By the way, they caught the wallaby. They did catch the wallaby. They caught the wallaby. in Bell County, which is nice. So it made it to Bell County? No, no, no, no. It was in Harrogate. I'm just shorting it.

But they, I said the picture to Max. He was very happy that one of his people had come here with him. He said that's a beautiful animal. But they caught it. It was apparently someone's pet. They had a pet wallaby. And I guess that's legal in Tennessee? I guess they were bringing it to LMU because there's a vet school,

maybe to get the wallaby worked on and it got away from it. And so it ended up on campus. and there were pictures. There's pictures on Facebook of it going all over campus, and then they caught it. Do we know exactly how they caught it? Because that's what I'm fascinated by. Did they, like, surround it, tackle it?

I don't know how they catch all the other. I mean, did they sedate it maybe? Drinkly. DART. Yeah. I mean, I don't know what they did. So I'm not, but I didn't want people to know that it had been captured, and everything is okay, right?

You think you're walking to class at LMU and there's a wall to be bouncing around the. Yeah, that would be. kind of cool, though, at LMU. You know, LMU's grown and growing a lot. You never know. Maybe they're wallabies and kangaroos. Every time you drive us past LMU, I am blown away that camp is how it's grown.

It's grown a ton. So, all right, a couple things. First of all, our show tomorrow is that whiskey thief. Hope to see everybody there. It's a great. It's probably one of the better remotes because you get to drink bourbon. They give you bourbon, which we don't do it. A lot of the other remotes, Drew, you get to do.

do that tomorrow. Bourbon glasses, if you're one of the early arrivers that have KSR on them. It's 283 Crab Orchard Road. It's a little off the path a bit there in Franklin County, so punch that in your GPS. But always a good time. I'm looking forward to getting out there. Yes, I am as well. And then the Super Bowl catering, just remember it is now on the website.

I clicked out the link. It's at KSbar and grill.com, but it's now on the website, and you can get it, your wings, all that, just place your order on the website so it'll be ready for you so you can come and pick it up for the Super Bowl. And we've already, you know how good our wings are. Now, here's an opportunity now you can have your own Super Bowl party and pimp it out with our wings. It's a great idea. Pimp it out.

Are you going to have a Super Bowl party? Still not sure yet. I got a lot going on on Sunday. What do you have going on? Well, Josiah flies back at 3 o'clock, and then he's going down to see his mom this weekend. And then he's got, as soon as he gets back, he's got seven on seven. practice is starting in western hills in frankfort so when i get back home probably the super bowl will just be starting well i you know i'll what if i bring our wings that's a good idea so

you don't have to cook you can take my dogs out take care of them while i'm not going to happen change this battery my smoke detector while i'm gone yeah i mean you know i i my rule for coming your house is you have to put your dogs up yes or at least and i try to no you do a good job yeah i think i told you i lost a friendship over asking somebody to put their dog job. But you've never, you've never done that to me and I appreciate it. Well, you got to understand some, dog just aren't for some people. You got to understand that. Yes, me being one of us. You're one of them. There's a new Fade This podcast, which Drew and I did yesterday. Don't listen to it for sports because we did very little. Although I like our

Super Bowl picks. Now, the other, the analysis maybe gets into the weeds a little bit, but I like that the team we took. Yeah. Well, we won't give you the team. You do a lot of pro beds too. We did some. Yeah. So I want to tell you before we get back to phones, what I'm a little, I've decided I'm going to do this year. I'm going to try to get in to UK baseball.

Yeah. We have a good team. Yes. D1Baseball.com says we are a sleeper to win the SEC. Apparently we've got three really good pitchers, starting pitchers. We got a good lineup. I don't even know anyone's name, but I had fun last year at the regional or whatever. And we've got a good team.

Minji-owned seems kind of more locked in. So I'm going to try. We apparently all the good teams in the SEC come here for series this year. So like Tennessee comes here, Vandy comes here, South Carolina comes here. So like we get all, a lot of those good teams coming here. So I'm going to, I'm going to try to really get into you. I'm not going to say we're going to analyze it on this show. But I'm going to personally try to follow the team.

They play their first series next weekend. at somewhere. It's in South Carolina, something like that. I'm the same way. In fact, I've been meaning to do this already, but I want to see if season tickets are even available. I have that on my to-do list soon to see. I want, you know, we get media.

We go to sitting on press row. I want baseball to be like, I'm giving money. I'm a fan, something I could do with my dad. I'm looking to really get into this season because I went to more games last year than ever before, even before the postseason when they went on the run. I went to just some random four o'clock sitting by myself and even had fun doing that.

So I'm really looking forward to another summer. When this new stadium open, we weren't good for the first few years. But now we've got this new nice stadium. We've got a team that is potentially good. So I'm in a, they have the best uniforms in UK athletics. They do. They're sweet. They are.

They are the best uniforms in UK athletics. So I'm going to try Shannon to get into UK baseball and I hope you will join me. I would love to come see a game. I haven't been to the new park yet, so I'm way behind. But, yeah, looking forward to the season coming up with Mingeo and again. Two preseason all-Americans were named yesterday. Mason Moore, who had a great postseason pitching. And then Dominic Neiman, I believe, is how you pronounce it.

Okay. So there's two guys for you. I've heard of Mason Moore. Mason Moore had a big year last year. He's on the Kentucky rain water bottles. So, yeah, yeah, everybody's going to know him. So that's, yes. Can we bring back Motivation Monday with Mingione?

I would love that because we should have him on as like a preseason. thing, and then we'll see if he's got some good stuff to say. You know, we've talked about this. When they get on in a postseason run and they're playing well, the home crowds at when the old ballpark and this ballpark, it's a lot of fun. People come and droves to celebrate and help the team on. All right.

Now, one more thing before we go to the phones. I, you know, sometimes I get on the TikTok. And I don't know how they find things that they think I would. like. But they do a pretty good job of it. I'm not going to lie. The only thing I wish they would give me less of are Joe Rogan podcast. There were like 50 Joe Rogan Aaron Rogers clips yesterday.

I didn't need those. But for the most part, when they put something with me, they're pretty good at realizing that I would like it. They're on this thing where they've started putting it on for me the most dangerous places in America stuff. Not in America, in the world. Excuse me. Yeah.

So they'll show, like, people go into these places. And so they, there was a thing the other day that said, what is the most dangerous place in the world? And I want you to think about what would be the most dangerous place in the world? Do you know? Well, I would, I really thought like Bosnia, it's a war-torn country right now. They haven't been at war in Bosnia in a long time. I don't think.

That's what I would say. A war country. But, like, I could be wrong. I'm not trying to, but I think the Bosnian War was in the 90s. I live in the 90s. It's a great decade. Like right now, they're from pretty obvious wars, like in Ukraine. Yeah.

Or in Ukraine and in, like, Israel. But the most dangerous place in the world that they say, and I've now become fascinated, according to all these TikTok accounts, which may be wrong, is Johannesburg, South Africa. And the story in Johannesburg is if you go, Shannon, you're not supposed to walk. anywhere. Anywhere. Like anywhere. Not even outside.

This is what these things say. So then I got started down the rabbit hole of why is Johanus so dangerous? I went to a Reddit thread and it was called solo travel. And somebody had started a where should you not travel by yourself? And there were 1,500 comments, probably 13 of 100 of which were Johannesburg. Really? they all were Johannesburg. And so now, Drew, I am kind of like, we're going fascinating.

So apparently, though, to go to Africa, most places in Southern Africa, if you want to go, you have to fly through Johannesburg, right? Because that's the main airport in the southern part of Africa. But they say, again, in these accounts, that it's so dangerous that literally you should get in your taxi or Uber at the airport, have them drop you off at the hotel and don't stop anywhere. And if you want to go to a restaurant, get in the taxi, go to the restaurant, and there will be people waiting for you at the taxi stand to escort you inside. And Shannon, I'm sure it's an exaggeration.

But now I'm like, did you know this? I want to know what's going on there. Well, apparently the story is that people, they'll just kidnap you. Well, geez. Yeah. Well, I'd be packing, I think, if I were there. But had you heard any of this? I'd not heard this.

But now if you go look, all of these places, it wasn't just these random TikTok accounts. All of these places say Johannesburg. Wow. And the number one thing is don't walk. They're like, if you stay in cars, you'll be fine. But the moment you start walking, it's almost like the moment you start, you just go one block in your kid. Somebody waiting to throw a pillowcase over your head and throw you in the back of the car. and throw you in the back of a van immediately.

So, well, hearing that, if my employer was sending me to Johannesburg, I'm like, I quit. I ain't going. I'm not going there. There was one guy on the Reddit thread that said if you're going to anywhere in Southern Africa and you fly through Johannesburg, don't leave the airport. Even if it means you sleeping on the floor until you get your connectors, stay in the airport. Wow. I'm proud of you for going to Reddit, first of all. That's where all the knowledge is on Reddit.

But if you're Johannesburg, if this is kind of become a comment, how we not clean the something. It's got to be killing their tourism. Like, I'd always heard that, like, you know, Juarez, parts of Mexico, or Columbia, or you know, parts of the Middle East. Like, I'd hurt, but, like, had you heard this?

No, not at all. So that then led me to the last thing. I got on the State Department's website and the places that they tell you as Americans not to go. There's a lot of places. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think I don't think

I realized, look who it is. Don Lane is in. Speaking of the legendary Transylvania teams, look at Don Lane in the house. Here he is. Hang on right there. Now we'll talk to you in just a second. Can you stay just a second?

I understand. We're on the radio right now. Give me just one second, okay? So anyway, the Johannesburg, can you believe it? You know, you think of there's some celebrities from there and I don't know a lot about it, but I I kind of had it in my mind is a nice place.

Obviously not. Not with that crime rate. So start down that rabbit hole and you'll see what I'm saying. Well, now you do got me curious. What are the other places they're telling Americans to stay away from? There's a ton of them. Every country you go to, they have a travel warning, including like normal countries. It'll just be like use caution.

But there's, you know, there's four levels of travel warnings for Americans. Level one is just use caution. And that's almost every country in the world. Level two is, hey, be especially careful here. Three is like, all right, know why you're going. And then four is like, don't go no matter what. And there are like 15 or 20 countries that are don't go no matter what. I didn't even know this website.

I didn't either. Now I want to know what they are. Go look at it. It's fascinating. You go down this rabbit hole, though. Just remember who told you to watch out. Who's next shit? Court.

Court. How are you, court? Hey, doing pretty good. How y'all doing it? Doing good. I just wanted to say yesterday's show where y'all were talking about Big Z and him going down the court and doing funny things and the way you were saying that he was like yourself playing in high school and you were waving up to your mom. Yes, he does that. I'm telling you just because that was comedy.

So every time he's going to be on the court now, I'm going to be up. My eyes are going to be fixed to him. Just seeing. And so do you remember that point? player at Kentucky that sort of did something. He got excited. He slammed the ball down. He got the technical fast.

Isaac Humphreys, yeah, from Australia. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah, no, that was not good. They should have never gotten that technical. But yes, nobody's happier to play basketball than it's Big Z. I appreciate the call.

He has a book, The Lane Way.

50 years in basketball, family faith, and 50 years in basketball. Great to see you, coach. Always sport in Transylvania. Yep. and both the girls and boys team really good. How many games in a row of the girls won? 52, 55 games in a row. When do they play the hard teams?

Yeah, no kidding. Hopefully we can get to another national championship. Who's up next, Shannon? Let's go to Joseph. Joseph, how are you, Joseph? I'm good, Matt. So I was looking at standings in the SEC, and I was thinking that we screwed ourselves so bad

that we would have to went out in the conference to win it at a we put this on our shelves if we had won the Florida in the A&M game we would still have a chance and it's disappointing that we're at this point again no I mean we're not going to win the to win the conference you're right we'd have to win I don't know if we'd have to win out but we probably could only lose one more and then the problem is the teams that we would probably tie with we might not have the tie breaker with them I mean, we have to, if you're going to If you really want to hold on to a shred of hope,

you've got to beat Auburn a week from Saturday. That's going to be the start of it, and that's going to be very hard to do. And you're probably going to have to win at Tennessee because not only do you need to beat them, if you don't beat them down there, they got the tiebreaker on you. So you'd need to beat them by two games,

and that's probably not going to happen. So, you know, they've made it to where if they want to have any shot at the conference, they'll have to win at Auburn and at Tennessee, and that's going to be hard to do. But it is what it is. We had a shot. I mean, the game that ruined the conference for us was Florida at home.

I mean, that was the one. If you want to win the conference, you can't lose that one. I'm like what Drew said. I've almost conceded to the fact that they're not going to win the conference tournament. I'm now just hoping they don't play on Thursday at the SEC tournament. Win enough, figure out a way to at least get that first round by in the SEC tournament. Like I said, I've already kind of accepted that one in my brain. I looked at Auburn tickets last night because I'm planning to go to that.

that place, if ticket prices are any indication, that place is good. I was looking at single tickets. I want to sit by myself in the middle of orange wearing blue, and I couldn't find one under a thousand that's a good seat for a single. I mean, Nate, well, first of all, it's a small gym. Yeah. Secondly, you know, it's us, and they are rolling.

I mean, they had a little bit of a bumpy start. They and Alabama and then kind of hitting their stride. I mean, Auburn right now in the Kim Poms, what, fourth, fifth? I mean, like, they're one of the best. They can easily get a one seat. Oh, yeah, and I think they're that type of team that's, they're not going to fold. They're the team to beat right now. There's no doubt.

They're fourth, Tennessee, fifth, Alabama, seventh, and these are the teams are trying to catch. And we still play all right. We need to catch South Carolina. We still. Yeah, we, we, yeah, fourth, fifth, and seventh in the Kim, POM. But, you know, I mean, it's good for us that the conference's good. It's bad for us that the teams we played out of conference

have been so bad. I mean, I went and looked. You remember we said St. Joe's, we think St. Joe's will be really good. They're like sixth in the A-10. UNC Wilmington is second in their conference, so they're not being bad, but they're not winning their conference.

Stone Hill is the third worst team in the country. Miami is 500 in a terrible ACC. Louisville is the worst team that has ever been created, although they did kind of get screwed last. I mean, that was a, that was not a goaltint. It was the same situation as us. They call a goal 10. It's not a goal 10.

Syracuse probably gets the putback. And knowing that, they went ahead and left at a goaltent, even though it was almost certainly not a goal 10, because they didn't seem to want Syracuse to get screwed over by it. I watched that, and I'm not trying to pile on Kenny here, but he acted like, who will, called the goaltending. I couldn't believe he didn't put up a fight on that. Even in real time, it didn't look like a goaltending.

Then the replay seemed to confirm it. I would have had my jacket thrown off and in somebody's face putting up a fight for that. And they had a perfect camera angle to show it wasn't a goaltent. I mean, they were right behind the basket. Like, you couldn't have had a better camera angle, and it was clear it wasn't a goaltent, and they still called it that anyway. I thought they changed the rule out of the Kentucky game about that.

Did they not? Where they could stop and go back and review. view and take it off or something? What? After the Kentucky goaltending thing happened, didn't they change the rules? Yeah, but we had this happen to us just two weeks ago. I thought you talked about what happened when they changed the rule. I know, but what happened to us just happened to them?

So what happened to us two weeks ago was the exact same play. Now, in that scenario, Syracuse was us. Syracuse, they called a goaltin, it didn't happen, but Syracuse would have. had the ball to score. In this case, the referees just left it as a goaltint, even though it clearly wasn't, I think because they didn't want to screw over Syracuse in it, right? Yeah, it was like, I believe Hugo had the wide open dunk when they blew it dead. It was the same for Syracuse.

That guy, there's no one around them. It was either a and M or South Carolina. It was one of those two games, but that was the same thing. Who's next? Johnny Versace. Johnny Versace, how are you? Hey, Matt. You know, I'm the ultimate optimistic fan, and so it's hard for me to get really upset with Cal, although I'm kind of there.

But at the same time, I look at that bench, and there are literally seven coaches. And it's astonishing to me some of the just preparation misses that we're having, the misses on defense, you know, slow starts. I mean, I just can't believe that seven individuals can't be better at some of those things. Well, I mean, you know, I won't ask. I won't put Don on the spot here to talk about any coaching thing. But, you know, they did say, I did like when Cal said this yesterday. Cal goes, he was talking about the zone. And he said something to the zone on the inbound plays.

And he said something to the effect of, well, what we were doing would work if they'd execute it. But they didn't. So finally we had to go zone. And I was like, yes. You know what I mean? I mean, like, you know, Don, I'm sure you had, Coach Lane had perfect plays that he wanted to run. But if they can't run it, they can't run it, right? And then you just have to figure something else out, Drew, you know?

I'm sorry, you'd think he would come up with that the first or second time they got beat on a play. Not the way to wait until the fifth or sixth time they get beat free finally makes a change. But when they went zone in that last game, no way up. That's right. You know, so it ended up, you know, that probably we should have done maybe a little bit earlier. Tennessee was rock bottom for the baseline and bounce. I mean, like I said yesterday, it looked like they were in a layup line, just going up and getting free dunks and layups.

Dunks, not layups, dunks. You could tell in his press conference. He is very frustrated, though. He said something to the effect of, yeah, just call me the worst coach in the world and move on. No one's calling him the worst coach. No one. No one. I'm just saying, you know, well, let's just play more like we did against me.

We got a good chance. Canzag at home, Ole Miss at home, those are games. If you're going to do anything in the tournament, you've got to win those games. at home. We'll take a break. We're right back. We are here at KS. Bar and Grill. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J. He'll make them pay.

I just made a mistake, Shannon. I got just screwed up, and I realized it after I hung up.

What happened? So during that break, my phone rang three straight times with a number I didn't know. Yeah. First time, let it go to voicemail. Second time, let it go to voicemail. You see it a third time, you're like, oh, is something wrong? I mean, somebody calls you three straight times. Right?

You got to answer it. I answer, and I go, hello? And they're like, is this Matt? And I say yes. And they go, I have Chad on the phone for you. And I'm like, I can't do this right now. I'm on the radio. And they're like, yes, I have Chad.

We have Chad Gable. And I was like, yeah, I'm sorry, I can't do it right now. I don't know what you're talking about. Now hang up. And then I realize, I think we were supposed to have Chad Gable's a WWA E wrestler. And I think he was supposed to come on here to promote Monday Night Raw. Oh, no. Oh, that's what it was.

Oh, no. Chad Gable got the news. This guy says he can't do it right now. No, I acted like I didn't even know who he was. And then I hung up. Oh, no. And I was like, oh, wait a minute. That's Chad Gable, the wrestler.

And he was going to come on here to promote Monday Night Raw. And on their end, you're going, I'm on the radio. And they're probably thinking, we know that's why we're calling to be on the radio. And I'm sitting there going, I'm on the radio, man. I can't do this right now. And he's like, exactly. You said that multiple times. I did.

I said over and over. I'm on the radio and I can't do this right now. And he was like, yeah, we're going to be on the radio. I mean, should we call back? I tried to call him back and then they didn't answer because they're probably like, who is this guy? I moved on to somebody else because they have multiple radio stations. Yeah, they're doing a bunch of them and I just was like, no, Chad Gable,

and I know who Chad Gable is. Why didn't it register to me? Well, you were expecting our truth, weren't you, to be fair? Well, he was supposed to come last week. He never called. So that's why I kind of forgot we were doing this. You thought that was just a random person named Chad? No, I thought there was, here's what I thought.

I thought he was saying that I had agreed to go on a guy named Chad Gables radio show. And that was the producer that was calling me to come on the show. And I was like, I don't have time to go on Chad Gables radio show. I'm on my radio show. I've had an awkward moment like that before. Yeah. Now, I mean, I feel really stupid. And the people at Ruperina are going to be like, I thought you wanted Chad.

Gable. And the person you talked to is probably still very confused that you kept saying we're on the radio. I did just keep going. Man, I'm on the radio. And they were calling about the radio. We know. That's why we want to come on. And it was perfect timing.

They talked to him during the commercial breaks. He thought this is a happy to be a producer. So I'm sorry to Guy and Chad Gable. I have secondhand anxiety. Sorry. Poor Don Lane has anxiety. He didn't even hear the call. He was like, Chad.

Anyway, Monday Night Rawls coming up Monday. Monday. We were supposed to promote it. Chad Gable, I'm sure, would have had good things to say. That's why we're the number one show right there. That level of production. Who's up next time? Yeah, well, I don't know why he called my cell phone, but nevertheless. All right.

Okay, go ahead. Jacob. Jacob. Go ahead, Jacob. Hey, what's going on, Matt? First time, long time. Who are? What's up? I just had a few things to say.

I mean, I guess I got a lot of things to say because I've been listening for so long. First off, did you guys know that Draft King? It's not actually Draft Kings, but if you use your credit card through Draft Kings, you get like a $5 charge each time that you deposit money. Yeah, that's your credit card. I don't ever, I never. Yeah, but I just wondered if people knew that. Well, but it's not everybody's credit card.

I think it's like your credit card. That's like something like between you and your credit card company. Yeah, yeah, I go through fifth third. and I just thought that was weird because, like, I usually just do five- You don't have to talk to them about that. I don't think I've- I do VINBO.

Yeah, I do, I think I do like direct deposit, so I don't have to deal with that. But anyway, what else you got? Oh, everybody's worried about the cats. And I mean, I don't know, I always got high hopes. Probably not the best thing to do, but I don't know.

I got faith in them. They're just young, and then people, people are talking about cow, and I don't know. I want to root for cow. because he's been here for so long. And I feel like he's doing a good job coaching. It's just when you got, what, eight, seven freshmen trying to come in.

Yeah, but you know what? Okay, so let me say, first of all, I root for, not only do, I root for Cal, I root for Kentucky, and I'm still optimistic and positive. I am kind of done with the their young excuse. First of all, I don't think they're that young. We have two fifth-year seniors that start. We play two sophomores, significant. minutes, which we've almost never had guys that don't put that to the side, though.

When you make the decision to recruit all freshmen, you can't then, when it gets to crunch time, say, well, they're young. Well, we're recruiting guys who are only going to be here one year. So, yeah, they're young, but that's what the decision that you have made is to have young teams. I mean, I think that's a decent excuse in December, but by the time you get to mid-February, if they're too young, then you need to not recruit young people, right? So I just, I don't, I don't, A, don't think we're that young this year, relatively speaking, and B, I just don't accept that when you get to mid-February. Well, they're young. Yeah, that makes sense. Do you think

that it hurts us that we're trying to spread our planes? time out too much. I do. I appreciate the call. Cal said at the end of last game, he's going to play Ryan every one in the first half and then pick seven people to play in the second half. Do you like that strategy? I do. And we've seen them have maybe some of their best success here lately when he shortens the lineup a little bit, the rotation a little bit. I do say they need DJ back. I really want, they're going to need him back sooner than later. With the exception of 2015, which was obviously an absurdly talented roster, if you look at Cal's three best teams, which were 2010,

2012, and 2017. He basically played six guys, sometimes seven. Yeah, yeah. That was his rock. He basically played six, sometimes seven. National Championship game, he played six. Wilcher was kind of seven. 2017, he played six.

Basically the starters and Derek Willis, Marcus Lee, some small minutes, right? 2010, he played the starters, and, like, Darnel Dodson. Daniel Orton. And Daniel Wharton, and that was it. So I do think he's going to have to get, Drew, to a small group. Because his bet, even the, even the platoon team, in those last few games, he was running with about seven.

He wasn't playing everybody. And he said recently that if you're not playing defense, it doesn't matter what your name is, you're done getting on the floor. And this is the time to do that. Now, we'll see if he does. Who are the seven, though? Let's say he goes to seven. who are let's the no-brainers are Antonio Reeves is one of them

Dillingham's one, Wagner's one Those are four Is that fair? Yep Who are the other three? Mitchell, if we get him healthy and back to what he was Yes

Okay Who are the other two? He was great just until a few weeks ago I'd like to do lately I think I do He's very aggressive Tuesday night So that means only one Of Bradshaw or Hugo

And I'm saying all these things Knowing that this is going to be an issue because two of those are going to play. And that's not even including Z. And that's not including Justin Edwards, who you know he wants to play. So I think it's hard to get. Here's what I worry.

It's going to be like seven, and one of those four guards is not going to be in the list, which is not. We can't do that. We can't do that. There are four best players are guards. Do you agree with that? Yes.

You got to go with it. We talked about those, the seven-footers just play the one that's playing well that night. You don't have to rotate them and give them a bunch of minutes. Just find the one that's going to bring it that night like Z played well against Vandy, okay? Maybe the next game back to Ugo and Ogo will play like he did against Florida. Do you think you could play? They have done this almost never.

I don't even know if they've done it more than a handful of minutes. But do you think you could play all four of those guards? It feels so weird that one of them is always on the bench when they all are our best players. It's very small. and rebounding is already an issue. And I like having one on the bench to come in, energetic to spell one of the others. But I wouldn't have seen it more than we have. Maybe on offense, defense plays or something like that.

Maybe it depends on the matchup, who we're playing. You know, we play a team like Auburn. I don't think you can do that. No, you can't. But you could do it against Alabama. Maybe against Alabama, you could. Maybe even against, well, Tennessee did hurt us down low some. So maybe not them.

I don't know. Some size. Yeah. I don't know if you want to wait. until after the break, but it's a fun update to our Bracketology game that we played earlier. All right, we'll do it after the break. A Masterson Station, guess what? What? Tell me about it. Clark's Pumpin Shop has a new

location on, you picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille Drive. Yes, they do. Stop in for all your favorite drinks and snacks and check out Clark's Cafe. They have sausage, egg and cheese, and bacon, egg, and cheese, and sausage biscuits to go. Sausage on here twice. Avoid the fast food madness and visit Clark's Pump, Pump and Shop. I was at the one on Winchester Road last night. That's the one I go to.

Very nice. Got a new hangar 54 pizza? That's right. Clark's Pump and Shop serves the freshest coffee and the best breakfast, and you can use your app and get up to five cents per gallon on Phillips. It's Clark's Pump and Shopping Shop. Return, refresh, and refuel. We'll take a break. Be right back. KS.R. To talk to Matt Jones and the crew, call the Clark's Pumping Shop phone line at 859-9-280-2287 or 1-800-606. and send us the Kentucky brandit tweet of the day by tweeting Matt at KY Sports Radio. Four hungry children and a crop in the field. Yes, very sad song.

Sad song also makes me think of Darrell Waltrip in NASCAR. Every time a wheel would fall off a car in a race and start rolling down the road, he'd sing, you fict a fine time to leave me loose wheel. And every single time he did it, it would make me laugh just like it made you. He would sing it. He'd go, you picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel, and it would just show it rolling down the thing. He ain't wrong. That's a bad time.

All right. So you all both, Shannon, this is rare where they both look at me and say, I got something I want to say. I'm very excited. Okay, so this is rare. This happens. Ryan, what is your thing you want to say? Well, I hate to disagree with our copywriters for your Clark's Pumpin Shop ad, but that new one in Masterson Station is not on Lucille.

It's not even close to Lucille. It's at the corner of Citation and Sandersville Road. Lucille's probably two blocks away. Are you going to argue that Clark's Pumpin Shop doesn't know where its own station is? I'm not going to blame Clark's Pumbershop. I'm going to blame your copyright. So you're saying that Clark's Pumman Shop says their location is on Lucille, and you're going to say that their own place is not where they say it.

Absolutely 100% is not. Do you believe Ryan or do you believe Clark's Puppet Shop? I believe Ryan because I think it's very possible that whoever wrote that copy doesn't even live in Kentucky. How could they not know where their own station is? It's at the corner of Citation and Sandersville Road. Bingo. So you're going to put all your credibility on it's not on Lucille?

I'm betting my laneway new book on this possibility. In that part of town, I wouldn't doubt, Ryan. On the text machine, 772-745254. Is Clark's puppet shop on Lucille and Ryan is wrong? or should I trust Ryan on this? I will walk to it if somebody tries to tell me, prove to me it's on Lucille, because it is not.

What if it's a really big Clark's pumping shop? Yeah, what if it's like? I've been to this Clark Pumpin Shop. It's not on Lucille. But it's on the ads as it's on Lucille. You can walk to it from my house. It is not on Lucille. They made a mistake.

All right. I'll let the people decide. What is your thing, Drew? Well, we played the Bracketology game earlier. We were in Spokane with Sanford. in Dayton, but that has already changed. And I would like to give you the new scenario. New scenario.

Joe Lannardi, he didn't put out a whole bracket, but he announced that he flipped South Carolina and Kentucky on the bracket you saw. So I'm just going to go to what that would be. Kentucky is now a six-seed. Oh, no. We're in Pittsburgh. We like Pittsburgh. First round game, Indiana State.

Oh, that is that sound. This is a guy with the guy. Cream Abdul-Jabbar is the first round of points. Larry Blurie. So would you rather have Samford or Indiana State's good? Like, I mean, I think they would struggle with us because they'd have a hard time athletically guarding us, but that dude's good. Like, they're like 19 and 3 or something.

And then you would get Wisconsin in the second round. Wisconsin is round two. But they've lost three in a row. They're struggling right now. I still would much prefer Sanford and Dayton than Indiana State. I don't even care who's on their team. I don't want that logo anywhere near me when the calendar hits March. Dude, I cannot believe the idea that they would have to play Indiana State.

Was it Robbie Avala? Avela. Avela. College Yokic. So we went from Sanford Dayton to our favorite non-Kentucky player in our Wisconsin. I'm taking it. I want that. I want that. All right, here we go. You said you want that?

Yeah, I want no part of that. Larry Bird may come to the game. One person writes, Ryan is correct, Matt. You should listen to him. The next person, Clark. is on Lucille. Ryan is thinking of Marathon that's on Citation in Sandersville. No.

It's a Clark's pumping shop at Citation, Sandersville. It may be a marathon, but it's a Clark's pumping shop. I work for the city. One person writes, there is one where Ryan said, but there's a new one on Lucille. No, there's not. No, there's not. Ryan versus Clark's pumping. up. This is his backyard. Wait a minute.

Oh. Wait a minute. The new Ramsey's has a Clark's pump-a-shop under construction. That may be, that may technically be Lucille. Oh, you were wrong. After all of that. That poor copywriter he called out. He literally called out a company, Shannon.

And I knew to trust Clark. I mean, he knows how to pump and shop. And you called him out. Would you like to apologize? I do want to apologize. I think that new one by the Ramses, I think that technically is still Lucille. So I think maybe that's the one they're talking about, even though I don't know if it's open yet, but the one on Sandersville and Citation is open because I stop here.

You picked a fine time to leave her, Lucille. How did you get that wrong? I think that's right. I think that's what they're talking about. When Berson writes, they're within a mile of one another. I can see how Ryan made a mistake, but he owes Clark's puppet shop for apology. I'm looking at the maps. I see how you made the mistake.

too in there is the goal google says hey look at this clark's pumping shop right here on lucille leicown road all right well we we have educated america here today you put all your credibility on this i did i think i himself's going to walk to it it's a long walk i think chanin does he not have to walk i can't do it does yeah no not today all right i'll tell you what

you're walking to lucille lucille from here to the lucille but you are going to the clark's pumping shop and you are going to walk How long do you think it would take him to walk from here to Lees Town and Lucille? I was going to make him do it from a house. That's still a walk. Yeah, if I was thinking from my house also, it's not that bad. It's still ways. I don't know.

Two miles? Three miles? Let's look. Since it's probably, we could have checked all this. I'm on maps right now, so I have the answer. From right here it is. Clark's pumping shop. 4.7 miles.

4.7 miles. You got it, Ryan. Shannon walked 50. You'll start the show. Drew and I, stay here and you will call from the road and you will walk and finish the show at Clark's Pumping Shop. Okay.

Oh, yeah, it's only two and a half from your house. No, you're walking from here. Oh, I think my house is much better. No, you're walking from here. We'll do this. Shannon, write it down so I don't forget. Oh, you'll forget. That should be about two hours, you know, walk two miles an hour, right?

That's exactly right. I'm writing it right here. You're going to do it the day we play LSU on the 21st. Ryan. Weather permitting. Nope. Think about that. When you get there, you can pump and shop.

I can. Wednesday the 21st, you're walking. Which one of you crazy guys are going to come pick me up so I don't have to walk to my house after I walk there? Just keep walking. We'll call Uber. All right, draft kings real quick. It's our draft king segment of the day.

Our game of the day, Memphis at Temple. Memphis is six and a half point favorite. They've lost five of their last six and are now on the bubble after starting something like 13 and 1, Memphis at Temple, who you got? I like Temple. You know, Lamont Barnes from UHA went to Temple in the late 90s, so I'm going Temple. Okay. On top of their losing streak, they barely beat a bad Wichita.

So I'm going to think Memphis just has issues, and this keeps spiraling on down throughout the rest of the season. Yeah, I'm going to take Temple. The owls, they're 8 and 14, but I think they'll be, well, I think I'll cover the 6. That's what me cover, man. What do you got, Shannon? I'll take Temple. They're the home team. They, what, six and a half you said?

I'm going to take the six and a half in Temple. All right. Who's next? We don't have time. The show is over. Oh. Well, yeah, it is. I enjoyed it.

We'll see you tomorrow at Whiskey Thief. Tomorrow we will be at Whiskey Thief. Nice to see Don Lane. Nice to see you, Ryan, and your future walk to Clark's Puppet Shop. Come on out to KSmart tonight and have dinner. We will see you at Whiskey Thief tomorrow. This has been Kentucky Sports Radio. Another pie.
