One person writes, Matt, you dressed like a cowboy at
country concerts. How's that different than Craig? Good point, that's
a fair point.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
That a fair point because I have my cowboy hat.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
I only wear it at an occasional country concert, so
fair enough. But Shannon, if I end up, if I
end up going to a heavy metal concert and wearing
a T shirt like that and chains, you're gonna have
to take up for Oh.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, I'll take you in.

Then we're right back here.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
Are the big people at Larger than Live.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
It's it's very metal heavy this year. It's a Slayer
and like Rob Zombie and Manson.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
But isn't it always Deaf Tone?

Speaker 5 (02:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Well yes, those other ones, but Evenge Sevenfold, Deaftones, bring
Me the Horizon. Those are the big headlining bands for
each night.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Okay, but yeah, both those. What is the total amount
of people that will be in Louisville for those two
It's a crazy amount of people.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Right, yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
I mean I would say around fifty to sixty per night.
Now some of those people may be the same people,
right forty.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Sixty thou Yeah, I will tell you just anecdotally, I've
had more people hitting.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Me up for tickets for Bourbon and Beyond than I
have in a long time.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, it's a good line.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Okay, why do you think that is Drew? You think
is that Benson Boone or Noah Khan or who is it?

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Why is that?

Speaker 6 (02:52):
I really don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (02:55):
I don't want to say this one's down, but they've
had some big stars every year, so this one doesn't
seem that you need compared to past years. Maybe it's
just a good event. People want to be a part
of it is pre star studded.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
All right, A couple things. I finally Ryan cut the
Direct TV chord after.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Twenty years wow of having Direct TV.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Yeah, I finally just one day was like, you know what,
why do I still pay for this? You can get
all this stuff other places.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
You know.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Now they're actually bundling up cable to where we're just
gonna have cable again. When I called to give it
back to them, they asked me. They looked at my
the box I had, and you know normally they make
you return the box. They were just like, you can
just take yours to recycle. Outdated said, you can take

(03:47):
yours to recycling.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
I was like, okay, I guess so.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
So now I don't know who is still subscribing to
Direct TV, but they lost one subscriber and I realized
how much I was paying for it and it was absurd.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
So there's any do any of you all?

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Do?

Speaker 4 (04:06):
None of you still have it? Right?

Speaker 1 (04:07):
No?

Speaker 5 (04:08):
No?

Speaker 1 (04:09):
A long time ago.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, so good to see they take care of their customers.
I mean, they could have given you a newer box,
but no, they just let you keep the saying one
for twenty one years.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
I've called before and They're like, does yours work? And
I'd say, yeah, they go there, I think you're good.
I don't know what the I don't know what would
the new box have even.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Gotten, maybe a new remote control that doesn't stick, you know.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Yeah, yeah, well all that stuff would have been good.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
So but it is kind of you know, it's been
a long time, so I'm trying to figure out there're gonna.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
Be channels that I will completely forget exists. You know.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
I used to sometimes during the middle of the night, like,
go look at I don't think people know unless you
have direct TV how many religious channels are out there.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
There'd be like ninety channels with preachers on.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
And so sometimes really late at night, I would just
flip and there'd be somebody yelling at me in Houston,
and then somebody yelling at me in South Lake City,
then somebody yelling at me in Saint Louis, and I
kind of liked it. I thought it was it was
very it would take me back to my childhood of
seventy or eighty, like preachers all over the country.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
I'll probably never see those channels again.

Speaker 7 (05:13):
I haven't seen direct TV in about fifteen years. But
do they still have the black channels that just play
different music, like this is the yes.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
The We're not going to put anything on it. It's
just going to be a blank screen. But we'll play
music for you.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
And they'll play like SPA music and jazz music. And uh,
you know it was. It was a good product. It's
just now it just it doesn't make sense. I mean
I was looking at the bill. I think Ryan at
the end, I was paying like two hundred and thirty
dollars a month.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Oh my god, goodness, good wow, I thought twenty.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, because I told them give me everything, like say,
well I didn't didn't. I didn't get the porn, but
like everything else, I was like, give me a because
I just was like I just want to have the options.
But the reality is you say you want that and
then you don't watch it all you know you can't.
I mean, when was the last time you turned on Stars? Well,
I had Stars. I don't think I've turned on Stars

(06:06):
in ten years. But I think I was paying for it,
Shannon every month, And but why have you never watched
one show on there?

Speaker 4 (06:13):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
I think more and more people are cutting the cord
and realizing there are other options. When it comes to
watching what you want to watch, and you can get
it at different.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
So here a couple of stories. I want your all's
opinion on Drew. I'll start with you on this because
you and I were one time tennis beat reporters right
back in the oh yeah, good ones. All right, So
I when I see tennis now, I don't necessarily know
who these people are. But there's a woman very popular
tennis players, very attractive, and I think that's also why
she's she's good, but she's also very trapped. Her name

(06:41):
is like Anna Kolinskia. Does anybody know who that is?

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Any of the people not familiar? Do not? All right?
I don't either, you do, Drew?

Speaker 6 (06:50):
Well, I just keeping up with recent events.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Okay, Yeah, so I didn't know who she was, but
she's a Anna Kalinskia. And there's a male player whose
name is Holger Dane, which is an unfortunate name, Holger,
but his name is Holger Dane. And Anna Kalinsky was
on a podcast and she said that Holger Dane had
asked her out ten times in her DMS and that

(07:17):
she never has said yes, but that he keeps asking
her out. And she said he must have a lot
of confidence.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
Now, remember these are both very good tennis players.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
So I mean in the in the basketball world, this
would be like, I don't know, Ron Howard saying that
Devin Booker just keeps asking her out over and over
and over. Holger Dane was like, no, I don't, I'm
just being friendly. And then a couple of other women
stimms players are like, well, he asked me out.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
All the time too, And it's becoming not that.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
He's like creepy, but that Holger Dane is asking out
all of the female tennis players and they're all.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Saying now so.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
So in the tennis world, the tennis world is kind
of like, Holger Dane looks like a good looking guy.
Why are people going out with Holger Dane? My question
for you is, does an did Anna Kolinskiah Did she
violate some sort of tennis bro slash female code in
outing Holger Dane as being multiple times asked out. Oh

(08:25):
and he also was asked about it, and he said,
if I want to go on a date, I asked
for a date. That was That was his quote, which
I thought was a really funny quote. So what do
you think.

Speaker 7 (08:35):
I think she just reached your breaking point. Also a
key detailing this is she dated Yanick Center for a
long time, who's ranked a few spots higher than him
on deal. So maybe he hated to do his rival
before a little bit. Yeah, yeah, definitely someone he plays against.
I think that makes it even weirder. Also, like, dude,

(08:55):
there's a lot of people in the world, like, you
don't have to date this person that you travel city
to see with that's on the women's tour.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
All right, what is the most assuming that you're not
being like because because she was clear that find him
like creepy at all, like that that they spoke and
they were friendly, But what is the most amount of nose, Shannon,
you can get before you should just say it's just
not gonna happen.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
One. Yeah. For me, it's on.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Being you know, having somebody say no one time is
enough for me. I don't need to come back and
ask again.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
So you're like, you wouldn't say even the second time,
I'm gonna try again.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
I would say, there's plenty of fish in the sea.
You're not the only one. I'm gonna move on to
somebody who.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
Yeah, what about you? One?

Speaker 7 (09:43):
Yeah, No, it's good trial big gulps os sei later,
it's it's all need just Ryan, I.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Feel like you might get to two or three sometimes,
Am I right about that?

Speaker 4 (09:53):
You know?

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Sometimes you take a shot, you get your own rebound,
and you shoot again, so maybe you need to take
a second shot at it. But ten, he is a
little mudd tent. It gets a little stalker, it's little creepy.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah, you get your own rebound. Yeah, take your shot.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
It sounds like it sounds like you took a shot,
you got blocked, and then you were like, but I'll
be able to shoot over them this time.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah, I can maybe put a spin move on the
person and dunk over their head.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (10:18):
Yeah, your angel rees down there, getting your own rebound.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
So you always.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Gotta follow your shot, right if they teacher you gotta
fall your shot and you.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
Have a you have a spin move with ladies you use.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Sometimes, Oh my spin move down the post.

Speaker 6 (10:31):
Is I don't undeniable, I don't hear this.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
How do you what is the most common way Ryan,
you have asked out women over the years. I'm kind
of fascinating on what your what your moves are.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
I have absolutely zero moves, I mean zero.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
So do you ask people out. What was the common
way you've done it?

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Face to face?

Speaker 4 (10:58):
What do you say? What do you what do you say?

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Say, Hey, you want to grab something to eat, gonna
hang out for a little bit. That's pretty much. I
have zero moves. I have never been rico, suave whatsoever.
So I had.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
You say, you want to go grab some deep hang
out at your date.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah, I think that's pretty much to have a drink.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
And that's pretty much problem for me is if you
ask somebody out, like you want to go get something deep,
I'd be like, how do you know if they're interested
in you or not? That could be platonic, like you're
just going to get lunch or something.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
How do you know that there's romantic interest?

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Oh, when you're sitting there at the dinner table or
your cheeseburger and French fries.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
But you're already But but like you're already at dinner
with him. I'm saying, when you're let's say, because you've
asked out most of your people, if I'm if I'm
correct from work, am I right with that? Over the years?

Speaker 1 (11:47):
That pretty much? Yes, my outside the newsroom, right in front.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Of him, he's got up tight but I have to
work news.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
He's kind of type. They gotta be in the room,
but you.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Glance over, catch eyes and then you kind of you
can kind of feel it, you kind of know. Okay,
so go down. Yeah sure, yeah.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
They start, you know, undressing you with their eyes. I
think they got him out.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
I mean serious, So you you would then go up
to him and say, let's go grab some neat.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
I yeah, I mean I'm old. And you know when
I after I got divorced, there was no on the dating,
no getting on apps, no looking for somebody. It just
kind of just naturally happened with yoga girl.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
All right, Well, good for you.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
Well, do you feel bad at all shaded for Holger
Dame that he got called out for ten those I.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Feel bad that he asked her ten times. I don't
feel bad that he got called out. He should have
been called out for asking her that many times. But okay,
I mean, my god should be able to find a date.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
I would think. So he's a good looking professional tennis player.
Feels like he'd be able to look it up, change
change her approach, change it up.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
Now, let's go back in time to about six weeks ago,
to the Coldplay concert, okay, And I remember it was
a man and a woman and the man was the
one who hid and the woman looked mortified. Now the
woman's husband has come out and said, hey, I want
to say something. We were already separated and we're in

(13:23):
the process of getting ready to get a divorce, and
he was basically like everybody kind of overreacted at least
as it pertains to this woman because we were already apart.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
Now, Drew, do you buy that. I will believe.

Speaker 6 (13:41):
I'll buy that.

Speaker 7 (13:42):
Yes, I will believe that because I don't think you
would come forward and say that.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
Okay, I will believe. So long, why did he wait
so long? Like, if if that's true, Shannon, why did
they wait? Why did he wait so long? Because he
led it to be fair, he kind of let if
that's true, he kind of let his ax just flounder
out there for a long time.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, I don't know that. I believe him.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
But do you think that took him this long to
come up with that excuse? It is kind of strange.
He should have come out immediately and said, look, we're not.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
But if it's true, it's not an excuse.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
So, like I guess it was clear to me the
man had cheated, right like.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
It was.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
Or he just didn't want anybody to say that he's
with somebody in his company, you know, like he's dating
the directory.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
It's pretty clear to me the man had cheated, like
a man doesn't run, Like that's what unless he cheatd.

Speaker 6 (14:35):
That he didn't run.

Speaker 7 (14:36):
He oozed out like ketchup coming out of the bottle.

Speaker 6 (14:39):
It was like the slow he didn't landed yet.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
But I remember at the time like she looked mortified,
but also didn't necessarily look like I don't know, she
didn't look as worried as him.

Speaker 4 (14:51):
So I just.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Feel like, I mean, I guess it's nice if the
man said that, but I kind of feel like Drew,
if that's true, it would.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
Have been been nice for her. He'd said that two
months ago. Right, it's true.

Speaker 7 (15:05):
But if you're him, what do you want me to do?
I'm not gonna go on TV and just do it
proud of media.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
So what I if?

Speaker 7 (15:11):
So, I asked me, I'll be honest, but I'm not
gonna seek out the attention. I'm laying low.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
What what if the reason they got separated because she
was messing around with this guy. So maybe that's why
he's like kept quiet for so long, and like.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
Do you think that was the original reason for the separate.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Maybe maybe that's why he kept quiet for a couple
of months, and now he's coming forward to kind of
help his ex mother children. You know, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
I wonder, I do wonder shit, And I thought this
to myself. Do you wonder, like what that what those
people are doing right now?

Speaker 4 (15:40):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yeah, you know, because they both lost their jobs, right
and they both I think it's gonna be hard for
them to get a.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
Job at least in the same industry.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Do you wonder, ever, like, in situations like that, what
what happens after.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
When the whole world moves on? What happens to these
people after it's over? I do, Yeah, I do too.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
I think in their case though, they've got a lot
of money and they're probably set for life. So they're
probably on a beach somewhere in a nice, you know,
vacation home.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
But there's a book I read many years ago that's
called So You've been Publicly Shamed, And it's about what
we're talking about. It's about somebody who had some kind
of incident happened to them and then what happens next.
Remember our story about the woman who sent the text
message and then that went on the phone to South Africa.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
She woke up and she lost her job and all
that stuff. You remember that.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Remember that that.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Book is really interesting because it talks about that and
how like people try to rebuild their lives after those moments.

Speaker 4 (16:35):
Just kind of an interesting interesting thing. We will pay
if you're late.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
You heard me talk about a State Renovations Kentucky's go
too High and home remodeling or remember, if they give
you a project completion date, they'll pay one hundred dollars
a day for every day they're late. Home makeovers, kitchens, bathrooms.
They're serious about gaping your project on track. So if
you're ready to renovate without the typical contractor headaches, go
to a state renos dot com that's ri e n

(17:00):
os dot com slash ks r to learn more State
renos dot com slash ks r because they'll show up
and finish the job and they mean it, or they'll
give you money. It's just State Renovations. We'll take a
break of be right back. It's kiss working back.

Speaker 4 (17:14):
Take radio. It's Holger Rune not Holger Dane. He's Danish,
but his name is Rude. Yeah, so I got that role.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
He's persistent, little feller.

Speaker 4 (17:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Well, I mean if if the eleventh time is a charm,
I believe it's a Danish setting.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
It's the same.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
In America it's third, but in in Denmark it's eleventh.
If I'm nine to two eight oh, twenty two eighty seven, let's.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
Go the phone. Who's up first?

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Let's go to Rick?

Speaker 8 (17:39):
Rick?

Speaker 4 (17:39):
Go ahead, Rick?

Speaker 9 (17:42):
Oh yeah, how y'all doing today? I hope you have
a blessed one.

Speaker 10 (17:46):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (17:46):
First and foremost, Ryan my son is your pool?

Speaker 4 (17:49):
Is your pool? Boy?

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Well, he does a great job, is it, Tristan your.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
Son is his pool? Okay? And so does he say
Ryan is a good ball.

Speaker 9 (18:02):
Yeah, he's got a good thing to say about Ryan's man.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
I gotta be honest. He says he didn't like he
didn't like my dogs. My dogs go after him, and
and I've had to be careful in Tristan.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
Gay, so he doesn't.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Ok Wait a minute, see I could I knew there
was hesitation in your voice.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Real can tell. So he doesn't like Ryan's dogs, right.

Speaker 9 (18:21):
No, he don't like his dogs but he says, Ryan's
pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
Huh, all right, well good, what do you got?

Speaker 9 (18:28):
And he's well also he said, he sold you a
picture of my pickup, which is a twenty two Silverado.
It's a University Kentucky edition that I drive around. He's
been trying to steal. Anyway, What in the world is
going on with the quarterback situation? We've seen every time
they go into the portal it seems like they don't

(18:49):
want to spend no money to get somebody that knows
what the heck they're doing.

Speaker 8 (18:52):
This team was.

Speaker 9 (18:53):
Doing good for the longest time, and now all of
a sudden, it's like they can't win a bag on game.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Well, I mean I think they've spent money. I mean
they've got I appreciate the call. I mean I think
they've gotten With Brandon, griff and Leary, they got dudes
that were very highly ranked. Calzada was a little lower,
but at one point in his career has been highly ranked.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
I think they got guys that they spent money.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
I don't know if they got their top choices always,
but it just hasn't. Why do you think it's not
worked out this season?

Speaker 7 (19:25):
I think people are putting a little too much money
into Calzada's bank account. I don't think he was as
expensive as a lot of people think, because you're already
paying Cutter Bowley a lot of money, and you had
to keep him here this year knowing he's next year's plans,
so Kalzada. They knew they had to get somebody, and
you know, Calsata, I don't think was top twenty five
quarterbacks in the portal rankings.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
So I see him. They paid him, You think they,
I mean, do you think they I.

Speaker 7 (19:50):
Mean saying numbers. I have no idea about numbers. I
just don't know that he's even the highest paid quarterback
on the roster. But you had to get somebody to
put with Bowley because last year the small look you
got a bowlie couldn't put all your eggs in that basket.
But Learry and Vandergriff were very expensive and to that point,
you know, those didn't work out either, So it is
an ongoing problem moving forward. Those were two of the

(20:10):
most sought after guys in their portal classes.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
Yeah, I mean, I think it's a fair question.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
Larry and Vandergriff, lots of people wanted did work Drew's
probably got a good point.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
They probably split. They probably split.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
The money between cutter and and and Kalzana and so far,
maybe not pay the biggest dividends on the cows out
of party.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
Who's next, Kelly, Kelly, go ahead, Kelly.

Speaker 10 (20:34):
Hey, you got a quick suggestion on the shoe purchase
for your trip. Once you get these shoes, because I've
had to break in a lot of work shoes for
my line of work as a mail carrier. You can
take insoles from shoes that you've already broken in and
stick them on the inside of the boot that you're
trying to break in, and that'll give your foot aid.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yeah, I don't have any soles that I've broken in.
Let me ask you a question. People have said this
to me and riding you seem like a guy who
would know. Again, assume I'm stupid, all right when it
comes to this stuff. People keep telling me I need
to break in the shoes. Okay, So in theory, I
know one way you can break them in is to
use them. But I guess the principle is I don't
want to ruin my feet while I'm using them. So

(21:16):
is there a way for me to break them in?
Without also getting blisters while I'm breaking them in.

Speaker 10 (21:22):
There's a way to break in shoes, especially if they're
leather a little bit quicker. You can soak them in
some lukewarm water and that loosens up the fibers of
that leather a little bit. The main difficulty with breaking
in boots is they're usually just made of a denser
material than your average tennis shoe, so it's gonna be

(21:44):
a little bit rough.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
So if I put them on lukewarm water, I won't
you If I put them in lukewarm water, I won't
ruin them.

Speaker 10 (21:52):
I don't think. So you might want to look at.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Shoes is what you're gonna have.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
I don't know if I want to walk around with
wet shoes.

Speaker 10 (22:00):
I've never done that technique myself. I've heard people have
tried it and it's worked. I've had concerns about ruining
shoes myself though doing that, which is why I haven't.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
I mean, I support you that can I just beat
them against the wall, Shannon? What can I do to
I think you can?

Speaker 2 (22:15):
You know it, take them, sort of flex them a
little bit, you know, I think it would help break
them and.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Throw them down on the streets here in New York exactly.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Yeah, dropping from a building.

Speaker 7 (22:24):
I think you're getting too serious with this boot. You're
not like climbing mountains. I have a sneaker Hokah hiking boot. Yeah,
you're not getting in the water. You just need something
to keep your feet comfortable. That's a high high top shoe.
I've been to three hiking trips with like a sneaker boot,
and it's fine. You're not out there living on what's.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
A sneaker boot.

Speaker 7 (22:45):
It's breathable, it's cushioned at the bottom, like mine or
Hokah brand.

Speaker 6 (22:49):
They're great.

Speaker 7 (22:50):
I've been out for two days on a hike and
it's been fine. The leather and all this stuff, you're not.
You're gonna do this one time and probably not wear
them again. I think you're getting a little too extreme.
You act well, get a good get a good get
a good comfortable shoe. You're not a professional. We don't
have to break in leather. You just need a good
high top that's durable, because you're not out doing too

(23:11):
many activities on this.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
Is no. He has no faith. We know you. I know.

Speaker 3 (23:22):
I'm sure I would get boots, put him in water,
and then they'd be ruined. I'd be like, thanks a lot,
We'll take a break. Very back, scare.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Man, turn around, Come ahead.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Kentucky Sports Radio present it by Stockton Mortgage.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Here's Matt Jones.

Speaker 8 (23:43):
Welcome back.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
Take Sports Radio if I'm nine two eighty seven UK
football game Ryan against Old Miss was the second most
watched game of the weekend. Last weekend, only Michigan Oklahoma
had more viewers four point eight million viewers. It was
the sixth most watch game of the season so far.
Good or bad. Well, considering how that went.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Like we talked about earlier this week, you know, it's
on Network TV and right in the middle of the
day at three thirty, and all of a sudden that
score pops up. Kentucky's ahead of All Miss ten nothing.
I think a lot of eyes flipped over to watch
this game, like, oh, maybe Mark Stups can beat Lane
kipping for the second year in a row. Only do
these those people watch us kind of they got.

Speaker 4 (24:25):
In the first half.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
It probably played out the worst he could drew because
I think everybody probably turned over just in time to
see us fall apart at the end of the first half.

Speaker 7 (24:34):
Yeah, that's the bad part. Like with our YouTube videos,
we can see the exact moment people are watching when
they turn it off, when they turn it on. Hopefully,
when ABC sees that, a lot of second half viewers
seeing oh, Kentucky's quarterback just hurt. Their backup came in.
Didn't look too bad. They were within seven. But if
you're watching the last two minutes that first half, that
was just making fun of Kentucky.

Speaker 4 (24:54):
Yeah. Yeah, that's the unfortunate part. But you know, I mean,
that's it.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
Because Kentucky plays Louisville every year to finish the year
the second or third week of the season, we are
going to get a big time game SEC game every
single year, and because most of the other teams in
the SEC have not started their conference play yet, we
will get this slot a lot, right this week two

(25:24):
prime slot we've now had for like three years in
a row, for three or four years in a row,
and we took advantage of it a couple times when
we beat South Carolina and beat Ole Miss. Then we
looked awful last year during the South Carolina game I
think in Week two, but it's a big game for
Kentucky becauselts for some people to be the only time

(25:44):
they watch them play all year.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Yeah, and you just said that. Last two years we
got embarrassed at home by South Carolina and then we look,
we don't know what we're doing at home against Ole
Miss two years in a row. Maybe this is not
a good time spot for Kentucky to end up, but
we're gonna have.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
It every year because of that that Louisville game.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
Because of the Louisville game, and because UK makes the
decision to play their FCS game at the end of
the year, which I don't like.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
I think we should be playing that at the beginning
of the year.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
But because we choose to play it at the end
of the year, we will end up with an SEC
game of importance Week two almost every season, and it
just puts a lot of it put a lot, puts
a lot of importance into that game every year, and
this year we saw what happened.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
What's next, Derek, Derek, go ahead, Derek.

Speaker 5 (26:32):
Yeah, I get the things I'd like to talk about.
If you don't find uh, you don't think as a
fan base we should be cheering for the football team
to win instead of going into the game as all,
we're gonna lose because I feel like those guys would
play harder.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
It's not the it's not the fans fault. There's nothing.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
None of this is the fans fault, I think if
you want to know, but I think if you watch
that game, fans cheer weird.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
It was.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
It was loud when the fans cheered early. I don't
think I think the fans cheered. I mean there's a
difference between saying should the fans cheer yes, should the
fans be pumped up yes, Should the fans be encouraging yes.
That's different though than the second part you said, which
is shouldn't we come into the game talking about how
we're gonna win? That's not rational.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
I mean we can't go into every game just going, well,
we're gonna win because we always win.

Speaker 11 (27:27):
That.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
I mean, that's just not that's not analysis. That's just
like being a cheerleader.

Speaker 5 (27:35):
Well that's kind of what a fan is is cheering
their team on. But my second thing is, but do
you mean it's like you.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
Should do We think we should not act like we're
struggling ever, we should just always say go team.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no no, that's not
what I'm saying. I'm saying we should be trying to
push them through to the win, not.

Speaker 8 (28:00):
Off the rip.

Speaker 5 (28:01):
Yeah, I think people. My second I think that goes
into my second part of the question is you know
Saban had so much success with different coordinators almost every season.
Why can we not get to that level of success.
And I'll get off here and listen.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
I mean, because my answer would be because Mark Stoops.

Speaker 4 (28:25):
Drew is not Nick Saban, right. I mean, you know.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
Some coaches produce some coaches, the names around them change
and they keep rolling because they're legends. And then some
coaches are they lose their coordinator and things they're never
the same again because it was the coordinator not them,
or it was the team. I think Mark Stoops has
done an amazing job with consistency at defensive coordinator and

(28:53):
producing consistent great defenses. But for whatever reason, Drew it's
just not worked out consistently on the offensive side.

Speaker 7 (29:01):
And you're right on the Nick Sab in comparison. Stoops
isn't Nick Saban and Kentucky's not Alabama. I mean, he
named the job that coaches would run through fire to
get I don't know that Kentucky's even on the top
ten when our spot's opened. But you know it is
not just compared to Saban. There is an offensive coordinator
issue since Stoops tenure. We've been talking about it long
before Bush Hampden got here, and he even.

Speaker 6 (29:22):
Said last Saturday.

Speaker 7 (29:23):
I don't tell him anything to do, but there are
just too many examples of it looking the same over
the course of time.

Speaker 4 (29:28):
That's hard to basketball. For a second. Okay, if I
were to say, how.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
Come Old Miss can't get the same recruits Kentucky does
every year in basketball, that would seem like an absurd statement,
But sometimes our football fans act like that statement.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
You know.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
We're not Alabama as a matter of fact. Let me
just read you where we are right now.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
I was.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
I went on the SEC Network's Instagram page just a
second ago. I mean, they have ranked, They've had all
their their announcers give their top sixteen power like ranking
Shinn and you're.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
Ready for it. Let's play a game.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
Let's go alyssa Lane. Where does she have Kentucky sixteen
out of sixteen? Benjamin Watson, where does he have Kentucky
sixteen out of sixteen, Chris Dorin, where does he have
Kentucky sixteen?

Speaker 1 (30:27):
And he's usually pretty optimistic for Kentucky?

Speaker 3 (30:29):
And dary Noka? Where does he have Kentucky sixteen out
of sixteen? Wow, that's unanimous. So you know, I had
someone write me close to university saying, I don't know
why you're so negative right now?

Speaker 4 (30:46):
Two games in the season.

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Fair enough, but these people are objective and every single
one of them has this in last place in the
conference right now, every single one of It's not like
a conflicted opinion.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
I think that matters. Who's next? Noah, Noah, go ahead, Noah.

Speaker 12 (31:08):
Hey Matt, I got two things for you, guys, both
pertaining to football. I remember a caller uh yesterday trying
to get suggestions for songs to be able to help
pump up with the crowd for it, and one of
me game in there was don't Feel the Reaper from
Blue Oyster.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Could.

Speaker 10 (31:20):
I know?

Speaker 12 (31:21):
I am no Dandon the Dude, But as someone who's
been a PA announcer and DJ for sports events for
six plus years, you put that song on. If I
put that song on at any event that I'm working for,
there's no quicker way that the fans are gonna go
to their phones and tune out for the entire event
if you put on something like that, So I hope

(31:41):
that caller comes. Sometimes you give a better suggestion for
a song.

Speaker 4 (31:45):
I have no idea, yeah, and.

Speaker 12 (31:48):
I have no idea if this thing could even work
for it. I don't know the details and stuff with
from an IL necessarily, but I think what would help
put potentially help with it for the football team. You
get an an IL deal between Al eight and Sage Pete,
you shoot a commercial that does almost a remake from

(32:08):
the old Dosa Keith most Interesting Man in the World
type way.

Speaker 8 (32:14):
I like it.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
They waited too long to make that kid known. I
mean they did. I appreciate the call, but they didn't make.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
Any any players know.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
They didn't make any of the players known during the offseason,
and it hurts in and it hurts in a lot
of ways. I mean, at this point, the games are
going on, so it doesn't matter as much. But that
was a huge whiff. It was a huge whiff, and
we called it as it was happening, and nobody seemed
to care. And you know, you still have vast majorities
of the starting lineup of the team that most fans
don't know. And that's you know, the university did that.

(32:43):
They made that decision and they have to live with
the UH with the consequences. Clark's Puppet Shop. Don't commit
a party foul. Get your tailgate ready at Clark's Pumping Shop.

they pick somebody else. Like two people could have the
same card.

Speaker 6 (33:42):
It's your finalist.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Yeah, well but I haven't got the right one yet.
I'm still playing. I'm still trying.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
I don't understand what he's saying. Shit, like take card,
but you don't win.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Yeah, Like they've got like a dick of cards and like, uh,
like they might pull out Shannon the dude who had
cards number eighteen, Well, I also had card number eighteen, the.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
Third number eighteen in a deck of cards.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
I'm just using it as an example. It's one through
fifty two. It's not like a face like a jack
or whatever. Yeah, it's like one through card one through
fifty two.

Speaker 7 (34:17):
Is that's part of your problem, is the deck of
cards you're using. I'll ever get picked.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
One of the problem is he keeps picking eighteen and Shannon.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Going why goes up to king?

Speaker 4 (34:25):
Got the king?

Speaker 1 (34:27):
Why at winning?

Speaker 4 (34:28):
I've got the eighteen of diamonds? Why is this not work?

He thinks it's the hardest conference schedule any team has
ever gotten.

Speaker 6 (35:04):
You know, they had a good offseason.

Speaker 7 (35:05):
Maybe maybe will be one of the problems for those
other teams.

Speaker 4 (35:08):
They like they can be competitive in it. Heck, yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
They could have drawn. They drew eight of the top ten.
They only got uh, they only got one team. I
think that was amongst the not good teams. So you
know they're gonna they're gonna find out early Ryan how
good they are.

Speaker 1 (35:27):

awesome story, really enjoy But I looked to cally in

What's the bad news.

Speaker 11 (36:55):
Well, she came home, she told her husband all about it.
Apparently they've been having a little trouble because he ended
up getting mad at her because she didn't bring that
coon home for dinner, especially with it being already marinated
and teach foot shot.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
All right, well, I appreciate the call. I think that
was this. I don't know what that was a joke.
Was that a joke you think?

deal with it and a lot of kids do. So
that's the one that I usually when I have donations,
et cetera, that's usually what I give to.

Speaker 8 (37:55):
Awesome, that's totally understandable for a flat donation or percentage.
Would you be willing to promote my old and oft
