the rest of to day, so please please give us
a call eight five nine two two two eighty seven.
That's the Clark's Puppin Shop phone number. This show is sponsored,
as always by the TJ. Smith law Off. It's called

(01:18):
t J. Shannon. What's he do? He'll make them pay,
He'll make them pay. We've got the A Vision Glass
text machine. Well, I guess it's down in Dallas. Also, uh,
if you know my cell phone number, we'll use it
as the A Vision Glass text machine. Today. We'll have
our Whiskey Thief song today, which better be a Darius
Rutgers song today, Shannon.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
I'll see, by the way, that that video of Hooty
and the Blowfish covering a Stone Tipple Pilot song is
now resurfacing again. It's trending, and you and I on everything.
Every twenty minutes, I'm getting tagged on the same video,
so you don't have the tag us. We've seen it,
we know it exists. We knew it existed twenty five
years ago. Thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Though, Shannon and I get it about twenty twenty five
times a day.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
It's talk about sausages and how much it drives me crazy.
It's the same thing with those tweets.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Well, we've got a lot going on to wet. We've
got the got to follow up on the dairy queen gate. Yeah,
we have a follow up on that.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
We need two public apologies, yes from Mario, one from you.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
We have. We have good news about the KSR parlay.
We have homework we had last night we had to
fill out.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Did you I've done this show? I think my first
time on it was year one, just popping on, so
a decade of it. I think yesterday was the first
time I've been sting show prep twenty four hours in advance,
first time ever that I knew topics.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Uh, well, I had nothing to do yesterday, So I'm
going through the topics and Shannon, You'll be happy to know.
I've got a lot of good baseball topics to talk
about today. All right, So that's what we have on
the plate. But I think first thing we have to do,
we have to start with the John Caliperi tweets from yesterday.
Don't you think that's the way we need to start?
You agree, you're driving the car. I'm just riding shotgun here. Well,
I mean, I think because it took us all a

(02:53):
little by surprise, it just kind of seemed a little odd.
I think might be the best way to say it.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
Is that fair? Yeah, he was just he was He's
just in his fields, I think so.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
The first tweet he texted, texted, tweeted. Yesterday X posted
on this on the tweeter published what JT used to
call it the tweeter god rest JT was he was great.
John Caliperry says was in Lexington letting friends know of
our appreciation. Talked with Joe and Kelly Kraft about our
friendship and relationship. They were a part of our journey.

(03:26):
We are still friends. This seems a little odd to
put that, to put that out there, am I am?
I wrong?

Speaker 4 (03:34):
It was a little, a little weird and thinking a
little unexpected. I heard Cal was in town yesterday. I
actually had a long time friend run running him on
a dog walk really and they made small dog talk. Yes,
Cal a little bits, very friendly, So I knew he
was around Lexton. I saw that. I just I feel like,
maybe this is we never got a we got the video,
uh that when he was thinking about a job. The

(03:55):
next thing you know, he's there. This kind of felt
like a goodbye. This was a goodbye. I know that
there was his last trip to like, but knowing that
he's here, maybe he was. Maybe he made his rounds
said hide everyone, concluding Joe and Kelly.

Speaker 5 (04:06):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
But I just it felt like Cal was And like
I said, it just kind of just feels a little
bit when he when he fired that out.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Then he followed it up. Let me assure you all
that the fans nor the crafts were part of our decision.
Another voice was needed. That was in all caps. Another
voice was needed. I like and respect coach Pope. He
and his staff will have success. Great God. He said
that my memories are of fifteen great years, thanks to

(04:36):
all Coach Cal.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
That was. That was the goodbye. That was the thank you,
I'll miss you, kiss you on the cheek goodbye, wasn't it.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
I kind of picture him sending it with Lexington in
the review mirror, not driving. He's in the passenger. See
don't don't text and drive, but buckle up, put your
phone down. But you know, it's kind of like he's
seeing the Lexton life clad door closed for the last time.
I like that, he added, I like and respect coach
Pope said it'll have success. I think he's used another
voice line before. Yes, I repeated that the craft thing
feels a little forced. I mean, when I'm friends with someone,

(05:11):
I don't get on Twitter and announce that I'm friends
with them. But you know, there's much more to focus
on than just that. That part was a little weird.
But it did feel like Cols in his feels a
little bit leaving Lexington.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Shannon won't be your thoughts about.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
It, uh, sort of awkwardly worded maybe, But I think
this is just his way of maybe having a sense
of closure because it all just ended so abruptly. You know,
I didn't see it coming, you know, leaving for Kentucky
and going to Arkansas. He did that video. But I
felt like this is his way of sort of putting
a button on his time here at Kentucky with those
tweets and just providing a little bit of closure, at

(05:44):
least maybe in his mind, if not anyone else's.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah, I think I think Shannon nailed it. I think
in Cal's mind, and he's but a little bit of closure.
The first tweet I thought was very odd, y'all liked
your word forced almost.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Oh, there was two tweets mentioned the crafts. One would
have been fun.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yes, This second tweet I Reddit, and it almost made
me well, it did make me sad because this was
Cal saying goodbye to us after fifteen great years. He's
saying goodbye, and and I don't know this. I'm gonna
I'm gonna guess this, Dree. You may ninety percent of
the time those tweets that come from the coach Cal account,
he did not write. Somebody else wrote that for him.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Yeah, definitely, there's some funny stories about those. If you
want to go way back.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
In the day, we may have to do that today.
This one, I felt like it is coming from him.
This I don't know this one. I think I felt
like he wrote that definitely. I mean he even wrote
coach Klathian like. I don't know that he's ever He's
never done that.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
Yeah, I mean, maybe he typed it up in a
text and sent it someone that put this out, But no,
I fully suspect this is Cal, Yeah sending get it.
I mean it, Like I said, it's kind of the
way it's worded. It's a little jumbled, probably a little
emotional and uh, making it clear that there was no
beef there. He's got. This is saying goodbye to Cal,
but he also he's gonna be attached to UK forever.

(06:58):
We're gonna put him in the rafters one day. Yes,
doesn't want to leave with his fingers in the air.
I'm sure part of it is that.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Too, Shannon. Don't you think that was this was this
was straight from coach cow. This was not somebody writing
something for him.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah, you know, somebody asked him in his opening press
conference in Arkansas, coach, where you're going to change her
handle on Twitter? And he's like, what what does that mean?
Like he had no idea what that even meant. So
I tend to believe something along the lines of what
Drew just said. And maybe he said, I'm gonna text
this to whoever runs my Twitter account, copy and paste
it and tweet it out. But yeah, I don't know.

(07:33):
I don't even doubt he even knows how to log
into his Twitter account. Obviously doesn't know how to log
into the analytics program. So I don't know that that's
too far fetched to say he doesn't know how to
get into Twitter.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Ellen does. Ellen's very savvy on social media with her
Instagram account. Maybe she helped guide him through it.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
But I think he's capable of firing off a tweet.
I mean, he's not the most text savvy, but I
bet he can send a tweet.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
I am going to I'm gonna hang on the theory
that that is straight from him. He wrote that he's
sitting in he's well, he's probably been moved out, doesn't
even have a big lazy boy in he's living room anymore,
and wrote back of the car the way down.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Sleeping with ear plugs these days.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
But it did make me a little sad.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
It was like I thought, it was a nice touch.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
It was a nice touch. From the first tweet I
thought was what is this? That was very odd and awkward.
Second one, I thought, thank you. You know now we're
gonna beat your butt every time we play you. Thank you,
get out of town. Never gonna beat your butt.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
That sounds like the most important game in the history
of Kentucky basketball.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yesterday, And I'm gonna hang on that. I mean, I
had a lot of people support me on that that
Kentucky has to beat cal his first game back at Roup.
Kentucky has to win You can't let Cal come in
back in here and beat you. You just can't.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
I feel like you're very passionate about that.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
I am very passionate about it.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
You got accused of doing Cal radio, But I mean,
there was another col story yesterday while we're on the topic.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
That's a true story that.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
Came out of him living with Brad down there. Did
you see that.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Let's talk about that one. They're living in what a
little apartment, So it's a condo, I assume condo.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Yeah, it's like when I lived in an apartment in Lexa.
I bet they're doing all right in their condo, but
it's close to bars and he has to wear earplugs.
Is U karaoke's playing well?

Speaker 3 (09:08):
He said?

Speaker 4 (09:09):
The first that has to be hard on anyone, going
from what he has over there for four million, the
comfort of Lexington too. You're now in the bar district
of Fayetteville.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
He said, what Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, it was quiet, no problems.
Friday rode around and Bomboma and there's karaoke and everything
else going on down there.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
Yeah. That that also came out yesterday and kind of
there was some nice stuff in h However, you wanted
to interpret it. Some people saw shots at BBN, but
there was a CBS story with some quotes about Col.
But that was the most interesting part that came out
of it is the current living situation as he moves
over to the new headquarters.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah you don't think, you know, you don't really think
about that, even like what coach Pope, where's he living
right now? Why his family is still back in Utah.

Speaker 4 (09:48):
He could be in the same circumstance, the.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Exact same thing, living here in a one bedroom condo
that he doesn't staying very often and went to heat
up in about But Cal's the same thing, him and
Brad shocking up the have their father son and a
condo party, party palace and tell him they get their
house situation arrange.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Pope's wearing what he brought in the one suitcase from
Utah and then whenever UK they're giving him off whatever
gear they're giving him out of the team store. Right now,
he's the UK swag. He's living that same lifestyle and
likes and maybe just not next to karaoke.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
Well, Cal does seem to wear that same Arkansas pullover
and most of the videos I see of him, it's
that same red Arkansas pullover.

Speaker 4 (10:22):
I mean they're they're on the go. They gotta get
by with where they where, which I assume is straight
out of the team store.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Uh so do you you were okay with the fact,
Well you weren't. Didn't feels strong as Kentucky has to
win that game though when cal comes over here, No,
I just.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
Don't want to put that pressure on Pope for the
PLANETI I do. I mean as a fan, yeah, I'm
gonna win, but if they lose it, I'm gonna go
that stunk. But we still have a lot to accomplish.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
So let me ask you, Ryan, you say that Pope
had in Kentucky has to win that game, I would
then say back to you or what you think Kentucky
fans are just gonna run him out of like Xandentity
doesn't win that game, or when you say he has
to win in what if he doesn't.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
They won't, you know, run him out. But there'll be
some people think that have really upset, like how did
we let cow go? He's gonna beat us every year
we play. They're gonna win a national championship before we
do that kind of.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
Thing you talking about. To see told you crowd.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Yeah, see I told you stuff. Yeah, will get loud,
get very, very very loud.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
I think it depends on how the season's going up
to that point. You know, if they've won seven games
and we're already in the you know, uh conference schedule
and they're struggling, then you lose that game.

Speaker 6 (11:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
But if they have a great record and they lose
that game, I don't know that the crowd will be
that loud.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
I remember it, right.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
I don't know. We'll have to wait and see.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
The first time that Patino came back and played against Tubby.
That to me is one of that is the best
pregame environment I've ever been in at Roperina. It was unbelievable,
just that anticipation of him walking back into Rupperina and
then he's pulled a fast on everybody. He didn't come
out of the visitors tunnel. He came out of the

(11:59):
home tunnel when all the was down at the visitor Oh.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
I didn't know any of this my time. Yeah, I
wouldn't know what this experience will be like when it
comes up.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
All the media where they were all down at the
visitors entrance because he was coming in with Louisville and
he came through the home team entrance and surprised everybody. Yeah,
and the place just was just I'm telling you, man,
it was. That was the best pregame environment I've ever
seen for anything ever. And Tubby won the same thing.
When Patino came and played Cali Peri for the first time.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
I was at that one. That was one of my
favorite games. Caliperri won, and one with some some physicality,
we'll call it physicality.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
So I think the same thing. Pope's got a win.
You can't let cal come here in your home, in
your living room and beat you, beat you up a
little bit. You can't let that happen.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Yeah, I was. I wasn't around for the Patino come back.
I guess the only thing that would compare it Like
when Tubby came in, it was a celebration. Yeah, he
had high point. It wasn't really a rival. So I
look forward to that game. I guess football, we haven't
really did Joker come back as the Florida receivers coach.
I guess it's the closest thing I've had on.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
That in Yeah, but no, that nothing to that level,
for sure.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
No, it'ld be a big one. I didn't know the
Patino story coming out the other end.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
So we want to hear from you. Eight five nine
two eight oh two two eight seven. That is the
Clark's publishot phone number. Win a lot of calls today. Uh,
Shannon won't buzz you unless well, you know, Shannon, if
you want to buzz people today, you feel like just
in the middle.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Of a cost my own discretion, at your own discretion.
That Bill is really mean. I mean, you know, thirty seconds,
I have an excuse to buzz people if.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
It's not somebody. If you don't like somebody, after five seconds, Shannon,
you can buzz them today. Okay, we go for it.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
Give me a lot of give me a lot of
power over here.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
But we have a lot to celebrate because the KSR
parlay hit last night. Yes it was uh kind of
limped into the finish line, all right.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
We had we had people. When I posted the graphic,
people say an instant loss, You idiot, Why would you
pick this? The last I checked, we got more money
in our account right now than we did yesterday.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
I know the ks R parlay for only the second
time ever. I think it's hit hit. Come on, it's
more than I think. It's just too don't know, it's Shanon,
let's not let's.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Not bring numbers into it. Bottom of blah. The parlay hit.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
That's what we're not looking back.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
We're looking forward.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Picked the Calves to win last night and picked the
MAVs to win last night.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
We had the under which some people got it and
uh and hit all three I'll admit, and you were
the same. I think we're a push, yes, because the
original odds it we ended up being a push. But
you still get paid on that.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
If you I had to ask you that, you know,
because it says under to twelve, Well it hit to twelve.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
That's not necessarily under. It's how you just throw that
one out of the parlay. So our three teamer became
a two team here. It hurt your payout a little bit,
but you still probably got close to what three to
one ish.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
I guess I had idea just say eat it, draft Kings,
Eat it, Draft Kings. We won.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Well, well, the first time you've ever won, Ryan, and
you didn't bet punt.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
Actually, I want to give a person personal eat it
to the guy that said instant loss. Where's his name?

Speaker 3 (14:59):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (14:59):
It looks like you do.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Oh I deleted any tweet. Imagine that. Well, there we go.
All right, we'll take our break, come back, go back
to the phoneline eight five nine two eight oh two
two eight seven, Ryan, Drew and Shannon and Mario's got
to come and apologize to dairy queen. We come back.
You don't gonna take a sports radio. Is this the
Darius Rutger version?

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, I figure we could collectively you and I both
agree that this is the whiskey Thief song of the day.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Whiskey Thief Song today brought to you by Shannon the
Dude Darius Rucker singing Stone Tiple pilots. A great rendition, Shannon.
I don't know if you've ever heard it before, but
I think you'd really like.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
That first time I've ever heard it?

Speaker 4 (15:32):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (15:32):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (15:33):
About that first time I've seen it?

Speaker 3 (15:34):
In ten minutes before we go any further, we have, Uh,
you better do your birthday wishes. You're gonna get in
trouble when you get home.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
Oh yeah my wife?

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
Right, I'm just kidding. Of course, Happy birthday to Abby.
She's uh celebrating a unnumbered birthday today. We have a
big night planned, looking forward to hanging out all evening.
But uh, to everyone listening, I hope you will also
join me in wishing her happy birthday. Issues it work
now and I'm a meeter for lunch and start the
party from there?

Speaker 3 (16:02):
Can you talk about what you and we're going to Plankazi? Yeah,
and go ahead, fill out tell us the whole plan tonight.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
Well, we're going to Abraghazi taking her mom, my parents,
my sister flew in from out of town to go
to the comedy show. That one's been planned for a while.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
And where's that at. That's it rough?

Speaker 4 (16:20):
That's it rough? Yeah, then Arinko was thrown in our
plans that the John Legend concerts downtown, So also tonight
we are we are blessed to do the double.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Hitter, aren't they?

Speaker 4 (16:31):
At the same time, they're in the same building. I
have legs John Legends on the othersid they convince of
what centers center. I'm just gonna be across the hallway
and Raperena might have even asked around for specific times
on certain people performing at certain times, and yes, well,
I think we're gonna be able to attend both.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Shannon, are you coming to John Legend tonight too, right.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Planning on it. Yeah, that's the plan. How big of
a crowd are we looking at for this John Legend thing.
I'm just curious, like is it going to be like
thousands or couple?

Speaker 4 (17:04):
Absolutely nothing about the crowd? What to where?

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Yeah, that's what I'm wondering, Like we're just tie or.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
I mean, this is this is some some high company
we're gonna be with, Shannon, this is this is part
of the.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
So John Legends in one of the ballrooms at the
convention Center. Well, you can probably get a couple thousand
people in there.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
Yeah, oh no, I would expect they have a good crowd.
But you know it's the fundraiser for the Nil right,
the five hundred strong club, it's now five hundred and
two strong. Shannon and I get in there.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
But you know it's there. We've talked about it plenty.
They're raising all the money for UK football and I'm
sure it was a pretty expensive ticket. But we're blessed
to be invited as as radio people. So you're media,
were media.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
You're sneaking in from the Bergazi comedy show into the
John Legend concert.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
It's not sneaking in they said we could come. I'm
just walking across the hallway to the other event.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
I don't know about that, shann It sounds like a
little no.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
I mean, it's the wrong with that. I would just say.
I mean, you know, if your time it right, you
can do it where you leave in the between sets.
You know, like you don't want to get up and
leave went a comedian's midway through a set. But if
you do your time it out right, I think you
can make it and pull off the double header.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Are you staying through the end of Burgatzi before you leave?

Speaker 4 (18:09):
I won't miss a minute of Neighborurgatzi. We had planned
on this for a long time, My Terrence are going
this was the birthday President. We are not sacrificing Neahburgazi.
We're just very fortunate to have this predicament and we're
gonna hope for the best. Well.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Happy birthday to miss.

Speaker 4 (18:22):
Happy, Happy birthday to Happy.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
It's also former cat Day Kal Krawdis's birthday today. Yeah,
he's back in town right now to yeah, as he
starts his new career at Hawaii, So happy birthday to him.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
Oh I forgot, he's out at Hawaii.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
He's at Hawaii.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
Have we checked in on how Hawaii life is going.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
I think Hawaii life is very satisfying for young day kale.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
More athletes need to look into Hawaii. I've been saying
this forever. Yeah, these kids that know where they're going, Like,
I just need a few more hats for suspense. Why
are you putting Tennessee well whatever? Why are you putting
any of these team Just go to Hawaii? Hawaii, go
to Arizona State. Maybe I've never been heard good things, but.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
If you were limiting your schools, wouldn't want to take
one of your official visits to Hawaii.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
What's Pepperdine out there on the coat? Give me all
the schools with the scenery you were paying for me
to go on.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
Vac San Diego State.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
Yes.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
So, I don't know what's ahead for Dick Dekel. I'm
not really high on the rainbow depth chart and have
it checked on that lately. I hope he gets lots
of minutes. But good for him for making a move
to start a new chapter.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Shane. I also got to tell you one more thing
before we go to the phone lines.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
All right, what's up?

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Drew? And I did not tell each other. But we
have on the exact same shirts today.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Are they free shirts?

Speaker 3 (19:33):
Of course?

Speaker 2 (19:34):
I mean that's your entire wardrobe. I had, By the way,
a very good source tell me that you got socks,
brand new socks for Christmas, you just refuse to wear them.
Is that true?

Speaker 3 (19:46):
It is very true. And I have on a pair
of those new socks today.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
So the old ones away, you don't need the ones
that are discovering.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Just Wednesday, when we went to Valhalla, I just the
socks I pulled out of the drawer were not a
pair of the new ones. They were some old ones.
So I threw those away. I have on new ones
actually today.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Those do look a lot wider than the grayish blue ones.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
So I know who's who must have told you, Shang,
I know who bought me those socks, miss yoga girl.

Speaker 4 (20:11):
But did you go to the drawer and all the
old ones? Just toss them? You won't miss them?

Speaker 3 (20:15):
Okay, I'll do that, but I can't do that with
my T shirts.

Speaker 4 (20:18):
I understand T shirts a little different. Well, I even
have some. I can't party.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
We could wear a rugged old T shirt. It's kind
of the retro vintage look. You can't do that with socks.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
No, no socks when you just have your big toes
sticking out because the hole in the end, I'm thinking
it's not very vintage. It's time to move on.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
But Soul and Roses gave us these shirts yesterday. Shannon
Andrew and I both wore them today without telling each other.
We both got them on.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
What is it now, Soul and Roses.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
Soul and Roses, you have one too, We got one
for you also.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
What that is?

Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah, it's a clothing store that our buddy Steve Kaufman
opened at He's at the Family Mall.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, okay, kind of a.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
Christian themes store. He has hoodies and but I'm telling
you it's really poppular with the young kids, like Mario
wears it every day. Got it on right now, You've
got chants on today.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
If you go to like a local basketball game in Lexington,
it's gonna be everywhere everywhere. So now I feel like
I'm kind of hipping young like.

Speaker 3 (21:10):
Are we too old to wear it?

Speaker 5 (21:11):
Though?

Speaker 4 (21:12):
Probably? But that's okay. I think agees of mindset.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
So I'll just chalk that up to another thing that
I'll never get because are you off free stuff.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
And I think Matt took yours to give to you.
That's where I will never see that.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Never.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
Just Lass thought on the table, like is this mine?
I'm like, well, I have to wear it at least
once and get a picture in it and then you
can have it. So he's gonna take it from me.

Speaker 4 (21:34):

right now.

wanted to let the Big Blue Nation and you guys
know that the university is Kentucky back in the seventies
and eighties had a very successful wrestling program. They want
the A team championship in seventy six and seventy seven.
Joe Carr from Woodford County. I'm sure he's Prob'll be

(22:05):
familiar with him. Ryon, Yes, son, Jojoe four timer. He
was a three time SEC champion. We have so many
great wrestlers that come from that program that don't get
celebrated that should be in the Hall of fame. I
just wanted to put the Big Blue Nation on because
the wrestling sporting in the state of kentucky's growing, and
we need to let these guys know that, Hey, what
they've done is appreciated.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
Appreciate it, man. Yeah, we decorated our restaurant here for
the first time. A guy donated his UK wrestling memento.
He was the first ever SEC champion at UK. I'm
sorry I can't remember his name, but he had that
in a little frame, you know.

Speaker 5 (22:41):
So.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yeah, we never talked about the UK wrestling program ever,
not at all. Shannon's the only wrestler on this program.

like that, you should take advantage of it.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
Date night, date night, free day night, free date night.

Speaker 4 (24:04):

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Wife, the wife.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
Sorry, I got it.

Speaker 8 (24:50):
Uh So I'm I'm sitting here looking at the top
five available transfers in the portal. Still great Osboard's number one,
Fatkins number two, Chas Lanier's number three. Out of those three,
which do you guys think we can get the most?

Speaker 3 (25:08):
All right, appreciate the phone call. Well, there was a
time why they thought they had great Osa Bar. Now,
if you believe what people are saying online. His asking
price is now what one point five million? And I
think that's what cost him the deal with Kentucky when
they start saying, okay, yeah, we'll come here, but you
got to give us, if that's true, one point five million.

(25:28):
So they gotta feel like they weren't. They weren't great
shape with him at one point.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
Yeah, of the names he just said, chas Lanier, I
think is the most realistic. Yes, Entucky, because those conversations
are still going, He's on their list. I wanted great
osborn from the beginning. Ron and I both heard separately
that was gonna get done. I don't know this just
on the outside looking again, speculating a little. He and
Williams are so close. I have a picture of them.
I was already writing a story where they're on the

(25:55):
same high school team, even like faded it out vers
just two of them. They're a little bitty and it's
that that was kind of when Williams coming, They're just
gonna wait for Ousibor. Then maybe Ousibor realized I should
shot myself around a little bit. But we had weeks
where we thought that was a package deal because of
that connection. They were both gonna go to UK. Then Uh,
UK moved on, Like you said, maybe it was just
they had somebody ready to go that wasn't had such

(26:17):
the asking price. But that's a guy I was considered
would be a cat, and now it doesn't seem possible.
He's gonna be a good addition wherever he goes. But uh,
back to the original question, Chaslin. Here, I'm still watching.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Flew his parents over from England to tour the UK campus.
I mean, it was all set for to happen. And
then I.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
Even wrote an email to their little school in England,
like trying to find out who I could ask question. Really, yeah,
because I had this little picture. They're both tiny. I'm like, well,
this is cool or both gonna be cats across the
pond in the United States and then not so much.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
It is not only miss Abbey's birthday. It is also
Megan at Sulfur Creek. It's her birthday, and Brian, Brian,

the Gentleman's call regarding the wrestling program. I go to
most of the ASU matches and I see Fletcher car
a lot our old coach, great guy, And if you

like he can hit the match still today. Uh, He's
just he's an amazing person as well, So just let
me know.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
All right, appreciate it, Thank you for the phone call. Yeah,
the Woodford County was the wrestling king in Kentucky Fro
High School for years. Now it's Union County.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
Doug, you better put some respect on my neighbors out
there in western Kentucky. Union is where the wrestling goes down.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
And those twins they've got out there are national champions.
They're not state champions, they are national champions over there
in Union County.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
Massiville, we never really got into wrestling, remember we did,
They just didn't invite me because I couldn't wrestle. Did
you I have it in your area?

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Yeah? We had wrestling, high school wrestling, a.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
Little bit.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeahs' here Mario put these on here. So yesterday we
led the show with Dairy Queen gate, I will call it,
and it's a slight incident that happened to Darry Queen.
We stopped there because that's what that was Mary Mario's choice.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
First man's first road trip, first road trip.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
You get a pick where you want to go. You
picked Dairy Queen.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
Can I tell you why I picked?

Speaker 3 (30:32):
That's why you're here. So three choices, right, right?

Speaker 5 (30:34):
We had Subway, we had Wendy's, and we had Dairy Queen.
Subway wasn't in the move for it. That's okay, right,
that's okay, Wendy's. I would originally pick Wendy's. I just
didn't want to pick it because it was attached to
a gas station. I'm a really big I don't like
I'm not a big fan of having it.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
You know, you want to stand alone restaurant.

Speaker 5 (30:55):
I want to stand it. It just bugs me for some reason.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
I don't know why.

Speaker 5 (30:58):
It just bugs me.

Speaker 4 (30:59):
So you would hate well, where everything's in one place,
one one building.

Speaker 5 (31:02):
Probably, But Derreck Queen was then my first top choice,
and I always get coupons in the mail from dairy queen.
So I was like, you know, I'm gonna give them
a chance.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Because nobody goes there, please come here.

Speaker 5 (31:16):
But yeah, that was my original choice. And then when
we walked in, uh ten people were waiting in the lobby.
Uh didn't think too much of it at first, and
then we waited for about ten minutes, and then I
was like, I probably made the wrong choice here, but
let's just wait. Tell you what was the food good?
Let me ask you that.

Speaker 3 (31:33):
Food was good quick.

Speaker 4 (31:35):
I don't know what you are talking about. I wouln't fight.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
How was the drinks though?

Speaker 3 (31:38):
Ryan, Well, I didn't get my cherry diet coke. God
told me to go do it myself. Here, you do
it yourself, okay, but back me up, that dude, it
wasn't me. He was being extremely rude. Am I right?

Speaker 4 (31:51):
To me?

Speaker 3 (31:51):
What it looked like.

Speaker 5 (31:53):
The thing that killed me on that the whole situation
was the way how he pushed the cup. Yeah, push,
He pushed the cup over the counter to.

Speaker 3 (31:59):
You here, do it yourself.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
Do it yourself. I don't have time for it. I
don't know if you guys heard, did he did?

Speaker 3 (32:04):
He not say I don't have Oh did he say that?

Speaker 4 (32:07):
I don't know. I thought that's what I heard.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
Well, you may have. Well here's the follow up. That's
why I went to I don't know if you know this.
A representative of Dairy Queen heard our conversation yesterday, right
and reached out to ks R and said that they
discontinued cherry syrup a couple of years ago, three years ago.

Speaker 4 (32:31):
So maybe the guy working was right.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
But then he said, though a couple of people, what
do he say, go rogue and order it from Amazon
to have at their store. He did say that, but
then he went on to say, we're gonna take the
clip of you guys phone call and play it for
like our what he say, employee appreciation or employee something.

Speaker 4 (32:49):
How to handle this situation, how to handle situations.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
Training. So I felt like we were we helped Dairy
Queen yesterday, Mario, I think we did.

Speaker 5 (32:59):
I think we did. The food was great customer service,
but knowing that.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
They don't have it, do you feel bad for berating
this man about cherry syrup that didn't exist. Maybe he's
only been working there a year. In this concept of
cherry diet coke, never.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Even heard of it. I'll give him a little slack,
but he still I think could have been not just
with me, you saw high acting with everybody, everybody.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
I went to dairy Queen last night as a follow up,
and uh Abby, you know, birthday every queen, she got
a cherry dipped cone. And as they were dipping it
in the cherry, I just sat there in the car thinking,
this is too perfect a tub of cherry right here.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
And they had it, didn't They They had diet coke,
they had the ice cream that's probably the same cherry
syrup you could put in a diet code.

Speaker 4 (33:47):
And I went, I did a follow up experience and everything.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
Went well, it went well. Was it this dairy queen
on across the parking lot?

Speaker 4 (33:52):
No, it wasn't our neighbor. It was in election okay,
over by pull Onmo.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
So you had a overall better experience.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
Yeah, I just wanted to just see how dairy Queen's
doing over off. That was a one off. Had to
check back in with a follow up.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
They did all right, So Shannon, I think we need,
we need, We're gonna need to give Mary Mario a
love shot another chance.

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Yeah, next time, maybe you can pick the Zoli's like
me when I have a choice. So where we eat.
We're on a road trip. But I would have liked
to have just been there just to see the awkwardness.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
It was very awkward. Yeah, a lot of standoff.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
Yeah, they're just stared at each other. You make it, no,
you make it all right.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
We'll take our break, come back, go back to the
phone lines eight five nine two two two eight seven
eight five nine two eight O Cats, Ryan, Drew, mister
Dairy Queen and Shannon. We'll be right back. This is

(35:30):
Mortgage MLS A two five nine equal housing lender. All right,
I have a.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
Question about that. Yes, what would you say, is like
a good time to buy?

Speaker 3 (35:38):
Now is a great time to buy?

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Okay, But you know what, so when's the worst time
to buy?

Speaker 3 (35:41):
There is no worst time. It's always a good time
to buy, always, always, always, well, like right now is
the hot time spring buying season? Yea, like March, April, May, June.
That's when everything's happening.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Okay. What about summer Summer it.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
Slows down a little bit until school gets ready to start,
then it picks up again. Okay?

Speaker 2 (35:57):
What about fall?

Speaker 4 (35:58):
Fall?

Speaker 2 (35:58):
All fall buying season is high, so surely in the
dead of winter it's not a good time to buy.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
Well, I might have to agree with you right there,
but that's where you can sometimes get the best deals.
Oh you know people can't sell their house because it's
a slow buying season. Yeah, so they dropped their price. Boom,
jump on it, right there.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
Look at this a year round buying season.

uh just just must sail, you know, Big Blue Nation.
They they love, you know, Big Ja and them and
the you know, Cal was our coach for ten years.

(36:52):
I think that we have to give them an ovation
when they come in. But when the game starts, I
think it's game on. And I like to say, uh,
hope when by there.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
Go appreciate the phone call? Yeah, do you boo? Or
do you clap? What do you do when cow walks
into the interrupt on that first time?

Speaker 4 (37:14):
I don't agree with the ovation. He will get his
ovation one day. Game one. No, with Arkansas, people act
like they're not a rival. I hated Arkansas when I
was like six years old. We've hated Arkansas forever, so
we were already We're already hostile in that game anyway,
So that's not the time to give him his flowers. Flowers.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
They're a conference rival. Yes, you don't cheer for him,
do you?

Speaker 10 (37:35):
No?

Speaker 4 (37:37):

like Seawan Woods came in, John Pelfrey, some of these guys.
You get a they they Hi Hugby with high point,
you get an applause. Yes, you come in with the
head coach of the Louisville Cardinals or the Arkansas raising Backs.
You know you don't deserve it.

Speaker 4 (37:52):
No, you will get your applause one day. That that's
not the moment, Shannon.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
Did you know you're the wrestler that they have high
school girls wrestling in Kentucky?

Speaker 2 (38:01):
I was not aware of that, mean neither.

Speaker 3 (38:03):
I didn't know that they have high school girls wrestling
because Whitford County just sent me they had two state
champions over at Whitford County. How long has this been
going on? High school girls wrestling in Kentucky.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
I'm the wrong person to ask.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
You're the wrestler.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
I mean, yeah, but I don't wrestleman. Well, I do
wreussele women. Sometimes that's not true.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
You guys have ridiculous radio heavyweight championship belt.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
Well, I'm not gonna defend it against any of them,
but I have no idea how long that's been going on.

Speaker 4 (38:29):
You should be going around to schools talking to young
wrestlers about how to reach their dreams. What you did
to get to that platform, to put on your speedo.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Properly, all the matches I had to win to get
that title. I mean yeah, it's really an inspiring story.
If anybody wants to hear it one day, maybe I can,
you know, go around and do that.

Speaker 4 (38:48):
The high school tour a couple weeks ago, they had
their Esports Championships. I went a year ago to make
it last year. But that that's a pretty unique thing.
That's new. It was a lot of fun. It's different.
I know you have strong opinions, but that just happened.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
To the fact that they give it considered a KHS
A sanctioned event just cracks me up.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
You gotta have athletic fingers to do.

Speaker 3 (39:11):
That for five hours. All right, He's next thing, Sam, Sam,
go ahead, Sam.

Speaker 10 (39:20):
Hey, guys, thanks for having me. Phil Blest being on
here real quick. I just wanted to say, I've heard
you guys talk about it before, but I feel like
Pope's mindset, like coming into this season, like just coming
to the University of Kentucky, Like you just feel that
he's so ready, Like I was there and ruff Ana
when when he gave his speech, and I mean everything
he says is powerful, everything every move he makes is powerful.

(39:43):
He's ready to win and he's ready to commit to
this program. Also, I want to say, shouts and Drew.
I saw him a couple of weeks ago at the
Tennessee UK game. Great guy, Thanks for having me.

Speaker 3 (39:53):
Guys, I love it, appreciate it. Thank you very much.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
You're a great guy too.

Speaker 3 (39:57):
You know, Pope, you're if you had give him a
great since the moment he got the job, it's an
a plus. I mean he started with zero staff, zero roster,
and look where we are today.

Speaker 4 (40:08):
Yeah, there was a period I thought some of the
fan bases being a little insane when he was like
days and even having an assistant coach a pure questioning
the roster. Had to give the guy a little bit
of time to cook, and you know, he'll fill a
few more pieces and we'll make a final judgment of
the overall how it looks. Hopefully, He still adds, you
know one of these guys considering the NBA or Lanier
that we mentioned. Yeah, let's say what he has so far.

(40:30):
He's done an amazing job given the time frame and
what he had to work with.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
Shannon, there's a picture making his Major League Baseball debut
tomorrow for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Speaker 2 (40:40):
Ah, I'm a Pirates fan somewhat.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
Paul Schemes. Does that name mean anything to you, Paul Schemes?
He was the pitcher for LSU, that was the player
of the year last year, number one draft pick. Yeah,
and you know who his girlfriend is who Livvy done?

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Really? Okay?

Speaker 3 (40:59):
Yes, they are still a couple, mister and miss LSU.
I think that's why he gets more publicity because his
girlfriend is one of the most probably has the most
Instagram social media followers than any college athlete ever will
have ever.

Speaker 4 (41:13):
Yeah, she does very well on the apps.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
I wasn't sure of who he was, but when you
said her name, I definitely.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
Knew who exactly. So I think that's probably what the
most people realize that Paul skeans. I don't remember that
Livvy Done. Oh yeah, I know who that is.

Speaker 4 (41:27):
I remember Paul Skins from the postseason play last year
and the season he had at LSU. I think he's
going to be a problem in Major League Baseball. But
I bet the Livy that he's dating ads to that popularity.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
In one year, goes from pitching against the SEC pitching
against big league guys. In a year.

Speaker 4 (41:45):
He's good.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
He's good. Did you know who Paul Skins is? Did
you know who Livy Done is? Mario knew who Livy
Doune was. So he makes his major league debut tomorrow.
All right, we come back. We gave the guys some
We all have home, we all had homework assignments last night.
All right, we'll talk about that, got a lot more.
We'll take your calls as well. Eight five nine two
eight h two to eight seven. It's eight five nine
two eight oh catch. You can also hit us up
on the Av's and Glass text machine, which is my

(42:07):
cell phone number. Another Happy birthday, Chris. Chris Young the
postman calls in all the time. His birthday, Big May
tenth birthday for everybody. Were right back. This is Kentucky
Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Welcome to Hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by
Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
All right, Welcome back Hour number two Kentucky Sports Radio,
Ryan Lemon, Drew Franklin, Shannon the Dude. Matt is down
in Dallas, Texas where we just saw a picture of
Karen and her cap and gown? Is today the actual graduation?
I thought it was yesterday, I mean tomorrow, but maybe
the actual graduation is today.

Speaker 4 (42:43):
I mean he posted a picture of Larry all dressed
up in a suit next to Karen with her cap
and gown, so I guess it was today today.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
I mean, that's really cool, you know, to go back
to school after a great career and then get your
degree at seminary school. I mean, it speaks highly the
type of person Karen is, you know.

Speaker 4 (43:02):
And I liked that Larry had to get Matt to
his graduation. Now Matt's getting Larry to careen. Yeah, so
I'm very cool. We're happy for all of them, especially Karen.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
Congratulations. All right eight five nine two eight h two
two eight seven. That's our phone number. We all had
little homework last night yesterday. How did you even come up? Shannon?
We start talking about the White House Show yesterday.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
The caller asked us to name a moment throughout our
career where we had to act like we belonged some
more even though we probably didn't. And I said the
White House because we did not belong in the White House,
but there we were doing the show and your Mitch
McConnell impersonation almost got us in trouble, almost got us
kicked out.

Speaker 3 (43:41):
Well, if you guys remember that, I did not want
to do it, and you two were like, come on,
come on, you gotta do it. We're here in the
White House press room. You gotta do it. You gotta
do it. We waited till the last segment of the
show because I did it earlier they may kick us
out of there. So we didn't do it till the
very end.

Speaker 4 (43:55):
So let's not forget. They were about to start an
actual press conference and the room was full, and they
had even warned us, like you are gonna be done
at twelve right, So, I mean they were setting up
for some form of big announcement with everyone in there
from CNN, Fox, you name it, and you're doing your
McConnell maybe the loudest you could possibly.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
Get, really quiet in there, and then all of a sudden,
you here.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
I thought it was a good idea. In hindsight, it
was the wrong time to do it, because it was
it was full of all media and press waiting for
this news conference to start with whoever Summer Sanders, whoever
it was at that.

Speaker 4 (44:32):
Time, went to her office.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
Yeah, win office hung out fucking Arkansas basketball.

Speaker 4 (44:36):
Another fun one from that is because we played it
as a best of not too long ago, And normally
I don't listen to the best of Sirenium because I
hate my voice, but I was like, I gotta listen
to that White House Show. And there's a part of
it where someone mentions, can Lynn Boden play quarterback? And
I'm screaming, you idiots, Lynn Boden cannot play quarterback. This
is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. So hearing that back,

(44:56):
I enjoyed, uh my completely incorrect take. During that we
had to whisper. We tried to whisper that whole show,
and we're.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
Wearing coat and ties, very dressed up, very dressed up
for our trip to the White House.

Speaker 4 (45:08):
Kind of they let us wonder around more than we
probably should when we were looking for a spot. Oh yeah,
I remember, I was probably the biggest whimp of the bunch.
I wanted to go do it in some closet. We're
no one to hear us, and maybe Shannon's like, nope,
we're starting. We're doing it right here in the.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
Middle of them. Yeah. Got our pictures at the podium,
Shannon weapon, where the president stands and addresses the media. Yeah.
So so that that after we talked about that I
got home. That got me thinking about that was one
of my favorite shows of all time. So our homework
assignment was, what's our top five favorite shows we've ever done?

(45:41):
Not a pregame show, not a postgame show, KSR, only
shows our favorite ones. Dree, you go first.

Speaker 4 (45:50):
I struggled with an actual five. I just have several
written down because we're gonna have a bunch of crossovers.
I have more than five, but I'll just throw out
my first one. Okay, it's the Vegas Show, and I
know We've had many of those, but it's where your
picture the white shirt. None of us were feeling great.
None of us should have been on the radio, but
you especially had had a long evening. I remember you

(46:12):
taking one of the diet cokes out of the fridge.
It costs like and you just cracked it like, I
don't care how I need this diet.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
The night after, yeah, none of us, none of.

Speaker 4 (46:24):
Us were great, but you you took the crown. And
then I remember, for whatever reason, were you immediately getting
the car to drive on to LA. I think that
was the UCLA game. Yes, it was one of those
like shows over. We're in the car in ten minutes,
and Matt wanted to just listen to it again on
the way to call La where we were heading, and
we had just said these things two hours before, and

(46:44):
it was like you were listening.

Speaker 3 (46:46):
To it for the first time.

Speaker 4 (46:47):
You were hearing things that you had said that morning,
like huh, just acting surprised. So that one is up
there for me. I don't remember the exact content. I
just remember the condition everyone was in, and then you
not having recollection of two hours prior.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
Okay, that's one we're going to go on a round table.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
I don't want to just like there's something, well we
go to a round table.

Speaker 3 (47:06):
Okay, round table, All right, share you go next.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
One of my favorites. I don't know if we're gonna
rank these in order, but the Pennsylvania show that we did,
and we run this one on a best of a
lot of times. Not really sure exactly the city in Pennsylvania,
but it's the show that we spray painted your head black.
Not only because of that show, but because of everything
that followed throughout the day when you were walking around.
You didn't wash it off. We took that stuff that

(47:31):
was supposed to be what was that supposed to be
like hair dye that we sprayed on your bald spot.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
I don't know what it was, shoe polly shit, whatever
it was, but that was in Happy Valley. We were
at penn State.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
That's right, that's right, yep, and you were rubbing off
everywhere you went. You had I remember at one point
you bumped your head on the inside the interior of
the car and there was a big black spot from
your bald spot left up there on the inside of
the car. Then we went out for dinner that night,
you laid your head back against like a shelf behind
you or something in the big black the wall. You

(48:02):
left your You left your mark everywhere you went for
the rest of the day. And that was definitely one
of the hardest I have ever laughed. One of the
my favorite shows that we've done throughout the years.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
And then others from that. We're in that elevator, oh yeah,
and those four ladies behind me, they're all about my aides,
they're all dressed up, they're all going out. They just
start giggling and snickering because they're behind me and they
can see the black paint just dripping down my head.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
Yeah, because you know. Also, after the show, we walked
somewhere for lunch, and it was really hot that day, yes,
and you were sweating and the sweat was running down
your neck. So was the hair dye.

Speaker 4 (48:37):
This is why I didn't want to list online because
it was next on my list. It was okay, I
can say with confidence I've laughed a lot on this show.
That day is the hardest I've ever laughed. I couldn't breathe. Remember,
we were at lunch and I couldn't order. I was
still crying laughing an hour after the show had ended.
I laughed all day. I couldn't function, I couldn't have conversations.
I would just look at you and burst out laughing

(48:58):
because the stupid paint on your head.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
And you know what else after we were after we
did it on that porch, we're all just hyperventilating. We're laughing.
Matt took that call from the Little League World Series guy.

Speaker 4 (49:08):
Yeah, we're done at eleven fifty five. His phone rang
at eleven fifty six. Yes, I was still laughing, but
that seems like an important phone.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
I thought we were going to jail that day, I
legit thought when I heard the words Homeland Security.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
Yeah, Matt's do you really want to contact the homelands?
We're hearing this outside. You really want to contact Homeland
Security over an old man running the bases?

Speaker 4 (49:31):
Exactly what he said.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
Okay, I'm gonna my first one's going to be in
the middle of somewhere in Kansas. When Shannon dressed up
his door, thy God and did the whole show.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
No, that's not fair, though, that was a pregame show.
You said, no pregame show.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
That was a pregame show.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
Yes, that was a pregame show.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
Oh, I've got it on my list because because even
after the show, when you stood out on the side
of the street waving it, funking.

Speaker 4 (49:56):
Go by to Jike, I think some of those truckers
were excited to see.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
Here's exactly here's a dress I'm showing some leg I
thought maybe one of them would pull over for me.

Speaker 4 (50:08):
All right, what's next on your skip over? One that
I think Shannon will have. But in Iowa, which trip
to We've been in Iowa so many I guess it
was the Republican Yeah, it was the convention because I
think it was the day Yang was on when there
was a sewage issue and we had to pick up
the equipment and walk on ice. Yeah, and we're taking
like baby steps to keep from falling, and we're on

(50:29):
a train because it's it's all held together by cords.
We walked over to the coffee shop. Uh, that one's
up there for me because it's one of the most
absurd things we've ever done. Hey, just being in Iowa
at the convention, why were we there? That's that's silly.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
And and then.

Speaker 4 (50:44):
The smell of that place mid show, having to carry
our equipment down the street in ice.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
Covered in ice. Yeah, going down a wheelchair ramp was like,
Baby's Harry Iowa.

Speaker 4 (50:54):
That's just coming right now. But that just popped in
my head. So the Harry Perry Iowa show, which I
believe was Yanggang Day as well, is high on my list.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
All right, Channon, uh, I get another one that involves
your head all these.

Speaker 10 (51:10):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (51:11):
The other one I really liked was when you had
your hair transplant surgery and we sent Wu to the
office to try to give us the play by play
as you were getting the plugs, and he got kicked
out at one point, but just Wu trying to, you know,
as WU does in his own style, try to explain
to everybody what is happening behind closed doors as you're

(51:33):
getting this procedure done. That's one of the clips that
I have gone back and listened to, probably the most
out of all of our shows. So that's definitely on
the list.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
Do you do you have that clip? We may need
to replay that because I don't even know if I've
even heard it.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
I remember speaking about you as if you were like
an animated doll or something, because he's like, he blinks,
he speaks, he can move, he moves like the way
that he would talk about you, almost like you wrote
an object, not a human being.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
All right. My next one is the day we got
kicked out of the Peabody in Memphis. Yes, we set
up on the second floor. I whan the lobby was
at the first floor. We snuck up to the second
floor kind of in in a concourse area, didn't ask permission,
got halfway through the show, and here come those two
security guys walking towards us really slow, and they made

(52:24):
us leave live on the air. We had to pick
up the equipment, walked downstairs through a revolving door, across
the street into a restaurant, just sat down at a
table and tried to finish the show. That little sequence
is definitely the most bizarre sequence we've ever had.

Speaker 4 (52:43):
And then I'll add they felt bad for us, and
we got to do the duck mark. Yes, I still
have my duck cane at home as a little trophy
of the day. We did we wear top hats to
or just those leader had top hats.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
We got canes, Yeah, we got canes. We didn't have
the top hats, but we got to go upstairs all
the way to the roof where they kept the ducks
on the roof. Remember we took an elephantor we did
we took we took an elevator with ducks, and then
we had our grand entrance for everybody walking the ducks.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
And as job is so for many many years in
Wikipedia about the Peabody Hotel, it's still listed us being
duck masters, along with Oprah Winfrey and Hulk Hole again
and everybody else.

Speaker 4 (53:20):
Right now, I have a picture perfect memory of being
in that elevator with that man in the top hat
and just like twelve ducks in our feet. Where are
we doing?

Speaker 3 (53:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (53:29):
What is this show? All right?

Speaker 3 (53:31):
What's next on your list?

Speaker 4 (53:33):
Charles Ramsey and Eric se Cohn.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
Thirty? That was great.

Speaker 4 (53:38):
We've since learned some things about eric Se Khan that we,
you know, do not approve of. That is not a
good man. But that particular day where we did it
at his law office with the the Abraham Lincoln the
Lincoln Memorial repens and then Charles Ramsey was the guy.
I don't know if everybody remembers, but you know he'd
found some girls in Cleveland, a serious situation. He had

(53:58):
rescued him, but then like a song came him out
about him and McDonald's gave him endorsement for free Burgers
for life because in his interview he said something about McDonald's.
For some reason, we thought that was a person that
we wanted to talk to at Eric Secon's law office,
and we drove to Floyd County. And that's another where
I just as I'm saying it, I'm thinking, what in
the heck is this job? And while we were doing that,
But it was a very random day.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
That was just you and Matt because I remember listening
to that show and you could not quit listening. You
were you were just on the edge of your seat
waiting because Matt just kept getting more upset.

Speaker 4 (54:27):
Yeah, they were late. It was looking like, yeah, well
they might not be here till noon, and we're like, well,
we drove here for a show that ends at noon.

Speaker 3 (54:34):
And they show up at during the last segment, you
guys had one segment to talk to Charles Ramsey.

Speaker 4 (54:38):
It's just that property in itself. I saw behind the
Eric sea Con operation. There's a lot going on there.
Weird place, All right, Channon, We'll get another one.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
I mean, the more I think about, the more that's
not I have, like not even on my list that
I keep thinking of. I didn't have this one on
my list, but I mean, how can we not include
Katina Powell's show ks R with the you know, infamous
line to the ceiling. And I know you guys were
on location. I just remember sitting there in the studio
and in the talk studio normally where Matt would sit,

(55:07):
was all of like the people that were in the
building that were on sports talk radio on other stations,
just sitting there with headphones on listening. And I remember
when she said that line. I looked over and there's
Lachlin and Vanetti and I think Dave Jennings and maybe
two or three other people just trying to listen. When
she said that line. I remember Vinetti just jumping up
and going just waving his hands, no, no, no, don't

(55:29):
dump it, don't dump it. I'm like, I'm not gonna
dump that. I'm gonna let that go. And that ended
up probably being the most famous line ever uttered on
this show in the twelve or thirteen years we've been
doing this, So that's got to be on the list.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
And I think it's still our most listened to show,
if I'm not mistaken, right, that's I think it's still
number one. I was sitting there at that table when
Matt was talking to her, you could tell she was
not making that up. She was just speaking the truth
and telling stories that actually happened. That's what blew me away.
Here's the picture right there, Mario, Yeah, heard at that table.

(56:01):
I got a flight to Boston when that happened. I
landed and it had already having my phone had blown up.
I had to go back and listen to listen to
interview Winion Gabriel, new UK commit.

Speaker 4 (56:11):
Winion Gabriel traveled all the way to watch him in Boston.
I think he might have found out in the first half,
had like three points long trip to see what I got.

Speaker 3 (56:18):
One more the Republican Convention in Cleveland that week, you
just pick a show. We were as slap happy. That
may be our best week of shows we've ever done.
With Ray richardson Lazy Gentlemen and going to see a
kid rock concert and then standing on the floor when
they did the delegate count and all that stuff. That

(56:41):
that week of shows. I've never laughed as hard for
a whole week. I would put that week up against anything.

Speaker 4 (56:49):
I think we thrive in situations we don't belong in
yause we don't know what we're doing, so we have
to come up with dumb things like joining every state
as they announced their candidate.

Speaker 3 (56:58):
Do you have any more?

Speaker 4 (57:01):
I have some serious ones, but another silly one. I
don't want to butt in. I sure shit's on Shannon's list,
but I wanted to bring up Shannon's walk if Shannon
the floor, Oh yeah, well, you know that's one of
my favorites.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Yeah. I really wasn't on the show that much. I
mean really just I think for a segment, but I
enjoyed you and Matt uh and the poor lady that Jill, Yeah,
to carry the equipment the entire time as you guys
walked behind me.

Speaker 6 (57:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:27):
I don't know if I've ever actually gone back and
listened to that entire show.

Speaker 3 (57:31):
That's another one you could not quit listening. It was
I was in Hilton Head and we turned it on.
I could not quit listening to that show.

Speaker 4 (57:39):
I like that one because it's the first time we
did something that actually worked, and it's probably because we
had help. But I mean there were like live cameras
Jill during the equipment. Yeah, I mean Shannon completed the
walk and all over town. There'd be people in little
medians of waving. It felt like it was more about Shannon.
But that particular show I thought stood out too how
everything seemed to go off. I hate say without a hitch,

(58:02):
but it did go well on the technology end.

Speaker 2 (58:04):
It was like a fifty miles parade. I want to
have one more.

Speaker 3 (58:07):
Okay, I was not there.

Speaker 2 (58:08):
I think I was on vacation. But this is one
of my favorites. And again, one of the clips that
I've gone back and listened to the most out of
all of our shows is when you had your colonoscopy
and they brought you on and here, I think you
said this, if he wanted a cheeseburger for whatever reason,
so bad, that's all you had on your mind was

(58:30):
a cheeseburger. And then you told some sad story about
running over a kid's tombstone. It was remember that it
was really bizarre. Of course, you were still halfway under sedation,
but you being kind of loopy on the show was
one of the best segments I think we've ever done.

Speaker 3 (58:46):
You know, I think Matt told the nurse, we're about
to get off the air. He's got to come out,
and the nurse is like he's not ready, and match
like you got to bring you out. So I think
they brought you back with like the last segment of
the show, and I had not come out of the
anastigia yet.

Speaker 4 (59:01):
I'm just glad they were doing the procedure. You were
funny on that one. I've noticed in our rankings here, Ryan,
you're the main character, so I think, no, I'm gonna
give you piece advice. Next time you go to the
negotiation table, you should play this back and say, listen
to these best episodes and who who the star was,
and every single.

Speaker 3 (59:18):
They all make me look like sillier, a foolish Sure,
that's what you are, though immediately when we leave here
to go get achieved sounds so hammered. Hammered, all right,
that was fun going trip down memory lane for I
got a couple I wanted to add this series.

Speaker 4 (59:35):
Okay, yes they're not as fun as funny.

Speaker 3 (59:37):
Yeah, I had a serious times.

Speaker 4 (59:39):
We've actually done something with this platform other than just
like buffoons. For me, Dawson spring stands out and have
the connection to there. My grandfather helped that community forever.
Then they get hit with the tornado and being there
in an area I know very well, right, we did
the show, or we didn't do the show there because.

Speaker 3 (59:55):
Someone forgot the equipment another.

Speaker 4 (59:57):
Reason that was funny, but our intentions of doing the
show there and then the thing that followed afterwards, that
one meant lots to me personally.

Speaker 8 (01:00:03):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:00:03):
It's not for personal gains, but just being able to
this show and everyone listening was able to do something
for that community.

Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
That's why I've always said the West Liberty Tornado Show
is probably the show I'm the most proud of the
way that was the first time we had done anything
like that, raised a lot of money. You know, Cal
flew in on his helicopter and joined us on the show.
Rose helped organizing. You know, God rest her soul. That's
the show I'm the most proud of. Is that West
Liberty Tornado Show. Shannon, do you have one like that?

Speaker 4 (01:00:32):
While Shannon's going to his list, we're still there.

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
Shannon was, yeah, sorry, I was answering the phones.

Speaker 4 (01:00:35):
So button because I had that one written down to
and then Martin County. Yeah, with the water situation, yeah,
I just didn't know as much about going into it.
We learned a lot and hopefully did some good there.
They were already raising lots of money and getting water
in for them. But just the times we've been able
to actually do some good with this really stand out.

Speaker 3 (01:00:54):
Do you have one like that? Shannel?

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
We I think you guys really hit it there. I mean,
those are the two main ones that stand out for
me as far as just being proud of it. Yeah,
I mean, most of ours, like we said, are just goofiness,
but uh, but those two were definitely powerful shows.

Speaker 3 (01:01:07):
All Right, it was fun a little trip down memory
lane here on Friday. So we'll take our break, come back.
We'll go back to the phone line. A lot of
folks have been holding. We'll get to you. Eight five
nine two eight oh two two eight seven, Ryan, Drew
and Shannon. We'll be right back.
