Hey, it's Ryan Lemon from Kentucky Sports Radio. I'm not just a radio guy. I'm also a realtor. I talk to homeowners all the time. And what's the one thing many homeowners have but rarely think about? It's equity. It's something that can quietly grow over time while you're busy living your life. And for many homeowners, it can be an opportunity they haven't explored.

Whether you're planning home improvements or preparing for whatever it comes next, your home's equity may be able to help you. It's important to understand what's available and to find out the right option that fits your goals. For me, I wanted to put a pool in my backyard and finish my basement. I didn't have the money available, so I went to Stockton Mortgage. They found the equity that already built up in my house was able to use to install my pool and finish the basement. I would have been able to do it without them. At Stockton Mortgage, they'll walk you through the possibilities.

Answer your questions and help you understand your next step. If it's been a while since you've looked into your homes by you, now might be a great time to start the conversation.

Our remote tomorrow is it Don Franklin, what? Buick GMC. Don Franklin, Buick GMC on Richmond Road, right? Correct. Yes. Don Franklin, Buick GMC on Richmond Road. Come on out. There's a rumor that maybe some good stuff will happen there.

One. Nana. So you want to come out tomorrow, 10 to noon. Weather should be good. And we will be out there tomorrow. Saturday, our pregame show is at 3.30? I think it's at 3. 5. 3 to 5. So the game is at 7.

So at 3. Location announced tomorrow. Okay. Could be walk-ons. Problem is walk-ons part of it has been rented out by LSU fans. Has it really? Yeah, because it's an LSU that they started. So we're still seeing if there's going to be a place for Kentucky people.

If there is, we will do it. If not, we also. might be at the stadium. To have a day. That was awesome we did at the stadium in the first game. So we'll see. That is a to be determined,

but it's at 3 o'clock either way for those of you listening at home. So keep that in mind. And by the way, we play our first basketball game next week. A week from tomorrow. We're a week from tomorrow's a basketball game. We're about to have the Friday, Saturday double-headers. Travis Ford and Arkansas Little Rock, right?

Travis Ford's coming to town. Travis Ford's coming to town with his arc and taking us on. We finally learned the times yesterday. We did. We'll talk about that in a minute. The times are pretty normal. Only one absurd game, but that's all right. 859-280-2287.

Let's go over a couple little pieces of non-UK news. Tomorrow morning to 8.30 in the morning, maybe on your way to remote, you can pay $5,000 and meet Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. 8.30 in the morning in Lexington, $5,000. It's a fundraiser for the guy that's, running here that used to work for Matt Bevin. What's his name? Alvarado. Alvarado. Who's running against Zach, don't call me Finis Dimbo. I'm Zach Dimbo. That's how he sounds. The only thing you know about that race is that, right? Just how he sounds.

I used to be a Navy pilot. I'm Zach Dimbo. I just don't think that's very nice. I also don't think that's how he sounds. That's exactly how he sounds. That's exactly how he sounds there's no doubt well anyway so we got mccannel and now we have zach dimbo from ryan lemon those are your two politician and impersonation yeah i can't do an alvarado yet i'll work yeah oh that means you're considering tomorrow debut okay i like that so like but you can kind of do a debate later on right well i can impersonate him on his commercials all he does is lift his hands up Why don't you have him lift his shoulders all the way up?

He does not do that. They say your groceries could cost $10 could cost $100. And he goes, put his hands up in the air. Your car repair could be $100. You look like a little doll. Put his hands up in the air. Look like you're on a roller goaster. You really are.

You need to do your own political analysis of this race. I'll break it down. Let's say it seems like it. Well, Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House is coming for Alvarado. And if you give him $5,000, he will, will take a picture. I liked it. 3,500 you get a picture with Alvarado. Oh, man.

Is there like a two-for-one rate where I can get both for $7,000 or something? I don't know. Is there anyone you would give $5,000 to take a picture with? No way, Jose. Anyone at all. Not even Dariusrucker. Rick, is there anyone you would give $5,000 to take a picture with? No. No. No. No. Nobody.

Zero people on the planet. Zero. And if you are going tomorrow, you have way too many $5,000 and you should share them with other people. It wouldn't be better just to give your friend $5,000? Yeah. I wouldn't stop walking to take a picture with Mike Johnson for free. That's a good question. Mike Johnson comes up here, says, would you like a picture?

I could not be inconvenience to take the time. Maybe if he came to remote as a fan. Yeah, if it was like that, but it was like, hey, Drew, come get your picture with Mike Johnson. No. I have other things I could be doing. Tell the story about when you were going to take a picture of Jeff Burton. Yeah, it was way back in the day in Madisonville. Jeff Burton, the NASCAR driver was doing a signing.

And I guess it was, I think I was working. So it had been at Kroger. I worked at Kroger. And he came up to me. I was in high school. He was like, hey kid. And he takes my hat and he goes to sign it. And I just jerked it back.

Like, I don't want you seen it. Give me back my hat, Jeff Burton. He kind of shook him. But also, I like the hat. It was like a Kentucky hat. I don't need your name on it. So he just, like, thought you would want... Yeah, I mean, maybe I confused him by standing there with a hat on, but I didn't want his

signature. I like the idea that Jeff Burton just walks around side of people's hats. Not mine. Give that hat back. Give me her son. So you said, give it back to me. Yeah. I don't want you writing on my hat.

It's a boss move right there, Drew Franklin. I like that. Okay. So how many people do you think will show up for the Mike Johnson photo opportunity? Well, I mean, they will because they're trying to, like, it's all political. things. They're just trying to buy money or like buy influence. So this is like the ham. It's not about the photo.

Just about giving Mike Johnson $5,000. If you're asking who is it that would pay, is paying $5,000 because they want a picture with Mike Johnson. The answer is no one. I was just worried about society. If the answer is who wants to give $5,000 to try to get this dude elected, then yes, I do think there are people that will do

that because they're like, that's what they think they need to do. But no one is paying. for his picture. I can't imagine. At 8.30 in the morning on a Friday. I don't want a picture with anyone at 8.30 in the morning on a Friday. I'm trying to, is there a sneaky way to get around not making a political donation?

So they say, well, you want to sneak in? Wait, wait, you just want to sneak in and get a picture with Mike Johnson. Like, you're trying to game the system so you can get a picture with Mike Johnson. Yeah, why don't I go to this breakfast? Just give me a picture with Mike Johnson. I mean, we can probably make this happen. I bet Mike Johnson would find the time. I don't. I don't even know who Mike Johnson is. If he walked in right now. Would you know who that is? Not a clue.

I like that you're trying to scheme your way in to get a picture with a person that you don't even know who he is. Don't even know who that is and do not care. Folks, I know there's somebody out there listening who could get Ryan into that thing and get a picture with Mike Johnson. It's 8.30 in the morning. That's... Okay, that's a good question. If we had a caller who called and said, I'll get you in for free to get a picture of Mike Johnson you just have to be there at 830

I get the picture for free Yes With the person you don't know The person I don't know I'll snuggle up to the wrong person probably Oh you think you would walk into somebody else And take a picture Here I'm here my like

Let's get a selfie That's so Ryan by the way Isn't interested Wouldn't pay But would love to sneak in and get it It's free photo That's good content right there All right.

He's doing it for the show. Here's what I'll say to the Mike Johnson people if you're listening. Ryan Lemon will come. Will you get up? I would get up and I put on my brown suit. Oh, we're now. We didn't even ask that. You're getting dressed up for it.

You can contact Ryan. He can go show up with Mike Johnson. I'm in. Please take it like you took it with Biden. And please do that. Well, you took that way you can show it's bipartisanly creepy. That's true. And you got to throw your arms up like Alvarado to him.

Do that one more time. Throw your arms up. Could cost 100. Could cost a thousand. What? A little doll. What? Did you see the Yankees catch?

Yes. So what do we think? It was absolutely fan interference. But if I was that guy, I would have done the same thing. I would have tried to catch it. Did you see them celebrating the replay? Like the group of guys, they show the replay in there. so proud of themselves.

Because they're on the replay. Yeah. Did he catch it? He, the fan went off his hands. He deflected it. Yeah. Back into the field.

Or up into the stands. Yeah, up in the stands. Okay. I actually thought the ref got the right call, the umpire. Because if he hadn't interfered, the guy from first probably would have scored. Probably would have scored.

And the guy would have probably gotten a double. Looks like he's going to hit the top of the wall. Yeah, it wasn't good. Do you agree it wasn't going to go? I don't think so. I don't think it was either. So you don't think the Yankees should blame this dude on their loss. I'm sure

Yankee fans are going to. By the way, this would be a great day to host sports talk radio in New York. It's all the show will be. It would all, you just open up the phones and then what about that guy? So what happens to that guy? Oh, he gets called out. Has he been identified yet? I'm sure he has. Sure he has. Is his life? What's happening to his life? Because I still remember the kids, Michael

Mayor. I still remember the kids name from the 90s. But he was treated as a hero. He was because it helped the Yankees that time. Because they didn't call interference. They actually created the rule because of that kid. He helped the Yankee. But he was, like he was became a superstar. Yeah. And let me think about that.

30 years later, I still remember his name. True. People still remember Steve Bartman. What's going to happen to this guy? I wouldn't think it'd be positive. It doesn't help. They lost by one, right? Yes.

And they're out. They're out. They're out. But even though that shouldn't be the deciding factor, losing by one. But they wouldn't know one. I mean, like, if he didn't do it, the same result would have occurred. I'm with you, but people will, the losing by one does not help him. No, it doesn't.

People will still make that connection, even though it's not fair to him. They kicked him out of the game. I don't know. Check online, Drew. See if they found out what his name is. I'm not, I mean, I'm not trying to, but like. Like I said, if I was that guy. The city, I'm sure the internet and city have identified.

There's no doubt. He's been called out probably by the end of that inning. They figured out who. he was. Do you feel bad for it? Yeah, but like I said, I would have done the same thing. I would have tried to catch it. It's coming right out of me. So you feel bad for it. I do. I do too. I've told you this for many years on this show. I'm always fascinated by people who in a split second have their life either completely change or the world spotlight on them and all of a sudden like your life is never the same

after that moment. Remember the couple at the cold play concert? I felt sorry for that couple, sort of. Even though they shouldn't have been cheating, they didn't ask for that. They were just going to the concert. So I do wonder about this. And it's probably just human reaction.

It's human reaction. There's the ball. I'm going to catch the ball. And if he does this in June and the Yankees win, no one even thinks about it. But the same reaction, just because how it all played out. So they have his name? I haven't seen it anywhere.

Maybe it is, but it's not obvious on the internet. Well, maybe they won't. maybe they won't find him. But a lot of people comparing it to the kid. And then Dua Lepa was sitting right behind. Did you see that? She was right behind Home Place. I didn't see that.

With the guy, what's his name? The actor that's all British and handsome. Isn't that all of them now? Callum. Oh, that's a person. Turner? Yeah, that's a thing, right? Yeah, they were sitting right behind home plate,

Dua Leapah. You don't see that a lot. You don't see a lot where the, Celebrity sits right behind on plate, so you're just looking at them the whole time. They're just out there amongst them, too. Yeah. Yeah, Marlon's man was sitting next to him. Yeah.

But Duolipa was like, if you made me bum on that. That woman. Yeah. She was doing that during the game? I didn't watch that. Oh. Did you watch my Braves? You lost, right?

Lost. Ronald Ocuna is the internet's not being kind of him. They booed him. Why did they boo him? He was awful. He has more MVP awards. than postseason RBI in the last six years. Wow, really?

But he was like, he seemed emotional. He seemed sad that you all booed him. It was sad watching him get booed. They're putting James Harden over his, on his face now, like comparing him to him. I mean, he did nothing. Absolutely nothing. Yeah. But it was the Dodgers.

You didn't think you were going to win. You're at home, though. If Acuna gives you anything in the series, maybe. Because, I mean, you're in all the games. You stole one in L.A. Yeah. He was disappointing, and that's my guy. I think the KS.

curse at the Super Bowl. I think I cursed him. Yeah, it looked like he looked sad. I didn't, I didn't know anything about it, but I felt bad for it. It's not like I'm a Reds fan or anything, but it hurt. Cornbreadhimp.com. I had somebody write me yesterday and say, what is it that you use to help sleep?

Welcome back, Techie Sports Radio. People love your jewelry commercial, Mario. Every time it airs, people get excited. What's the name of the place that you're doing it for? Yeah. What's the name of the place? It's in downtown Lexington. It's like droolers.

I really hate the way I say that word. But what's the name of the place? It's like a droolie downtown Lexington. It's not called jewelry. Like it has a name. You need to know. Can I give you a secret? You need to know the name of the companies you endorse.

Yeah, no, I know the name. We'll say it. It's like jewelers in downtown Lexington. It's not just called jewelers. It has a name. Like, the jewelry's not, it's like a store is not just called store. I'm trying, you can look it up. I'm trying to get you to give a free plug here.

So to help your advertiser, you need to know the name of it. He's going to look it up. All right. I'm trying to help you. Listen. and this will help them that we're doing this conversation. But it's important to know. Did you continue to grow?

Because I want you to get all of them. All the endorsements. Right, Drew? Absolutely. Okay. Mario would have all of them. I want to turn on my radio one day. I do.

Right now it's Ryan, then Ryan and Ryan and Ryan. I want to hear Mario. But that's because Ryan charges $20 to endorse anything. All right, go ahead. It's called Lexington Jewelers. Oh, over on 3rd Street. Yeah. Okay, see, that's what you need to know about it, is what Drew just said.

You say Lexington Jewel rulers and it's on third street. Yep. All right. And what's it called again? Lexington Drulers. Sounds like you're saying Lexington Drulers. Which would be a business that you wouldn't want to go into. Lexington Drulers.

Just plover everywhere. You just walk in. I love you. Sounds like we were. Max. They don't pronounce their Ds. They pronounce their Ds as J's. You just walk in.

I can't help you. I can't help you. Just I'm interested in control. You've come in the right place. I'm sorry. That's ridiculous. There's your video clip right there. We're doing that.

Let's go to David. Go ahead, David. First time, long time. Oh, what's up? Go ahead. Oh, Matt, yesterday I heard you guys talking about UK as a legacy and UCLA as a legacy. And I try to get on. I've lived in Kentucky most of my life.

But anyways, I was born and raised in Southern California. And I was a UCLA Bruins basketball fan. And I used to watch Jabbar when he used to call himself Louis. a sendor. And anyways, our high school went on a field trip to UCLA, to the campus. They let us walk around. They gave us these maps. So I convinced a couple of my friends, let's go to Polly Pavilion and check it out. We went in there and the first door I tried, it opened up. And no one was in there. And I thought for sure they're going to kick us out. We walked onto the court. I looked up and saw all of the banners there. Yeah. But you're not going to have a hard time selling us

the beauty of UCLA basketball at you on UK show, though, right? No, no. My point is that I hope someday in my lifetime, I'm 70 now, that UK gets as many banners hung as they have. I like that conclusion. Now, you grew up a UCLA fan. Are you a Kentucky fan now?

Oh, I've been a Kentucky fan for, oh, probably 25 years now. Okay, good. And what made you switch? I moved here. After I retired from the military, I moved here. First lived in Somerset. I live in Bowling Green now. I've been here for 17 years. And I've been a Kentucky fan ever since I moved to Connecticut. Well, good. Well, I like that you switched. And I'll tell you what, we're going to, we're going to try to get. We need three more to get up there with them. And I hope it happens for you. And it's nice to hear from you, sir. Yeah, I hope it happens in my lifetime. Thank you. It's going to. I, it's going to. I appreciate it. appreciate the call. Let's make it happen in his lifetime. I like that. When saw the banners

at Pauley Pavilion, now he needs to go and see the banners happen. We need to do it for him. They have 11, right? Isn't that what they have? We have eight. They have 11. So do we get three morning's lifetime? For certain. Because he's going to live a long time. Yeah. Fingers crossed. Yes. Let a man dream. I know the AI pictures of Lexington. and where's are coming. I'm waiting on those. And I don't like the AIP. I don't,

AIP, but the end they're kind of funny. I don't want to like them. We're going to need another data center for whatever it comes to Lexington Jewlers. Let's go to Joe. Go ahead, Joe. Hey, guys. I used to coach this kid,

and they used to tell me how to pronounce his last name was jewelry, but with a, what a you, and obviously from me trying to say that word just now, you can't pronounce it at all. It used to just blow them. It is a hard word. It was we tried the other day.

It is a tough word. Yeah, there's no shot. Like, they would tell me that, and I would just panic and try to announce this kid in front of his entire family, you know, at a banquet or whatever. And everybody in the audience is just staring at me like, this guy is an idiot. So that's my experience with that word. So other than I had to call because of the LSU game this weekend. Last weekend, I was so excited to watch us play South Carolina. And so I turned it on.

It's the first game I'm getting to watch all year because usually I'm working on Saturdays. And obviously we're getting rolled up pretty good there in the first quarter. They go third down. It's obvious they're going to get points. You know, South Carolina's about to get points again. And so immediately, you know, I'm watching my kid anyway. I turn off the TV. I turn off the radio that I'm listening to in my ears and walk around my house.

And, you know, every about 30 minutes I'm checking. I'm getting more and more excited as the cats come back. And so it was just awesome to see it, awesome to not see it at the same time. No, I like that. There are big-time games we've. one that I've only seen like a player too because I'm with you. I feel like when I turn it off they do better

and so then I don't watch. Sometimes it's hard to do post game shows when you haven't watched the game. It may be the case and I appreciate the call sir where Ryan Lemon's gotten calls from me where I've said, all right, you need to tell me what I can say about this game because I only followed it along via

things and you know, but I feel like I'm doing it for the team and the program. That's right. You're taking the hit. Taking the hit. That's why I, that's why I do it. What's the name of this hurricane that's coming? It's got a funny name. I-S-A-I-A-A-A-S.

Yeah. I heard two different guys pronounce it two different ways this morning. So what were the two ways? I think one guy said Isaiah and the other guy said, I-I-S-E-A-A-A. Okay, so it's definitely a say-A. That's what they were saying. That's what they were say-a. That's what they were saying.

They-A-S-A-A-A-S-A-A. It's a say. Yeah. All right. Isaiah. Answer that phone, Rick. Isaiah. Ezaa.

Which do you think it is? I'll go Ezaa. Complete guess. I've only read it. I've not heard anyone actually say it. You know, Shannon, the dude was down there. He left this morning to get out of Dodge. Oh, because that is right where he is, right?

Yeah, he was in Panama City all week. They left this morning to get out of Dodge. So he's racing home to beat it. Racing home, yeah. When's it supposed to hit landfall? Tomorrow? I think tomorrow. and then come up you out through Tuscaloosa's by Saturday.

Okay. They said Bill Mac right now says could hit Lexington during the game. That's the most likely scenario. While we're winning, right? Yeah, let us get ahead. Let us get ahead. Take ball. And then open the floodgates.

Take the ball, score quick, bring on the rain. I do think, I honestly think that would be the best scenario. Wouldn't be bad for us. Yes. We got the offensive line. We can run the ball. have to. We'll take a break. Be right back. Sponsored by Lexington Drulers. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.

Say it again? Say it again. Isayas. Isayas. All right. Isayas. That's the name of this hurricane. Isayas. Feels like that's, I mean, I appreciate trying to have different names, but this would have been one that should have been pretty, like this was a big one. Yeah. Give that to one that

doesn't work too much. Yeah. We're coming up on. Mays, maybe just a gym. You know. Janet. What are the ones you remember? You have Katrina. Katrina for sure. Hugo.

Hugo, yes. Andrew. I remember Andrew very well. Is that the one hit Texas? Which one hit Texas? That flooded the Houston area. No. Hugo hit Florida.

Andrew hit Florida, right? Mm-hmm. In the early 90s. And then Hugo, I think, hit like North Carolina. Okay. Um, those are the ones that stick out. I know there's more, though. Maybe they're running out of I.

They used to not name them. Like the Galveston hurricanes just called the Galveston hurt. Okay. They may be running out of letters for I. That's why they had to come up with this. Oh, yeah. There's not a, I mean, not a ton of names. You could call him Irv.

Yeah. Isaac, close. They're probably already done Isaac. Probably already done Isaiah. Ingrid. Igor. We had an Irene, right? Wasn't there an Irene?

We did have an Irene. There was a big Irene. That's right. Well, I mean, they have them every year. It's just like they'll die out or something. And they only use your name once. So, like, there's probably already been a mat and it probably didn't do much. Have you ever looked up to see what yours did?

Well, mine was Andrew. That's why I remember it so well. I was a kid. And I was like, why am I doing this? Oh, okay. I guess that's right. Yeah, it stuck with me. But there might also be a Drew.

It's true. True. Have you ever checked to see what Hurricane Ryan was? I don't know if they've ever had one. I got to check. Probably Zamario. Yeah. Probably Matthew.

I did get a text from Bill Mac. Okay. He says, or you can just call it as I did like, night, call it the istorm. Come on, Bill, Mac. This is your job. You got to learn how to say. Eye storm. You don't get to call it the ice storm.

You went to meteorology school for this. You don't get to call it. They don't call Peyton Manning M. Man. That's right. They call him Manning. Hurricane Matthew was in 2016. What did it do? Widespread devastation across Cuba.

Bahamas and the Southeast U.S. I don't remember that. Actually, tomorrow's the 10-year anniversary. Dear Cuba and Bahamas. I'm sorry. Bill says Ike hit Houston. So it's another I name. Okay.

So eyes, they get you. You get you. And Hurricane Mario was just a couple months ago at your housewarming party. I was there. That's true. They announced that UK will be able to play three summer basketball games every year. I love this. I do too.

just give me more sports in the summer. I like it. You saw how much we got into TBT in July. We did. So I like the idea of play. There's some talk about like some network will get eight teams and have a little tournament. You like that? We talked about this one time. What if Kentucky and Louisville hosted Eastern, Western, Murray, Moorhead had our own little state tournament?

No. No. I would like that for summer basketball tournament. I want to see them play good teams. I don't want to see them play Eastern and what. No offense. but this is the summer. I'm going to be excited. What excitement am I going to get about them playing Easter?

They're playing a game. Okay, but now why don't we play a good team? You want to play a good team in the summer? Yes, so I can see how good my team is, so I can get a sense of what we really are. I mean, I think the good thing about a summer game is you could play the best teams and it doesn't matter. Right?

Everybody will kind of know going in. I mean, we'd be passionate about it, but you're like, all right, we're seeing these guys are the first time. They've practiced for two weeks. Yeah. To be open-minded. And, I mean, play Eastern.

What's the upside? You beat Eastern. What's the downside? You lose to Eastern. And the coach goes for two months with people going, we stink. You can't do that. You can't do that. You can't have big games.

It's good for the sport. Right now, the NFL and football just keep taking more and more of your days and cutting in. The summer is still pretty open. Go have some big events. You play those games in early August. If like TNT or something. something put a week of college basketball together. I mean, it would be diehards that would watch, but they'd watch.

And you'd get to see these like rookies for the first time. We could have seen Milan in the uniform for the first time. I think people would be completely into it. But no, I do not. That's the last thing I want to do is play Eastern Western Moorhead. That to me sounds like the, it's probably what we'll do for the sacred cloth, but I don't want it. You're right, though, if you were to lose one of those,

and you could be in that early, I mean, guys are just getting on campus. That's what's going to be unique about these. Yeah, I don't want that. They would be punished for it the whole preseason. At least when we play the foreign teams, we don't know how good they are. So we can convince ourselves that Beta Max 43 is a good team. And we can tell them not to zone.

Yeah, but you can't do that. No. I like it in early August before college football gets going. People are trying to get settled in a little bit. I hope they do it. More revenue. And now we're going to get to play them and they'll be fun. And if they want to sell the tickets, I mean, would they sell out Rupp for Kentucky?

Yukon? I think they would. I saw Memorial for... Yeah, I think they would. 39-year-old DeAndre Liggins and the crew. If you had Kentucky, Yukon or whatever, and even play a road game and it would be fun for all of us to take a summer trip to some random school out in the middle of, I think it would be great. It's an awesome opportunity for the sport, but I hope they don't ruin it by going... I hope they don't ruin it by doing something like. These other schools are playing each other, so we should do it too. Is there really even a downside? I see no down.

People getting hurt. That's the only downside. You're already practicing. People are hurting practice. I agree. We've already heard enough. What's what in another game going to do? Yeah.

Let's go to Sam. Go ahead, Sam. Hey, guys. I just wanted to call. I've seen the injury report this morning. What do you guys think about the LSU our injury report for this weekend? Well, it's bad.

We got a lot of guys hurt. Got a lot of guys on the defense. A lot of law. I mean, like, I appreciate. call. There's going to be dudes playing at linebacker for us who I don't know who they are, and I'm not going to act like I do. They've never played before. They've never played

for Kentucky before. Maybe some of them haven't played at all in college. Or you'll know them, but they're playing out of position and having to learn it this week. Yeah. Might move some safeties up or one of your outside guys in, but to have... We may have Zawagi playing inside linebacker. To have three inside specific linebackers

on your injury reports. It's tough. That's tough. I mean, like, that's going to be our vulnerability. You know Lane's going to attack it. Oh, sure. So it kind of is what it is. And that's a big position. And that means we're going to have to score a lot. We're probably going to score a lot to beat them because they're going to score with that defense we have right now.

Yeah, they'll probably just play an extra defensive back, play more nickel and dime, but that person in a run, you're going to have to tackle. You're going to get big. They're probably just going to find somebody whose whole job it is to just watch Levitt. But no, it's not good at all. Chas, what's up? What's up, guys? I'm down here

and Destin with about 5,000 other Kentucky fans evacuating the beach. But what we were talking about as a family, what do you think is the historical equivalent in college basketball to LSU football as a program? Hmm.

So LSU is interesting because they haven't won the titles that other kind of brands have. but when they've been good, they've been crazy good a few times. And they're a little bit of a rogue school, but their fan base does really care a lot. So who would they be? It's a good question.

I appreciate the call. Well, they got like two championships in the last 20 years. But they also have arguably, some people think the best team of the modern era. Yeah. With the borough team. Um, first thing comes to my mind is something like Syracuse. You know, they won just one title, two titles, one title. But they've always been good.

Yeah. They've had some really star players over the years. Syracuse is not quite as wild as Baton Rouge. Else you feels more relevant in the sport than Syracuse does in basketball right now? True. Syracuse back in the day would be a good argument, I think, for it. Yeah, I mean, like, honestly, they remind me of UNLV, but just UNLV hasn't mattered in so long, but it's hard to...

But back in the day, yeah, the UCLA was rocking. Michigan? Michigan? Michigan has had very famous teams. Yeah. Very good teams. A lot of people think last year... I'm going to go with Michigan.

Got some swagger to them. Got some swagger. Michigan last year, people put as one of the great teams. They have the Fab Five. they've produced a lot of professional players. I'm going to go say Michigan. Until I hit a better one, I think Michigan's a good car. They both have yellow.

Both have yellow. Good fan bases. Let's do that. Tell me about E-Step. E-steps. You should step into E-steps. And when you do, step up into the Rewards program, get the E-steps app and start earning today.

Outside, see, that's a cool thing to do that you could do in the summer exhibition games. Sure you could. I like it. That venue looked really cool. We've been there.

It's a great setup for basketball, kind of how they're like a pie, but not. Do that. Do that again. Latest weather report says rain to start around 7 p.m. with gust of wind up to 50 miles an hour. Wow. Wow. It could be like that Southern Miss where you just have to sit through some delays. As long as it doesn't lightning, though, they'll keep playing. They'll keep playing.

That's going to be wild. But that's going to be kind of fun. I will say, we've talked about this before. Terrible environments, once you're in them and your pot commence. it can be a lot of fun. And it's at night. You've already made the commitment. It's not you've got to rush out of there or something. And it's like church the next day, you know, you get one off.

The Lord understands. The Lord wants you to beat Lane Kiffin too. He's the one bringing the weather. So he's encouraging it. Exactly right. How can, and so if he can't go to church, the Lord, he giveth. And you'll get wet. You'll be all right. Yes. And when the, when the LSU gets a ball, we're going to take it away. That's right.

We'll be right. We'll be right. We're going to look up and we're going to have so many fans there. That's right. Tell him, Rick. The music you love. I heart radio. Your favorite radio stations.

Techie Sports Radio. People keep writing. Did I not talk about Dakota Johnson on Saturday Night Live? People keep talking and ask me what I thought. I thought I mentioned that. I thought you mentioned you yesterday. Yeah. You didn't go in a lot of detail.

Yeah, just did good. Proud over? I am. Good for you. I haven't seen the movie yet, though. Maybe I'll do that this week. I'm surprised you weren't camped out front. No, it did really well, though, I saw.

Gotting a lot of money. We know Andy went. Yes. people are saying, Matt, you place the syllable on the wrong, the emphasis on the wrong syllable. It goes on the third syllable. So it's Isaias. So I want to say Issa aias. Issa ayes.

Issaias? Issaias. Yesaias. Not yes ayes. Isaias. There you go. So tell Bill Mech, I expect him to be on TV going, Isaias.

The Ice Storm. No, we don't, no, that's lame. If he's going to do that, then I'm just going to use Ryan Hall, y'all. Because Ryan Hall y'all will use the actual name of the storm. Tell Bill Beck not to get lazy. Gotcha. All right. I'm on it.

I'll tell him. He's listening. I'm going to just do this really quick. Do you know who Ken Paxton is? It sounds familiar. He's running for Senate in Texas. Okay. He's running against a guy I like a lot.

Tell where he go, right? And he's had some scandal in his thing, including he cheated on his wife while he was the attorney general. His wife left him and sued him. Okay. All right. And now he's with the woman that he cheated on it with. She made a campaign ad this week for him.

She's still in the lawsuit with him. The ex-wife made a campaign ad for him that said, Positive one. It essentially was like, look, even if I don't like him we need to just go ahead and vote for it would you do that it seems weird also I don't trust her

I don't believe her how much did she get paid to do this would you would you do that if you had a significant other that cheated on you publicly left you for another person and you were then involved in some sort of thing

would you then go but yeah go ahead and vote for it easy answer go get your new person you like them so much have them make your damn commercial well she too is a politician so she's a republican politician so she's kind of saying like look we get it he's the worst but we got to win

my first call is to tell erico how can I help your campaign let me do an ad for you that's what I'm doing vengeful also what are you doing Friday night you free you want to get drinks oh you think that would be interesting if she's show because he's single she showed up with him even better

there we go that would be interesting that would be like a whole that'd be a television show that's the move that's the move not endorsed further endorsing him just go out with the opponent

you've heard me say I've told my boys all growing up if a girl breaks your heart you start dating her best friend you have said that and that's horrible advice you've given that advice for years it's great advice

it's terrible advice that's what this lady needs to do she needs to go to Telarico do you really tell your kids that oh yeah yeah I told all three of them This is not KSR's advice. It's just a record.

That is not my advice. My advice is the opposite. Lex, go ahead, Lex. Okay, so I've got two comparisons with the football. I'm sorry, with the basketball. The guy just asked, what is LSU? Yes. In my lifetime, since 1989, UK basketball is LSU football.

Yeah, but we're too good historically. LSU's been good historically, but whatever you want to put Kentucky, they're either, I mean, you can put them as Alabama, you can put them as Notre Dame, you can put them as Ohio State, but they're not LSU. The LSU is one sort of notch below. I know, but you're starting in 1989. You're starting in 1989. This goes back throughout history. Well, that was the question. If we're talking about, if we're talking about history, Alabama, I'm just saying in my lifetime. Yeah, we might be else. We're talking about history. And then the other can.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. The other, oh, but what a... The other comparison is, I think, Shane Beamer is Mark Pope. Appreciate the call. He's just being a hater. Although, I'm a hope you're wrong about the Shane Beamer. Somebody says Louisville. That's not a horrible comparison, actually.

LSU is Louisville. Historically good throughout history. It's had moments of being really, really good, passionate fans, scandal plagued. Moments of scandal. Yeah. That's not a terrible one. I like that one actually better than Michigan.

That's not, I mean, that's not a terrible one. Casey, got about 30 seconds. Go. Hey, guys, I'm taking my son to his first game on Saturday, and I was just wondering what your old's memories was from your first game. And that's all I had. Have a great day, guys. The first game, I appreciate the call.

First game I remember was we went to Tennessee and I watched my mom try to scalp tickets. And she was really bad. and I knew she was getting, even as like a seven-year-old, I knew she was getting scammed. And we ended up like in the third row and she paid like way too much. But she was so happy that I was like, that's so sweet mom. But like as soon as my mom walked up, the scalp versus like got her. They targeted her?

Yeah. I mean, she's walking up with her seven-year-old son on her hand. Dressed in Kentucky stuff. And we had made our way to Knox and she ain't going home without tickets. I got her. Reel her in. Got her. That's my first memory.

Storz. Go ahead, Storz. Hey, hey, I'm calling from Gulf Breeze, and the crosshairs of this storm is coming right through the center of my house. So I'll be safe.

Well, you guys are close on the last one. It's four syllables. The third one, you got to kind of draw that fourth syllable down, like Louisville. It's Isaiah. Isayez.

Isayas. That's how they want us to say. There you go. Issaïs. Dude, my Latino friend on Monday explained it to me because I want to know what storm is hitting me. So that is how it said. Isaias?

All right. Sounds a little, I appreciate that. Sounds a little too happy for the devastation that's coming, though. Yeah, that sounds like a party. Yeah, it sounds like you're going to the Isayas party. Yeah. You can't say I'm smiling, really.

but you can't do that because it's going to be a very bad hurricane unless it works in our lives and things aside unless it works in our favor Saturday for the football game put the damage aside put the danger aside if we win do we like does then isaias become best hurricane as long as there's not just tragedy in lexington named esai yes maybe maybe if we get just the right amount of rain to slow down Levin. It needs to be, it can't be too tragic. Let's say Levin has five fumbles because it rained and there's no tragedy. We are pro. You say yes. Yes. If that happens.

Yes. I like it. Good to see you all. Welcome back. Welcome back. We are at Don. We're going to do cover zero here in 40 minutes. We're going to type cover zero here in 40 minutes. And then tomorrow we're at Don Franklin, Buick on Richmond Road. Duke GMC on Richmond Road. Yes. Sounds good. And Ryan's going to bring his picture. with Mike Johnson. Nobody's contacted me yet.

Yeah. I keep checking. Republicans don't know your number. Oh, yes, they do. We'll see you later.
