennessee and Florida. The rest
of the home games you should be able to win easy.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah, you gotta go undefeated at home with that schedule.
I mean you really do. Because when the schedule came out,
of course, probably most fans like me, looked, where's the
Arkansas game, Where's the Auburn game, where's the Alabama game?
Those three games, and they're all three on the road.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
It's not a great home schedule if you're a ticket holder.
You know, now you do get this year North Carolina
and Indiana and yeah, but for a home SEC schedule
last year I think was you know, it was like
a banger every weekend. It's not really like that. This year.
You really kind of get two and they're right at
the end of the year. I mean the Tennessee Florida
two of the last four games at home, and that's

(12:27):
kind of the best ones. Yeah, I love that Florida game. Though.

Speaker 6 (12:31):
I went back and looked at the history books. For
twenty five years, Florida Kentucky played the last game of
the season if you're there here, except for twice.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
I mean that was once it was Tennessee, yeah one
then and last year it was just it was Random's
Missouri year or something. Well, we've had Vandia Missouri the
last couple of year. He used to all these be
flo always.

Speaker 6 (12:48):
I went back and looked at him, but only one
time in two thousand and one was the SEC championship
on the line. And I really think that on March seventh,
Rapperino will be on fire with the regular season title
on the line.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
I think that's what we're headed forward. But regardless, it's
just good to have Florida back at the end of
the year. Yeah. I always like that. I mean, I
I never understood why last year we played I think
it was Missouri.

Speaker 6 (13:11):
We went to Missouri and I think Senior Night.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Maybe I didn't understand. I mean, you should. We should
finish the SEC schedule pretty much every year with either
Florida or Tennessee. I mean, I'll, i'll, I think Florida.
We've We've done it for twenty five years, so I'm
more into it. But it should be that, uh, pretty
much every year. Ryan that there should be some So
basically the SEC is calling it h championship Opening Saturday.

(13:35):
They're putting all the best teams against each other and
then rivalry end of the season Saturday they have and
they have Us with Florida, Tennessee with Van Dy, Auburn
with Alabama, Old miss Mississippi State, Texas, Oklahoma, et cetera.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Well that's the SEC schedule makers like they want that.
They want that big finale going into the SEC.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
I haven't always done that, No, I mean last year,
I it was, you know, again, we finished the season
at Missouri. That was not where you would end up
being a game we had to end up on Wednesday too. Uh.

Speaker 6 (14:02):
My other two big takeaways just for excitement was I
love Modia Bade. There's no waiting around. You're heading to
Alabama reunion game first first SEC game. He's gonna get
to play his old team. And then Travis Perry, there's
no hiding. We're not going to you, You're coming to us.

an ovation. Say, let's talk about that. Yeah, I don't

Speaker 4 (16:42):
By the way. Why don't I'm interested in where the
fan base is? Why don't you send seven seven two
seven seven four five two five four with that sec schedule?
I just told you eighteen games, we have three fourteen
and fours and one fifteen and three. Where are you?
I'd like to see where the fans are seven seven
two seven seven four five two five four. Just give
me the number and I'll see it in a minute.

(17:02):
Here's what I wanted to talk about. Do you know, Shannon,
you'll know where this is. Do you know Eastern Cemetery
in Louisville. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. It's
on Baxter Avenue. It's like a cross from where the
New Godfather's Pizza is, right, isn't that Eastern Cemetery Yep?

Speaker 3 (17:18):
And Phoenix Soll Tavern where it used to be right
across from that.

Speaker 5 (17:22):
Right.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
You've seen it, it's of course all right. So do
you too know where it is? I do not, Okay,
It's it's huge. If you were driving from my house
towards downtown, you'd pass it on the on the right.
So I've seen it forever. I've actually been in there
a couple of times, like walking around, et cetera. It's
very old, so it's like very old, uh you know, gravestones,

(17:44):
et cetera. Now I haven't verified this, but I think
it's true. I was on TikTok and there was this
guy and he did this whole thing about it, which
led me to kind of rabbit hole and I do
you know the scandal about Eastern Cemetery and as Gaunt
apparently in nineteen eighty nine, Now again, don't hold me

(18:08):
to this, this is just what I say. And then
I read the comments and everyone seemed to agree. In
nineteen eighty nine they discovered that over the course of
history this cemetery has gone back to like the eighteen twenties,
eighteen thirties, that sometime around nineteen twenty the owners had
taken forty six thousand graves, taken the bodies out so

(18:34):
they could resell the plots no way, and then resold
the plots. And they are they estimate because they don't
really know for sure forty six thousand. Then when the
scandal came out, they just abandoned it. And now there's
like a volunteer group in Louisville that are the people
who came come and mow it and try to because
you know, no one owns it now. It's basically an

(18:56):
abandoned cemetery at least according to this and but the
places are still there. So when you hear that, it
sounds off, But like, what do you make of that
forty six thousand and these are people, you know, it's

(19:17):
been a long time. I don't know if they're relatives, like,
I mean, do people come see graves from the eighteen thirties?
I mean maybe they don't. I don't know, But what
do you what do you think about that story?

Speaker 8 (19:26):
Every person forty six thousand, every person has the right
to have their own burial site and you know, rest
in peace, not to be disturbed and dug up and
moved around.

Speaker 4 (19:37):
What do you mean they're gone?

Speaker 2 (19:38):
That's humane, that's just inhumane.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
I know. But they're gone. You know, they're not there.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
It doesn't matter. They've you know, everybody has earned and
deserved that right.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
You think, so in perpet to it, yes, forever, I
think so, Okay, I'm not I'm not disagreeing with you.
I'm just asking you, what about you.

Speaker 6 (19:55):
I agree with the Ryan that once you have your plot,
that should be your plot. But I have wondered, like,
can't do this forever? Like well, like in New York City. Yeah,
it's exactly what I was gonna bring up.

Speaker 4 (20:04):
They basically run out of places to bury people, and
there's a crowd. I think I read like in fifteen
or twenty years, they're gonna they're like, we don't know
what to do, and they may have to start bearing
people like somewhere else, and then like families might have
to go to other communities where the people never lived
to Bury. So what do you do? What do you do?

(20:27):
Mayor Limond?

Speaker 2 (20:28):
You you do that you find them a place arrested,
final rescue place.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
Of the land to just well, sorry, you got to
go to Poughkeepsie. Yes, okay, yes, I'm not saying you're wrong,
but I saw this forty six How many people do
you think know this? Like this is in the city
and this is a mile from where I live.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yeah, I had no idea and I had no idea
that this was the case.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Forty six thousand bodies.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
I don't think in any circumstance should you ever be
moving bodies. Once they're in the ground, they should stay
there for the till the.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
End the time, till the end of time.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Yeah, I don't think you should be. I think it's
just you can.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
Again, I'm not it's just a practical conversation. People, do
you think you should if you're running out of area?
Do you think you should double.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Double up on the spots?

Speaker 3 (21:17):
Let's start telling everybody because again.

Speaker 4 (21:20):
I mean, we talked about New York, but even think
about Louisville. There's gonna come a point where all the
land's bought up, right, so at some point.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
When you start thinking about that, now, maybe before it's
all bought up, you know, like, well.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
But your like, honestly to some extent, like you're dead.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
So is it coming where there about to be cremated?

Speaker 3 (21:42):
Just to That's what I was saying, like, well, would
you rather do that?

Speaker 4 (21:44):
What's worse? Force people to have them cremated or say
we're gonna double berry.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Sometimes I don't know which ones worse, because if you
don't want to because there's you know, there are.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
Some people whose religions think cremating is like correct, you
can't do it. I just think it's an interesting conversation
because when I saw it, I was horrified like everybody else,
and clearly these people were doing it for money. I
think they went to well, I think that people were
dead when they discovered it.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
It's illegal.

Speaker 6 (22:14):
I'm sure, I'm sure it's I legal. Six thousand people
up and then it reminds me of the mortician on HBO.
They're not burying them, but they were just burning everybody
together into one pot.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
It will be interesting to see though, when these cities,
because New York is gonna be the first one, but
this will probably happen in a lot of cities. Yeah,
because people are I mean, are people putting up new graveyards.

Speaker 6 (22:34):
Like housing we're gonna have to go up? Are we
gonna have tall buildings that are.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
I just want to, you know, because it's not like
I don't see investments in new graveyards, no, do you know?
So I mean at some points you are gonna run out.
Just interesting when I saw it, But also I had
no idea that was down the street from me. We'll
take a break, very back. TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney,
called TJ.

Speaker 6 (22:58):
He'll make them pay.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Now more Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's
Matt Jones.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
Tell him, Johnny. Apparently there's a documentary about this. What'd
you say?

Speaker 6 (23:07):
It was called Corey Price sent it to me. It's
called Facing East, Facing East. He sent me a YouTube link,
So I guess it's just all So.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
This is kind of interesting, one person writes Matt. In England,
most cemeteries actually bury multiple family members in the same plot.
Part of it is space because England's in Ireland and
it's been around for a long time. But part of
it is they more adhere to the belief that you
can be in the same plot because then you are
close to your family members in death. Yeah, I mean

(23:38):
we do spread everybody out, but you could have a
plot that's like your whole family and you're all there together.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
I think people could get on board with that, not
strangers on top of another in one p you know what,
but you you wouldn't know strange bedfellows.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah, you know, that's.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
Exactly what strange bedfellows. You think that maybe is where
that came from. I mean Europe, if in Europe, because
you know Europe the history of people being buried the
way we do, and it goes way farther back than
it does here. So I mean they may have they
may have gone back who knows how long. Maybe that's
where that comes from.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
Shannon, Yeah, maybe so, I mean, what do they do
with bodies that like from the fourteen hundreds fifteen hundreds?
Are they just burnt or like what happened to the I.

Speaker 4 (24:21):
Mean I don't really know. I would assume. I mean,
when you go back to like fourteen hundred, were people
being buried the way we do?

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Probably not, but I mean, next me wonder like where
they're at.

Speaker 4 (24:34):
Yeah, and then like during the plague, everybody had to
be like burned body to get Yeah. I mean this
is a very uplifting topic, but I do it is
interesting to me. I read a book a long time ago.
I cannot remember what the name of it is a
woman who's like a comedic writer. She had had a
job for five years and a crematorium and she wrote

(24:56):
about it and like she was trying she was being funny,
but she was also talking about what happens in a crematorium.
And it was like the most eye opening thing I've
ever read, just in terms of like the things they
have to deal with that we don't even think about
because people don't like to think about, right.

Speaker 6 (25:12):
It makes you kind of but that somebody has to, yeah,
think about it. And we see this all time. Heck,
it's happening in election in the last couple years. Where
you're at a construction site and they're building something. They're like, oh,
here's a graveyard.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
That's true.

Speaker 6 (25:24):
Yeah, happened sadly most times because capitalism. It's like, well,
we'll just pretend we didn't see that. Yeah, there's a Starbucks.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
They built hamburg around that little cemetery out there in
the Hamburger, I mean built around it.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
We all have this thing. This is especially I'm sure
this is like when I was a kid. It used
to drive me crazy. You go to funerals, they have
an open casket, right, Yeah, For some reason, people like that.
I don't know exactly why. I don't know if I
would like that. But when you look at somebody and
people always go, oh, don't they look great? And my
answer has always been, no, they're dead, they don't look great,

(25:59):
but that it was a big deal to make them
look a certain way. I think that's definitely a mountain thing.
I don't know if it's like that everywhere else, but
I always thought, like, it's weird that we take this
dead body, put makeup on it, stuff it to make
it look alive. But it's not. They're not alive.

Speaker 9 (26:19):
You know?

Speaker 4 (26:19):
Is that not strange? It is?

Speaker 6 (26:22):
Sometimes the lasting memory of your image of them can
be But I don't do you even want that? No,
I'm saying that can be a that can be a negative.

Speaker 4 (26:29):
I mean, I I don't know. I've never totally understood
why our culture does that, But we accept it as normal. Yes,
it seems odd.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
I guess do I don't know this. Do other cultures
not do that?

Speaker 4 (26:42):
I'm not Maybe they do, I don't. I mean, I know,
like you know, in history, they would take like kings,
stuff them, put makeup on, take them around the city
so people could listen. I don't know. Anyway, I do
remember when I went and saw Ronald Reagan. I've told
that story. Yeah, casket was closed. They can just leave
him out there for body to see. So ED in Michigan,

(27:05):
go ahead.

Speaker 5 (27:08):
Hey guys, this is Michigan. Ed. I am back in.
My prediction is Kentucky wins number nine this year with
no more than four of losses. And I got a
question about the flootball team, the Studs goes to a
bowl this year. Is he is this job states and
secure for sure?

Speaker 4 (27:26):
I mean it might be secure anyway. Well, the argument
becomes if he doesn't, but if he goes to a bowl.
I appreciate the call. I can't imagine his job not
being secure.

Speaker 6 (27:35):
Right, I think the bowl we start having the statue
talking again.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
Yeah, I mean, I don't think I imagine how to
be objective even if you're the biggest stoops hater. I
cannot imagine how you would say if he went to
a bowl with this schedule after last year, that you
wouldn't say, yes, he's gonna stay now. I don't know
if you'd keep giving him a year, although I guess
his contract autumn gives him another year, which was probably

(28:02):
not the best thing to put in the contract. But
I certainly think he's not gonna lose this gig.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
He wins six games this year, it goes down to
one of his best coaching jobs.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
Well, it's certainly one of his absolutely just transparent getting ovation.
We didn't. We didn't get to that.

Speaker 6 (28:18):
I'm tough there. You know a lot of people, especially
on my side of the state, you know, still love
Travis and understood the movie made. But you know, if
you it's one of those how much of the internet
do we believe? Because when he left a lot of
people on the internet were mad at him. But are
those people actually gonna be in Rapperina deciding what kind
of reception he mean?

Speaker 4 (28:36):
I think players didn't get an ovation, but they're not
from Kentucky.

Speaker 6 (28:41):
I wouldn't say anything is like an ovation like a
loud Yeah, but I think it'll be a little bit of.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
A You don't think if he checks in as the
six man, I don't think we're going crazy. I think
there will be applause. But do you think people you
think anybody boom more applause than booze by far, But
I don't think there would be people that boo.

Speaker 6 (28:57):
Yeah, but I'm not saying either will be this grand
you know.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
So, but what would the reason? What's the rational reason though?
Because because like DJ Wagner and a dude, the arro
got booed, what is the rational.

Speaker 6 (29:12):
Reason for booing them and not Travis Parry? He's Kentucky
with cal he's a Kentuckian. Well, but some people can
aven more reason to say he.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Is a Kentucky high school legendary beloved.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
Why did a do the arrow ever do that was
wrong here?

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Nothing? But Travis Perry did a lot that was loved here,
but not a Kentucky in the state. That's true.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
I'm not suggesting we should booing. No, and I wasn't
angry that we booed DJ and a d but I
thought our boos should just have been for cat. I
thought the players that wasn't fair even I mean, I
wasn't mad about it. I get it, but I don't
understand what I mean. You could argue it made more

(29:59):
sense for DJ and a dude to leave then Travis. Yeah,
he DJ had a spot here. DJ's only connection to
Kentucky was cal Cal could have gone to Israel. DJ
was going j from here, so I I would remain.
I mean, I would like if I see him, go
hey man, I hope you're doing good. Good to see you.

(30:22):
But I also don't know that you give him applause
when he runs.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
I'm with Drew. I think he'll get like a polite
applause when he checks in, but then that's it. No
more the rest of the game. But that initial yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:32):
Well, no one's going to cheer when he makes a shot, I.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Mean comes back in like in a second half chances he.

Speaker 6 (30:38):
Comes in and like scores double digits. Oh man, don't
even high.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
So yes, you think it's high. We'll think about all
the guys that Arkansas.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
I mean, they all had good games.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
DJ's best game of the year was it Ropperena.

Speaker 4 (30:52):
Last year it was John go ahead John, So sorry, sorry,
I just dropped my phone.

Speaker 9 (31:05):
The parable. How would that relate to Kentucky's fourth members.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
If you subbed in, then do what now?

Speaker 9 (31:13):
So parable with Sadu, Like if you subbed in, like, hey,
who would be the person that's lost in the side
of the mountain, Like if we do that with Kentucky
media members or members.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
I mean, that's an interesting question. I don't think enough
people have. I appreciate the call. I have read it,
although I do highly recommend it that I the parable
the I do that I talked about when I went
to the fellowship about the mountain and would you go
get them and all that stuff. I would say Ryan
is the most likely to try to save people, but
he also thought he could eat those doughnuts.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
So failure, epic failure.

Speaker 3 (31:45):
You can't tell them that situation or you're dead.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Yes, yeah, but a lot of people won't won't remember that.
Probably Robert says he used to work at Eastern Cemetery. Roberts,
give me the scoop? Was that story? I told correct?

Speaker 10 (32:00):
It was very correct. I actually used to work for them.
I started my grass cutting business in nineteen eighty seven,
and when I was putting out advertisements, when my workers said, Hey,
this guy wants you to cut a cemetery, and they
owned Eastern Greenwood in the West End, and a little
cemetery card shard iron on Seventh Street Road. Well, they
paid me to cut shard iron for two years, and

(32:20):
they were gonna have me start cutting the other ones.
I assume the reason they hadn't had me doing it
is because they were reusing the graves and they were
trying to find a way to hide that. But I
went to call them Monday to schedule at cutting and
the phone was ringing in the middle of the day
and nobody was answering. I was like, this is weird.
And I opened up the newspaper and everybody was on
the front page there, Charlie, were going to start.

Speaker 4 (32:41):
Working there right when this scandal broke.

Speaker 10 (32:45):
Well, I worked for East It was called Cemetery.

Speaker 4 (32:49):
Did you ever work in there?

Speaker 10 (32:52):
No? No, They had me cutting the small one and
they were going to have me cut that one in
Greenwood that year when it happened. But like I said,
they were all on the front age of the newspapers
hundreds of years and.

Speaker 4 (33:03):
So did they do it at the.

Speaker 10 (33:07):
Yeah, they did it at the Greenwood one in the
west End, But the only one they didn't do that
was the little one that I was cutting, but they
were getting ready to have me cut the other two.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
Wow. So yeah, does anybody run them?

Speaker 6 (33:18):
Now?

Speaker 4 (33:19):
Does anybody like I've read that that's another thing.

Speaker 10 (33:22):
Well, here's the thing. They always act like. The first
of all, they're all abandoned because everybody went to jail.
They had stole all the money from the trust and
so there was no money to pay for any upkeep.
So everybody acts like they don't know what happened. But
that's what happened, is they stole the money that there's
nobody to take care of them. The Eastern Cemetery and
crematorium business went out of business and they've just been

(33:44):
vacant ever since.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
Wow, I appreciate it. Well, I appreciate the call. So
I wonder like, what can the city do? So the city?
Can the city take it? I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Does the city pay to have it? Mode?

Speaker 5 (33:56):
Now?

Speaker 4 (33:56):
Well, I've heard that there's a volunteer group that most
But I will say, when you walk by it, it's
not often kept Like if you go by that cemetery,
not always, but sometimes the grass is very hot, and
I have often thought, man, they don't keep up that cemetery.
What I didn't know is that it was abandoned.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Well, our friend Harper, So knowing that.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
It's abandoned, does that change your view on it? Knowing
it's abandoned, do you think they should do something with it?
Or they should just in the middle of Louisville in
a high traffic area, just let an abandoned cemetery sit there.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
You have to if those bodies are there, you have
to eat.

Speaker 4 (34:32):
But is that really good for society to have abandoned
cemetery with grass just growing looking like a jungle.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
Should know it?

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yeah, city need so.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
You think that. But that's a big lot, like that's
a I mean you're asking the city to spend a
lot of money.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Yeah, or sell it to somebody. I don't know. I mean,
but who's.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
Gonna buy it? They can't use the land all they're
gonna do with it. I mean, the land is useless.
It's worthless.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Can't build on it, can't build on it, you can't
do anything with it.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
I don't really know what the alternative is. The reason
why people don't build new cemeteries. The reason you don't
build new cemeteries is it's not a growth business.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
As soon as you use all the plots. The land's dead,
and then you can't do anything with it. What are
you gonna do with it?

Speaker 6 (35:19):
I mean, I don't know what else you could. I mean,
you can't just put an apartment complex on top of it.
I feel like the city has to.

Speaker 4 (35:25):
But it's like it's like right in the middle of anyway.
Just interesting. I'm not advocating a point. I just this
all occurred to me as I watched this dude's random TikTok.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
I'm watching the documentary. I know that is your skin
trying to tell you something. Sores that don't heal, new growth,
or spots that feel itchy and tender. How about the
Kentucky Skin Cancer Center Owensboro, Bowling Green, Franklin, Glasgow, and Powderly, Kentucky.
The Skin Cancer Center is here for you. Over forty
thousand patients. Everyone should get checked. You have like a little.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
Bump, especially if it changes the way it looks. Go
to the Kentucky Skin Cancer Center two seven eight four
to two nineteen ninety nine or Kentucky Skin Cancercenter dot com.
You're more than just a patient your family At the
Kentucky Skin Cancer Center. We'll take a break, be right
back it's KISR. Digging up Bones. I'm digging up Boness,

(36:17):
I'm digging up Bone. I love this song.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Randy Travis.

Speaker 4 (36:22):
Yeah, this was I remember on Saturday nights. Saturdays, my
family would drive to Lexington to like go to Fayette Mall.
Oh big game, my uncle David. Yeah, uh ed at
Chee Cheese. You would drive home and we would drive home.
They would listen on the radio and they were always
My mom would only listen to two different things, either

(36:43):
country music or Garrison Keeler. I hated the Garrison Keiller nights,
so I rooted for the country music. I did not
care about the Prairie Home Companion, and so when she
turned this on. This was very popular at the time,
so I much preferred Digging Up Bone to Garrison Keeler
and his little fake sound effects that they would play

(37:04):
on Prairie Home Companion.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
What a nice memory.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
Yes, Chee Cheese back then that was like the only
Mexican restaurant. And yes, we'll see you've been saying that
for a couple.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
Of years, Minnesota.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
What person's right, Matt, I'm from eastern Kentucky. I've never
understood that either. My sat my dad said don't ask
opened my casket. When my grandfather died, they opened the
casket and gave him a smile. He never smiled in
real life, and it made me mad. I like that,
you don't know what he was like in real life.

Speaker 6 (37:35):
Somebody on ks board said that they were at a
family member's funeral and somebody leaned over and said, these
guys do a really good job with the bodies here.
What a psycho thing to say?

Speaker 4 (37:43):
That is weird, Shannon, there's There was a story apparent
release recently in lou Today that there is a cemetery
hidden in a parking lot under a shopping complex in
Saint Matthew's.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
What I've never heard that before. See that cemetery under
a mall. So there's only malls in Saint Matthew's, Oxmoor
and Malad.

Speaker 4 (38:02):
The shopping complex. It could be one of those like
strip mall families there. Yeah, that's that's weird. Here's a
good question, Matt. We worked for I worked for the
city once. One of our debates was when someone dies
on the side of the road and they put a
roadside memorial there with their family, how long should we
leave it up?

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Yeah, I wondered that too, because the mowing crew has
to mow around it.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
You know, what's what's the amount of time?

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Six months, six months a long time.

Speaker 4 (38:31):
Flowers will have wilted by then.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
Yeah, but a lot of people not necessarily like like
the light up cross.

Speaker 4 (38:37):
But would it make you feel weird to take it down? Yes,
Like if there's like pictures of the family and the
cross and flowers like, and they're like, okay, go take
it down, would you feel weird about that.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
I'm not doing it. I'm having somebody else do it.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
What if that's your job? I say, Ryan, you're in
charge of taking it down.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
I'm gonna get sick. Then I come into work that day.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
You had a bag cough Matt, Like in Lilo Popolic
Park where people have fallen off the train and revels.
They've got memorials there that they leave up and I
don't know, like how long they ever take him down.
I don't think they ever take him down. But there's
a lot of them there.

Speaker 4 (39:10):
You're saying, a lot of Chas Boards says they're gonna
boo Travis Pear. That's you know, not a ton of people,
but it looks pretty unanimous. Someone even asks, why wouldn't
we boo Travis Perry. There's a lot of people on
the text machine saying they're gonna boo Travis Peary.

Speaker 6 (39:22):
All right, maybe I was wrong.

Speaker 4 (39:24):
I'm surprised.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
I'm shocked. I thought he was such a big hero
to a lot of people in this state.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
We'll see what happens is we get closer. Also will
need to see how much he's playing. Like, I think
the better he is, the more you can boo it. Yes,
fair Like if he doesn't get to play and then
he comes in as the ninth man, I think it's
meaner to boo than if he's their best play huh,
if he's their best player, saying I think it's more
understandable to.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
Boot for Travis Perry. I would just give him the
silent treatment. I'm not gonna boo him. I'm not gonna
cheer him.

Speaker 4 (39:54):
Yeah, I'm not going.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
But it feels more mean to boo the less good
he is.

Speaker 4 (40:00):
Yeah, the better he is, it's a little more understandable.
We'll see. Adam, go ahead, Adham.

Speaker 11 (40:10):
I guys, I don't know if you've ever seen poultry, guys,
but you do not mess with buried bodies or cemeteries
or anything like that.

Speaker 4 (40:18):
That's not a documentary.

Speaker 11 (40:26):
You're gonna risk out, You're gonna rist out.

Speaker 9 (40:30):
I wouldn't mess with it.

Speaker 4 (40:31):
Yeah, well, I appreciate that, but somebody has to.

Speaker 7 (40:35):
It.

Speaker 4 (40:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (40:36):
On the on the SEC schedule, I think fourteen and
four is likely. You know, the obvious losses at at Bama,
at Arkansas, at Florida, at Auburn, I think we steal
one of those. I think Shannon's right, probably at Arkansas,
but then we always have a dud, you know, maybe
we drop at L s U or at A and

(40:57):
M or something like that. But fourteen four, at the
we win the SEC and probably looking at one or
two seed.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
Yeah, I think I appreciate the call. I think you
get fourteen and four, you're a two seed. That work.
It depends on what you do in the non conference obviously,
but I'd have a hard time seeing it's being worse
than a two seed. Might be a one seed at
fourteen and four. I think you still could be a
two seed at like thirteen to five. Madison quickly too,
you got minute.

Speaker 7 (41:19):
Oh sorry one One Number one is do you think
table will allow the current team to wear the nineteen six.

Speaker 4 (41:33):
Yes, I think it will happen. I think it will happen.

Speaker 7 (41:36):
And then two how many passing yards do you see
our quarterback getting this year?

Speaker 4 (41:42):
Boy, I don't know about that.

Speaker 6 (41:44):
One over under whatever you say, yeah, no, I'm serious.
Give me a number under.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
Twenty five under.

Speaker 6 (41:53):
They're running, running, running, running, and then they're gonna run.
And when you think they're gonna pass, they're gonna run.

Speaker 4 (41:58):
Two thousand oh. That be one hundred and sixty yards
a game.

Speaker 6 (42:02):
You don't think he shouna throw for all average about
but we'll average about one fifty one. That's more in
rushing one's seventy.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
That sounds depressing. If I'm nine two eight oh twenty
two eighty seven, we'll take a break. Come right back.
It's KSR
