Welcome to Hour 2 of Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now, here's Matt Jones. Welcome back. Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-2802287. By the way, Country Boy Brewing and West 6th have taken over the KS Bar Taps today. Tap takeover.

Including they're doing a collaboration, probably the two best or best-known breweries in Kentucky, in Lexington, at least maybe in Kentucky, are doing a collaboration called Country Western Volume 12. We've got to try it. How about that? It's like when the macho man, Shannon, and Hulk Hogan created a team, the Mega Powers. The Mega Powers. But, you know, the Mega Powers exploded. We hope that doesn't happen before these two, though.

All that will explode are your taste bugs. That's right. Yeah. But the country boy taps are Cliff Jumper, Lemonade Logger, Super Premium Logger, Cougar Bate, Orange Creams Cider, Shotgun Wedding, Raspberry Creams, Lemon Cider, and King Me. Nice. And then West Sixth is Brewing Sunshine Wheat, Brewing IPA and Brewing Sixer. And then, of course, the collaboration.

Nice. Where it's all week. Tap takeover all week. Is it all week, Monique? All week. Yeah. But the specials are today, but it's all week. So there you go.

Very cool. You should try the collab. All right, a couple things. First of all, I want to say one sad thing. Two different people that I have worked with in the last few years, both passed away in car accidents this weekend. Extremely sad. Elena Borwick, who worked here at KS. Bar, since we opened until a couple of years ago,

died in a car wreck. Very sweet young woman. full life ahead of her. It's heartbreaking. But my prayers to her family. She was a wonderful young woman who many of you that came here had as a server for years and just an extremely sweet person and she passed away. So please everybody pray for her family and friends. She had a ton of friends in this area and then Billy Williamson I'll let you talk about we both worked with at Channel 18 died in a car accident with a drunk driver hitting him Friday, which is awful.

I worked with him, knew him okay and thought he was a wonderful guy, but you knew him very well. I think he worked at Channel 18 for something close to 25 years, and he was there when I first got there in 96, and we're all young and poor and working horrible hours. We kind of relied on each other to survive, and Billy was one of those guys that was always there for everybody. I mean, everybody. He's just a great friend. It's just very sad. He'd be, he's in his 50s now. He'd become the caretaker for his elderly parents. So now you got to worry about, you know, that with his family. So just keep them in their prayers also. Yeah. So, I mean, with both of them, I mean, both of them, just driving and one person loses control of their car, the other one is hit by a drunk driver,

just, you know, not only as you're thinking about them, but also take every second of life, don't take it for granted. Amen. Because, I mean, Elena was on her lunch break. Billy was coming home on a Friday night. Billy was just in here. You had an 18 luncheon. You had an 18th.

And it's just, it's heartbreaking. I'm back-to-back days in the state. So our prayers for all those, they're both great, great people. on a completely different note the UK baseball team gets a victory in a series over Florida Tennessee ends up losing their last game in their series so Kentucky remains in first overall place in the SEC baseball standings they will play vandy next weekend with a chance to lock up the conference for you know solo if they can do it right If they win two of three games against Vandy, they're guaranteed a share of the SEC title for only the second time in the history of the school.

And Vandy is a very beatable team. It will be right here. We'll be talking a lot about it going. But this weekend, they played crazy games. I mean, the game Friday night, they were up big, they were down big, they came back, 12-11 was what they ended up winning. Then they got blown out on Saturday. And then yesterday, up, down, up. They end up scoring four runs in the extra innings.

They win. So Kentucky is in first. They are now almost assured to host both regionals, the regular regional and the Super. So they won't have to leave Lexington to go to Omaha, which is awesome. And they're now number two in the country. Have a chance if they can beat Vandy two of three, they might be the number one overall scene in the tournament,

which is absolutely crazy for a baseball team. I don't think people saw that coming two years ago when people were wondering if Mingio would be fine. The story coming out of Florida, though, is Florida has a guy whose name is like Jack. What's his name? Winer. I would butcher it.

What? Jack Winer. Jack Winer. The two best baseball players in the country are both in the SEC. One place for Georgia, we talked about him. He, by the way, set the home run record for the non-piny bat era. Okay. You know, there was that explosive bat era.

Yeah. So take them out, he has the home run record. He and this guy for Florida are going to be the number one and two picks in the draft. Okay, and the rats have the second pick. So this dude I'm about to whine about might be a red, okay? Jack Conslier's, or what his name is. After it was over yesterday, he said he did not like Kentucky's baseball team because he didn't like their antics.

I want to read you the quote so you can see just how whiny it was in person. He says, all their non-sense. that they do. I mean, it's what they're known for. They're going to get in your head. They go to try chanting, doing all that nonsense. The fact they're allowed to do it blows my mind. Winy Little Jack upset because the Kentucky guys have fun.

I now want them to win even more because they're making the Florida Gators guys mad. And I know this guy's going to end up on the Reds. Yeah, he's very good. So, you know, that's the way it goes, but nevertheless. Caglione, I think, is his name? All right, there you go. good and he's a big baby after Kentucky went down there and took two out of three for him to say that. I know we're a little different, a little unconventional in our antics.

I saw one of our pitchers that was in the dugout just had his jersey completely unbuttoned. We do have a lot of antics. I mean, if you saw it, one dude looked like that. I mean, he literally unbuttoned his jersey had his chest out. We got the pink hats. They talk every pitch. I mean, every pitch. They don't just cheer.

they're like every single pitch. Now, you all are baseball players. I think it actually makes it fun. I'm always like, you know, they get a hit and they row their boat, and then they hit a home run and they kind of dance. I know it's not what people do in baseball. They do it in other sports, but they don't do it in baseball. Do you think, objectively, that Kentucky baseball does too much,

or do you think like me it's fun? I wish my coach would have let me do those things. That's just part of baseball, man. It's just part of being in the dugout, that camaraderie with your guys. So we didn't get to do it because our coach wouldn't let us do it. He was really an old-school guy. So you don't think there's anything wrong with? I don't think there's anything wrong with.

You know how to shut him up? You beat him whiny jack butt. If you wanted him to shut up, beat him. And he said his name was. Something like that. Shannon, what about you? I'm good with it. I mean, if the Kentucky players got his jersey unbuttoned and his chest hair is

flying in the wind. Why are they looking over there at it to begin with? Why do you care? And, you know, if you can't deal with that, then how are you going to handle things in Major League Baseball with fans? I mean, I think what annoys people about Kentucky. You know, last year, Tennessee was the team everybody thought were jerks, right? I think what annoys people about Kentucky is the constant part of it, right? Like, they're constantly making noise every single play. And I love it. They seem like they're having fun. They seem excited.

And the way they play, Drew, I think, plays into it. Because they play annoying, right? Like on any given play, they might butt. They might steal. They might do trick plays. And I think people, you know, baseball is one of these games. Everybody wants to be lazy and just, you know, pitch. You can't do that with Kentucky because you don't know what they're going to do.

And it seems like it makes the other teams mad. Very mad. They're first in the SEC and number one in RPI after the weekend. So as a Kentucky fan, I'm not going to complain about. anything they're doing because it's working. I could see why other teams would get annoyed, not to the point you're complaining about the press conference, because they are in your face the entire game. My favorite thing they do is the catcher, Devin Burks.

They like change the stuff like a pit crew, all his pads and stuff when he comes in. Oh, they do? In the dugout, they get down like a pit crew. I mean, they are just constantly doing it. Yeah, and then the whole crowd does the day. When they get the double, get the second, I don't know what you call it, but the whole crowd is starting to do that. I love that Kentucky fans are loving and it's working it, working.

and if no one else likes it, too bad. And to Mingy, own and the players credit, they've made baseball a thing at this school. Yeah. I mean, like next weekend is going to be awesome out there. They've made baseball a thing. I have watched more UK baseball this year than I have ever watched in my life. I mean, I was following that game on Saturday while we were,

I just kept following to see what the score was. Friday night, same thing as I'm flying in. I'm updating on my Wi-Fi. to see what's happening. Like, I've never been this way with them before. Even when they've been good, I haven't cared like I have now, and I think that's to their credit. Even though I love baseball, I know it's a hard sport to watch a lot of times. But now they have found a way to attract fans, new fans, bring them to the ballpark.

And once they come, they have a good time. So they'll come back. This is one of the things I have an issue with. All right. So they don't pay for these SEC games to have neutral announcers. for most games. They let the home team announce. So for us, it's Dick Gabriel and Doug Flynn.

I like Dick Gabriel and Doug Flynn. They do a good job. But they try to be neutral. But when we go on these road games, those fans, those announcers are rooting for their teams. They are rooting, tooting. Oh, man, we got to get them out here. So here's my thing, Dick Gabriel, Doug Flynn, you do it too.

We need to give it back to them. Give it back. You know what I mean? because you watch these other games, Drew, their announcers are all but like cheerleading. We need, I need Dick Gabriel and Doug Flynn to start doing what they're doing to us. Maybe they unbutton their shirts in the box.

Show a little chest, maybe a pink hat. If Dick Gabriel wants to take his shirt off and go to... Slow down. Slow down on that one. No, they've got to be a part of this, too. He has Big Blue Insider. If Big Blue Insider wants to be wild, we just, I need more,

if the SEC is going to allow hometown flavor in the calls, then we need to do it to. Of course, because we love it on radio or we love it hearing Tom Leach and Jack and basketball or Darren with baseball. If TV's going to allow it, working into the TV too. We need to be able to do it too.

Who's an action? Drew. Drew, go ahead, Drew. Sorry, guys, I'll mute. Can you hear me now? Yes. All right, awesome. So a couple things.

One, with the Northern Lights, it's because your phone, if you have like an iPhone 7, you wouldn't have saw anything. The newer ones let in more light. The aperture is just the size of the lens on the back. So basically the- Okay, so there you go. The aperture is the size of the lens.

That's good to know, all right? Yeah. Space weather, it's actually the sun's solar spot, the solar flares. That's just a big magnetic force that's sent out from the sun that hits the Earth's magnetic poles, makes the light. Okay, gotcha. So it's not weather exactly. It's solar flares. Exactly, yeah.

Okay. And even if it actually NASA tracks it because it affects the space station way more than It affects the space station a lot. I saw that. All right, well, good. Good info. Anything else? Yeah, just one last thing.

Big shout out to the softball team, 15 straight, getting into the NCAA tournament. Really cool for those girls. And let's hope the baseball wraps up the SEC this weekend. That's right. The softball team made the NCAA tournament. How about this? Every single team in the SEC made the NCAA tournament. There are 13 teams.

I guess Vandy doesn't have a team. Every single team made the NCAA tournament. We go to Stillwater, and by the way, the men's tennis team will be in Stillwater. They're in the Elite 8. They beat Harvard proving that this ain't no spelling me. This is tennis, and they are in the Elite 8. So both the softball team and the tennis team will be in Stillwater, Oklahoma at the same time playing in the NCAA tournament. With tennis, they've been to seven Elite 8s ever, but this is their third straight.

So, I mean, they're really putting a good run of years together. Have you ever been to Stillwater, Oklahoma? Never been to Stillwater, Oklahoma. They have a bar there. Somebody can remind me the name of it, but it's like the famous bar there. And I went in on like a Tuesday to eat dinner, and on one end of the bar was the most awkward first date I've ever seen. And on the other end of the bar, two people were just making out at the bar on a Tuesday night at 8 o'clock. Well, well, I was like, I mean, just like tongue down each other's throats on a Tuesday night at a bar.

It's like, you guys, really? Can we not just... What are you doing in Stillwater? What was that? He was one of the people at the... Yeah, he was on the awkward first date on the other end. I don't remember why I was there. It wasn't for a game or something then.

No, I was stopping in between driving places, but I can't remember why I was there. We'll take a break. Come back. Tell me about Stock to Mortgage first, though. Stockton Mortgage, you know, a lot of times I just dream about Stockton Mortgage. Doesn't have his copy-up, Shannon, as you could tell. When there's a long pause and a non-sequitur sentence, that means he's not ready. All right, go ahead.

So, you know, maybe you'll have pleasant dreams about Stockton Mortgage, waking up, giving them a call because you thought, today's the day I'm going to look at buy a house. Or today's today, I'm going to refinance my house. Or today's the day I want to take some money out of a cash-out refinance and put in a pool in my backyard. Stockton mortgage can help you. So they like your dreams come true. Oh, that's good. I just came up with that.

They make your dreams come true. Don't tell me it's good. If it's good, just let it happen. You can apply online at Stockton.com. Hit the button right there. Get started. Stockton, NMLS 8259, Equal Housing Lender. You tell me it's good by definition, Shannon, doesn't make it good.

It's like you don't see what I did there. You didn't tell a joke and go, see how funny that was. Everybody just lets it sit out there. We'll be right back. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending. Opinions are flying.

And nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's where Sports Slice comes in. I'm Timbo. Every episode, we're cutting through the noise.

I'm going to ask you about a musical group Shannon. Have you ever heard of the Red Stray Clays? I don't think I have You have? Should I have? So I have not listened to them, but like you see them everywhere. Like when Theo Vaughn was wearing that UK jacket, he had a red stray clay's t-shed.

Red clay strays. What did I say? Red clay strays. Okay. So they're like, but they're like, it's kind of like when Tyler was launching. Like they're kind of taken off, right? And so now, you know, you see something one time and then you see it everywhere. Yes.

So I haven't really listened to them, but people say I would like them. People say it's the kind of music I would like, right? So I was looking to see before I go to Europe, are they playing anywhere close? So I go on their little website, and it's they're at Railbird, but I will have already left. So they're going to be part of Railbird. They're not even on the main stage at Real Bird, which reminds me of when Tyler had kind of hit, and he did Rail Bird, and they had him on a secondary stage, and the place went insane. Apparently this group's like that.

But my point is, I'm like, oh, they're in Lexington. And I go, oh, I'm going to be gone. And then, you know where they're going after Lexington? Pineville. Really? Pineville. And the other ones are all big cities, big festivals, and then they're going to Pineville for that Cove Festival that they're doing.

And I was like, they've got this group right before. I mean, they are, you know, all these national people, I think Joe Rogan talked about them. all these people, and they're going to be playing in Pineville. Pival, I probably, obviously, booked them early. Yes. They probably came because they're going to get to see Chain Rock. Oh, my.

And they'll get to go to Pineville. But how cool is that? I'm more excited for them just to see Pineville, really, than Pineville to see them coming to visit. So, Shadden, you got to play one of their songs. Like, if they have a hit right here, because I still, I was going to listen, and I want to listen to see, how has this group gotten so big, so quick? biggest event in Pineville and Oh, since CNC Music Factory came in 1990.

To Pineville? No, it came to Harrigott, but it's part of the greater metropolitan area. No, we opened up a new arena at LMU. What's the name of the arena? What's the name of the arena there? I don't know. Whatever it is. When they opened it, the grand opening was a CNC music factory concert.

So this is the second biggest event since then? I can't think about that Cracker Barrel in Middlesbrough? Oh, that was huge. We did our show there that day. All right, so we rank them. C&C Music Factory, the Cracker Barrel. Yes. Hobby Lobby opens this week.

OVW downtown had a big draw. OVW downtown, and now the Red Clay Strays. Big news for Pineville. Speaking of Reds, done with the Ritz. Again, this is the 13th. time this month. You still got a lot of tough games this month. We're done. We can't win. They can't hit.

They can't field. They pitch all right, but they can't do it. And it's just, it's just a huge tower of suck. I mean, they're terrible. I love you've already given up on them. May 13th. You've already

given up on the team. They're terrible. And I still watch them, because I love Ellie. Ellie's still really good. Spencer Steers good. The rest of team they can't hit they can't field it's just so disappointing we're only 40 games in but they play the Dodgers seven times in the next nine games i don't feel like that's going to go really well do you will no they're a problem so then i'm trying to figure out what i'm doing my tickets while i'm gone do not write me and ask for them okay that's not what i was saying we'll take them off your hands

no i'll give them to you all but you know i've got two months worth of tickets i was bummed to miss but like now, who can't they stink. You'll be back. One good Santiago, Espinal, a game, and you'll be right back. End of the month, the Cardinals are coming in. They've lost. They are one and nine in one-run games. Have they won a game in May yet?

They beat. They won Saturday. Okay. But they're one and nine in one-run games. You're only seven back in the Nile Central. It's still early. It's just, we just had the derby. We're already seven back.

It's terrible. Who's next? Joseph. Joseph. Go ahead, Joseph. Hey, Matt. Question. So who will be our most improved football player on offense and defense this year?

All right, good question. Text Turner Arena. What's the name of the year? I appreciate the call. Most improved player on offense and defense, Ryan? I believe it'll be number six, Danke. He's due for a Heisman season, so I would go with him. Come on.

To answer these questions, if you think that, that's okay. but stop the Heisman stuff. Who do you think it's going to be? Well, you know, Brock Vandergriff has hardly played it all. I think he's going to have a big year. Chip Train him, the running back from Ohio State, I think he's going to have a big year. I think it could be either one of our new guys. That's who I would go with.

What about guys that were on the team? Is there any you see making a big leap? Brown Stevens is going to be that third receiver. He actually came to mind. I was going to say him because you got Dane and Barry Allen kind of know what they are. Running back room, it's a bunch of new names. We'll figure something out. defensively I'll say a Kentucky boy who's been here a little while and I'll say

you know that was exactly who I was going to say I was going to say ox as well I mean when when we were talking about NFL guys Vince after the show was over called me and told me all the people that were going to be in the NFL and he said to me he goes ox is a top three round pick you wait and sit wow so you put ox with Dion Walker that's a heck of a combination but I I like that pick as well. I think Octavius Oxidine is the one. Yeah, we have a lot of guys that have been here a little while.

I'm just excited to see what's next for him. Tight-in room. Scott guys have been playing a lot. I mean, I'm really excited to see what Dion does in his third year. They put out the college football EA sports cover with a million athletes. I was looking close in the backdrop to see if they worked in a Dion Walker back there. Dion is going to be. We just, we don't see physical specimens like him.

Dion might, Dion Walker may be one of the most impressive. just physical specimens we've ever had in Kentucky, don't you think? Yep, big, fast, talented, the dude is going to be a rich, rich man. To be that big, because he is, I mean, when you stand next to him, it is unbelievable. He's a mountain. And then to be that agile and quick, Ryan, you just don't see that ever. Yeah, I'm excited to watch him play. Of course, teams will try to double team him, which means that free up ox to become more of a player, I think.

I think Ox is, I like both those answers. Brown Stevens and Ox, I think are the ones that get it done. We are here at KS Bar, come on out and have lunch. Think about this. You're in Middlesboro. The lead singer went and worked out at the gym. Think about that. Last night, a blown call changed a game.

So that's what you've been. You find me a better one. I don't know. What's this one called? Wondering why. Wondering why. Yeah. I do like his voice.

Sounds like your kind of music. It is. 859-280-2287. One person says, Matt, why do you say we can't do a pre-season guess about Kentucky's team? When Cal was here, we always would be ranked in the preseason top 10. Why should we expect Pope not to be ranked? Well, what did those preseason top 10 rankings do for us a lot of years? I mean, they weren't really based on anything.

Some years they worked out, but I think we were talking about it. I think we were number three the year we went nine and 16. So, you know, that didn't really matter. It's sort of like with the draft. I mean, you know, they did the draft lottery. And now they have a mock draft that has Reed Shepard going third and Rob Dillingham going forth. When you see that, what's your reaction? What's your first reaction when you see that Reed and Rob will be the two college players picked,

the first college players picked in the draft? I can just tell you my reaction yesterday when I saw them dressed up with the lottery. I thought they were stolen from us. Like we didn't get enough of them. For them to only play two postseason games and lose both of them, that's not just their fault. But, I mean, they were fan-fail. That would be my fan-favorit team for me for a long time,

and they went 0-and-2 in March. It's criminal that the fact that those two dudes were not starting and not on the floor the whole game. They were wasted. Yep. I mean, they were, they were wasted. Unfortunately. I mean, they're a lot of fun, but they were wasted.

I don't blame them. I don't. I will, if you were to say, so like, if you were to go to court and debate Cal, I could be the lawyer for either side. Right? Like, I could argue, I could give you a passionate case for why Cal was great at Kentucky. But then I could also give you the rebuttal. and the rebuttal starts with read Rob and Antonio Reeves not playing together.

That's the start. Those three should have been on the court together 80% of the game. And the fact that they weren't is highlighted by the fact that two of them could be in the top five, and Reeves could still sneak in the first round, and we lost Oakland. Two top fives and a near consensus All-American. I think the AP is the only one that didn't give.

And he was, I think Antonio Rees was underrated in terms by the national folks. Yes. But the fact that Reed and Rob didn't start and were the best, like that, okay, so Devin Booker didn't start. But it wasn't obvious that Devin Booker was one of the best five players that year. Not that year. Right? So, like, you could, I can understand. not starting him.

It was obvious within five games that those two were two of the three best part. And then there was an injury to the one that was still starting. And it's like, well, he's injured. Let's just keep seeing if he can get it going. During the commercial break, we were talking about that 9 and 16 team. And I said one of Kyle's biggest faults was the fact that he just would not give up on a guy. He kept throwing him out there. Well, that would be, again, if I'm giving the con argument, one of my sub points is that 9 and 16 team.

again we don't talk they there were three NBA players on that team starting I mean there are three guys who play in the league that were on that team one of whom's brothers about to be the number one picking the draft yeah so you know that's frustrating now you can make the other side and go but look at Reed Shepherd just in terms of like nobody thought he was going to be this Cal gets credit for developing he should sure he should get credit for when those guys are better than people think. But I will, I'm happy for

them and I love the idea of one of them ending up on the Spurs. Spurs have the fourth picks. There's a good chance one of those guys is going to end up with Wimby, which is going to be a great. That duo will be so fun. I mean, whoever, can you imagine Rob with Wimby? They would become one of the

area's favorite teams because they would be so much fun to watch. Just their personalities together too. And like how you garden those two guys? You know what I mean? Yeah. But with that said, it's hard not to look at that and go, ugh. Now, Bronny is staying in the draft.

What was he? Six-man, seventh man this past year? We've had this conversation before. Would you pick him if you know you get two years with his dad? So his dad says, I'll play the final two years of my career with your team, but you have to pick

Bronny. I'm picking him. I'm not. I'm picking him, man. If I got LeBron for two years, Ever. But you got LeBron's really good, but he's not

Prime LeBron. Yes. He gets hurt. Now he's good. Don't get me wrong. He still probably won 10 best players in the league, but he's not LeBron.

And you presumably, he'll get worse over the next two years. You're still taking, you're telling you. I do not want him. Nothing against LeBron. Almost not like a Bronner.

I'm trying to build something. I probably have my job on the line trying to get this franchise right. I don't think Bronny's going to last long, and I'm going to just have two years of LeBron telling me to sign Westbrook and get my coach fired? What if you're like Phoenix?

And you think that could be what would take me to a title is LeBron. Would you do it then? No. I just think it's a circus I don't need if I'm trying to be. You know you're only going to get probably two looks at the championship. I'd rather try to build something that's sustainable instead of just take the dad and son that might even be a distraction. He's ranked as the 98th prospect in the draft.

Wow. I also don't think it's good for the kid. He's going to get picked and everybody's going to know it's because it's who his dad. And he's going to the locker room with his dad, on the team flight, with his dad. Let him, let Brony have a shot at it on his own. Yeah, I think you should go back to school. No, I agree with that too. Yes, he definitely should.

If LeBron were a little bit younger, I would, but I just think at this point his career wouldn't be worth it. Who's up next? Everett. Everett. Go ahead, Everett. Hey, fellas. I just wanted to tell you a little bit, a little more information. about the solar cycle. Okay.

Obviously, everybody knows that the sun is a giant bottle plasma at the center of the solar system, and it gives out these little particles, has solar, what's called solar wind, and it blows throughout the solar system, and that causes the aurora as it crosses over the magnetic field. Can I ask you a question? Everett, what are those sounds in the back? Is that a parrot?

Some notifications on my cell phone. Okay, so, but it goes, there are. It's like ICQ. Remember ICQ? No, that is what it is. That's the noise, right? Do you have ICQ, Everett? Yes, sir, I did.

How about that call? How about that? Wow. Wow. Wait a minute. I didn't know ICQ was still a thing, Everett. You still go on and chat on ICQ? Well, it is still a thing, but I don't think it's so much used anymore.

Well, it's being used on yours a lot. I've heard you get like eight notifications. There's another one. Like, they just keep coming, Everett. Do you have a lot of... I just kind of grabbed the sound because I liked it. So you just, you like getting those notifications from ICQ? Yeah, it's just a cute little noise.

that my phone makes every few seconds. But you every few seconds, doesn't it annoy you a little bit? No, not really. Okay. All right, well, Everett, that's the first time I've heard that noise since... It's been 30 years. 2001, probably, and now I got to hear it from you. So, and thank you for the knowledge on the solar flares.

Yeah, it goes to that cycle about every four. years where you get sent on intense particles and that really makes the the award is quite significant thank you everett I appreciate it wow I could listen that's a heck of a call I know that noise how do I know that noise how do I know that noise wow I see Q so for people you don't know what I ICQ is, right? Like, it was a chat thing, right? Like, you would sit there and you could chat with people.

It was even before AOL and Yon-No, it was. I had it at Transylvania. And it always made that noise? That was the only noise you had. You could turn it off, but that was the notification noise. It was the default noise. Do it again, Shannon. Yeah, that was it.

And he still got like 10 messages. Yeah, he did. That was a lot. He listens to that all day. He likes to say a lot of it. Wow. Okay, that's enough, Shannon. Well, that's tell them, though, every five seconds.

Manic Monday. Well, learning about who knew ICQ would come back in our lives? Text machine, 772, 774-5254. One person writes, Matt, I met my ex-wife on ICQ in 1998. I'm telling you, it was kind of like a, like, sort of a sneaky dating pickup thing. It's like you could, like, again, long time ago, you'd go, somebody be on and they'd from Lexington or Louisville or whatever you were. and you, I could see that. I had friends who would go.

I had a friend one time who came in and said, I met this woman on ICQ. I don't know what she looks like, but I'm going to her apartment. And it didn't go well for it. So you didn't have a photo to go by. Well, you could, but like you couldn't send photos on it. It's four you could send photos on your cell phone,

so you just took a risk and went. That noise you heard, that was the extent of the technology. You could message and then you hear that noise. No photo sharing. Apparently there's still 11 million users on. on ICQ. And I've never heard of it. I'm listening to you guys.

Like, I don't know what this is. You never heard of it either? I think maybe folks our age, it was past us and before Mario, you guys are in the middle. I learned a tip that I'm sure most of you listening already know, but I learned it, and it worked for me so well that I feel like I need to share it because I know there's people out there listening who didn't know like me. Have you ever been on a plane or driving up in the mountains or whatever in your ears pop? Oh, yeah.

Right? A lot of people have your ears pop. So as I was landing in Dallas, I guess he later said they, like, descended quickly. And not only did my ear pop, it hurt. Like it was hurting, not like intense pain, but hurting. Yeah. So I look online and it says, what do you do to make your ear stop hurting? And it was like, move your mouth off and down, yawn.

I tried all that. And it made it not hurt a lot, but it still felt. stopped up, right? It still felt stopped up. And I couldn't figure out what to do. And I went to bed. And I was like, it'll be fine in the morning. And then I woke up, and it was still kind of stopped up, and I was annoyed. So finally,

I'd started, a deep dove, went farther than the first few results and went to one of the last results. And it said, hold your nose and like, like push out. Like hold your nose and push out. I did it.

Popped. It was like magic, just completely cleared up, just ear thing. Last night, same thing coming in. It didn't hurt this time, but it felt whatever. And I waited until I got off the phone, I was kind of excited to do it, because it felt so cool the last time, waited until I was walking in the Cincinnati airport, popped, and now I feel like I've solved one of America's crises. If your ears get thing and you can't get it to stop, you do this, sir, right?

Hold your nose and then, like, blow, like, hmm. And, Shannon, your ears pop. So you're just now discovering this for the first time? Let him have his moment. Let him have his moment. I didn't know. All of us knew this. You knew this already?

I do it every day. Yeah. What do you mean every day? I have sinus problems. I do it every day. Why do you have to do it every day? Because my allergies and sinuses. I usually do it during the show sitting right here besides.

I just like that you're just now discovering this. This is my favorite part of the story. Well, I don't have allergies, and it hasn't happened on my ear a lot. Yeah. So you do that every single day. Every day. So your ears get clogged up like every day? Well, it's the sinuses, yeah.

It helps, you know, clear out your sinuses. So that's your, okay, so your nose and throat, they're all connected. Yeah. Well, I didn't know. I'm happy for you. I want you to have your moment. I'm very happy for you. But let me put it a different way.

Is it weird that it kind of felt good to do? No. No, especially, sometimes you get it real bad. You can barely hear someone talking to you. One of the real good ones that are holding you down. Let one of those go. I agree with you. It's a good feeling when you finally get that hearing and everything back.

So I'm the only person that didn't know that you do that. Yeah. You don't suffer from allergies, so you wouldn't know that little trick. Yeah. Well, it only happens to me on a plane. You know, chewing gum will help prevent it. They said that. I saw that.

Get that job moving a little bit. I did this to haul high. I was like. Did you get that on video? I said, and it didn't work. They also said you could massage outside your ears, and that didn't work either.

Oh, that works for me. But the breathing thing, that worked, and I felt, I thought it was much cooler than you seem to think. I'm just so happy to be right. So you sit here every day and do that. All the time. Right there, just pop them.

Yeah, it helps relieve your sinus pressure. So let me ask you a question. Why on an airplane does it do that? What's the size? behind. And I'm sure. These guys are pilots. Maybe they know. Yeah, well, you should know. What's the answer? Okay. And it just causes your ears to clog up?

Okay, gotcha. Well, that makes sense to me. Well, it'll do when you're driving in Tall Places. You might get to that. When we used to drive to the pinnacle. What are you laughing at? I love the fact that you're so excited about driving to the pinnacle. We used to drive to the pinnacle in Vell County. Sometimes if you, it would happen like that.

Yeah. Well, I can make you feel better on remedies. I almost needed you last night. I was Googling this. I can't believe I'm confessing this, but I had a nerd gummy caught in my little thing that you had a few weeks ago. Yeah.

I was eating at midnight. Sorry to everyone, not good for the diet. But I had it stuck, and I thought I'm going to have to call Matt at midnight and ask how he got that nerd gummy stuck out of his science. I know this sounds crazy. Bananas.

That worked. It worked. It crossed my mind. It worked. It worked because when I ate it, I think it got stuck. stuck there and went down with it because it was so mushy. So I almost needed your internet research on that.

So all kinds of home remedies. I guess the earpop thing wasn't as cool as you thought it was. No, we enjoy your moment. Take your victory lap. I felt so good when it just went, who's next? Mike. Mike. Go ahead, Mike.

Earlier in the program, Ryan mentioned the 1971 Western Kentucky team that defeated Kentucky in the NCAA basketball tournament. The interesting thing about that Western team is that all five starters played for Kentucky high schools. They were all from, cool. They were all from Kentucky. You could do that 50 years ago. You can today.

I'm old enough. I remember seeing them. That's very cool. I do not, you know, there's a period of kind of kind of, and I appreciate to call Kentucky history, probably the early, like 19 post the Texas Western game until like 1974, really the isle years where I just don't really know. For some reason, it's never gotten in my head how those seasons went. One of those years, didn't we lose to Middle Tennessee State in the tournament?

I think that sounds right. And then we lost to Western. But, like, what happened in, like, 68 and 69? Which were the istle years when he was scoring 40 points again. What did we do in the tournament in those years? I mean, I know I can look it up, but, like, I don't. Most of the, I kind of have in my mind what we did almost every year, but for some reason that late 60s, early 70s, until 75, kind of, I, what year was it, was it 75?

We lost to Wooden in his last year? Yes, 75. Okay. So that time, like 68 to 74, I'm just not good with knowing what happened those years. Yeah, because when this was playing, they were dominating winning the SEC, but yeah, as far as their NCAA resume, not for sure. We met Jim McDaniel. We did a show in Bowling Green, and he came to our show one time. Is that right?

Early, early on. That was. Yeah, it was. All right. Cornbreadtham.com. Let's say you get sinuses. What are you going to do? Well, first you're going to pop your ears.

Yes. And then you're going to take cornbread hemp.com. Full spectrum flower-only hemp CBD gummies. They help you rest and relax. You can, you know, let's say you're in a Hampton Inn in a city you're not used to. Take the cornbread hemp gummies. Hampton Inns, the pillows, why do they make pills so small? That's true.

Why do they do that? They're spending all their money on their free breakfasts. Why not just make them regular size? Big, fluffy pills. Little small pillows. They're not comfortable. They're like mini wheat pillows. Why do they do that?

Go to cornbread hemp.com promo code KSR. Ryan, we'll be here tomorrow. Okay. Good to see you. Good to see you. Welcome back. Thank you to all the folks coming. Nice to see you guys here from out of town and all the folks who've made the trip.
