Now here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
Welcome everyone. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Thursday, September the eleventh.
I'm Matt Jones here, I am in New York, and
the guys are back in Lexington, and Shannon is in Louisville.
And you can get sewn the Clarks Puppet Shop bone
line eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
A Vision Autoglass text machine is seven seven two sep
seven four five two five four. In this audition sponsored
(00:57):
by the t J. Smith Office, if you called TJ,
he'll make them pay a lot of stuff to get
to Today. Football game is Saturday. This the last time
I will be on this show at least regularly in
terms of the whole show, until October third, although I
may check in at some point from South Africa as
(01:18):
I get on a plane tomorrow night. These guys will
be at Clark's pump and shop tomorrow, and I want
to get to all that stuff, But I think you
do have to start with what happened yesterday in Utah,
where a political advocate, Charlie Kirk, was speaking at a
college campus and was shot murdered from afar in what
(01:41):
was a tragic, tragic act and just a murder that
I think has long term ramifications for the country. So
I just want to address this by starting with this.
As soon as it happened, I was Withdrew actually, we
were doing the show for Cover zero, and I Drew
(02:02):
said that the video was online and it's a shame
that in twenty twenty five things like that just show
up on your timeline. Just an absolutely horrific scene. We
were in the middle of taping the podcast. We kind
of stopped, took a minute to take it in, and
my initial reaction was simply this.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
It was.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
It is awful to see any human being killed for
basically speaking their beliefs or you know, being in a
public setting. We don't know exactly they don't have the
person who did it yet, so we don't know the
exactly the motives. But in a public setting speaking their
beliefs and being killed. It's the exact opposite of what
(02:47):
America stands for. And when I saw the video, the
first thing I thought of was, what an absolute tragedy.
That's a human being. It's a human being with a wife,
it's a human being with two young children, and it's
a human being that is in front of a mass
of college students, all of whom are engaged in public
(03:11):
affairs and are interested in the state of their government
and the state of society. And I was just really
saddened by it. This is not what America is supposed
to be. This is the kind of thing you hear
happening about in other countries far away around the world.
The idea that you would be an advocate for whatever
(03:33):
your political beliefs are and would be shot down in
public while speaking them.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
It's awful.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Quickly thereafter, if you got on social media it became
a conversation about something else. And I actually tried yesterday
after making a couple of statements, to stay off social
media for that reason, because I don't think as a
starting point people should skip over the basics that a
human being was murdered in front of a group of
college students while speaking.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It's horrible.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
It's absolutely horrible, and it is the type of thing
that can lead to real negativity even beyond that in society.
We're so quick in this country to label people in groups,
whatever groups you want to have, in this case in politics,
it's conservative, liberal, republican, democrat, whatever. But what happens when
(04:28):
you do that, in my opinion, is you end up
dehumanizing the people on the other side. It's easy to say,
I joke about the people that call me liberal, and
it's easy when to say, oh, that's just a mag
of person whatever. But it's easy when you do that
to then forget that it's a human being. And I
think yesterday, very quickly the murder of Charlie Kirk became
(04:51):
not about Charlie Kirk and not about the act, but
a chance to then make your political points, whatever they were.
I saw comments online that were. You know, there were
people cheering it, which is awful. There were people saying,
this is the beginning of you know, world War three,
(05:12):
let's get them also awful. But I want to be
clear that I think that.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Is a very very very very.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Small minority of people. I think most people saw what
I saw, which was a human being being murdered, and
just were horrified by it, absolutely horrified. Social media sometimes
takes the worst of humanity, throws it out there and
makes people think it's the norm.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I don't think it's the norm.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
I think the norm is a lot of people who
saw that and said that's awful, that cannot happen in America,
and maybe being worried that it will happen more. You
notice nowhere during that did I say what his political
beliefs are.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It does not matter. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
You cannot have a world where whatever a person does
and gets up and speaks that they're then no longer
with us. That is a recipe for a disaster. I
heard somebody else, I read somebody else said last night
it's like a forest fire that, once lit, cannot be
put out, and I agree with that. I hope the
(06:25):
country sort of uses this as a moment to take
a step back and say we can't go down this path.
We can disagree with each other, but we are human beings.
We are at its core we have a humanity. And
that is a person who's thirty one years old, who
(06:46):
has a wife and two kids, and who, whether you
agreed with him or not, had a movement of young
people who he really engaged with, and who if you
spent any time on like non Twitter social media and
you went to like Instagram, a lot of people really sad,
(07:06):
people who felt like they knew him. And it has
to change. We cannot have a world where people are
scared to get up in public and say what they think.
Last night I had multiple friends write me and say
something like, hey, man, when you get up and say
stuff in public, like look around And I hadn't even
(07:27):
thought about that. But it can't be like that. I'm
just a sports host. Imagine what people who represent us
or who are in government, who are political commentators. That
world cannot exist. So my heart was broken last night.
One is a human being that a person was killed
(07:47):
in that respect, But two looking forward for the future
and saying I hope I genuinely hope people use this
as a moment to remember that at its core, when
we get to the pearly gates, they're not going to
ask what political what political party that you were in.
They're gonna ask how you treat your fellow human being,
(08:11):
And hopefully we start to remember that we're more than
these labels that we put on us. This morning, apparently
the FBI did a press conference. The shooter is still
at large. They say they have some ideas about who
it is. They found the rifle, but the persons still
not caught. That was the last I saw before the
(08:34):
show started. I don't have an update beyond that. Ryan Drew,
I'll go to you. What were your sort of initial
thoughts when you saw it yesterday?
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Well, first of all, a great job what you just said.
I think we can all piggyback exactly what you just said,
because you're right, man, that was a husband and a
daddy that didn't get to go home to his wife
and kids last night. And it is it's awful, it's disgusting,
and I I stayed off social media. I did not
want Once I've heard that the video was on social media,
(09:05):
I haven't seen it. I don't want to see it,
and I.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Wish I hadn't seen it. Yeah, but you know, I
wish I hadn't seen it. But there's a natural inclination
to want to see it. I guess that's just human nature.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Somebody, you know, he was speaking to all and speaking
to some college kids, you know, in public, kind of
like you know, they were rallying around him and to
be taken out a Utah.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Valley State, Right, that's where was that exactly?
Speaker 6 (09:31):
Yeah, it's just it's just disgusting and so uh I
echo everything. You just sick.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
He did a good job with that.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Yeah, well said by you. It's a start, but it's
people just need to get over that. There are other
opinions out there. You don't You don't get to take
someone's life because what they're saying isn't exactly in line
with what you believe. As you said, dude was on
a college campus talking to a bunch of students. I
don't care what he's saying. I don't care if he's right, left, center, middle,
upside down talking about reptile people. You know, it's not
(10:01):
your decision to take someone out of the world or
even intervene in what they're doing. So we got to
get over the fact that there are other opinions out there.
We don't have to hate each other because of it.
We certainly don't have to get violent because of it.
And it's just sad that it's gotten to this point
that he's up there expressing what he believes to people
who are wanting to listen. They're there to hear him,
and it ends in a tragedy like this. It's just
(10:22):
completely unacceptable as a society that we've gotten at this point.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
The thing to say to me, Shannon, is this, it's wrong,
full stop.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
That's it. That's the end of the conversation there on.
There's no butt.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Yeah, it's wrong, period, period, period. I've said the same
thing when other things have happened. We have to stop saying,
but what about this?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
It's wrong.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
It's there are acts that occur that are simply wrong,
and you can use other people's behavior to justify anything
you want, and that's a race to the bottom that
leads to us.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
All falling apart.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
It's wrong, it's horrible, it's tragic, and I don't care
anything about his life before. It's wrong, Shannon, and it's
it's awful, and it seems like to me twelve fifteen
hours later or however long, that some people are kind
of coming around to that opinion. I was worried in
(11:23):
the moment, which is why I got off social media
last night.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Yeah yeah, I mean, it's a cowardly act and just
shoot somebody because you don't agree with their opinion. If
you have a problem with somebody, go up and address
it with them face to face. But it's a sad
world that we live in where somebody doesn't agree with
you and you feel the need to go shoot them
and take their life and take them away from their
family and friends just because you don't agree with them.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
He's in a little bit of it.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
He was in a little bit of a different generation
than me in the sense of I didn't hear as
much of him as I think a lot of people
that are younger on social media did. But I did
hear some and I you know, his beliefs aren't working beliefs.
But I also one thing I did like about him
is that he would debate and talk to people that
(12:07):
disagreed with him. That was kind of ale. I think
he got into prominence was doing some of that stuff.
I saw that he had scheduled in a couple of weeks.
There's a kind of the closest thing the left has
as aversion to him. They were going to do a
public appearance together and debate, and ultimately that's a good thing.
You need to talk to each other because one of
the things I like about this show is people get
(12:29):
a chance to maybe hear a different opinion from me
or from other people. But it's awful, it's a tragedy.
I hope we use it as a chance to I
don't want to use the word unify. I'm not sure
that that's going to happen through this, but at least
start seeing the humanity in people. I was glad to
see people who put a picture of his kids put
(12:55):
a picture of his wife out so that everyone, myself included,
can be reminded not of the times you see clips
of him taking a stance on a controversial issue, but
saying at the end of the day he would go
home and two children would run up to him, and
his wife, who everyone says was a lovely person, was there,
(13:17):
and he had friends, and he had family, and he
had millions of people who never had met him, probably
who felt a connection to him, and if you can't
have the humanity for that, then we're losing track of
what's important. In my opinion eight five nine two eight
(13:39):
zero twenty two eighty seven. I don't want the calls
or the show. I hope you understand to be about that,
because then it will just kind of go down that path.
We will take a break and when we come back,
we'll talk about other things. But I thought it would
be irresponsible not to address that to start. This is
Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back, Tukey Sports Radio AF five
nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. The text machine
(14:00):
is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four.
Some of you write me, that's fine. You feel free
to write your comments on the text machine. I will
say one thing. I do hope two things that I
and then i'll move on one. I hope people do
agree with me, because I do think it's true that
a lot of what you're seeing online.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Is not like representatives of society. I mean, it's just
not like it's it's.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
People who have accounts where they don't use their name
so they can say whatever they want, or even people
who are like just trying to get things stirred.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Up.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
I hope people realize I do not think that represents America.
I think ninety eight to ninety nine percent of Americans
would say this result is awful and they would agree
on it. Secondly, just a little bit on the aftermath, Shannon,
are you I'm a little surprised they haven't.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Caught the guy.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I am too, with all of those people there, yeah, yeah,
and the FBI and everybody.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I mean, the FBI announced last night.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
That they they had them, and then well, sorry, no
we don't.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I don't really know how that happens. But I'm really surprised,
aren't you.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
That's something that like high profile, that many people there,
that the person would have been able to get away,
and that we don't have a name or even a
picture of.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Right.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Yeah, I saw that the video of them hauling off
this old man. It turns out it wasn't him, and
they don't know who it is.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
I like, I knew it wasn't him when his pants
were fine. I was like, he was not going to
be that guy. Did not do it, you could just tell.
But I'm really surprised.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
You know, there's like some wooded area behind that there
were showing, so I would assume there's a man hight
going on now, and if you don't find the suspect
within the first forty eight hours, it gets even more difficult.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Are you were you surprised Drew about that that that
that he's still at large.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
Yeah, very surprised. And I think that's another problem with
the world today is when you try to look for
real information on the Internet, everyone with an account is
trying to break a story, and there's just so much
stuff that's inaccurate, Like, no, it's real, Like that older guy,
it's almost like, well, I guess I'll just wait till
we you know for sure something's out, because if you
go out just trying to seek news, there's just so
much crap out there mixed in.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
I want to ask you something. When we're talking about this,
we're not that far removed from the assassination attempt on
President Trump at a rally outside.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Are we?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
But they knew who that guy was immediately or fairly
soon after. I think they didn't they catch I mean
I was that day and killed him. Okay, so they
killed him like that day, So I mean they knew
that quickly. I'm just now, granted there are more people
on the scene with the president, so it's probably easier
than Secret Service.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Their whole job right there. But you're gonna go ahead
fish what you were saying right about being outside.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Well, are we to the point where you know this
a lot what America is based on, where you get
to speak your mind? And then now this is I
would be scared if I.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Was a political person on the right or the left
right now and I went and spoke in public settings
like that, I'd be I don't know if I would
do it right now like today, you know, I think
I think it would be I don't know. I don't
know that this would be the time to do it.
Would you all, like if you were, let's say you
(17:07):
were a liberal commentator, would you want to be in
public in the next week or a conservative commentator, would
you want to do that?
Speaker 7 (17:14):
I don't know if I would, certainly not outdoors. And
a lot of places don't even want him to do
these out do I mean, Charlie Kirk, even Lexington. I
mean a lot of people on college campuses. They're doing
these in auditoriums because you don't reasonnite and it's like
when the president comes through, you have secret service, you
have like a campus police community to watch out for this.
So that's why a lot of them won't even would you.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Would you do something like this outside?
Speaker 4 (17:35):
No, I don't know if I was worth risk it.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Yeah, I do wonder, Ryan, I do wonder if that's over,
you know, if they don't do anything now, not in
a controlled environment, which is a shame.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
But you could understand why people wouldn't want to do it.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Right, You got to understand that. You know, this is
how happened twice a political rally, somebody takes assassination.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
There's just so many variables, I guess when you're outside, right, Like,
there's so many there's so many different ways. Yeah, I
mean it's it's yeah, it's it stinks. All right, let's
switch gears. Uh U k u an Eastern Michigan playing Saturday.
It looks like Drew according to reports that Cutter Bowley
(18:21):
will start.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Ryan Lemon's scoop had that thought earlier in the week,
but now multiple people are saying it. So what is
uh what are we gonna get now with the Cutter
Bowley experience.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
I think you couldn't ask for a better time to
have Eastern Michigan they're not good. Uh, they've they've lost
to some teams that you know, directional teams, one of
the Texas teams. I don't know who they've lost too
Long Island. Do they play Long Island? Point is Cutter
gets a team that's not an SEC opponent to kind
of go out, let's see what you got a little bit.
This one shouldn't be an issue. Uh, it's better than
(18:57):
you know, if he had the next week go to
at South Carolina or you know, god from one of
the later games, so that would be I hate that
the Calzada run with short lived for him. But if
you're gonna make the switch, I think now is the
best time to do it because you kind of have
this buffer game to uh, one of the easier defenses
you'll face.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
I agree with you. I mean, this is that that
you couldn't ask for a better game? Ran Do you
think this is now a Cutter Bowlie is the quarterback
at Kentucky unless he gets hurt?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Like? Is that where we are right now?
Speaker 6 (19:27):
I really feel like we're seeing the beginning of the
Cutter Bowly era. It starts I think Saturday.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
I think this so like this quarterback that they got
out of the portal. It's like two and out absent
in injury.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
I think that's it. I think the fact he got
injured kind of maybe he pushed this plan a little
faster along than they thought it was going to But
I think Drew said, this is a perfect scenario for
Cutter to kind of get your feet wet against a
team you should handle pretty easily. They threw me his
first start last year against Louisville. Half that team had
checked out by the time that game had even started. Well,
not kind of not fair to throw him into against Texas,
(19:59):
and then.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
The the first played against Texas.
Speaker 7 (20:02):
Yeah, no, no, no, they threw him in the swamp
without warming up. He stood up off the bench and
went through a pass in the swamp. Was So he's
done in the swamp at Texas and the Governor's Cup
have been his three auditions.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah, he's probably gonna be excited to see Eastern Michigan.
That's right. I didn't think about that. So his first
start last year was Louisville.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Yeah, and you're right, half the team had probably quit.
So what do you expect to see from it? Like
when he actually gets in there, how do we what
do we think he's gonna do well.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Like you said, this is a perfect scenario because the
defense is not that strong. I think they're gonna put
move the chains a lot, put a lot of points
on the board, and I think it's just gonna not
only jump start the fan base, get them excited about
Cutter being a quarterback, but I think that locker room
needs that. I think they need that little excitement, little push,
and maybe maybe they play a little harder because Cutters
out there doing some good things.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Do you think you get Drew?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Like some people who weren't sure whether or not to
make the drive Saturday, do they now make the drive
because Cutters there?
Speaker 7 (21:02):
I don't you know there's an excitement for Cutter. I
don't know if it's, honey, let's get in the car
and get to the Lexington excitement if you haven't already
played the Lexington, Yeah, get to the Lexington.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
I don't know if it's let's change our plans and
get to Kroger Field because Cutters starting. But there is
the fan base is excited and at least playing all
miss closed the night game coming up. Haven't had too
big of a disaster outside that first half. I think
you'll still get some decent tilgating just because it's the
first all day Saturday.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Yeah, I think it probably helps with it. So what success, Shannon?
I mean, see, you can't just be beating the Eastern Michigan.
People are gonna want to see them. I think I
want to even throw the ball. They're gonna want to
see him. Minsh like move like, what do you think
is success?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Well, the spread is twenty four and a half, just
to give you a gauge on that. So I think
if Kentucky were to cover that, that would be success.
I think that Kentucky is going to run the ball
a lot because Eastern Michigan has given up over six
hundred yards in the first two games this year so far.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I mean, I'm sure Cutter is gonna throw, but how
much is he going to throw? I think it's gonna
be a heavy running game against them. But here's my thing.
What if Cutter looks great against Eastern Michigan then starts
against South Carolina and does it look so great and
Kalasada is still available?
Speaker 4 (22:18):
What do you do the next game?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Then then you got that quarterback controversy all over again,
and you got to pick.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
I think let's assume that he's available, although I maybe
he's not well.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
He said he's available for this game.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Stoop said that, but then then somebody said he hadn't
cost all week, but he said, then.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
It's hard to go back to him. I think, I
think you can't just keep going back and forth. I
don't think that does either one of them, right right.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yeah, you got to pick one.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
I think once you did, if Kalzonda is available and
you start Cutter, then you gotta play Cutter unless it
just doesn't work because because if I if you go
back to Calsonda, then Cutters, you lose Cutter, right, So
I yeah, yeah, once you make this decision, in my opinion,
you made it. If I'm nine twenty two eighty seven,
we'll take your calls very back.

Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
Welcome back, Tukey Sports Radio. A five nine two eight
twenty two eighty seven. Text machine is seven seven two
seven seven four five two five four. I get a
lot of messages, so I'll answer a couple of these
before we go to the phones. One person rights, Matt, what
would you say by all the people on your side
who were cheering yesterday and saying that it was a
good thing. Well, the your side implies that there are
(23:34):
two sides of humanity in America and that one of them, uh,
the whatever, the one you believe, and the other one, whatever,
the one you don't believe, are constantly war. And I
just don't believe that's the case. Drew Franklin and Shannon,
and Ryan and Billy and Mario, I mean, just all
five of them. Let me use them as an example.
Like I care about these things. I follow politics on
(23:55):
a pretty regular basis. It's always great to be with
these five guys because they don't all five of them,
they don't. I'm not gonna say they don't care, but
I wouldn't say that their lives. I would say less
than five percent, maybe less than three percent, of all
five of their lives are really.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Following those kinds of things.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
They live their life for the things that they care about,
the things that they love, and that's what drives them.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
And they each have different beliefs.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Like if I were to put them on a political scale,
I'd probably put like Mario the farthest left.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
And right than Drew, then Ryan, then maybe Shannon, then.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Billy, But for all five of them, I don't know
that they really drives them at all. And so you
know what I think. I think ninety nine percent of
Americans are like them.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I do.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
I think ninety nine percent of Americans are like them,
And then the one percent that are not like them
are online and are online disproportionately, and they drive all
of our discourse where ninety nine percent of people feel like,
that's not me. That's what I think. Now, Am I
one of the one percent? I'm not one of the
(25:06):
one percent screaming. I probably care about it a lot,
but it's driving me to be more like the ninety
nine percent because I don't want to spend my life
screaming at people.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
And I'm not.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
I'm not, but I do think it's worth remembering there
are more people like Mario, Billy, Byan, Shannon, and Drew.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Than there are everybody else.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
So I went that to me, is how I have
like comfort that things can be okay is because when
I see these dudes, that's not what they're talking about
we're making fun of Ryan for the various things he does,
and Mario's telling him he's inconsistent, and yeah, and Dolly Madison,
(25:49):
Like that's what life is for a lot of these folks.
So I think that's that's how most people are. I'm
here in New York. I was walking around last night.
There were tens of thousands of people on the street
and no one Shannon was talking about this.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
No one.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
They were living their lives. They were just doing whatever
they do.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
What most people here talking about is this is the
anniversary of nine to eleven. I'm staying at this moment's
five blocks from the World Trade Center, and I walked
by there yesterday.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
It was very powerful. I mean there's people everywhere, officers everywhere.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
I watched a group of pilots that were dressed in
pilot uniforms and they were putting up a memorial for
today's events for the pilots that were that died on
nine to eleven. Like, that's what people are talking about
today because I'm so.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Close literally to where the building is.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
But so that's how I kind of feel better about it,
is this is an awful thing, but people most people don't,
don't focus on it the way those of us that do,
or you all that do care to that strong degree.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Who's first shit?
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Let's start with Alex, Alex, go ahead, Alex.
Speaker 9 (27:04):
Hey, Matt, first time, long time?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Who.
Speaker 9 (27:07):
I was on a flight from Paris, France to Atlanta,
and to my astonishment, as I was walking in my seat,
I see Mark Pope in first class. Do you have
any clue on why he was there?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
He was France, he was going from where to where?
Speaker 9 (27:29):
From Paris, France to Atlanta? What was actually we never
actually got off the tarmac. This is on Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
No, Well, maybe a vacation, or maybe maybe he was
there to see a player.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I don't know. Why. Why do you think Drew he
would be in Paris.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
With Pope?
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Who knows?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
The man does not stop? Yes, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
I mean we know they've branched out in international recruiting. Also,
I don't think it's Paris. But one of his daughters
is over London. Maybe she's somewhere over there. I remember
when Kentucky was over there, or he was over recruiting,
he made a trip to see her. But I mean
it really with him, It could be anything.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I don't have any anything.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
My guess is that if he flew it was flying commercial,
it was probably a personal trip and he was there
for vacation or something like that.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Did you say hi to him?
Speaker 8 (28:20):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (28:21):
Yeah, of course I did. I shook his hands that
I'm happy he's the coach and happy with everything he's done.
And he was very kind. He asked for my name.
Seemed like a great guy. But actually funny enough, we
actually never ended up taking off on that plane. We
sat on the tarmac for three and a half hours.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
To ask him, Alex why he was embarrass I mean, yeah,
did you.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Not want to ask him?
Speaker 9 (28:45):
Well, I was going to my seat so like I
was just so like I had a line of people
behind me, and then afterwards I was I was just
in the back so like there was no chance I didn't.
I felt uncomfortable like going up there and bothering you
as we're dealing with like three and a half hour
to last.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Well, I understand, Well, I appreciate the call. Uh, you know,
everybody gets to have a life, Ryde. Some people need
to go to Paris. If if I was UK coach,
maybe you would do that.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
But you guys said I would not be shocked if
he's going over there to see a player. I mean,
you know, he just he picks up and he in
a minute, and I'll go drive somewhere, fly somewhere to
go see somebody, meet somebody, talk to somebody. Wouldn't shock
me if he flew to Paris came back the next day.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Who's up next, Jason.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Jason, go ahead, Jason.
Speaker 8 (29:29):
Hey Man, thanks for telling the call. Uh. I specifically
waited for the week we played Eastern Michigan. I asked
this question. I would call it another hindsight hypothetical. If
you remember I asked you about calif.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
You did k Yeah, So this.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
One goes a little farther back than even that one did.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
So.
Speaker 8 (29:50):
I was at the Eastern Michigan game back in twenty
nineteen when Terry Wilson got hurt. Yes, and you know
how you scrutinize all the mistakes and everything that was
made this past week and everything. I got back to
that game. At the time he got hurt, Kentucky was
up seventeen to three, but they had been at the
(30:12):
goal line and lost to fumble. There was lost one
touchdowns with a fumble going in and then they had
another one called back the cause the Behold, what do
you think if they had been up, had scored those
two times and been up thirty one to three, would
Terry Wilson have already been out of the game, and
you know, the backup been in there. We might have
had a completely different season that. I actually think that twenty.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I appreciate the calling healthy.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Yeah, Drew, there was a there was a nine o'clock
KSR where someone said, and I didn't read it, I
just saw the headline.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
That I wrote it, so I could probably help. Okay, Yeah,
so talk about what you meant by that.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
Yeah, Well, Terry got hurt on that horse collar tackle
against Eastern Michigan. It was a flag nasty player hurt,
his knee goes off waving, and that was following the
Citrus bawl years Oops even said earlier this season talking
about Toledo, he was very optimistic about that twenty nineteen team.
Week two, Eastern Michigan. We lose Terry Wilson at the
very end of the third quarter for the season. Sawier
Smith comes in throws two touchdowns. But then two weeks later,
(31:13):
Sawer Smith gets hurt and that opened the door for
Lynn Boden. So the Eastern Michigan game kind of paved
the way for one of the seasons we'll remember forever
as a Kentucky fan because they are the ones that
injured Terry on a nasty horse collar.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
And the caller's right like that ended up being a
season we remember positively because of the Lynn Boden experience.
But Drew, I think people thought if Terry Wilson had
played the year, maybe we could have been really really
good again.
Speaker 7 (31:39):
Definitely, And even I mean I think, and I think
I know I wrote it, so I saw your's first
pass was a fifty four yard touchdown pass. Even when
he came in, we're like, all right, well let's just
keep this thing rolling. And then you get down to
Lynn and we throw our arms in the air like, oh,
season's over. But then Boden won six of eight, So yeah,
I mean, Terry might have was he gonna win seven eight?
So it's just it's a neat connecting Eastern Michigan to
(32:02):
how that special year, how it all started in this game,
how they had to go off script.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
And Eddie Grane doesn't get near enough credit for what
he did that year. Designed you know, everybody get ready
for Terry Wilson designed that offense, then he had to
design an offense for Sawyer Smith. Then he had to
completely change for a third time and design it for
Lynn Bowden.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
The Lynn Bowden games are just that's a wild thing
to think in hindsight, that we had a dude who
didn't even play quarterback and he won as many games
as he did. Who's next, Joe, Joe, go ahead, Joe.
Speaker 10 (32:31):
Quickly, Matt, have a great trip to South Africa. Uh,
the big question, all Wildcafe fans gone to her mind.
We got an open week after Eastern Michigan. Matt, as
you well know and everybody there know, we don't do
very good on an open week. I'm praying this is
the exception. This is the exception.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Matt.
Speaker 10 (32:49):
Have good vibes over your South Africa. I'm gonna have
a good vis back here in Lexington and Louisville, and
just prayed that somehow, if the wallcast could get a
roll victory against South Carolina and they quarterback is not
a problem. And Matt, you well though too, this cannot
turn into a quarterback controversy or just he will go
three and eight or three three and nine, So hopefully
(33:10):
have a great trip, and I praying in the open
week that somehow coach Ues finds a way to get
a victory against South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
I agree.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Listen, if we while I'm gone, we beat South Carolina,
I'll be in Athens for that game when I get back,
cause I think it'll be That would be an awesome,
awesome thing if we're able to do it.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
No Chay Linda Farms.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
I've been telling you about this beef forever and now
we use it in our burgers at Ksbar. I've gotten
so many compliments on the burgers, especially in the last
week and a half. People just keep telling me they're great. Well,
they're no Chase and the reason we're cooking them different,
but also the no Chay Linda Farms beef. They've done
an amazing job and you can get them at the bar.
You can also get them at home. No Cha Lindafarms
(33:50):
dot com.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
N O. C. H.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Elenda Farms dot Com, Kentucky Proud Beef right here in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
It's completely changed the taste and the way our burgers
work at the bar, and it can do it at
your home. Eight five nine, seven oh seven, seven thousand
and five, seven thousand and four, Steve Grissom place in order,
No cha Lindafarms dot com. If you haven't had them
telling you absolutely excellent, We'll take a break. Perry Backs,
Kentucky Sports Radio. I like this song, Shannon. So there's
(34:20):
the guy that sings with Blind Melon. Now does he
sound like this?
Speaker 3 (34:24):
I haven't really heard them live, but I'm playing this
because they're playing at Bourbon and Beyond Us later today.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
So I'll let you know. I guess whenever I talk.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
About let me know in October, i'll tell you.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
But I do wonder because this guy is a very
unique voice, right, like that sort of falsetto.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
I think that would be a hard voice to emulate.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
I don't even know that, yes, and I didn't even
know they were still a band, but they are.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
They'll be there.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
They have other songs besides this they do.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
I don't know that anybody who's not a Blind Melon
fan would know them.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Yeah. I love this song though, although it's very sad
when you hear the words.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
No, that's how you don't pay attention to the words yeah,
you can't.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
This is what we talked about this about a couple
of years ago about this song. You can't listen to
the words. The words are really tragic, like she He's like,
I don't want to cry, Please stay with me, so
I don't cry.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
But he sounds so happy singing.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
But he sounds happy, right.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
I start to complain because there's no he's complaining because
there's no rain because he's so depressed.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
The rain makes it better for him.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
That's good stuff.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Yeah, it's depressing though, if you said, don't think about it.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
But again, that's why I always say, if good music,
the word don't matter.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
The Margherita of Ill effect exactly, don't listen to the words.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
He's drunk in his house because no one's with him
and he's by himself and he's drinking Margarita's.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
That's it's not happy, but it sounds happy.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
Lamar Jackson Drew apologized said about the guy that he
that that hit him at the at the Bills Ravens game.
He apologized, said I shouldn't have hit him. But then
he said, but dude, just chill, which I thought was
kind of a funny. Come man, do you think he
should have apologized?
Speaker 7 (36:04):
Being Lamar and his status, I guess. Sure, it's a
good look to apologize, even though we didn't really need it.
We're all on your side. Lamar, the kid needed to
be shoved, probably should have shoved him again. He got
two licks on Ravens. Lamar should have gotten two on him.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I liked that he goes though, Ryan, just chill. You
know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
I shouldn't hit I shouldn't hit you, but man, chill,
which I think that's a fair response. I don't think Lamar.
I mean, I guess you have to apologize, but I
don't really.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Think he did anything wrong. Dude hit him in the
hit and he didn't hit him. He just pushed him.
He didn't hit him in the head.
Speaker 6 (36:36):
So Lamar Jackson did absolutely nothing wrong. But it is
a good look for him to go ahead and apologize.
Then the NFL banned that guy now from every stadium
for life or something.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
Well, we talked about this on cover zero, which came
out last night, in which I'd love for you to download.
Drew and I did an episode. We had this conversation
because I don't know how they're able to do that,
Like how did they know?
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Shannon? Yeah, how do they know? Like if he puts
out a fake mustache, fake beard.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
How are they gonna know they're not?
Speaker 3 (37:04):
I mean, I mean they don't scan your ID when
you go into the game, so how would they know.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
And if you go into games, you know the people
working there, half of them do not care.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Half of them I think care too much.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
I've always wanted that there's there's you know, eighty thousand
people going in.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
How do you know?
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I don't think they know, Drew. I'm gonna go on
record and say they don't know.
Speaker 7 (37:23):
Yeah, I don't think they definitely don't know. Like if
you're that kid, I mean, those are good seats. You
just go back this week said somewhere. I mean, are
they gonna have pictures of them at every entrance? I
don't even know how you stop them from this Sunday
you can't. Maybe not the same exact seats, but I'm
gonna be looking at that seat I met more with
him having that seat for that game. He's probably got
a little access to find other tickets, a little probably
(37:44):
a little money there. So I mean, I would go
right back to the next home game because they're not
gonna do anything about it.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
If I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven, we
found out from Mark's story who did some investigative reporting Ryan,
that Lane Kiffen and his staff called Sterling Hot Yoga
in Lexington. All right, I've never done hot yoga in Lexington,
done in Louisville. Might have to go visit Sterling sometime.
Sterling Yoga and Lexington said we want a class on
(38:12):
game day. What's the earliest you can do it? And
they created a special class four Old Miss. The day
of the game, thirteen coaches at six point fifteen in
the morning went to Sterling Hot Yoga, took a class
and Lane Kiffin said it made them invigorated for the game.
Now here's my question, what are the chances the UK
(38:35):
staff would ever do that?
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Slim to zero?
Speaker 5 (38:40):
How many members of the UK staff do you think, Ryan, living,
when they go on the road to Columbia, we'll be
calling for a hot yoga studio before the game.
Speaker 6 (38:52):
I don't see any of them, No, but none of them.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
On game day it's six fifteen in the morning. You
couldn't see students doing downward dog.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
No.
Speaker 6 (39:01):
Well, Ole Miss came out of the gate down ten
to nothing. That's like they almost works in reverse.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Been used to they'd had the downward dog and they
knew how to flip it back up.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
They teach you that in.
Speaker 6 (39:11):
The class Cat Cow, Cat Cow.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
It is interesting though it goes and shows a little
bit drew about energy. Right like these guys, they're up early,
they're doing the six fifteen yoga.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
I mean, I don't know. It was a little o.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
The lane was a little sweaty. He had his shirt off,
but he was he was up.
Speaker 7 (39:29):
Doing his thing, and they're in operation that works. Maybe
we should get up at six am and just go
over the playbook. But I definitely can't imagine our coaching
staff doing hot yoga. Can you see Mark Stoops and
Eric Wolford and they're balancing each other up in the
air like Belichick and his girlfriend did whatever that.
Speaker 5 (39:47):
Movie is in the old days, Big Dog, you think
a little downward dog.
Speaker 6 (39:53):
He's sitting in the bench in the corner eating a
bag of the Cheetos.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
I would love to see Mark Stoops.
Speaker 5 (39:59):
I think our students and his staff should have to
get up and do hot yoga before one of these
road games to show kipping.
Speaker 11 (40:05):
Now.
Speaker 7 (40:06):
I got another problem with this, though, What are as
a community? Why are we facilitating the old miss coaching
staff getting them right for game day. That should have
been a find your own hot yoga. You're the away team.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
I'm okay with that. As a small business.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
Owner, money spends, you know what.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
And today, like the economy, if it's slowing down, you're
bringing me a coaching staff for us, and you say
to me, hey, can we get our coaching staff eat
at eight am? And we're already closed and it doesn't
call it. I'm like, yeah, you know Green's Green Share starting.
Speaker 4 (40:40):
Yeah, I would take it right.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
I bet they paid a premium for it too. Who's next,
Let's go to Jerry. Jerry, go ahead, Jerry.
Speaker 11 (40:48):
Hey Man. First off, prayers out to Charlie Kirk's family
prot those two little kids. And uh, I'm excited to
see Cutter get his chance to play and excited to
see him. But I hope they don't run the ball
too much. I hope they really take this chance to
really work on their passing game. And they're gonna have
to have that in these SEC games when these when
(41:08):
they play these really good defensive lines that you know
they're not gonna be able to run the balls much.
They're gonna have to be able to throw the ball,
and that these receivers have had issues getting open, they've
had some other issues and they really need to work
on that in this game.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
I agree with you. Actually, I appreciate the call.
Speaker 5 (41:23):
I mean, right, Shandon talks about how bad the Eastern
Michigan's been during the run. But in some reason, that's
the reason to pass in this game, because you know
you're gonna be able to run. I do think you
got to make sure you win, so you get up early,
and then I think you throw the ball some because
I think you're Jerry's exactly right. We're not gonna win
in the sec without being able to throw. Who's next?
Speaker 4 (41:41):
Uh, quickly, let's get a Doug.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Doug, I got about a minute quick.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
That's not quick.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
You know. It's like, can you hear me, Matt?
Speaker 11 (41:57):
Can you Matt?
Speaker 2 (41:59):
All right? I appreciate. Here's the thing. Here's the thing
like when.
Speaker 5 (42:03):
I have my my friend the Turkey Hunter always says,
do not say quick to people. It makes them less quick.
Immediately when you say a minute or quick, they get
less quick.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
He's probably right.
Speaker 5 (42:16):
Yeah, because it seems like that happens in a distroportional amount.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
We're gonna take a break. We come back. The arms
are back. We'll be right back.

by the t J. Smith Office, if you called TJ,
he'll make them pay a lot of stuff to get
to Today. Football game is Saturday. This the last time
I will be on this show at least regularly in
terms of the whole show, until October third, although I
may check in at some point from South Africa as
(01:18):
I get on a plane tomorrow night. These guys will
be at Clark's pump and shop tomorrow, and I want
to get to all that stuff, But I think you
do have to start with what happened yesterday in Utah,
where a political advocate, Charlie Kirk, was speaking at a
college campus and was shot murdered from afar in what
(01:41):
was a tragic, tragic act and just a murder that
I think has long term ramifications for the country. So
I just want to address this by starting with this.
As soon as it happened, I was Withdrew actually, we
were doing the show for Cover zero, and I Drew
(02:02):
said that the video was online and it's a shame
that in twenty twenty five things like that just show
up on your timeline. Just an absolutely horrific scene. We
were in the middle of taping the podcast. We kind
of stopped, took a minute to take it in, and
my initial reaction was simply this.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
It was.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
It is awful to see any human being killed for
basically speaking their beliefs or you know, being in a
public setting. We don't know exactly they don't have the
person who did it yet, so we don't know the
exactly the motives. But in a public setting speaking their
beliefs and being killed. It's the exact opposite of what
(02:47):
America stands for. And when I saw the video, the
first thing I thought of was, what an absolute tragedy.
That's a human being. It's a human being with a wife,
it's a human being with two young children, and it's
a human being that is in front of a mass
of college students, all of whom are engaged in public
(03:11):
affairs and are interested in the state of their government
and the state of society. And I was just really
saddened by it. This is not what America is supposed
to be. This is the kind of thing you hear
happening about in other countries far away around the world.
The idea that you would be an advocate for whatever
(03:33):
your political beliefs are and would be shot down in
public while speaking them.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
It's awful.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Quickly thereafter, if you got on social media it became
a conversation about something else. And I actually tried yesterday
after making a couple of statements, to stay off social
media for that reason, because I don't think as a
starting point people should skip over the basics that a
human being was murdered in front of a group of
college students while speaking.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
It's horrible.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
It's absolutely horrible, and it is the type of thing
that can lead to real negativity even beyond that in society.
We're so quick in this country to label people in groups,
whatever groups you want to have, in this case in politics,
it's conservative, liberal, republican, democrat, whatever. But what happens when
(04:28):
you do that, in my opinion, is you end up
dehumanizing the people on the other side. It's easy to say,
I joke about the people that call me liberal, and
it's easy when to say, oh, that's just a mag
of person whatever. But it's easy when you do that
to then forget that it's a human being. And I
think yesterday, very quickly the murder of Charlie Kirk became
(04:51):
not about Charlie Kirk and not about the act, but
a chance to then make your political points, whatever they were.
I saw comments online that were. You know, there were
people cheering it, which is awful. There were people saying,
this is the beginning of you know, world War three,
(05:12):
let's get them also awful. But I want to be
clear that I think that.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Is a very very very very.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
Small minority of people. I think most people saw what
I saw, which was a human being being murdered, and
just were horrified by it, absolutely horrified. Social media sometimes
takes the worst of humanity, throws it out there and
makes people think it's the norm.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I don't think it's the norm.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
I think the norm is a lot of people who
saw that and said that's awful, that cannot happen in America,
and maybe being worried that it will happen more. You
notice nowhere during that did I say what his political
beliefs are.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
It does not matter. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
You cannot have a world where whatever a person does
and gets up and speaks that they're then no longer
with us. That is a recipe for a disaster. I
heard somebody else, I read somebody else said last night
it's like a forest fire that, once lit, cannot be
put out, and I agree with that. I hope the
(06:25):
country sort of uses this as a moment to take
a step back and say we can't go down this path.
We can disagree with each other, but we are human beings.
We are at its core we have a humanity. And
that is a person who's thirty one years old, who
(06:46):
has a wife and two kids, and who, whether you
agreed with him or not, had a movement of young
people who he really engaged with, and who if you
spent any time on like non Twitter social media and
you went to like Instagram, a lot of people really sad,
(07:06):
people who felt like they knew him. And it has
to change. We cannot have a world where people are
scared to get up in public and say what they think.
Last night I had multiple friends write me and say
something like, hey, man, when you get up and say
stuff in public, like look around And I hadn't even
(07:27):
thought about that. But it can't be like that. I'm
just a sports host. Imagine what people who represent us
or who are in government, who are political commentators. That
world cannot exist. So my heart was broken last night.
One is a human being that a person was killed
(07:47):
in that respect, But two looking forward for the future
and saying I hope I genuinely hope people use this
as a moment to remember that at its core, when
we get to the pearly gates, they're not going to
ask what political what political party that you were in.
They're gonna ask how you treat your fellow human being,
(08:11):
And hopefully we start to remember that we're more than
these labels that we put on us. This morning, apparently
the FBI did a press conference. The shooter is still
at large. They say they have some ideas about who
it is. They found the rifle, but the persons still
not caught. That was the last I saw before the
(08:34):
show started. I don't have an update beyond that. Ryan Drew,
I'll go to you. What were your sort of initial
thoughts when you saw it yesterday?
Speaker 6 (08:43):
Well, first of all, a great job what you just said.
I think we can all piggyback exactly what you just said,
because you're right, man, that was a husband and a
daddy that didn't get to go home to his wife
and kids last night. And it is it's awful, it's disgusting,
and I I stayed off social media. I did not
want Once I've heard that the video was on social media,
(09:05):
I haven't seen it. I don't want to see it,
and I.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Wish I hadn't seen it. Yeah, but you know, I
wish I hadn't seen it. But there's a natural inclination
to want to see it. I guess that's just human nature.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Somebody, you know, he was speaking to all and speaking
to some college kids, you know, in public, kind of
like you know, they were rallying around him and to
be taken out a Utah.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Valley State, Right, that's where was that exactly?
Speaker 6 (09:31):
Yeah, it's just it's just disgusting and so uh I
echo everything. You just sick.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
He did a good job with that.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Yeah, well said by you. It's a start, but it's
people just need to get over that. There are other
opinions out there. You don't You don't get to take
someone's life because what they're saying isn't exactly in line
with what you believe. As you said, dude was on
a college campus talking to a bunch of students. I
don't care what he's saying. I don't care if he's right, left, center, middle,
upside down talking about reptile people. You know, it's not
(10:01):
your decision to take someone out of the world or
even intervene in what they're doing. So we got to
get over the fact that there are other opinions out there.
We don't have to hate each other because of it.
We certainly don't have to get violent because of it.
And it's just sad that it's gotten to this point
that he's up there expressing what he believes to people
who are wanting to listen. They're there to hear him,
and it ends in a tragedy like this. It's just
(10:22):
completely unacceptable as a society that we've gotten at this point.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
The thing to say to me, Shannon, is this, it's wrong,
full stop.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
That's it. That's the end of the conversation there on.
There's no butt.
Speaker 5 (10:36):
Yeah, it's wrong, period, period, period. I've said the same
thing when other things have happened. We have to stop saying,
but what about this?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
It's wrong.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
It's there are acts that occur that are simply wrong,
and you can use other people's behavior to justify anything
you want, and that's a race to the bottom that
leads to us.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
All falling apart.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
It's wrong, it's horrible, it's tragic, and I don't care
anything about his life before. It's wrong, Shannon, and it's
it's awful, and it seems like to me twelve fifteen
hours later or however long, that some people are kind
of coming around to that opinion. I was worried in
(11:23):
the moment, which is why I got off social media
last night.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Yeah yeah, I mean, it's a cowardly act and just
shoot somebody because you don't agree with their opinion. If
you have a problem with somebody, go up and address
it with them face to face. But it's a sad
world that we live in where somebody doesn't agree with
you and you feel the need to go shoot them
and take their life and take them away from their
family and friends just because you don't agree with them.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
He's in a little bit of it.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
He was in a little bit of a different generation
than me in the sense of I didn't hear as
much of him as I think a lot of people
that are younger on social media did. But I did
hear some and I you know, his beliefs aren't working beliefs.
But I also one thing I did like about him
is that he would debate and talk to people that
(12:07):
disagreed with him. That was kind of ale. I think
he got into prominence was doing some of that stuff.
I saw that he had scheduled in a couple of weeks.
There's a kind of the closest thing the left has
as aversion to him. They were going to do a
public appearance together and debate, and ultimately that's a good thing.
You need to talk to each other because one of
the things I like about this show is people get
(12:29):
a chance to maybe hear a different opinion from me
or from other people. But it's awful, it's a tragedy.
I hope we use it as a chance to I
don't want to use the word unify. I'm not sure
that that's going to happen through this, but at least
start seeing the humanity in people. I was glad to
see people who put a picture of his kids put
(12:55):
a picture of his wife out so that everyone, myself included,
can be reminded not of the times you see clips
of him taking a stance on a controversial issue, but
saying at the end of the day he would go
home and two children would run up to him, and
his wife, who everyone says was a lovely person, was there,
(13:17):
and he had friends, and he had family, and he
had millions of people who never had met him, probably
who felt a connection to him, and if you can't
have the humanity for that, then we're losing track of
what's important. In my opinion eight five nine two eight
(13:39):
zero twenty two eighty seven. I don't want the calls
or the show. I hope you understand to be about that,
because then it will just kind of go down that path.
We will take a break and when we come back,
we'll talk about other things. But I thought it would
be irresponsible not to address that to start. This is
Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back, Tukey Sports Radio AF five
nine two eight twenty two eighty seven. The text machine
(14:00):
is seven seven two seven seven four five two five four.
Some of you write me, that's fine. You feel free
to write your comments on the text machine. I will
say one thing. I do hope two things that I
and then i'll move on one. I hope people do
agree with me, because I do think it's true that
a lot of what you're seeing online.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Is not like representatives of society. I mean, it's just
not like it's it's.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
People who have accounts where they don't use their name
so they can say whatever they want, or even people
who are like just trying to get things stirred.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Up.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
I hope people realize I do not think that represents America.
I think ninety eight to ninety nine percent of Americans
would say this result is awful and they would agree
on it. Secondly, just a little bit on the aftermath, Shannon,
are you I'm a little surprised they haven't.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Caught the guy.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I am too, with all of those people there, yeah, yeah,
and the FBI and everybody.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I mean, the FBI announced last night.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
That they they had them, and then well, sorry, no
we don't.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I don't really know how that happens. But I'm really surprised,
aren't you.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
That's something that like high profile, that many people there,
that the person would have been able to get away,
and that we don't have a name or even a
picture of.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Right.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Yeah, I saw that the video of them hauling off
this old man. It turns out it wasn't him, and
they don't know who it is.
Speaker 5 (15:19):
I like, I knew it wasn't him when his pants
were fine. I was like, he was not going to
be that guy. Did not do it, you could just tell.
But I'm really surprised.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
You know, there's like some wooded area behind that there
were showing, so I would assume there's a man hight
going on now, and if you don't find the suspect
within the first forty eight hours, it gets even more difficult.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
Are you were you surprised Drew about that that that
that he's still at large.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
Yeah, very surprised. And I think that's another problem with
the world today is when you try to look for
real information on the Internet, everyone with an account is
trying to break a story, and there's just so much
stuff that's inaccurate, Like, no, it's real, Like that older guy,
it's almost like, well, I guess I'll just wait till
we you know for sure something's out, because if you
go out just trying to seek news, there's just so
much crap out there mixed in.
Speaker 6 (16:03):
I want to ask you something. When we're talking about this,
we're not that far removed from the assassination attempt on
President Trump at a rally outside.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Are we?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
But they knew who that guy was immediately or fairly
soon after. I think they didn't they catch I mean
I was that day and killed him. Okay, so they
killed him like that day, So I mean they knew
that quickly. I'm just now, granted there are more people
on the scene with the president, so it's probably easier
than Secret Service.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Their whole job right there. But you're gonna go ahead
fish what you were saying right about being outside.
Speaker 6 (16:36):
Well, are we to the point where you know this
a lot what America is based on, where you get
to speak your mind? And then now this is I
would be scared if I.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
Was a political person on the right or the left
right now and I went and spoke in public settings
like that, I'd be I don't know if I would
do it right now like today, you know, I think
I think it would be I don't know. I don't
know that this would be the time to do it.
Would you all, like if you were, let's say you
(17:07):
were a liberal commentator, would you want to be in
public in the next week or a conservative commentator, would
you want to do that?
Speaker 7 (17:14):
I don't know if I would, certainly not outdoors. And
a lot of places don't even want him to do
these out do I mean, Charlie Kirk, even Lexington. I
mean a lot of people on college campuses. They're doing
these in auditoriums because you don't reasonnite and it's like
when the president comes through, you have secret service, you
have like a campus police community to watch out for this.
So that's why a lot of them won't even would you.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Would you do something like this outside?
Speaker 4 (17:35):
No, I don't know if I was worth risk it.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
Yeah, I do wonder, Ryan, I do wonder if that's over,
you know, if they don't do anything now, not in
a controlled environment, which is a shame.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
But you could understand why people wouldn't want to do it.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Right, You got to understand that. You know, this is
how happened twice a political rally, somebody takes assassination.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
There's just so many variables, I guess when you're outside, right, Like,
there's so many there's so many different ways. Yeah, I
mean it's it's yeah, it's it stinks. All right, let's
switch gears. Uh U k u an Eastern Michigan playing Saturday.
It looks like Drew according to reports that Cutter Bowley
(18:21):
will start.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
Ryan Lemon's scoop had that thought earlier in the week,
but now multiple people are saying it. So what is
uh what are we gonna get now with the Cutter
Bowley experience.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
I think you couldn't ask for a better time to
have Eastern Michigan they're not good. Uh, they've they've lost
to some teams that you know, directional teams, one of
the Texas teams. I don't know who they've lost too
Long Island. Do they play Long Island? Point is Cutter
gets a team that's not an SEC opponent to kind
of go out, let's see what you got a little bit.
This one shouldn't be an issue. Uh, it's better than
(18:57):
you know, if he had the next week go to
at South Carolina or you know, god from one of
the later games, so that would be I hate that
the Calzada run with short lived for him. But if
you're gonna make the switch, I think now is the
best time to do it because you kind of have
this buffer game to uh, one of the easier defenses
you'll face.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
I agree with you. I mean, this is that that
you couldn't ask for a better game? Ran Do you
think this is now a Cutter Bowlie is the quarterback
at Kentucky unless he gets hurt?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Like? Is that where we are right now?
Speaker 6 (19:27):
I really feel like we're seeing the beginning of the
Cutter Bowly era. It starts I think Saturday.
Speaker 5 (19:33):
I think this so like this quarterback that they got
out of the portal. It's like two and out absent
in injury.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
I think that's it. I think the fact he got
injured kind of maybe he pushed this plan a little
faster along than they thought it was going to But
I think Drew said, this is a perfect scenario for
Cutter to kind of get your feet wet against a
team you should handle pretty easily. They threw me his
first start last year against Louisville. Half that team had
checked out by the time that game had even started. Well,
not kind of not fair to throw him into against Texas,
(19:59):
and then.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
The the first played against Texas.
Speaker 7 (20:02):
Yeah, no, no, no, they threw him in the swamp
without warming up. He stood up off the bench and
went through a pass in the swamp. Was So he's
done in the swamp at Texas and the Governor's Cup
have been his three auditions.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah, he's probably gonna be excited to see Eastern Michigan.
That's right. I didn't think about that. So his first
start last year was Louisville.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
Yeah, and you're right, half the team had probably quit.
So what do you expect to see from it? Like
when he actually gets in there, how do we what
do we think he's gonna do well.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Like you said, this is a perfect scenario because the
defense is not that strong. I think they're gonna put
move the chains a lot, put a lot of points
on the board, and I think it's just gonna not
only jump start the fan base, get them excited about
Cutter being a quarterback, but I think that locker room
needs that. I think they need that little excitement, little push,
and maybe maybe they play a little harder because Cutters
out there doing some good things.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Do you think you get Drew?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
Like some people who weren't sure whether or not to
make the drive Saturday, do they now make the drive
because Cutters there?
Speaker 7 (21:02):
I don't you know there's an excitement for Cutter. I
don't know if it's, honey, let's get in the car
and get to the Lexington excitement if you haven't already
played the Lexington, Yeah, get to the Lexington.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
I don't know if it's let's change our plans and
get to Kroger Field because Cutters starting. But there is
the fan base is excited and at least playing all
miss closed the night game coming up. Haven't had too
big of a disaster outside that first half. I think
you'll still get some decent tilgating just because it's the
first all day Saturday.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Yeah, I think it probably helps with it. So what success, Shannon?
I mean, see, you can't just be beating the Eastern Michigan.
People are gonna want to see them. I think I
want to even throw the ball. They're gonna want to
see him. Minsh like move like, what do you think
is success?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Well, the spread is twenty four and a half, just
to give you a gauge on that. So I think
if Kentucky were to cover that, that would be success.
I think that Kentucky is going to run the ball
a lot because Eastern Michigan has given up over six
hundred yards in the first two games this year so far.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I mean, I'm sure Cutter is gonna throw, but how
much is he going to throw? I think it's gonna
be a heavy running game against them. But here's my thing.
What if Cutter looks great against Eastern Michigan then starts
against South Carolina and does it look so great and
Kalasada is still available?
Speaker 4 (22:18):
What do you do the next game?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Then then you got that quarterback controversy all over again,
and you got to pick.
Speaker 5 (22:22):
I think let's assume that he's available, although I maybe
he's not well.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
He said he's available for this game.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Stoop said that, but then then somebody said he hadn't
cost all week, but he said, then.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
It's hard to go back to him. I think, I
think you can't just keep going back and forth. I
don't think that does either one of them, right right.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Yeah, you got to pick one.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
I think once you did, if Kalzonda is available and
you start Cutter, then you gotta play Cutter unless it
just doesn't work because because if I if you go
back to Calsonda, then Cutters, you lose Cutter, right, So
I yeah, yeah, once you make this decision, in my opinion,
you made it. If I'm nine twenty two eighty seven,
we'll take your calls very back.

More of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
Welcome back, Tukey Sports Radio. A five nine two eight
twenty two eighty seven. Text machine is seven seven two
seven seven four five two five four. I get a
lot of messages, so I'll answer a couple of these
before we go to the phones. One person rights, Matt, what
would you say by all the people on your side
who were cheering yesterday and saying that it was a
good thing. Well, the your side implies that there are
(23:34):
two sides of humanity in America and that one of them, uh,
the whatever, the one you believe, and the other one, whatever,
the one you don't believe, are constantly war. And I
just don't believe that's the case. Drew Franklin and Shannon,
and Ryan and Billy and Mario, I mean, just all
five of them. Let me use them as an example.
Like I care about these things. I follow politics on
(23:55):
a pretty regular basis. It's always great to be with
these five guys because they don't all five of them,
they don't. I'm not gonna say they don't care, but
I wouldn't say that their lives. I would say less
than five percent, maybe less than three percent, of all
five of their lives are really.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Following those kinds of things.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
They live their life for the things that they care about,
the things that they love, and that's what drives them.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
And they each have different beliefs.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Like if I were to put them on a political scale,
I'd probably put like Mario the farthest left.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
And right than Drew, then Ryan, then maybe Shannon, then.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
Billy, But for all five of them, I don't know
that they really drives them at all. And so you
know what I think. I think ninety nine percent of
Americans are like them.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I do.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
I think ninety nine percent of Americans are like them,
And then the one percent that are not like them
are online and are online disproportionately, and they drive all
of our discourse where ninety nine percent of people feel like,
that's not me. That's what I think. Now, Am I
one of the one percent? I'm not one of the
(25:06):
one percent screaming. I probably care about it a lot,
but it's driving me to be more like the ninety
nine percent because I don't want to spend my life
screaming at people.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
And I'm not.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
I'm not, but I do think it's worth remembering there
are more people like Mario, Billy, Byan, Shannon, and Drew.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Than there are everybody else.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
So I went that to me, is how I have
like comfort that things can be okay is because when
I see these dudes, that's not what they're talking about
we're making fun of Ryan for the various things he does,
and Mario's telling him he's inconsistent, and yeah, and Dolly Madison,
(25:49):
Like that's what life is for a lot of these folks.
So I think that's that's how most people are. I'm
here in New York. I was walking around last night.
There were tens of thousands of people on the street
and no one Shannon was talking about this.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
No one.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
They were living their lives. They were just doing whatever
they do.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
What most people here talking about is this is the
anniversary of nine to eleven. I'm staying at this moment's
five blocks from the World Trade Center, and I walked
by there yesterday.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
It was very powerful. I mean there's people everywhere, officers everywhere.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
I watched a group of pilots that were dressed in
pilot uniforms and they were putting up a memorial for
today's events for the pilots that were that died on
nine to eleven. Like, that's what people are talking about
today because I'm so.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Close literally to where the building is.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
But so that's how I kind of feel better about it,
is this is an awful thing, but people most people don't,
don't focus on it the way those of us that do,
or you all that do care to that strong degree.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Who's first shit?
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Let's start with Alex, Alex, go ahead, Alex.
Speaker 9 (27:04):
Hey, Matt, first time, long time?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Who.
Speaker 9 (27:07):
I was on a flight from Paris, France to Atlanta,
and to my astonishment, as I was walking in my seat,
I see Mark Pope in first class. Do you have
any clue on why he was there?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
He was France, he was going from where to where?
Speaker 9 (27:29):
From Paris, France to Atlanta? What was actually we never
actually got off the tarmac. This is on Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
No, Well, maybe a vacation, or maybe maybe he was
there to see a player.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I don't know. Why. Why do you think Drew he
would be in Paris.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
With Pope?
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Who knows?
Speaker 2 (27:49):
The man does not stop? Yes, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
I mean we know they've branched out in international recruiting. Also,
I don't think it's Paris. But one of his daughters
is over London. Maybe she's somewhere over there. I remember
when Kentucky was over there, or he was over recruiting,
he made a trip to see her. But I mean
it really with him, It could be anything.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I don't have any anything.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
My guess is that if he flew it was flying commercial,
it was probably a personal trip and he was there
for vacation or something like that.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Did you say hi to him?
Speaker 8 (28:20):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (28:21):
Yeah, of course I did. I shook his hands that
I'm happy he's the coach and happy with everything he's done.
And he was very kind. He asked for my name.
Seemed like a great guy. But actually funny enough, we
actually never ended up taking off on that plane. We
sat on the tarmac for three and a half hours.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
To ask him, Alex why he was embarrass I mean, yeah,
did you.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Not want to ask him?
Speaker 9 (28:45):
Well, I was going to my seat so like I
was just so like I had a line of people
behind me, and then afterwards I was I was just
in the back so like there was no chance I didn't.
I felt uncomfortable like going up there and bothering you
as we're dealing with like three and a half hour
to last.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Well, I understand, Well, I appreciate the call. Uh, you know,
everybody gets to have a life, Ryde. Some people need
to go to Paris. If if I was UK coach,
maybe you would do that.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
But you guys said I would not be shocked if
he's going over there to see a player. I mean,
you know, he just he picks up and he in
a minute, and I'll go drive somewhere, fly somewhere to
go see somebody, meet somebody, talk to somebody. Wouldn't shock
me if he flew to Paris came back the next day.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Who's up next, Jason.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Jason, go ahead, Jason.
Speaker 8 (29:29):
Hey Man, thanks for telling the call. Uh. I specifically
waited for the week we played Eastern Michigan. I asked
this question. I would call it another hindsight hypothetical. If
you remember I asked you about calif.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
You did k Yeah, So this.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
One goes a little farther back than even that one did.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
So.
Speaker 8 (29:50):
I was at the Eastern Michigan game back in twenty
nineteen when Terry Wilson got hurt. Yes, and you know
how you scrutinize all the mistakes and everything that was
made this past week and everything. I got back to
that game. At the time he got hurt, Kentucky was
up seventeen to three, but they had been at the
(30:12):
goal line and lost to fumble. There was lost one
touchdowns with a fumble going in and then they had
another one called back the cause the Behold, what do
you think if they had been up, had scored those
two times and been up thirty one to three, would
Terry Wilson have already been out of the game, and
you know, the backup been in there. We might have
had a completely different season that. I actually think that twenty.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I appreciate the calling healthy.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
Yeah, Drew, there was a there was a nine o'clock
KSR where someone said, and I didn't read it, I
just saw the headline.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
That I wrote it, so I could probably help. Okay, Yeah,
so talk about what you meant by that.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
Yeah, Well, Terry got hurt on that horse collar tackle
against Eastern Michigan. It was a flag nasty player hurt,
his knee goes off waving, and that was following the
Citrus bawl years Oops even said earlier this season talking
about Toledo, he was very optimistic about that twenty nineteen team.
Week two, Eastern Michigan. We lose Terry Wilson at the
very end of the third quarter for the season. Sawier
Smith comes in throws two touchdowns. But then two weeks later,
(31:13):
Sawer Smith gets hurt and that opened the door for
Lynn Boden. So the Eastern Michigan game kind of paved
the way for one of the seasons we'll remember forever
as a Kentucky fan because they are the ones that
injured Terry on a nasty horse collar.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
And the caller's right like that ended up being a
season we remember positively because of the Lynn Boden experience.
But Drew, I think people thought if Terry Wilson had
played the year, maybe we could have been really really
good again.
Speaker 7 (31:39):
Definitely, And even I mean I think, and I think
I know I wrote it, so I saw your's first
pass was a fifty four yard touchdown pass. Even when
he came in, we're like, all right, well let's just
keep this thing rolling. And then you get down to
Lynn and we throw our arms in the air like, oh,
season's over. But then Boden won six of eight, So yeah,
I mean, Terry might have was he gonna win seven eight?
So it's just it's a neat connecting Eastern Michigan to
(32:02):
how that special year, how it all started in this game,
how they had to go off script.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
And Eddie Grane doesn't get near enough credit for what
he did that year. Designed you know, everybody get ready
for Terry Wilson designed that offense, then he had to
design an offense for Sawyer Smith. Then he had to
completely change for a third time and design it for
Lynn Bowden.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
The Lynn Bowden games are just that's a wild thing
to think in hindsight, that we had a dude who
didn't even play quarterback and he won as many games
as he did. Who's next, Joe, Joe, go ahead, Joe.
Speaker 10 (32:31):
Quickly, Matt, have a great trip to South Africa. Uh,
the big question, all Wildcafe fans gone to her mind.
We got an open week after Eastern Michigan. Matt, as
you well know and everybody there know, we don't do
very good on an open week. I'm praying this is
the exception. This is the exception.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Matt.
Speaker 10 (32:49):
Have good vibes over your South Africa. I'm gonna have
a good vis back here in Lexington and Louisville, and
just prayed that somehow, if the wallcast could get a
roll victory against South Carolina and they quarterback is not
a problem. And Matt, you well though too, this cannot
turn into a quarterback controversy or just he will go
three and eight or three three and nine, So hopefully
(33:10):
have a great trip, and I praying in the open
week that somehow coach Ues finds a way to get
a victory against South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
I agree.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Listen, if we while I'm gone, we beat South Carolina,
I'll be in Athens for that game when I get back,
cause I think it'll be That would be an awesome,
awesome thing if we're able to do it.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
No Chay Linda Farms.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
I've been telling you about this beef forever and now
we use it in our burgers at Ksbar. I've gotten
so many compliments on the burgers, especially in the last
week and a half. People just keep telling me they're great. Well,
they're no Chase and the reason we're cooking them different,
but also the no Chay Linda Farms beef. They've done
an amazing job and you can get them at the bar.
You can also get them at home. No Cha Lindafarms
(33:50):
dot com.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
N O. C. H.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Elenda Farms dot Com, Kentucky Proud Beef right here in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
It's completely changed the taste and the way our burgers
work at the bar, and it can do it at
your home. Eight five nine, seven oh seven, seven thousand
and five, seven thousand and four, Steve Grissom place in order,
No cha Lindafarms dot com. If you haven't had them
telling you absolutely excellent, We'll take a break. Perry Backs,
Kentucky Sports Radio. I like this song, Shannon. So there's
(34:20):
the guy that sings with Blind Melon. Now does he
sound like this?
Speaker 3 (34:24):
I haven't really heard them live, but I'm playing this
because they're playing at Bourbon and Beyond Us later today.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
So I'll let you know. I guess whenever I talk.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
About let me know in October, i'll tell you.
Speaker 5 (34:33):
But I do wonder because this guy is a very
unique voice, right, like that sort of falsetto.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
I think that would be a hard voice to emulate.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
I don't even know that, yes, and I didn't even
know they were still a band, but they are.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
They'll be there.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
They have other songs besides this they do.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
I don't know that anybody who's not a Blind Melon
fan would know them.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
Yeah. I love this song though, although it's very sad
when you hear the words.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
No, that's how you don't pay attention to the words yeah,
you can't.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
This is what we talked about this about a couple
of years ago about this song. You can't listen to
the words. The words are really tragic, like she He's like,
I don't want to cry, Please stay with me, so
I don't cry.
Speaker 4 (35:10):
But he sounds so happy singing.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
But he sounds happy, right.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
I start to complain because there's no he's complaining because
there's no rain because he's so depressed.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
The rain makes it better for him.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
That's good stuff.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
Yeah, it's depressing though, if you said, don't think about it.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
But again, that's why I always say, if good music,
the word don't matter.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
The Margherita of Ill effect exactly, don't listen to the words.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
He's drunk in his house because no one's with him
and he's by himself and he's drinking Margarita's.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
That's it's not happy, but it sounds happy.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
Lamar Jackson Drew apologized said about the guy that he
that that hit him at the at the Bills Ravens game.
He apologized, said I shouldn't have hit him. But then
he said, but dude, just chill, which I thought was
kind of a funny. Come man, do you think he
should have apologized?
Speaker 7 (36:04):
Being Lamar and his status, I guess. Sure, it's a
good look to apologize, even though we didn't really need it.
We're all on your side. Lamar, the kid needed to
be shoved, probably should have shoved him again. He got
two licks on Ravens. Lamar should have gotten two on him.
Speaker 2 (36:18):
I liked that he goes though, Ryan, just chill. You
know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
I shouldn't hit I shouldn't hit you, but man, chill,
which I think that's a fair response. I don't think Lamar.
I mean, I guess you have to apologize, but I
don't really.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Think he did anything wrong. Dude hit him in the
hit and he didn't hit him. He just pushed him.
He didn't hit him in the head.
Speaker 6 (36:36):
So Lamar Jackson did absolutely nothing wrong. But it is
a good look for him to go ahead and apologize.
Then the NFL banned that guy now from every stadium
for life or something.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
Well, we talked about this on cover zero, which came
out last night, in which I'd love for you to download.
Drew and I did an episode. We had this conversation
because I don't know how they're able to do that,
Like how did they know?
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Shannon? Yeah, how do they know? Like if he puts
out a fake mustache, fake beard.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
How are they gonna know they're not?
Speaker 3 (37:04):
I mean, I mean they don't scan your ID when
you go into the game, so how would they know.
Speaker 5 (37:09):
And if you go into games, you know the people
working there, half of them do not care.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Half of them I think care too much.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
I've always wanted that there's there's you know, eighty thousand
people going in.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
How do you know?
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I don't think they know, Drew. I'm gonna go on
record and say they don't know.
Speaker 7 (37:23):
Yeah, I don't think they definitely don't know. Like if
you're that kid, I mean, those are good seats. You
just go back this week said somewhere. I mean, are
they gonna have pictures of them at every entrance? I
don't even know how you stop them from this Sunday
you can't. Maybe not the same exact seats, but I'm
gonna be looking at that seat I met more with
him having that seat for that game. He's probably got
a little access to find other tickets, a little probably
(37:44):
a little money there. So I mean, I would go
right back to the next home game because they're not
gonna do anything about it.
Speaker 5 (37:51):
If I'm nine two eight twenty two eighty seven, we
found out from Mark's story who did some investigative reporting Ryan,
that Lane Kiffen and his staff called Sterling Hot Yoga
in Lexington. All right, I've never done hot yoga in Lexington,
done in Louisville. Might have to go visit Sterling sometime.
Sterling Yoga and Lexington said we want a class on
(38:12):
game day. What's the earliest you can do it? And
they created a special class four Old Miss. The day
of the game, thirteen coaches at six point fifteen in
the morning went to Sterling Hot Yoga, took a class
and Lane Kiffin said it made them invigorated for the game.
Now here's my question, what are the chances the UK
(38:35):
staff would ever do that?
Speaker 2 (38:37):
Slim to zero?
Speaker 5 (38:40):
How many members of the UK staff do you think, Ryan, living,
when they go on the road to Columbia, we'll be
calling for a hot yoga studio before the game.
Speaker 6 (38:52):
I don't see any of them, No, but none of them.
Speaker 4 (38:56):
On game day it's six fifteen in the morning. You
couldn't see students doing downward dog.
Speaker 5 (39:00):
No.
Speaker 6 (39:01):
Well, Ole Miss came out of the gate down ten
to nothing. That's like they almost works in reverse.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Been used to they'd had the downward dog and they
knew how to flip it back up.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
They teach you that in.
Speaker 6 (39:11):
The class Cat Cow, Cat Cow.
Speaker 5 (39:13):
It is interesting though it goes and shows a little
bit drew about energy. Right like these guys, they're up early,
they're doing the six fifteen yoga.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
I mean, I don't know. It was a little o.
Speaker 5 (39:24):
The lane was a little sweaty. He had his shirt off,
but he was he was up.
Speaker 7 (39:29):
Doing his thing, and they're in operation that works. Maybe
we should get up at six am and just go
over the playbook. But I definitely can't imagine our coaching
staff doing hot yoga. Can you see Mark Stoops and
Eric Wolford and they're balancing each other up in the
air like Belichick and his girlfriend did whatever that.
Speaker 5 (39:47):
Movie is in the old days, Big Dog, you think
a little downward dog.
Speaker 6 (39:53):
He's sitting in the bench in the corner eating a
bag of the Cheetos.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
I would love to see Mark Stoops.
Speaker 5 (39:59):
I think our students and his staff should have to
get up and do hot yoga before one of these
road games to show kipping.
Speaker 11 (40:05):
Now.
Speaker 7 (40:06):
I got another problem with this, though, What are as
a community? Why are we facilitating the old miss coaching
staff getting them right for game day. That should have
been a find your own hot yoga. You're the away team.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
I'm okay with that. As a small business.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
Owner, money spends, you know what.
Speaker 5 (40:22):
And today, like the economy, if it's slowing down, you're
bringing me a coaching staff for us, and you say
to me, hey, can we get our coaching staff eat
at eight am? And we're already closed and it doesn't
call it. I'm like, yeah, you know Green's Green Share starting.
Speaker 4 (40:40):
Yeah, I would take it right.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
I bet they paid a premium for it too. Who's next,
Let's go to Jerry. Jerry, go ahead, Jerry.
Speaker 11 (40:48):
Hey Man. First off, prayers out to Charlie Kirk's family
prot those two little kids. And uh, I'm excited to
see Cutter get his chance to play and excited to
see him. But I hope they don't run the ball
too much. I hope they really take this chance to
really work on their passing game. And they're gonna have
to have that in these SEC games when these when
(41:08):
they play these really good defensive lines that you know
they're not gonna be able to run the balls much.
They're gonna have to be able to throw the ball,
and that these receivers have had issues getting open, they've
had some other issues and they really need to work
on that in this game.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
I agree with you. Actually, I appreciate the call.
Speaker 5 (41:23):
I mean, right, Shandon talks about how bad the Eastern
Michigan's been during the run. But in some reason, that's
the reason to pass in this game, because you know
you're gonna be able to run. I do think you
got to make sure you win, so you get up early,
and then I think you throw the ball some because
I think you're Jerry's exactly right. We're not gonna win
in the sec without being able to throw. Who's next?
Speaker 4 (41:41):
Uh, quickly, let's get a Doug.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Doug, I got about a minute quick.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
That's not quick.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
You know. It's like, can you hear me, Matt?
Speaker 11 (41:57):
Can you Matt?
Speaker 2 (41:59):
All right? I appreciate. Here's the thing. Here's the thing
like when.
Speaker 5 (42:03):
I have my my friend the Turkey Hunter always says,
do not say quick to people. It makes them less quick.
Immediately when you say a minute or quick, they get
less quick.
Speaker 2 (42:15):
He's probably right.
Speaker 5 (42:16):
Yeah, because it seems like that happens in a distroportional amount.
Speaker 2 (42:20):
We're gonna take a break. We come back. The arms
are back. We'll be right back.
