Welcome to Hour 2 of Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now, here's Matt Jones. All right, welcome back, hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio. Ryan Lemon, Shannon, the dude, and Super Mario Maitland here's.

We're live at KS Bar and Grill, where we're getting ready to, they're filing in. They've been showing the video, the lead end of the... the UK baseball game, getting ready to play Florida and the elimination game out at the college baseball world series. The blue showed up, Mario, it looks like. They sure did. I'm missing my pink fuzzy hat and you're missing your blue mustache. Well, you know, Drew's got a pink fuzzy hat. He was wearing on the beach down in Florida.

Of course he does. So he's ready to go. So we can't broadcast the game live or tell you what's happening live, right? Shannon, for broadcasting rights. We kind of react to things that happen. That's right. We can do score updates and stuff like that. which we'll definitely do that after every inning kind of tell you what's going on

and what the situation is so so kind of hang with us for everybody that tuned in over here to listen to us to hang with us we appreciate it very much and we got to start with our our county countdown of the counties Taylor County Taylor County you're up you just got called up from AAA to the big leagues of your active duty Taylor County Kentucky so Mario you go first what is your fun fact you guys about Taylor County well I know that a good buddy of yours is a Campbellsville University alum, Miss Nancy Cox. I know she's alum from Campbell'sville University. And then I know Fourth of July is coming up,

and I saw that they're going to be having jets over Kentucky, which is going to be at Taylor's County Airport. Pilots from all over the world are going to be flying and doing their special stunts. So if you want to go check that out, that's coming up. Well, see, two things. One, I didn't know Campbellsville had an airport. So Campbellville is airport.

Taylor County Airport. How about that? And Nancy Cox, yeah, she's like my sister. We worked together Channel 18. I was there for 12 years. She just got married. I love the way we talk about this all the time. You say Channel 18, and I'm so used to hearing Lex L-A-X-18.

L-A-X-18. Yeah. Well, back in the day, you identified the station by the channel. Channel 27, Channel 36, Channel 18. Our ages are definitely showing you. Nancy was also a former Miss Kentucky, like back in the 90s. She was Miss Kentucky, yes, before she became a news anchor. But I'm super happy for her, proud of her.

She just got married. So, Shannon, what do you got for Taylor County for us? Well, do you know who Taylor County was named after? Let me think. I have an idea. Oh, I bet it's something to do with Zachary Taylor. Ah, there you go. The 12th president of the United States.

Former president, I was just going to say, yeah. Yeah, an American military leader, Zach Taylor. So that's who it's named after. Taylor County also is shaped like a heart. Did you realize that, Ryan? Wow. That was one of my kids. Shaped like a heart and claims to be the center of Kentucky.

Now, they claim to be, I feel like we can figure this out. Like we've got tools that can actually tell you exactly where the center of Kentucky is. Yeah. I don't feel like when it comes to something like that you can claim to be. You either are or you're not. So how can it be possible that they can claim that, but we don't have proof as to whether or not that's true? That's a, where did you come up with that? That was a good fact.

The county's actually shaped like a heart. That's very cool. I do like that. They could claim to be the heart of Kentucky. The heart of Kentucky. Because if you look at it, it is kind of shaped like a heart. Yeah. You know, now I feel bad.

My facts weren't as good as your guys. Well, I don't know if it's technically the heart of Kentucky or the center of Kentucky, but I like the fact that they're going to say they are, Shan. You love it when schools do that. Well, there's a lot of places that claim to be this or that, you know, this capital. of the world, that capital of the world, whatever it may be. You know, they can say they invent it certain things. But when it comes to something that's a geographic location, I mean, we have these things

called maps and atlases, and there's like a way that you could actually tell if something is the center or not. So I don't think when it comes to a geographic location, you can claim one thing or another without it being factually proven to be true or not. Are you looking up to see if it looks like a heart? I am. It does. It definitely looks like a heart right there in Kentucky.

You got some more for a shane or is that it? Well, yeah, I went, just a little fun fact about me. You know, before I committed to Lindsey Wilson, I did go to Campbellsville for a little visit. I was the Campbellsville University. Yeah, Campbellsville University. Cafeteria. I was not impressed with the cafeteria. Here's one thing, Ryan.

I don't know if people realize this. The cafeteria at Lindsay Wilson is top notch. You walk in there, it's like going to like Jeff Rubies or something. Okay, it's not that great. It's not that great. It's not that great. But it is, like, really good for a college student. You know, their cafeteria is pretty impressive.

I go to Campbellsville, and they're serving up, like, nachos. I'm not talking about, like, chicken nachos with all the good stuff mixed in. It was like concession stand nachos. I don't know if I could do four years here at Campbellsville. You don't like the concessions? I actually like the concession stand nachos. Sometimes the nacho cheese is good. No, no, no.

No, no. In a pinch and a ball game, nachos. I love them, but I'm talking about, I don't want to have that for lunch every day if I'm going to school at your university. You got to come strong with something better than chips and cheese for me. So I was like, I don't know. Let's go maybe do a couple of other visits before we make this commitment. So, Shannon, I got to ask you, what was you growing up in high school, what was the school lunch for you? What was it?

Oh, in high school? In high school. It was like, everybody says square pizza. Square pizza. It was actually rectangle pizza. Oh, you had rectangle pizza. Yeah. Well, it was kind of rectangle.

So you had, I never understood this combination, okay? This was every Monday. Rectangle pizza, corn, yes. And chocolate milk. And chocolate milk. What about that even goes together? Like, have you ever in your life since high school said, you know what I want to do today? I want to go get a nice lunch.

I want some square, some rectangle pizza, some corn and chocolate milk. None of that. That's a hodgepocker. of things thrown together. That was like the thing that stood out to me the most about high school lunch, the eye combination. I'm glad to hear that things haven't really changed much from my time, from your time. That is the standard lunch of a high school student.

How does corn and pizza set aside the chocolate milk? Yeah, set aside the chocolate milk. Corn and pizza never goes together in any circumstance. Did you get the fruit cup too? You got to get the fruit cup. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And then, you know, if you were lucky,

they'd throw in some of those french fries. We get French fries and pizza, which, again, is a weird thing. It just felt like we're... It was always pizza. And then, of course, you wouldn't get hamburgers. You'd get soy burgers. You know? It wasn't even real...

It was like soy. Yeah, the burgers were never very good. Pizza was always the best. Yeah. So anyway, that was about how school experience. But anyway, back to Taylor County, Ryan. Taylor County. Yes.

What are your Taylor County facts, Ryan? Well, you know, I was just there Friday night. Josiah went to a camp at Campbellsville University Friday night. Friday night, so I got to see Camelsville. Did they give them nachos and chips? No, didn't get any of that. Okay. But their football stadium now is really nice. They've got an awesome, like,

sweet and press box at the football stadium over there. Kentucky West, we used to play there every year. Did you guys play there every year? Play Camelsville, Shannon? Oh, yeah. I mean, we beat. Oh, yeah. We beat them, like, I mean, just dominated them every time we played them. So, I'm glad I didn't go to Campbellsville.

And, you know, I played left field primarily, and there's a dorm right down the left field line. I mean, there were people to always be looking out their window watching us play baseball right there that's really close to the down the left field line down there but uh campbellsville i got a couple fun facts here i want to hear it i know you got some good ones uh there camposville is the home of campbellsville industries now you may ask what is that is that well they're known as the steeple people campbellsville industries is the oldest and largest steeple and tower manufacturer in the united states they have over 15,000 installations located across the United States and Canada,

and they claim to have the record for the world's largest prefabricated church steeple that is in Huntsville, Alabama. Again, claiming things that can be measured. We can see, look at all the measurements and all the heights of all the steeples in the world, and we can see if that's true or not. Can't just claim that. Well, they're claiming it, and I believe them. The steeple, you don't call the steeple people for nothing.

Steeple people A couple athletes I want to talk about Before I get to my last fun fact You were talking about this off here You know being the fact today is Juneteenth This is perfect Because Clem Haskins is from Camelsville He was the first black basketball player

At Taylor County High School I think maybe the first black athlete At Taylor County High School First black basketball player At Western Kentucky University He ended up coaching Western Kentucky University Coach the University of Minnesota His brother is Marion Haskins

who is one of the first black basketball players at the University of Kentucky. So they helped integrate several programs there, the Haskins brothers. And I think that's, you know, huge. Huge. Time and Tuesday. June 10th is perfect timing for it today. So I know Clem Haskins still lives down in Campbellsville, has a tobacco farm. You see him as on his tractor all the time down there.

He's tobacco farm. This great man, this legend, this titan of a man that as far as Kentucky basketball and Western Kentucky especially. I know his daughter played at Western Kentucky. He was a great player there also. So the Haskins family definitely big time when it comes to Campbellsville and Taylor County. You did your research.

You did your research. Got another one. J.B. Holmes. Shannon, you know, he used to go by John Holmes, but when we got on the PGA tour, they decided, oh, better I'm ready to go by J.B. Holmes. He's won several times on the PGA tour. Oh, he just picked off.

Oh. They just picked off Ryan Waldsman off first base, but the ball, the throw to second, hit him in the backs. So he's, now Kentucky has a runner at second with two outs right now. But, yeah, J.B. Holmes, one of the best Kentucky golfers ever played at Taylor County and then went to UK. Okay. Still on the PGA tour.

So he's also from Taylor County. Here's my last fun fact. I think Chandler will like this the best. Okay. Let's hear it. Campbellsville is the home to the last Druthers restaurant in operation. Yeah, that was one of mine that I told you about yesterday. I love Druthers.

Druthers. Tell me more about What's this druthers that I'm hearing? It's kind of close to Lee's famous recipe. Fried chicken? Kind of chickens their thing. I don't know what happened to Druthers. They were always so good. They had really good chicken.

And then it seemed like all the druthers turned into dairy queens. I don't know why. Well, you're right. And before Druthers, they were all burger queens. Burger queen? This restaurant in Campbellsville used to be a burger queen. and after we would play Campbellsville, that's where our coach would take us to Burger Queen. How's the customer service there?

Oh, top-notch. Always the best. Did they have like the cherry syrup that you want it? Well, I don't remember, but I do remember one story where we didn't play very well. Oh, uh-oh, uh-oh. Kentucky's going to score. Here we go, here we go, here we go. There we go.

There we go. RBI base hit. Walt Smith scores from second, so that error of them trying to pick him off and throwing it and hit him in the back. ends up costing Florida, so Kentucky's up one to nothing here in the top of the first. Starting off right. Starting off on a good note. I love to see it. So after we played Campbellsville, one double-header sham, we played so poorly, our coach took us to Burger Queen there in Campbellsville and made us all by, I'm not kidding you, kitty meals. Oh, no way. See? I am 100% dead serious. That is a true story.

That is an old school baseball coach right there. Yep. I don't think you can get away with doing stuff like that anymore. kitty meals and one of our players was so mad he was ready to fight my coach no all they was he was ready to fight because you know you eat at seven o'clock in the morning get on a van drive to play two games you don't eat again until eight o'clock so you're hungry you're starving and he was going to give us kitty meals from that burger queen in campbellsville that's not right no you had to you get like the little extra small fry miniature size burgers little box juice yeah you got a hydrate too oh it's awful cruel and unusual. I can tell you, Campbellsville, like, staying in Columbia, you know, Lindsay Wilson,

that's where Columbia is where Lindsay Wilson is. Driving from Columbia to Campbellsville was the big highlight because they actually had a Walmart in Campbellsville. Oh, boy. When we get bored and there's nothing going on? Hey, man, you want to go over to Walmart and look around, see what they got in the sporting goods section? That, and then they had a crystals. You know what crystals are?

Oh, yeah. Crystles burgers. They had a crystals there. So that was like the big attraction for everybody in Columbia to drive to Campbellsville to go look around the Walmart and get some Crystal Burgers. That was top-notch entertainment back then. You know, Campbellsville, there's always a tie. Like, you know, Travis Ford, one time used to start his coaching career at Campbellsville. Yeah.

Gary Gupton, who's a longtime media guy in his state. You tell me about that. He's from Campbell'sville. Max Wise, who's a politician in Kentucky. He's from Campbell'sville. So there's a lot of people we've talked about over the year. Not out Taylor County. All of Taylor County, Campbellsville.

So I guess that's going to wrap it up for Taylor County. So guess who's on deck? Todd. Todd County. Okay. Todd County. You're Elkton. You're up.

We'll have to do it tomorrow. Okay. We could definitely do that. Is there a city in Todd County? Elkton. Elkton. Elkton. Elkton.

Elkton. Elkton's in Todd County. So, yeah. We have another surprise pop-up show tomorrow that I'm really excited about. Oh, this is going to be good. I'm excited for it. I'm very excited for this one. So, Shannon, I think we should go ahead and schedule.

Todd County for tomorrow. Okay. And I was wondering, like, we're not going to say where this pop-up is going to be because, I mean, then it wouldn't be a pop-up if we told you. And might not be a good choice. True. I was wondering, though, you know, this is going to be a little bit different from all the other pop-up shows that we do.

Right. Will listeners be allowed to show up at this pop-up place tomorrow? That's a great question, Shannon. We can address it tomorrow. I'm just wondering out loud. Yeah. Think about it, Ryan. Think about it.

We'll play it by ear and we'll see how it goes. Okay. As we go to the bottom of the first, Kentucky's up one-the-nothing over Florida. All right, we'll take our break. We want to hear from you. If you're calling, if you're watching the baseball game and listening to us, thank you very much. You can give us a call 859-280-287. That's 859-280-catch.

That's a Clark's Publishop phone number. Ryan, Mario, and Shannon. We'll be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. 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. Breaking down the plays, the controversies, and the stories behind the headlines. We go straight to the source, the athlete themselves. Their locker room stories, their reactions, the stuff nobody gets to hear. The laughs, the drama, the triumphs, the moments that never make the highlight real. From viral moments to historic games, from buzzer beaters to controversial calls, we break it down,

give you context and ask the questions everybody wants answered. SportsSlice brings you closer to the action with stories told by the people who live them.

Welcome to my new podcast, Learn the Hardway with me, your host, and your favorite therapist, Kear Games. And in recognition of mental health awareness month, I'm bringing over a decade of my own experience in the mental health field and conversations with so many incredible guests.

I'm talking. Trip Fontaine, Ryan Clark. Sometimes when we're in the pursuit of the thing, we get so wrapped up in the chase that we don't realize that we are in possession of the thing. And we're still chasing it. And we don't know when we've done enough. Because people scoreboard watch. Life becomes about wins and losses.

Steve Burns, Dustin Ross. Because you find it important to be a good person while you hear on earth. Are you a good person because you're afraid? Because that's two different intentions, bro. Absolutely. And that's two different levels of trust. I want you to just really be a good person. Join me, Kear Gaines,

as we have real conversations about healing, growth, fatherhood, pressure, and purpose on my new podcast, Learn the Hardway. Open your free iHeartRadio app. Search Learn the Hardway and listen now. What's up, guys? This is Clivert Taylor the 4th. And on my podcast, The Cliverts Show, I'm bringing you conversations about all kinds of stuff,

like being an internet famous referee. We're in the middle of a game. This linebacker walks up to me, he goes, hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What? Time out. Quarterback on office, blue of 42. Hey, rep, my mama wants you to wave at her. What?

Hey, Ms. Parker. Listen to the Clifford show on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, fam? This Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano and our podcast Point Game. is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what.

He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid.

He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the ball. Like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball.

So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. American soccer is about to explode. The World Cup is coming. Ramos sending on to Ernie Stewart for chip. I'm Tad Ramos. I'm Tom Boe. On our podcast, Inside American Soccer, you'll get the real storylines. I'm not worried about Policic.

I'm not worried about Balagan. I'm not worried about McKinney. My only concern is what happens in the back. The biggest decisions. If you're going to look at stats and numbers, he has no shot at making this World Cup team. And the truth. about the U.S. national team. It wouldn't be a huge surprise

if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals. The World Cup is almost here. Experience it all with us. Listen, Inside American Soccer with Tom Bogart and Tab Ramos on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcast. You get your podcast.

Yeah, this is Hootie the Blowfish. Dude, this is great music. You've got to learn about hooting the blowfish. I've never heard of this one. Welcome back. Ryan, Mario, and Shannon, the dude, 859-280-2287. That's our phone number. We're going to get a couple calls we got right now.

But I do need to mention that Hall of Famer Willie Mays died, 93 years old. You were telling me about him off air. I mean, he was a superstar. He left playing baseball. He was one of those guys to go join the military during his prime of his baseball career. Or he may, he could have been the home run leader when he retired. He had over 500 home runs. He probably could have hit at least another couple hundred if he hadn't, you know,

joined the military before he was just, you know, a guy when I was growing up, Shannon, he was a legend, you know, he was a rock star. Yeah, you think about that legendary catch, you know, over the shoulder. One of the best, maybe the best catch in baseball history. That's right. Yep, you still see it replayed to this day. And it was really sad to hear that news. I mean, a guy that, like you said, a legend in every sense of the word, you know,

every sense of the meaning legend hit over 300 for a career. I mean, that's just unbelievable numbers that he was able to put up. You're right. If he were to stay and play throughout the prime of this career, he would have very likely been the home run leader. Probably so. Rest of peace, Willie Mays. Rest in peace, what's been going on, man?

We had Jerry West, Bill Walton. Yeah. Got another one. Yeah. My idols growing up slowly losing them. All right. Florida has two guys on. Nobody out here in the bottom of the first.

so we'll keep up to it, but let's go to a phone call, Shannon. Who we got? Robbie. Robbie, go ahead, Robbie. Hey, guys, I'm listening to you guys while I'm planting a few beans here. Thank you. Y'all are talking about pizza. Yeah, yeah.

Back when I was in school, the square was pizza day, and the rectangle was Fiestata Day. And they had the corn, too, and several kids used to put the corn on their fiasata. Now, you tell me, I don't know. I have never done that. No, no, what is it, a piastata? I don't know what a piastata is. Pia stata F with a F, Pia stata.

I still don't know what that is. I'm not sure what it is. A fiasata. Rectangle pizza, something that sounds like you're saying? Right. Like a Mexican pizza. Okay. Okay.

Well, we appreciate it. I'm not familiar with it, but I definitely didn't put corn on my pizza in school. Yeah, so I thought that was just my school being weird, but you're telling me, like, everybody had square pizza. in corn. Mario found a pizza, a picture of the... That's all right.

We see it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, all right, thanks to the phone call. 859-2802-287. Who's next, Shannon? Wayne.

Wayne, go ahead, Wayne. Thank you for taking my call, Ron. Appreciate it, Wayne. Marin Askins, he was also, he was on that championship, 78 championship team that you all talk to those guys about. You know, I should have mentioned that. You should have mentioned that. You're right.

Absolutely right. Marion Haskins was a champion as well. There was one guy from Taylor County that ever played baseball at the University of Kentucky. This might be a good time to give him a little recognition. There's a young fellow named Allen Yankee, spelled just like the New York Yankees. He graduated Taylor County in 1981. He played shortstop. Okay.

They had one of the better teams that Taylor County had at that time. I had a couple of boys that pitched on that team. But anyway, he's having some health problems right now. He lives out in Manhattan, Kansas, and he graduated 81. He played on the U.K. teams. It was about 84, 85. He was not a – of course, they didn't put as much emphasis on baseball back then. So are you calling from Wayne – are you calling from Taylor County?

I'm calling from Taylor County. I live two miles. There you go. There's a call. I live two miles from that Walmart that James talked about. The famous Walmart down here. Wayne, we appreciate it, man. Thank you for the phone call.

We got our Taylor County calling. I'm not finished. Oh, you're not finished. Go ahead. No, I'm not finished. Some other, I don't, there's never been a person to play football at, that played the football at Taylor County High School, but there will be this fall.

Hayes Johnson will be. As far as I know, the first Taylor County football player. You're right. You're right. There was, I know a three that played ball at Campbellsville, Ohio, that played in the U.K., Rodney Stiles, Charlie Vaughn, and some of them, Rodney was in the U.K., he was in the athletic department. Oh, yeah, I know Rodney Stiles. Yeah, I didn't know he was a Campbellsville guy. So, Wayne, we appreciate it.

We got to go, Wayne. We appreciate it. Thank you. I know Rodney Stiles. He was in UK administration. But, yeah, Shand, we forgot about it. about our boy Hayes Johnson. He's a Taylor County guy.

Didn't he have like career day or something when he called in? Was that? It was it. Whatever they called it was it. It gave him permission to skip school. To go like hunting or something. To go hunting. He was going to go duck hunting.

Skip school to go duck hunting. Yeah. I don't know about you, Ryan. When I went to school, you didn't have days where you just go out and go hunt and get an excused absence. Well, when you're the big football star and you've signed with Kentucky, you probably got a little power walking around the school. But, yeah, Hayes Johnson will be coming to Kentucky next year as an offensive lineman from Taylor County High School. I heard they've been looking at it maybe a guard or even center.

I heard they maybe move him to be a center in the years ahead. So what's the update on our baseball game right now? Florida just tied it one to one, and they've got runners that's second and third and just one out, and Camel Brian already warming up in the bullpen. So there's just one out, Neemick, Neimanich. Nyman? Neiman. Yeah, Neiman.

Dominic Nyman. I combine these two names. Dominic Nyman is having a little trouble here. He's got one out and guys, two runners in scoring position already. Well, I think that's going to be key. I mean, especially if you win this first game, you have to play later on. You don't want to get into your bullpen too early.

So hopefully he'll be able to stave off whatever. Oh, there's a base hit. Uh-oh. Yeah, so looks like Florida's going to put a couple more runs on the board. One more run on the board. So Florida has now hit two runs, three to one. Still early, still early. Bottom of the first. Florida's up three to one.

I hear the wind getting sucked out of the KS Bar and Grill right now. I do, too. All that excitement we had, kind of getting sucked out. All right, 859-2802-287. That's our Clark's Publishap phone number. We're going to effort Tyler Ulyss when we come back. Shannon has had text communication with him, but he just got off a plane here in Lexington.

So I guess he's got to go through security, not security, because he's luggage. Baggage claim. But if we can get a hold of Tyler Ulysser, we're going to talk to him. He's the new head coach of the TBT. team. Look at that.

A family team. Look at that, Ryan. New head coach. How about that? So we'll talk to Tyler Lewis as well. And Matt, we've got to tell the story about Matt yesterday in Frankfurt, Germany. He was like a, when he called me from Frankfurt, Germany to tell me this story. He was like a little kid.

He was so happy and so excited. Yes. I can't wait to hear this. You called me. I missed your call. And you go, I'll just tell it on the show tomorrow. We'll tell the story about Matt. We come back here on Hooney the Blowfish Day on Kentucky Sports Radio.

I'm talking, Tripp Fontaine, Ryan Clark. Sometimes when we're in the pursuit of the thing, we get so wrapped up in the chase that we don't realize that we are in possession of the thing and we're still chasing it and we don't know when we've done enough because people scoreboard watch. Life becomes about wins and losses.

Ryan, Mario, and Shannon the dude here.

Kentucky baseball already down three to one in the bottom of the first inning to Florida out of the college baseball world series. And Kentucky's making a pitching change right now as well. so the starting pitcher, Mr. Neiman, didn't get out of the first inning, Shannon. They've already got to go to the bullpen to get Cam O'Brien. Yeah, and if they win this first game, it's going to be a long day for the bullpen going into the next game if they can get by Florida. All right, joining us now. We're going to switch gears a little bit and talk to one of the best fan favorites in the history of UK basketball. My fan favorite.

There is no argument. This guy is one of the best fan favorites ever to play in the Blue and White in Kentucky, Mr. Tyler Ullis, who just got off a plane here in Lexington. Tyler, how are you, man? I'm good, how are you? Good, welcome back to Lexington. I'm flying around. Now you're coming back. It'll be the head coach of the TBT guys.

There we go. This summer. How about that? Yeah, I'm excited, man. Finally got to let you guys know about it. It's been works for a while now. I can't wait. You've already got a lot of familiar names on that roster,

so I'm sure that's kind of going to be a fun experience for you. I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you. I say it's probably going to be a really fun experience for you because you know a lot of those guys, even former teammates are on that roster. Yeah, yeah, great experience for me. Guys I play with in college, guys I play with pros. Hopefully we get a couple more guys.

Some of those guys are my vets. So, you know, I haven't seen them in years. It'll be good for us to get back around each other, you know, have some fun and try to win some games. Man, Tyler, you talked about how you played with some of these guys already, and now you're coaching. You've been coaching for a few years now. What's the transition been like for you?

from playing in the Kentucky Wildcats, New Jersey to now coaching? It's been really fast for me, but the staff that I've been with the last few years that's helped me through a lot, giving me a lot of leeway, and, you know,

giving me a lot of responsibility and respect as a player and coach. And, you know, I'm having a lot of fun with it. I've changed over really fast. I didn't want to waste much time. Got back at school, you know, I wanted to start, you know, helping the new generation of guys.

And, you know, like I said, This is going to be a lot of fun seeing these guys in a different light. Hopefully they're able to take direction from me because, you know, it's a little different now. But, yeah, it'll be a lot of fun, and I can't wait. You know, Mario's right. In your two seasons on the Kentucky bench, we kind of saw you grow as a coach, and you heard Coach Cal giving you a lot of credit and a lot of praise for the way you handled, especially the guards in the last two years.

So obviously it's something you kind of thrived in that position. position. Oh, for sure. You know, I definitely have a new respect for coaches and the things they do on a daily session. And just learning from those guys, Kyle, Chin, all those guys. That's been great for me. And, you know, I can't wait to keep it going. So, Tyler, you talked about, you know, learning from guys like Coach Coleman and Coach Kyle. What are some things that you've learned from just being around them and kind of, you know, learning from their coaching perspective? I mean, it's just as a, you know, player, you usually think you're busy, but, you know, when you get onto the other side of things, coaches, those guys are literally, Coach Cal was up at 5 in the morning thinking about things.

Chin is watching numerous amounts of films. So, you know, those guys showing me how much they put into it, you know, kind of how much they put into the kids and, you know, just how much they losing time from their families and things like that, you know, a lot of goes into this, a lot of time, a lot of hours, and, you know, they put in the work. Now we're going to be out there Wednesday for the bracket reveal for the TBT, but it should be a fun time at Rupp Arena with a lot of the familiar guys on the team. By the way, Florida just hit a grand slam.

That's not good. Seven to one already, the first inning. We're watching the game, Tyler. Tyler, keeping up with you. That's not good. So we'll be there for the bracket reveal, and I think once people realize they'll kind of, you know, they just love basketball in this town. They'll rally around your team, your lot of familiar team,

and really support them, I think, a lot by coming to the games. Yeah, for sure. I definitely believe the fans will come out. I think not a lot of people know too much about the TBT yet as the week starts to go. Hopefully we get some people out there. There are a lot of guys in Ruff and win some games. So, Tyler, I want to dig a little bit deeper into your coaching perspective. I know it's very early.

You know, you guys haven't even really got the team together yet and, you know, got to go through the first round of practices and all that good stuff. But what will it look like at you being the forefront of everything and being the coach? What would the style of play look like? What can fans expect from the style of play from this La Familiar Squad? We obviously want to play fast. I want to play how we played before, you know, lives, getting up and down the court, you know, play hard. You know, I feel like this setting is just about, you know, coming in and playing hard

because these guys are coming in, you know, trying to make a name for themselves, get contracts overseas or get back into the NBA. So I think the main goal is just playing hard. They're pros. So, you know, they're going to bring a professional attitude. Understand that, you know, these guys are trying to win, you know, a good amount of money for themselves. So, you know, as long as we play hard,

I feel like everything will work itself out. Now, I don't want to put you on the spot, but has it been a beneficial? Are you joining Cal staff at Arkansas? Yes, I will be joining. Cal. Okay, I knew that report was out there, but I don't think it was confirmed. I thought, well, I just want to make sure. So after this run, I guess, you'll have to just go straight back to Arkansas and start working on the staff over there.

So I'm actually still around a little because I'm still in school. Everyone's kind of jumping a gun, but I still have to have to graduate. So that's kind of what I'm going to the summer in the next few months. So, you know, I have a few more credits left, and then I'll go from there. So, Tyler, I've talked to a few good amount of players that play for Cal. And, you know, I want to kind of hear from you and your perspective. What's the relationship? I know you still have love for Cal, but can you kind of explain that?

You're still, you're still have love for Kentucky. This is a fan base that you played for as well, and you've won SEC championships here. And can you explain the dynamics of the relationship? I know Cal's not here, but, of course, you're still had that love for BBN. Oh, for sure. You know, this is, you know, obviously it started with Coach Cowell, but this is where I played. This is where, you know, I kind of made my name.

The fans have showed a lot of love over the years. You know, I love them as well. So, you know, this is still, you know, somewhere we'll always love and, you know, root for these guys. But, you know, me and Coach Cowell, you know, Coach Cowell's family. He's done a lot for me personally on the court, off the court. And, you know, I feel like, you know, just, like I said,

that's my staff. So, you know, it's kind of like, switching up on your team, you know, so those guys just learn from them. I'm comfortable with them. I just feel like they have my back. Just as well as Kentucky has my back to the fans. You know, nothing changed. My love doesn't change.

It's just I feel like what's best right now for my career. And, you know, coach, you know, kind of the best situation for me, you know. Ryan, you know what's not talked about a lot about Cal? What's that? Is that he changes a lot. It's more than basketball. That's true. That's very true.

That's right. When Tyler, when you had your wreck, Kyle was one of the first ones to come see you, you know, in the hospital. I remember seeing those reports about that. So he does. He cares about these guys. It doesn't get talked about it.

Yeah, he definitely cares about it. Yeah, he definitely cares about his players. That's why you see guys like the market and those guys, you know, talk about him how they do because he's always cared. He's always put us first. And, you know, even though, you know, most kids dream of going to the NBA. So, you know, when you get a coach like that, you know, obviously along the way you want to win,

And when you get a coach like that, who's pushing your dreams first, you know, it's always good for you and your family. Well, Tyler, man, we appreciate it. Welcome back to Lexington for this short stint. Like I said, a lot of fans will probably come down and watch you guys play as the momentum builds with this team, the TBT team, all full of Kentucky, former Kentucky Wildcats, and coached by one of the fan favorites, Tyler Ulyss.

So, man, best of luck to you, and thanks for joining us. Thank you, Tyler. No problem. Thanks for having me. All right, Tyler Ullis. He said he was your favorite player. Favorite, man. He's one of mine, man.

I have goosebumps. I mean, you know, I'm a little guy. The things he could do as a little guy just made you love him. So tough. Pound for pound, maybe the toughest player ever to play in Kentucky. Skilled, skilled small guard. Yep, yeah. Really good in pick-and-roll situations.

Can shoot it. I mean, he's played with great pace. He didn't look fast, but he was fast. So Shannon, during that great interview with Tyler Ullas, Kentucky baseball, still not out of the first inning. We started in the first, well, we just got strike three. Finally got out of the first inning. Kentucky down seven to one.

Well, we talked about it being a big hill to climb just starting the game, you know, having to play two games possibly in one day. It looks like just getting out of the first inning was a tough challenge. Yeah, Camel, Brian came in and gave up a grand slam after it was already three to one. Oh, just barely over the fence, too. Wow. Yeah. There's still a lot of baseball to play.

A lot of baseball. The A Vision Glass Text Machine, 502, 735-3680. Got a couple, I want to tell you about. What we got? First one, Adolf Rupp's Farm was on Russell Cave Road actually in Bourbon County. So you go up Russell Cave Road on the north side into Bourbon County. It's where it was. And this one and another one on the A Vision Glass Text Machine, I agree with Shannon on the Camasville University cafeteria.

I went to Campbellsville University in early 2000s. It was terrible. But they did build a new dining hall about kindergarten. 15 years ago and is now much better. So shout out to Campbellsville University. I can only speak to my experience, all right? I'm not saying like it's not good now. I'm saying back in 2000, 2001, not great.

Not great. Needed some work. 859-280-287. We'll take kind of an early break right here. We've got one more segment to go. Kentucky baseball now has a big hill to climb down 7 to 1 after the first inning over the college baseball world series. Ryan, Mario, and Shannon.

and we'll tell you what Matt was so excited about. We come back on Kentucky Sports Radio. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind.

And on my podcast, The Cliverts Show, I'm bringing you conversations about all kinds of stuff. Like being an internet famous referee. We're in the middle of a game. This linebacker walks up to me, he goes, hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What? Time out.

Quarterback on office blue of 42. Hey, rep, my mama want you to wave at her. What? Hey, Miss Parker. Listen to the Clippers show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your, podcast. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm CJ Toledano and our podcast point game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to

win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash will get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the bar like, you go through a

training camp with that, Isaiah. You figure it out real quick. Get your ass up. Get your ass up. and down the court, and you're going to get the balls.

And the truth about the U.S. national team.

It wouldn't be a huge surprise if our team ends up in the quarterfinals or potentially a great run into the semifinals. The World Cup is almost here. Experience it all with us. Listen to Inside American Soccer with Tom Bogart and Tabramos on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcast. All right, welcome back. A little more Darius Rucker for you here on Kentucky Sports Radio, Ryan and Mario and Shannon the dude. I thought we were switching it back to your guy. Well, he's both.

He does. He's a country music star, but he used to be lead singer for Hooting the Blowfitt. Oh, same guy. Okay, okay, I'm learning a lot today. We've got to mention about Taylor County and Campbellsville. This is from the Aviation Glass Tech Machine. Anthony Epps is now the new boys basketball coach at Campbellsville High School. Shout out Anthony Epps, man.

Good friends with their entire family. So shout out to the Epps family. Totally forgot to mention it. We should have mentioned. You're good friends with his son. Son. It was here for a show. Also on the AVision Glass Text Machine.

Shannon is preaching the truth about the Lindsay Wilson cafeteria also. I'd put it up against any cafeteria. I used to be a banker in Columbia. And I would eat at their cafeteria for lunch all the time. Oh, yeah. That's the thing. What? Oh, yeah.

That was not uncommon for people who weren't even students there. They would come in for lunch or dinner. just because the food was that good. Was that good? No kidding. That's how you know it's good when you come. Wow. Well, so the Lindsay Wilson cafeteria, Shannon gives thumbs up.

Campbell'sville University cafeteria, Shedding gives thumbs down. Yep. Again, though, maybe now in 2024, Campbell'sville has finally come up to Lindsay Wilson standards. We're definitely going to have to take a visit. If we have a remote down there sometime, hopefully we can take a visit, see what Campbell'sville cafeteria looks like now. Hopefully more than nachos and cheese. Here's one more I want to give this one on the A-B-A-V-S text machine. I'm really impressed with Mario's interview ability.

If Matt ever retires, KSR will be in good hands. Keep slaying it, young man. You know who said that? Mr. Textor Person? Thank you, Mr. Textor Person. We'll give that our Kentucky-branded text of the day. That means a lot to me. All right, so Matt, speaking of Matt, he called yesterday.

I'm sitting at the table and my phone rings and it's Matt. I'm like, oh, my gosh. One ring you picked up. Oh, yeah. Kind of scared you. oh why is he calling you know you can think something something really good or really bad and he's he's giddy he's laughing he's giddy he's so excited and shannon what had happened he was in frankfort germany walking the streets of frankfort germany looking for a place to eat okay did we lose

shannon no i'm listening oh okay i thought we lost another for a second it didn't so he's in frankfort germany thinking he's looking for a place to eat and he sees all these people dressed in like black with chains and boots. And they're all kind of walking in mass to a certain area. So he's thinking, what in the world is going on? Because this is not in downtown Frankfurt, Germany. This is kind of like maybe out in the suburbs a little bit, kind of out of town. So he kind of follows them around.

Like, where are all these people going? What is the deal here? Ask somebody, Shannon, they're all going to a five-finger death punch concert in Frankfurt, Germany. That is awesome. Matt gets super excited. Yeah. Calls Chris Kale, who is the bass player for five-finger death punch, who's from Lexington, went to Lafayette, listens to our show, has been on this show.

Chris Kale answers the phone. Like, what are you doing? I'm in Frankfurt, Germany. Well, I'm in Frankfurt, Germany. Well, I know. So anyway, Chris Kale got him some tickets, Shannon, and he went to the five-finger death puck concert. Did he go to the concert? Germany and said it was rocked.

That is hard. to believe. I know, you know, we have Chris Kell, as you said, friend of the show, but Matt Jones at a five-finger death punch concert is not something that I thought I would hear. I mean, those guys they're pretty heavy. They're heavy. They're not exactly Matt's style

of music. Did you see Matt in there just bopping his head? Not really. Not really. No, that's why it's really bizarre. It's definitely not Matt's crowd. No. But I think just the experience of it, going to a concert like that of American guys

and you know one of them up on stage, I think would make it kind of cool, whether you like the music or not. Yeah, yeah, I would pay to see that. That's definitely interesting. Because he went to the Tyler Childers concert. It was that, like, in Belgium or somewhere one year, remember? And so Chris Kel, they talked.

I think they met after the show. Oh, yeah, Matt posted a picture of him and Chris Kel. They met after the show. I saw the picture, and I also saw, I don't know. I want to say it was his story, but he had some pretty good. It looked full in there. It looked packed. He said it was packed.

It looked full in it. It seems like other countries that don't speak our language, they embrace our music more so than maybe we embrace theirs. Because you think about like, I don't know, like there are some bands that are like, like, I think Romstein is how you say it? They're like a, I think they're from Germany. They kind of got, you know, some popularity here in the United States. But you see a lot of our bands go over there. And even though they probably don't even know the. words or don't speak the language at least they seem to be more receptive to our music than we are

of theirs is i mean is i'm the only one that no i think you're right i think that's why a lot of bands start their worldwide tours overseas in europe to give the momentum before they come back to the united states i think shannon's exactly right uh we just got a couple minutes but you do want to give a little shout out to our buddy dick by towel my favorite commentator college of basketball you know dick used to come on this show a lot him and matt or you know you know we'll talk He would even drop Matt's name during a UK broadcasting. Oh, my buddy, Jerry Tipton, Matt Jones. We're doing impressions.

And Shannon, Mario says he does a great Dick Vital impersonation. By the way, he says he's cancer-free. That's why we get him a little shout-out. That's great. Now, hold on. You're telling me, Mario, you do it great, Dick Vitel? He says he does a good Dick Vitale. I've been working on it.

Okay. It might be a little rusty. I haven't pulled it out in the while. Okay, now you say great. Now, I'm expecting great. Not just, you know. All right, let's hear it. You got to rank me from A to to F.

Okay. Okay. All right, A. Here we go. Ladies and gentlemen, we're here for college basketball. We got a whole bunch of diaper dandies in the building. Oh, look at this place. Look at this place.

It's amazing. All these Kentucky fans, Big Blue Nation, has showed up. Oh, that, Shannon. That's not horrible. It's not bad. Not bad. I'm not going to give you an A, but I'm going to. going to give you like maybe a B, maybe a B plus. It's good. It's good. I wouldn't say great,

but good. It is, it is good. Okay. I was in the C range, but I'll take a B. I give you a B plus also. So you got the crowd kind of behind you a little bit. They started clapping and get you into it. So big shout out to our friend Dick Vitale, who now said he is cancer free. Hope he's back at a game. Maybe we can see him at Rupp Arena this winter. That would be so cool. I'm sure he would enjoy every minute of it. So listen, we're going to stay here for the watch party here, UK baseball. They can come back. It's only 7 to 1 the second inning. There's a lot of baseball left, Shannon.

There's all kinds of chances coming up. Yeah, I mean, Kentucky's offense can break out at any minute. True. I mean, I still feel okay. I mean, it's not obviously not the way you want to start off down 7 to 1. But like you said, there's still a ton of baseball to be played. So we'll be hopeful that the cats can make a comeback today. And if they win or when they come back and win, they will play Texas A&M tonight at 7 o'clock.

So come on back again for this one. Or stay. Or just stay the whole day. David Bryant's here. Probably going to stay here all day. Not just sitting in that chair right there. Thursday night, tomorrow night we have UK trivia. It may be going on the same time as another UK baseball game.

If that's okay, we'll adjust. We'll figure out how to do it. Speaking into existence, Ryan. So if they win to today, they may still play again, I think, Thursday night. So we may have to postpone the trivia. But right now we have UK trivia. We don't do it very often. UK trivia posting starting at 7 o'clock,
