Welcome to Hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio, present it
by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
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 3 (01:23):
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.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
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 of
the type of person Karen is, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
And I liked that Larry had to get Matt to
his graduation. Now Matt's getting Larry to Karen. Yeah, so
I'm very cool. We're happy for all of them, especially Karen.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Congratulations. All right, eight five nine two eight oh two too,
eight seven, that's our phone number. We all had a
little homework last night yesterday. How did it even come up?
And we started talking about the White House Show yesterday.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
The caller asked us to name a moment throughout our
career where we had to act like we belonged somewhere
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 1 (02:21):
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 3 (02:36):
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 (02:54):
Gets really quiet in there, and then all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
You're mat It was a good idea. In hindsight, it
was the wrong time to do because it was it
was full of all medium press waiting for this news
conference to start with whoever Summer Sanders, whoever it was
at that time, went to her office. Yeah, went office
Arkansas basketball.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
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 Bowden play quarterback? And
I'm screaming, you idiots, Lynn Bowden cannot play quarterback. This
is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. So hearing that back,
(03:37):
I enjoyed, uh my completely incorrect take. During that time, too.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
We had to whisper. We tried to whisper that whole show.
And we're wearing coat and ties, very dressed up, very
dressed up for our trip to the White House.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
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 where no
one to hear us, and maybe Shannon's like, nope, we're starting.
We're doing it right here in the middle of them.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah. Got our pictures at the podium, Shannon, where the
president stands and addresses the media. Yeah. So that that
after we talked about it 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? Not a pregame show,
(04:23):
not a postgame show. KSR, only shows our favorite ones. Dree,
you go first.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I struggled with an actual five. I just have several
written down because we 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 with 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
(04:52):
taking one of the diet cokes out of the fridge.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
It costs like twelve dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
And you just cracked it like I don't care, I
need this diet.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I had to the night after senior.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, none of us, none of us were great, but
you you took the crown. And then I remember, for
whatever reason, were 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. Yes, and Matt wanted to
just listen to it again on the way to call
La where we were heading, and we had just said
(05:24):
these things two hours before, and it was like you
were listening.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
To it for the first time.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
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 1 (05:41):
Okay, that's one.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
We're gonna go on a round table. I don't want
to just like there's something that well, we going to
a round table.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Okay, round table, All right, Shaan, you go next.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
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 the 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
(06:11):
that stuff that was supposed to be what was that
supposed to be, like hair dye that we sprayed on
your bald spot.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I don't know what it was, shoe poll shit, whatever
it was, but that was in Happy Valley. We were
at Penn State.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
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, Yeah, the wall. You left your You
(06:43):
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 1 (06:53):
And an 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 (07:06):
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 3 (07:17):
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
(07:39):
because that stupid paint on your head.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
And you know what else were after we did it
on that porch, We're all just hyperventilanting. We're laughing. Matt
took that call from the Little League World Series guy.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Yeah, we're done at eleven fifty five. His phone rang
at eleven fifty six. Yes, I was still laughing, but
that seemed like an important phone call.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I thought we were going to jail that day. I
legit thought, when I heard the words home Land Security, you.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
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 3 (08:11):
Exactly what he said.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
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 (08:22):
No, that's not fair, though that was a pregame show.
You said, no pregame show.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
That was a pregame show.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yes, that was a pregame show.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
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 funk truckers when they go
I was trying to hitch hike.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I think some of those truckers were excited to.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
See and here's exactly here's a dress I'm showing some
leg I thought maybe one of them would pull over
for me.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
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 to 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. I mean, we're taking
like baby steps to keep from falling, and we're on
(09:10):
a train because it's all held together by cords. We
walked over to the coffee shop. 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. And then the
smell of that place of mid show. Having to carry
our equipment down the street.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
In ice covered in ice, Yeah, going down a wheelchair
ramp was like Baby Perry Iowa.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
That's just coming right now. But that just popped in
my head. So the Perry Perry Iowa show, which I
believe was Yanggang day as well, is high on my list.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
All right, Channon, I get another one that involves your head.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
All these.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
The other one I really liked was when you had
your hair transplant surgery and we sent Wood to the
office to try to give us the play by play
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
(10:13):
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 1 (10:22):
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 (10:25):
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 1 (10:41):
All right. My next one is the day we got
kicked out of the Peabody in Memphis.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I had that on the list.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I have that. Yes, we set up on the second floor.
I mean the lobby was at the first floor. We
snuck up to the second floor. Kind of 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 us leave live on the air.
(11:06):
We had to pick up the equipment, walked downstairs through
a revolving door, across the street into a restaurant, just
setting down at a table, and tried to finish the show.
That little sequence is definitely the most bizarre sequence we've
ever had.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
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 too,
or just those leader had top hats.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You know 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 elevator,
we did, we took We took an elevator with ducks,
and then we had our grand entrance for everybody walking
the ducks and I jobbed.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
For many many years in Wikipedia about the Peabody Hotel,
It's still listed us being duck masters along with Oprah
Winfrey and Hulk Hogan and everybody else right.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
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. True are we doing? Yeah?
What is this show? All right?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
What's next on your list?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Charles Ramsey and Eric se Cohn.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Thirty? That was great.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
We've since learned some things about Eric Seakhn 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 replica, and then Charles Ramsey was the guy.
I don't know if everybody remembers, but you know he'd
found some girls in Cleveland, was a serious situation. He
(12:38):
had rescued him. But then like a song came 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 Sea Cohn'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 1 (12:59):
That was just you, 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 3 (13:08):
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.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Noon, and they show up at During the last segment,
you guys had one segment to talk to Charles Ramsey.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It's just that property in itself. I saw behind the
Eric c con operation. There's a lot going on there.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Weird place, all right, Channon, We'll get another one.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
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
(13:47):
was all of like that. 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
Lochlin and the and I think Dave Jennings and maybe
two or three other people just trying to listen. When
she said that line. I remember Vinnetti just jumping up
and going just waving his hands. No, no, no, don't
(14:09):
dump it, don't dump it. I'm like, I'm not gonna
dumb 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 that's got to be on the list.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
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. I was sitting 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, I've
heard that at that table. I got a flight to Boston.
(14:43):
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 the whole was going to
interview Winyon Gabriel, new UK commit. Winion Gabriel traveled all
the way to watch him in Boston.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I think he might have found out in the first half,
had like three points long trip.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
To see what I got. One more the Republican Convention
in Cleveland that week, just pick a show. We were
as slap happy. That may be our best week of
shows we've ever done. With Ray Richardson Lady and Gentlemen,
and going to see a kid rock concert and then
(15:17):
standing on the floor when they did the delegate count
and all that stuff. That that week of shows. I've
never laughed as hard for a whole week. I would
put that week up against anything.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I think we thrive in situations we don't belong in
because 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 1 (15:38):
Do you have any more?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
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 Yeah, well,
you know that's one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
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 and the poor lady that.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Jill.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yeah, that to carry the equipment the entire time as
you guys walked behind me.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I don't know if I've ever actually gone back and
listened to that entire show.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
That's another one you could not quit listening. It was
I was in Hiltonhead and we turned it on. I
could not quit listening to that show.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
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 carrying the equipment. Yeah, I mean, Shannon completed the
walk 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 to say without
(16:42):
a hitch, but it did go well. On the technology end.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
It was like a fifty mile parade. I want to
add one more. Okay, I was not there. 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 that brought
you on. And here I think you said this if
(17:06):
he wanted a cheeseburger for whatever reason, so bad, that's
all you had on your mind was 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. You know.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
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 Matt's like, you
got to bring you out. So I think they brought
you back for like the last segment of the show,
and I had not come out of the anesthesia yet.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I'm just glad they were doing with the procedure. You
were funny on that one. I've noticed in our rankings
here Ryan, you're the main character are so I think? No,
I'm going to give you a 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 1 (17:58):
But they all made me look like Sillier. Fully sure
that's what you are. Though, immediately when we leave here,
wed to go get achieved sounds so hammered. Hammered, all right,
that was fun going to trip down memory lane for
I got a couple I wanted to add the series.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Okay, yes, they're not as fun as funny.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, I had a serious times.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
We've actually done something with this platform other than just
like buffoons. For me, Dawson Spring stands out and have
the connection 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 someone forgot
got the equipment another reason that was funny, but our
intentions of doing the show there and then the thing
(18:41):
that followed afterwards. That one meant lots to me personally.
You know. 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 1 (18:49):
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 went 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 3 (19:12):
While Shannon's going to his list, we're still there, Shannon.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Was, Yeah, sorry, I was answering the phones, so I'll.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Butt in 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 1 (19:34):
Do you have one like that? Channel?
Speaker 4 (19:35):
We?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
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.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I mean most of ours, like we said, are just goofiness,
but those two were definitely powerful shows.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
All Right, that 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 eighth two two eight seven, Ryan, Drew and Shannon.
We'll be right back. Yeah, that was fun going down
memory lane with some of our favorite shows over the years. Uh,
A lot of you, a lot of laughing. I mean
that's like I said, we had some serious shows. But
(20:09):
the thing that I enjoyed it about this show so
much is just four of us just getting together and
just laughing, just four dudes for friends.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
And my favorite shows are when we are completely off topic,
usually at a random location while we don't know while
we're there, we've never been there before, and we're just
trying our best to uh to do a two hour radio.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
So Serge Pollack just walked in. He's a representative from Campbellsville,
heard us talking about memory Lane. He stopped in. He
wanted to get a picture, not with you and me, Mario.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Oh yeah, ran right up to Mario to Mario.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
To get a picture of him.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
We're getting pretty used to the Hey, Drew, will you
take a picture of me tomorrow? Yeah, I'll hold your
stuff and take your camera and take a picture of it.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
All right? Eight five nine two two two eight seven.
We got some folks have been holding who's upstanding.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Let's go to Peggy.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Peggy, go ahead, Peggy.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Hey, good morning, guys.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Morning Peggy. Yeah, we're talking about call coming back.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
I'm just I don't care how they.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Applaud for cal Or.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
I'm just worried about the former players.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
How they will treat the former players. Well, thank you, Peggy,
I appreciate it. That's something I think the best way
we summed it up. They'll go visit Coach Cal in Arkansas,
but their home is still going to be Kentucky. They
still come back home. Cal will retire in four or
five years, those players will still be coming back here
to Kentucky forever.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah. I think she might've been asking too, how will
treat like big Z coming back?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
All I thought she was talking about former I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
I'm interpreted another way maybe, but that's also so I
think fans will be. I think they have been mostly
positive about that.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Yeah, I think she's talking about the players that here
last year that are now at Kentucky Arkansas.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
I mean big Z can average fifty points a game
for Arkansas and he can pig Suey all he wants.
He will forever be the Kentucky Wildcat with the billboard
in the firstest, greatest first half of basketball ever.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
To me, I don't care what he called wish is there.
He's uk to me, and I think you know you will.
I can see him getting applause that first game, but
you don't applause cow, you don't big Z.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
The recruits probably not big Z do. I don't think
anyone has. I can't speak for the whole fan base,
but at least in my servile, I don't see any
animosity towards any of the players at all. Even when
you know, got Bradshaw Ohio State, I'll be rooting for him.
Jordan Burks just went up to Georgetown. Yeah, uh, DJ
will still be playing college basketball. I don't know that
anyone's you know, salty at any of those guys.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Get take another call. You want to take one real quick
or good? No or not chanting, We're up against it.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Let's just okay, let's get them, get them on the
other side of the spreak.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
All right, b T I has just posted a story
that we're going to discuss when we come back. It's
got some interesting topics. You know what was good when
he texted me this morning before the show said, Hey,
I'm getting I wrote a story that I think you
probably guys should discuss on KSR.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
So he likes to get people worked up. Yeah, So
it's one of those.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
One of those type of stories. Uh two two eighty seven,
One more quick story before we go. Family tried to
adopt a dog. They lived in Lexington, South Carolina. The
dog was actually in Lexington, Kentucky. They got online or
paid for it, arranged for it. They thought I was
in Lexton, South Carolina, had to come up here and
get at Lexton, Kentucky. But they did. That's why I
(23:19):
like this story. They drove up here to the dog
because they wanted that dog was in Lexton Humane society
up here.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
It's a better dog, better dog South Carolina.

Shannon the Dude, Matt Jones, Drew Franklin, and Ryan Lemon.
Still on the Wikipedia page. It should be very much.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
If I'm two two eight seven, who's next?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Shannon Talheed?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
What Talheed? Talheed?
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yes, sir, go ahead, Yo, What's yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
I'm I'm a big fan of you, University of Kentucky
and I heard he got a new a Kentucky and
and I'm I'm at coach.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Oh, you cut out. I wanted to hear his whole connection.
He said he was somewhere Yeah, no kidding, or a
field day at some elementary school at coach?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Was he saying it? Coach? Somethings?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I think he did say that, Well, maybe you'll call
back and call back.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
It's like yesterday the guy said Perry and uh no,
we're gonna remind him of and Shannon cut him off.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
All damn, that was his phone connected. That's that's on him.
I'm not going to take that responsibility for this.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Here's a couple of other people's favorite show, Shannon's scorecard
shows at the Caucus. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Those were the bed cast though, weren't they. They weren't
even the morning shows.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Oh you're right, I think we did do those saved
him for the podcast of those. Yeah. Uh. And then
one of the best shows is Ambient Matt Ambient.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Yeah, that one, even though it's so recent, is certainly
high on the list. With how ridiculous he was challenging
everyone here to race one by one.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I could beat you. I could beat you. I don't
know if I could beat you, but I could definitely
beat her.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Two two eight seven Clarks Poppa Chop phone number, Who's next?
Shannon Lance? Lance, Go ahead, Lance.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Hey, Ryan, guys, I kind of agree with you Ryan
on the hoe we gotta beat Arkansas comment yesterday because
just for the national for the media and the jokes
we need to win that one so we don't have
to hear it. And uh, if any of Pope's staff
or anybody's listening and you want to beat Caliperry, it's
(26:56):
not really hard. Just run a one to three to
one defense and we will play that game. And on
one more thing, I knew Matt Winn't let me get
away with saying this. It's so bad, But if we
played Arkansas, I want the entire front row to be
the ninety sixteen with their coach. I want Rick Patino
to be the why. And I want them to take
(27:16):
the names off the back of the jersey for that
one game and just put Wildcats across the back.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Appreciate it. I'm not I'm not against any of that.
You know, if they I know the SEC schedule makers
will put Arkansas at RUP this year. But if they
waited until twenty twenty six, that's the thirty year anniversary
of that ninety six team, that's the perfect time to
bring the team back. Patino maybe could come in if
(27:43):
they wait till twenty twenty six, but that that won't happen.
It'll happen next year. But I'm all for bringing the
ninety six team in letting them have front row seats.
I don't know if Pino's gonna do the why. I
don't know if we're ready for that yet, but I
think the time has come where he can be there.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Yeah, although he's got his own team. I mean midst
you know the year on true, it's hard to get
a or even midweek, hard to get a coach there.
I mean those all sound like fun things. I wouldn't
be opposed to them, but I agree with you that
it has That game has to be in Rugh next year.
You can't put it off a year.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
And I've heard somebody else talk about it. They need
to play in denim jerseys or denim shoes or something
that one game, whatever, the ninety six game, is this
year or next year playing and do you like that idea?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Or oh I'll be disappointed if they don't. At this point,
UK was really bad at throwback uniforms in a time
when that's very popular. I mean, yeah, I hate Louisville,
but if I could give them a compliment, all the
different uniforms and logos and fun they had with going
back to the past, they were good of that. Now
we did it maybe the first time a couple of
years ago when they went back to the ninety threes,
(28:43):
and then this past team even wore them a couple
of times. But I hope with Pope there now Nike
owns Converse figure it out. Yeah, there's gotta be a
way to bring those back for a game. I agree
for that throwback, and they'll sell a million of them.
I know people hated them at the time. I don't care.
That is a awesome memory from an awesome team in
ninety six. We got to see that team wearing the denims.
(29:03):
I want the shoes. Yes, remember those had the big
star on the side with the dinners. I want all
of it.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah. The baseball program has been good about doing different
uniform combinations over the years. Which by the way they
play their series with Florida starts today. Did they move
the game up for so it starts at one, Yes,
because of possible bad weather down there.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Yes, that's an important to note their schedule tonight for
six or whatever it usually is, but they moved it
up to it won't be long after we're done, so
you can listen to Okay Billy producing, you know, I'm.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Sure, yeah, you hear that on six thirty WLAP, they'll
stream the game.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
You know what that did to TV situation? I can
look that up. I don't know, but I know the
game was moved.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Up for weather. Somebody called in and said, this was
the first year for girls to have their own KHSAA
state championships in wrestling in Kentucky. So see, we learned
something new today. All right, hereo's next, Shannon.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Jeff, Jeff, go ahead, Jeff, go ahead, Jeff, Jeff.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I'm sorry, Ryan, Shannon Drew. This is the former radio
voice of the Wildcats. What's a Ralph Hacker?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Oh, Ralph, Ralph Hacker? Thought you were, Jeff going to
have your fake Ralph Hacker.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
I just wanted to call in today, guys, because, as
Ryan says, your leader.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Your big toe is away today.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
And you know, every time that Ralph Hacker calls the
radio program, well I never get to talk to you guys.
It's always just Matt taking over. So I wanted to
call in today. And of course, Drew, what's your wife happy?
A very happy birthday?
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Thank you. I'll pass that along to her.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
And you'll be celebrating one in about a month, won't
you drip?
Speaker 3 (30:37):
That is correct, it's a number. I don't want to
think about it, but it is coming up.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Is this the big number? Four out?
Speaker 3 (30:43):
They get closer and close.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Okay, but that's basically why I wanted to call it.
IM looking forward to you guys being around this summer
with Matt on his big European sojourn, and I'm gonna
be calling in a couple of weeks and wishing that
a very happy summer and hope he has a great vacation,
and I hope he doesn't have what happened to me
(31:06):
a couple of years, well five years ago, when I
went to France.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
So I'll be talking to.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Matt then, and good to hear you guys on the
radio today.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
So what happened in France?
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I can't leitch off like that, Come on, leaves hanging fake,
Ralph Hacker. What happened in France?
Speaker 5 (31:21):
It was a heat wave.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Let me just say that.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
It was a heat wave in the summer of twenty nineteen.
And I hope that Matt doesn't experience that because it
was so hot that Ralph Hacker couldn't take it.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Well, thank you, Ralph Hacker. We appreciate it, and I
look forward to hearing from you this summer to help
us get through some of these summer shows.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
I'll be talking with your riot.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
All right, appreciate it. Fake Ralph Hacker making an appearance.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Today, such a big star. He calls in as an alias.
He calls in as Jeff from Lexington.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Thank you for the double birthday.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Wish there yours an Abbey. I got another baseball story
for you, Shannon. All right, let's hear uh Otani's interpreter
finally has agreed to plead guilty to stealing like up
to seventeen million dollars prison for Sotoya Otani. Yeah, and
(32:14):
that has come out that he was paying off gambling debts,
seventeen million dollars he stole from his buddy. They're not
I thought just they're like buddies, they're like good friends.
Stole it from Otani. But now the all the conspiracy
theorists say he's taken the fall for Otani, that Otani
was really the gambler and the interpreter was taking the
(32:37):
fall and is now going to take the fall for him.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Well, if that's true, that's a really good friend. If
somebody's wanting to go to prison for you and take
the fall instead of him.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Yeah, I think the max can receive is like thirty
three years in prison. Oh my god for something like that.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Sorry, I love you guys, but I'm not going to
prison for you.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Count me among the people that don't believe that was
the guy.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Do you think it was Do you think it was Otani?
Speaker 3 (32:59):
The interpreter was betting seventeen million dollars? Years are gonna
tell me that with a straight face, that I was
supposed to believe the interpreter was betting seventeen million dollars.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
See, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
I don't know this interpreter. Maybe maybe he's very very
good at his job and he's able to bet seventeen
million dollars. But I find it hard to believe the
guy next to the mega rich guy was betting seventeen
million and not the mega rich guy.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Because what if, Shannon, What if Otani said, look, man,
you take the fall for me. I'll make sure your
family is taking care of for the rest of their life.
You may have to, you may have to go to
jail for twenty five years. I'm going to take care
of your family.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Oh I don't care. No, that's not good enough for me.
So you're telling me you'd be willing to go to
jail for something you didn't do just so your family
be taken care of. You'd be willing to go to
jail for twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
No, no, no, I wouldn't do it. But I'm like,
you know, I've got three kids. Or if he said, okay,
all three of your kids, I'll make sure they have
to get through college. You're doing that just fine life.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Not in jail. You're getting your kids through college as
it is.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Right, Well, I agree kids.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Your kids aren't suffering from because of your financial situation.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
I think it smells like duck poop, you know, I
think there's something there. But he is, I guess from
what I read yesterday, set to plead guilty for stealing
up to seventeen million dollars in faces up to thirty
three years in prison.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
I haven't stayed up to this is so tany like
mad at him?
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Do we?
Speaker 3 (34:20):
And we have O'tanni on record saying.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
I think he's he's his His statement is I forgive him?
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Yeah, because if he's being quiet and playing it cool,
then I even further believe it wasn't the interpreter because if.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
The gal legitimately stole all that money. He should be
pretty upset with him, but he doesn't seem to be exactly.
That's why the conspiracy theorist the interpreter was betting. Very interesting,
So something to keep an eye because eventually stuff comes out.
It maybe two or three years, but eventually it comes out.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
But you find out that Totani, I mean he's going
to be banned, right, I mean, if he's betting on
baseball's banned from baseball. Yeah, and Major League Baseball doesn't
want that to happen because he's the biggest star right right.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Listen, I'm wearing a brain right now. I think you
should already be banned, get him out of the NL.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
I totally agree with you. Yeah, but you know Major
League Baseball doesn't want that because of all the money
they're bringing in.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Because amen, that's why the conspiracy theorists think this dude's
taking the fall for o Tani and for Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
I need to see UH bank records of how mister
interpreter is betting seventeen million. If it's true that he's done,
that's crazy and I need to get into interpreting.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
I mean, I bet five dollars on the KSR parlay
last night on.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Draft Camp and I won.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
It's all five dollars. Interpreter should have been listening to us. Amen,
All right, we'll take our break. We'll come back. Final
segment eight five nine two aight oh two two eight

Speaker 1 (36:41):
I wrote a post that's on the on three KSR
website and we want to talk about before we get
out here. So what is it true?
Speaker 3 (36:48):
H He's trying to ask people which of these deals
they would make for the next basketball season.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
You have four You get on this one too, Mario.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Oh yeah, you have four options and you got to
pick one. I have not read these myself. Okay, we're
going to do this in real time. Number one swept
by Tennessee, but you beat Arkansas.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
You talk about basketball? Yes, all right?
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Number two finish outside the top three in the SEC,
but then you go win the SEC tournament. Number three
is you make the Elite eight, but you lose to
Louisville in the regular season. And number four is you
make the final four, but you lose to John Calipari
and Arkansas in the final four. Toughs why you all
(37:29):
think on this? I just want to say something, Bet.
I will occasionally just wake up and choose violence and
put something like this on the NFFT. And he does
a lot of good work. Sometimes it just fits in
with buts of news. But this one, you know, he's
he Both of you had like visible reactions to some
of those. Yess that third one third, y'all repeat him again.
We'll start at the beginning, swept by Tennessee, but you
beat Arkansas, so it doesn't really affect your postseason. You
(37:51):
just lose into the balls twice, UH finish outside the
top three in the regular season, but then you go
win in Nashville, win the SEC tournament. Number two three
was you make the Elite eight, but louis will beat
you in the regular season, and that's in Reparena this year.
And number four as you make the final four but
lose to Arkansas.
Speaker 6 (38:10):
That fourth one is not I can't go with the
fourth one for sure.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Poking the final four first year, first year to the
final four would be man since twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Yeah, if you get to the final four in your
first season, building the program from the ground up, I
don't care who you lose to. You shake their hand
and say, hey, we got a final four in our
first year and get ready for next year. I'm taking
the fourth option.
Speaker 6 (38:30):
It would be to Cal though.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Yeah, I can't take that. You're saying number four, I
got number four. Yeah, I'm I'm gonna go. I'm gonna
go with the SEC one because I think I can't.
I don't want to lose to Louisville RUP, I don't
want to lose Cal Perry, and I don't want to
get swept by Tennessee. So I'm going with the finish
outside the top three in the SEC, but win the
(38:52):
SEC tournament. That's the one I'm going with.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
I'm leading that direction because in that scenario, you can
lose a lot of games or in the regular season
the SEC. Yes, figure it out, you're not in the
top three, but you're feeling good. You go win all
those games in Nashville and we don't have a there's
no story written for our tournament here that we could
win the whole thing. All all these had postseason losses
at certain price, So I think I like that one
actually to be different. I'll take the swept by Tennessee
(39:17):
but beat Arkansas. I hate losing to Tennessee, but that
assures me John Caliperry is catching an l and it
means the postseason's wide open. Yeah, I'm not limiting you, Drew.
Speaker 6 (39:28):
I'm going with you on that. The first one you're
talking about where we we swept by Tennessee, swept by Tennessee,
beat Arkansas doesn't say anything about the postseason, so that
to your point, I'm going with the first one.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
We make the postseason. In that scenario, though, we.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Could win the championship. Good and we've been We've feel
like we've split with Tennessee a lot lately. We've lost
to them plenty, what's twice in one year? In post
first season, we'll get them on down the road. That
gets us the Arkansas win, and then I think we
win both tournaments.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Shannon, you gotta pick one dead option four.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
To the final four in his first season again, starting
with new staff, all new roster. That's a hell of
an accomplishment, and you gotta feel good about your future
moving forward. If you make it to the final four
in his first year, I don't hate it.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
I don't hate that either, but I can't lose the
cow right those against everything.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Today When you get to the final four, I don't
think it matters that you lose.
Speaker 6 (40:21):
Does he lose to on that big stage like attitude?
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Though cal might throw the latter at us if he
were to win the title over there at the arena.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Tough good good article posted up now on three KSR
website right now, right, it came up the second hour.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
Yeah, I'll take scenario if we just win as many
games as possible.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
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 3 (01:23):
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.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
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 of
the type of person Karen is, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
And I liked that Larry had to get Matt to
his graduation. Now Matt's getting Larry to Karen. Yeah, so
I'm very cool. We're happy for all of them, especially Karen.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Congratulations. All right, eight five nine two eight oh two too,
eight seven, that's our phone number. We all had a
little homework last night yesterday. How did it even come up?
And we started talking about the White House Show yesterday.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
The caller asked us to name a moment throughout our
career where we had to act like we belonged somewhere
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 1 (02:21):
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 3 (02:36):
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 (02:54):
Gets really quiet in there, and then all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
You're mat It was a good idea. In hindsight, it
was the wrong time to do because it was it
was full of all medium press waiting for this news
conference to start with whoever Summer Sanders, whoever it was
at that time, went to her office. Yeah, went office
Arkansas basketball.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
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 Bowden play quarterback? And
I'm screaming, you idiots, Lynn Bowden cannot play quarterback. This
is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. So hearing that back,
(03:37):
I enjoyed, uh my completely incorrect take. During that time, too.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
We had to whisper. We tried to whisper that whole show.
And we're wearing coat and ties, very dressed up, very
dressed up for our trip to the White House.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
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 where no
one to hear us, and maybe Shannon's like, nope, we're starting.
We're doing it right here in the middle of them.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah. Got our pictures at the podium, Shannon, where the
president stands and addresses the media. Yeah. So that that
after we talked about it 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? Not a pregame show,
(04:23):
not a postgame show. KSR, only shows our favorite ones. Dree,
you go first.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
I struggled with an actual five. I just have several
written down because we 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 with 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
(04:52):
taking one of the diet cokes out of the fridge.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
It costs like twelve dollars.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
And you just cracked it like I don't care, I
need this diet.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I had to the night after senior.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, none of us, none of us were great, but
you you took the crown. And then I remember, for
whatever reason, were 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. Yes, and Matt wanted to
just listen to it again on the way to call
La where we were heading, and we had just said
(05:24):
these things two hours before, and it was like you
were listening.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
To it for the first time.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
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 1 (05:41):
Okay, that's one.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
We're gonna go on a round table. I don't want
to just like there's something that well, we going to
a round table.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Okay, round table, All right, Shaan, you go next.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
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 the 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
(06:11):
that stuff that was supposed to be what was that
supposed to be, like hair dye that we sprayed on
your bald spot.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I don't know what it was, shoe poll shit, whatever
it was, but that was in Happy Valley. We were
at Penn State.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
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, Yeah, the wall. You left your You
(06:43):
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 1 (06:53):
And an 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 (07:06):
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 3 (07:17):
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
(07:39):
because that stupid paint on your head.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
And you know what else were after we did it
on that porch, We're all just hyperventilanting. We're laughing. Matt
took that call from the Little League World Series guy.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Yeah, we're done at eleven fifty five. His phone rang
at eleven fifty six. Yes, I was still laughing, but
that seemed like an important phone call.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I thought we were going to jail that day. I
legit thought, when I heard the words home Land Security, you.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
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 3 (08:11):
Exactly what he said.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
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 (08:22):
No, that's not fair, though that was a pregame show.
You said, no pregame show.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
That was a pregame show.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yes, that was a pregame show.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
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 funk truckers when they go
I was trying to hitch hike.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I think some of those truckers were excited to.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
See and here's exactly here's a dress I'm showing some
leg I thought maybe one of them would pull over
for me.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
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 to 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. I mean, we're taking
like baby steps to keep from falling, and we're on
(09:10):
a train because it's all held together by cords. We
walked over to the coffee shop. 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. And then the
smell of that place of mid show. Having to carry
our equipment down the street.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
In ice covered in ice, Yeah, going down a wheelchair
ramp was like Baby Perry Iowa.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
That's just coming right now. But that just popped in
my head. So the Perry Perry Iowa show, which I
believe was Yanggang day as well, is high on my list.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
All right, Channon, I get another one that involves your head.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
All these.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
The other one I really liked was when you had
your hair transplant surgery and we sent Wood to the
office to try to give us the play by play
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
(10:13):
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 1 (10:22):
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 (10:25):
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 1 (10:41):
All right. My next one is the day we got
kicked out of the Peabody in Memphis.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
I had that on the list.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I have that. Yes, we set up on the second floor.
I mean the lobby was at the first floor. We
snuck up to the second floor. Kind of 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 us leave live on the air.
(11:06):
We had to pick up the equipment, walked downstairs through
a revolving door, across the street into a restaurant, just
setting down at a table, and tried to finish the show.
That little sequence is definitely the most bizarre sequence we've
ever had.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
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 too,
or just those leader had top hats.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You know 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 elevator,
we did, we took We took an elevator with ducks,
and then we had our grand entrance for everybody walking
the ducks and I jobbed.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
For many many years in Wikipedia about the Peabody Hotel,
It's still listed us being duck masters along with Oprah
Winfrey and Hulk Hogan and everybody else right.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
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. True are we doing? Yeah?
What is this show? All right?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
What's next on your list?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Charles Ramsey and Eric se Cohn.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Thirty? That was great.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
We've since learned some things about Eric Seakhn 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 replica, and then Charles Ramsey was the guy.
I don't know if everybody remembers, but you know he'd
found some girls in Cleveland, was a serious situation. He
(12:38):
had rescued him. But then like a song came 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 Sea Cohn'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 1 (12:59):
That was just you, 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 3 (13:08):
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.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Noon, and they show up at During the last segment,
you guys had one segment to talk to Charles Ramsey.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It's just that property in itself. I saw behind the
Eric c con operation. There's a lot going on there.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Weird place, all right, Channon, We'll get another one.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
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
(13:47):
was all of like that. 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
Lochlin and the and I think Dave Jennings and maybe
two or three other people just trying to listen. When
she said that line. I remember Vinnetti just jumping up
and going just waving his hands. No, no, no, don't
(14:09):
dump it, don't dump it. I'm like, I'm not gonna
dumb 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 that's got to be on the list.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
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. I was sitting 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, I've
heard that at that table. I got a flight to Boston.
(14:43):
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 the whole was going to
interview Winyon Gabriel, new UK commit. Winion Gabriel traveled all
the way to watch him in Boston.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I think he might have found out in the first half,
had like three points long trip.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
To see what I got. One more the Republican Convention
in Cleveland that week, just pick a show. We were
as slap happy. That may be our best week of
shows we've ever done. With Ray Richardson Lady and Gentlemen,
and going to see a kid rock concert and then
(15:17):
standing on the floor when they did the delegate count
and all that stuff. That that week of shows. I've
never laughed as hard for a whole week. I would
put that week up against anything.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
I think we thrive in situations we don't belong in
because 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 1 (15:38):
Do you have any more?
Speaker 3 (15:41):
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 Yeah, well,
you know that's one of my favorites.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
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 and the poor lady that.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Jill.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yeah, that to carry the equipment the entire time as
you guys walked behind me.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I don't know if I've ever actually gone back and
listened to that entire show.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
That's another one you could not quit listening. It was
I was in Hiltonhead and we turned it on. I
could not quit listening to that show.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
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 carrying the equipment. Yeah, I mean, Shannon completed the
walk 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 to say without
(16:42):
a hitch, but it did go well. On the technology end.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
It was like a fifty mile parade. I want to
add one more. Okay, I was not there. 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 that brought
you on. And here I think you said this if
(17:06):
he wanted a cheeseburger for whatever reason, so bad, that's
all you had on your mind was 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. You know.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
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 Matt's like, you
got to bring you out. So I think they brought
you back for like the last segment of the show,
and I had not come out of the anesthesia yet.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
I'm just glad they were doing with the procedure. You
were funny on that one. I've noticed in our rankings
here Ryan, you're the main character are so I think? No,
I'm going to give you a 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 1 (17:58):
But they all made me look like Sillier. Fully sure
that's what you are. Though, immediately when we leave here,
wed to go get achieved sounds so hammered. Hammered, all right,
that was fun going to trip down memory lane for
I got a couple I wanted to add the series.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Okay, yes, they're not as fun as funny.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, I had a serious times.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
We've actually done something with this platform other than just
like buffoons. For me, Dawson Spring stands out and have
the connection 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 someone forgot
got the equipment another reason that was funny, but our
intentions of doing the show there and then the thing
(18:41):
that followed afterwards. That one meant lots to me personally.
You know. 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 1 (18:49):
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 went 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 3 (19:12):
While Shannon's going to his list, we're still there, Shannon.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Was, Yeah, sorry, I was answering the phones, so I'll.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Butt in 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 1 (19:34):
Do you have one like that? Channel?
Speaker 4 (19:35):
We?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
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.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I mean most of ours, like we said, are just goofiness,
but those two were definitely powerful shows.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
All Right, that 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 eighth two two eight seven, Ryan, Drew and Shannon.
We'll be right back. Yeah, that was fun going down
memory lane with some of our favorite shows over the years. Uh,
A lot of you, a lot of laughing. I mean
that's like I said, we had some serious shows. But
(20:09):
the thing that I enjoyed it about this show so
much is just four of us just getting together and
just laughing, just four dudes for friends.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
And my favorite shows are when we are completely off topic,
usually at a random location while we don't know while
we're there, we've never been there before, and we're just
trying our best to uh to do a two hour radio.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
So Serge Pollack just walked in. He's a representative from Campbellsville,
heard us talking about memory Lane. He stopped in. He
wanted to get a picture, not with you and me, Mario.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Oh yeah, ran right up to Mario to Mario.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
To get a picture of him.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
We're getting pretty used to the Hey, Drew, will you
take a picture of me tomorrow? Yeah, I'll hold your
stuff and take your camera and take a picture of it.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
All right? Eight five nine two two two eight seven.
We got some folks have been holding who's upstanding.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Let's go to Peggy.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Peggy, go ahead, Peggy.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Hey, good morning, guys.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
Morning Peggy. Yeah, we're talking about call coming back.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
I'm just I don't care how they.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Applaud for cal Or.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
I'm just worried about the former players.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
How they will treat the former players. Well, thank you, Peggy,
I appreciate it. That's something I think the best way
we summed it up. They'll go visit Coach Cal in Arkansas,
but their home is still going to be Kentucky. They
still come back home. Cal will retire in four or
five years, those players will still be coming back here
to Kentucky forever.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah. I think she might've been asking too, how will
treat like big Z coming back?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
All I thought she was talking about former I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
I'm interpreted another way maybe, but that's also so I
think fans will be. I think they have been mostly
positive about that.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Yeah, I think she's talking about the players that here
last year that are now at Kentucky Arkansas.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
I mean big Z can average fifty points a game
for Arkansas and he can pig Suey all he wants.
He will forever be the Kentucky Wildcat with the billboard
in the firstest, greatest first half of basketball ever.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
To me, I don't care what he called wish is there.
He's uk to me, and I think you know you will.
I can see him getting applause that first game, but
you don't applause cow, you don't big Z.
Speaker 3 (22:10):
The recruits probably not big Z do. I don't think
anyone has. I can't speak for the whole fan base,
but at least in my servile, I don't see any
animosity towards any of the players at all. Even when
you know, got Bradshaw Ohio State, I'll be rooting for him.
Jordan Burks just went up to Georgetown. Yeah, uh, DJ
will still be playing college basketball. I don't know that
anyone's you know, salty at any of those guys.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Get take another call. You want to take one real quick
or good? No or not chanting, We're up against it.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Let's just okay, let's get them, get them on the
other side of the spreak.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
All right, b T I has just posted a story
that we're going to discuss when we come back. It's
got some interesting topics. You know what was good when
he texted me this morning before the show said, Hey,
I'm getting I wrote a story that I think you
probably guys should discuss on KSR.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
So he likes to get people worked up. Yeah, So
it's one of those.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
One of those type of stories. Uh two two eighty seven,
One more quick story before we go. Family tried to
adopt a dog. They lived in Lexington, South Carolina. The
dog was actually in Lexington, Kentucky. They got online or
paid for it, arranged for it. They thought I was
in Lexton, South Carolina, had to come up here and
get at Lexton, Kentucky. But they did. That's why I
(23:19):
like this story. They drove up here to the dog
because they wanted that dog was in Lexton Humane society
up here.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
It's a better dog, better dog South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (23:26):

Speaker 3 (25:02):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
If I'm two two eight seven, who's next?
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Shannon Talheed?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
What Talheed? Talheed?
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yes, sir, go ahead, Yo, What's yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
I'm I'm a big fan of you, University of Kentucky
and I heard he got a new a Kentucky and
and I'm I'm at coach.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Oh, you cut out. I wanted to hear his whole connection.
He said he was somewhere Yeah, no kidding, or a
field day at some elementary school at coach?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Was he saying it? Coach? Somethings?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I think he did say that, Well, maybe you'll call
back and call back.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
It's like yesterday the guy said Perry and uh no,
we're gonna remind him of and Shannon cut him off.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
All damn, that was his phone connected. That's that's on him.
I'm not going to take that responsibility for this.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Here's a couple of other people's favorite show, Shannon's scorecard
shows at the Caucus. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Those were the bed cast though, weren't they. They weren't
even the morning shows.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Oh you're right, I think we did do those saved
him for the podcast of those. Yeah. Uh. And then
one of the best shows is Ambient Matt Ambient.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Yeah, that one, even though it's so recent, is certainly
high on the list. With how ridiculous he was challenging
everyone here to race one by one.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
I could beat you. I could beat you. I don't
know if I could beat you, but I could definitely
beat her.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Two two eight seven Clarks Poppa Chop phone number, Who's next?
Shannon Lance? Lance, Go ahead, Lance.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
Hey, Ryan, guys, I kind of agree with you Ryan
on the hoe we gotta beat Arkansas comment yesterday because
just for the national for the media and the jokes
we need to win that one so we don't have
to hear it. And uh, if any of Pope's staff
or anybody's listening and you want to beat Caliperry, it's
(26:56):
not really hard. Just run a one to three to
one defense and we will play that game. And on
one more thing, I knew Matt Winn't let me get
away with saying this. It's so bad, But if we
played Arkansas, I want the entire front row to be
the ninety sixteen with their coach. I want Rick Patino
to be the why. And I want them to take
(27:16):
the names off the back of the jersey for that
one game and just put Wildcats across the back.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Appreciate it. I'm not I'm not against any of that.
You know, if they I know the SEC schedule makers
will put Arkansas at RUP this year. But if they
waited until twenty twenty six, that's the thirty year anniversary
of that ninety six team, that's the perfect time to
bring the team back. Patino maybe could come in if
(27:43):
they wait till twenty twenty six, but that that won't happen.
It'll happen next year. But I'm all for bringing the
ninety six team in letting them have front row seats.
I don't know if Pino's gonna do the why. I
don't know if we're ready for that yet, but I
think the time has come where he can be there.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Yeah, although he's got his own team. I mean midst
you know the year on true, it's hard to get
a or even midweek, hard to get a coach there.
I mean those all sound like fun things. I wouldn't
be opposed to them, but I agree with you that
it has That game has to be in Rugh next year.
You can't put it off a year.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
And I've heard somebody else talk about it. They need
to play in denim jerseys or denim shoes or something
that one game, whatever, the ninety six game, is this
year or next year playing and do you like that idea?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Or oh I'll be disappointed if they don't. At this point,
UK was really bad at throwback uniforms in a time
when that's very popular. I mean, yeah, I hate Louisville,
but if I could give them a compliment, all the
different uniforms and logos and fun they had with going
back to the past, they were good of that. Now
we did it maybe the first time a couple of
years ago when they went back to the ninety threes,
(28:43):
and then this past team even wore them a couple
of times. But I hope with Pope there now Nike
owns Converse figure it out. Yeah, there's gotta be a
way to bring those back for a game. I agree
for that throwback, and they'll sell a million of them.
I know people hated them at the time. I don't care.
That is a awesome memory from an awesome team in
ninety six. We got to see that team wearing the denims.
(29:03):
I want the shoes. Yes, remember those had the big
star on the side with the dinners. I want all
of it.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah. The baseball program has been good about doing different
uniform combinations over the years. Which by the way they
play their series with Florida starts today. Did they move
the game up for so it starts at one, Yes,
because of possible bad weather down there.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Yes, that's an important to note their schedule tonight for
six or whatever it usually is, but they moved it
up to it won't be long after we're done, so
you can listen to Okay Billy producing, you know, I'm.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Sure, yeah, you hear that on six thirty WLAP, they'll
stream the game.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
You know what that did to TV situation? I can
look that up. I don't know, but I know the
game was moved.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Up for weather. Somebody called in and said, this was
the first year for girls to have their own KHSAA
state championships in wrestling in Kentucky. So see, we learned
something new today. All right, hereo's next, Shannon.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Jeff, Jeff, go ahead, Jeff, go ahead, Jeff, Jeff.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
I'm sorry, Ryan, Shannon Drew. This is the former radio
voice of the Wildcats. What's a Ralph Hacker?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Oh, Ralph, Ralph Hacker? Thought you were, Jeff going to
have your fake Ralph Hacker.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
I just wanted to call in today, guys, because, as
Ryan says, your leader.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Your big toe is away today.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
And you know, every time that Ralph Hacker calls the
radio program, well I never get to talk to you guys.
It's always just Matt taking over. So I wanted to
call in today. And of course, Drew, what's your wife happy?
A very happy birthday?
Speaker 3 (30:31):
Thank you. I'll pass that along to her.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
And you'll be celebrating one in about a month, won't
you drip?
Speaker 3 (30:37):
That is correct, it's a number. I don't want to
think about it, but it is coming up.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Is this the big number? Four out?
Speaker 3 (30:43):
They get closer and close.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Okay, but that's basically why I wanted to call it.
IM looking forward to you guys being around this summer
with Matt on his big European sojourn, and I'm gonna
be calling in a couple of weeks and wishing that
a very happy summer and hope he has a great vacation,
and I hope he doesn't have what happened to me
(31:06):
a couple of years, well five years ago, when I
went to France.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
So I'll be talking to.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Matt then, and good to hear you guys on the
radio today.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
So what happened in France?
Speaker 1 (31:16):
I can't leitch off like that, Come on, leaves hanging fake,
Ralph Hacker. What happened in France?
Speaker 5 (31:21):
It was a heat wave.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Let me just say that.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
It was a heat wave in the summer of twenty nineteen.
And I hope that Matt doesn't experience that because it
was so hot that Ralph Hacker couldn't take it.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Well, thank you, Ralph Hacker. We appreciate it, and I
look forward to hearing from you this summer to help
us get through some of these summer shows.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
I'll be talking with your riot.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
All right, appreciate it. Fake Ralph Hacker making an appearance.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Today, such a big star. He calls in as an alias.
He calls in as Jeff from Lexington.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Thank you for the double birthday.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Wish there yours an Abbey. I got another baseball story
for you, Shannon. All right, let's hear uh Otani's interpreter
finally has agreed to plead guilty to stealing like up
to seventeen million dollars prison for Sotoya Otani. Yeah, and
(32:14):
that has come out that he was paying off gambling debts,
seventeen million dollars he stole from his buddy. They're not
I thought just they're like buddies, they're like good friends.
Stole it from Otani. But now the all the conspiracy
theorists say he's taken the fall for Otani, that Otani
was really the gambler and the interpreter was taking the
(32:37):
fall and is now going to take the fall for him.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Well, if that's true, that's a really good friend. If
somebody's wanting to go to prison for you and take
the fall instead of him.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Yeah, I think the max can receive is like thirty
three years in prison. Oh my god for something like that.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Sorry, I love you guys, but I'm not going to
prison for you.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
Count me among the people that don't believe that was
the guy.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Do you think it was Do you think it was Otani?
Speaker 3 (32:59):
The interpreter was betting seventeen million dollars? Years are gonna
tell me that with a straight face, that I was
supposed to believe the interpreter was betting seventeen million dollars.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
See, that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
I don't know this interpreter. Maybe maybe he's very very
good at his job and he's able to bet seventeen
million dollars. But I find it hard to believe the
guy next to the mega rich guy was betting seventeen
million and not the mega rich guy.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Because what if, Shannon, What if Otani said, look, man,
you take the fall for me. I'll make sure your
family is taking care of for the rest of their life.
You may have to, you may have to go to
jail for twenty five years. I'm going to take care
of your family.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Oh I don't care. No, that's not good enough for me.
So you're telling me you'd be willing to go to
jail for something you didn't do just so your family
be taken care of. You'd be willing to go to
jail for twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
No, no, no, I wouldn't do it. But I'm like,
you know, I've got three kids. Or if he said, okay,
all three of your kids, I'll make sure they have
to get through college. You're doing that just fine life.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Not in jail. You're getting your kids through college as
it is.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Right, Well, I agree kids.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Your kids aren't suffering from because of your financial situation.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
I think it smells like duck poop, you know, I
think there's something there. But he is, I guess from
what I read yesterday, set to plead guilty for stealing
up to seventeen million dollars in faces up to thirty
three years in prison.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
I haven't stayed up to this is so tany like
mad at him?
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Do we?
Speaker 3 (34:20):
And we have O'tanni on record saying.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
I think he's he's his His statement is I forgive him?
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Yeah, because if he's being quiet and playing it cool,
then I even further believe it wasn't the interpreter because if.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
The gal legitimately stole all that money. He should be
pretty upset with him, but he doesn't seem to be exactly.
That's why the conspiracy theorist the interpreter was betting. Very interesting,
So something to keep an eye because eventually stuff comes out.
It maybe two or three years, but eventually it comes out.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
But you find out that Totani, I mean he's going
to be banned, right, I mean, if he's betting on
baseball's banned from baseball. Yeah, and Major League Baseball doesn't
want that to happen because he's the biggest star right right.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Listen, I'm wearing a brain right now. I think you
should already be banned, get him out of the NL.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
I totally agree with you. Yeah, but you know Major
League Baseball doesn't want that because of all the money
they're bringing in.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Because amen, that's why the conspiracy theorists think this dude's
taking the fall for o Tani and for Major League Baseball.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
I need to see UH bank records of how mister
interpreter is betting seventeen million. If it's true that he's done,
that's crazy and I need to get into interpreting.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
I mean, I bet five dollars on the KSR parlay
last night on.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Draft Camp and I won.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
It's all five dollars. Interpreter should have been listening to us. Amen,
All right, we'll take our break. We'll come back. Final
segment eight five nine two aight oh two two eight
seven as a Clark's Pumping jop phone number eight five
nine two ah two to eight seven. Ryan Drew and
Shannon will be back to wrap it up. We'll can
take a sports radio welcome back. Final segment here, can
I take you sports radio? Ryan Drew and Shannon joined
(35:46):

I'm I'm gonna be dry soon the show's over. I'm
driving to Alabama for my niece's wedding tomorrow, my only
niece that I have. You know, he's sleeping in a hotel.
You know, sometimes it's hard to go to sleep. You
wonder you any idea what can help me?
Speaker 2 (36:01):
You know, I'm glad you asked, because there's this great
product called cornbread hemp. Really, now, did you know that
the same reason Kentucky has the fastest horses in the
world is the same reason that corn bread hemp grows
The finest hemp. Did you realize that, Ryan, Well, tell
me about it. Well, the limestone rockbed underneath Kentucky makes
our soil rich with minerals that feed our horses, angrows,
corn bread, hemps, USDA organic hemp products. If you never
(36:24):
tried it, you need to get their gummies, their oils,
their lotions. You'll be amazed at how much better you feel.
You go to Cornbreadhemp dot com slash KSR and are
in the promo code KSR at checkout, you'll get thirty
percent off your first order. That's Cornbreadhemp dot com slash
KSR code KSR BTI.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
I wrote a post that's on the on three KSR
website and we want to talk about before we get
out here. So what is it true?
Speaker 3 (36:48):
H He's trying to ask people which of these deals
they would make for the next basketball season.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
You have four You get on this one too, Mario.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Oh yeah, you have four options and you got to
pick one. I have not read these myself. Okay, we're
going to do this in real time. Number one swept
by Tennessee, but you beat Arkansas.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
You talk about basketball? Yes, all right?
Speaker 3 (37:06):
Number two finish outside the top three in the SEC,
but then you go win the SEC tournament. Number three
is you make the Elite eight, but you lose to
Louisville in the regular season. And number four is you
make the final four, but you lose to John Calipari
and Arkansas in the final four. Toughs why you all
(37:29):
think on this? I just want to say something, Bet.
I will occasionally just wake up and choose violence and
put something like this on the NFFT. And he does
a lot of good work. Sometimes it just fits in
with buts of news. But this one, you know, he's
he Both of you had like visible reactions to some
of those. Yess that third one third, y'all repeat him again.
We'll start at the beginning, swept by Tennessee, but you
beat Arkansas, so it doesn't really affect your postseason. You
(37:51):
just lose into the balls twice, UH finish outside the
top three in the regular season, but then you go
win in Nashville, win the SEC tournament. Number two three
was you make the Elite eight, but louis will beat
you in the regular season, and that's in Reparena this year.
And number four as you make the final four but
lose to Arkansas.
Speaker 6 (38:10):
That fourth one is not I can't go with the
fourth one for sure.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Poking the final four first year, first year to the
final four would be man since twenty fifteen.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Yeah, if you get to the final four in your
first season, building the program from the ground up, I
don't care who you lose to. You shake their hand
and say, hey, we got a final four in our
first year and get ready for next year. I'm taking
the fourth option.
Speaker 6 (38:30):
It would be to Cal though.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Yeah, I can't take that. You're saying number four, I
got number four. Yeah, I'm I'm gonna go. I'm gonna
go with the SEC one because I think I can't.
I don't want to lose to Louisville RUP, I don't
want to lose Cal Perry, and I don't want to
get swept by Tennessee. So I'm going with the finish
outside the top three in the SEC, but win the
(38:52):
SEC tournament. That's the one I'm going with.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
I'm leading that direction because in that scenario, you can
lose a lot of games or in the regular season
the SEC. Yes, figure it out, you're not in the
top three, but you're feeling good. You go win all
those games in Nashville and we don't have a there's
no story written for our tournament here that we could
win the whole thing. All all these had postseason losses
at certain price, So I think I like that one
actually to be different. I'll take the swept by Tennessee
(39:17):
but beat Arkansas. I hate losing to Tennessee, but that
assures me John Caliperry is catching an l and it
means the postseason's wide open. Yeah, I'm not limiting you, Drew.
Speaker 6 (39:28):
I'm going with you on that. The first one you're
talking about where we we swept by Tennessee, swept by Tennessee,
beat Arkansas doesn't say anything about the postseason, so that
to your point, I'm going with the first one.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
We make the postseason. In that scenario, though, we.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Could win the championship. Good and we've been We've feel
like we've split with Tennessee a lot lately. We've lost
to them plenty, what's twice in one year? In post
first season, we'll get them on down the road. That
gets us the Arkansas win, and then I think we
win both tournaments.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Shannon, you gotta pick one dead option four.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
To the final four in his first season again, starting
with new staff, all new roster. That's a hell of
an accomplishment, and you gotta feel good about your future
moving forward. If you make it to the final four
in his first year, I don't hate it.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
I don't hate that either, but I can't lose the
cow right those against everything.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Today When you get to the final four, I don't
think it matters that you lose.
Speaker 6 (40:21):
Does he lose to on that big stage like attitude?
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Though cal might throw the latter at us if he
