Now here's Matt Jones.
Hi, good morning. Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
grandpals and grandmalls, aunts and uncles and all you crazy people here in Mount
Stirling, Kentucky. This is the Tuesday edition of Kentucky Sports Radio, Tuesday, July 23rd.
Ryan Lemon, Drew Franklin, Shan the dude here.
And as always, Kentucky Sports Radio is sponsored by the T.J. Smith Law Office called T.J.

502-735-3680.
That's the phone number if you want to call and get on board with us.
We have another KSR summer pop-up tour sponsored by the Kentucky Department of Highway Safety.
That's right.
We're in Mount Sterling today.
The Irish Hills golf course.
Looking forward to hanging out here for another couple of hours,
and they've already got all sorts of food laid out for us.
The hospitality is great in Mount Sterling.
So the Irish Hills Golf Course has got a big tournament.
They're their big tournament.
The 62nd Gate City invitation, I'm going to tee off this weekend.
And believe it or not, Shannon,
Homeboy over here.
Drew's already played this course.
He's played here before.
Played here a couple times, actually.
Part of a golf scramble, so, you know, I didn't hit all my own shots.
Usually someone else's.
But yeah, I've done the 18 here a couple times.
I recognize it right as we were pulling up.
Had a fun time.
I was watching them warm up on this golf simulator over here.
He's got a good swing.
This is really cool.
I heard you guys talk about on the pre-show.
Behind us is this golf simulator.
This is Billy and Drew's dream.
Every commercial break, they're back here hitting balls right here behind us.
I was just getting loose.
So how did you do?
Oh, mine was great.
It said ball can't be found.
I hit it so far.
I'm still looking for my ball.
Oh, because you hit it so far.
I think it's on the green.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, whatever.
What about your shot?
I was, I deft one, but I had a couple good ones, didn't I?
Yeah, I did all right, did all right?
You know, maybe three out of four weren't bad.
You know, my dream in life is to have one of these.
Like most people, they're looking forward to retirement.
Yes.
Maybe they want to pool, this or that.
When I go to bed at night, there's just dreams of a golf simulator later in life in my basement somewhere.
I mean, you can make it happen.
I mean, you just need the, what, the projector.
And money.
You need a golf club, a ball.
They don't necessarily give those away these days.
Yeah.
I'm hoping they become common enough.
as time goes on, they'll be a little more affordable.
But it's really cool.
Irish Hills Golf Club out here.
The Montgomery County High School team is out there right now.
They're getting ready to play around a little bit.
And the fact that you've been here, but I was blown away
because of all this great things about this great golf course,
the one thing Shannon is stuck on,
the restaurant across the parking lot's haunted.
There's a ghost over there.
Are you sure there's a ghost over there?
Yep, yep.
I've heard that she looks out the window at you.
Oh, no.
And I don't have her name or anything like that,
but she's not happy that I guess people play golf here.
Is that right?
Is that the story?
I think that's the story.
She doesn't like people playing golf in her backyard.
Yeah, I think that's it.
Well, you know, there was a thread on Bond That Bridge, so to speak, that while Matt was gone instead of Kentucky Sports Radio, we should have Kentucky Ghost Radio one day.
I think we got it.
I think today.
We're going to do a ghost tour after the show today.
I'm in?
Yeah.
Well, does she just come out at night, though, or does she?
She's out all the time.
She's probably listening right now.
Now, how do we know it's a girl?
Well, I mean, I think that you could see.
The difference between a man and a woman.
It's a ghost.
It's transparent.
It's just like a figure.
The long hair.
She was wearing a dress.
Oh, she may have a dress and long hair on.
I got you.
So, well, a lot to piece together out here at the Irish Hills golf course.
Come on out here.
Casey's here.
Second day in a row.
She's been on Tyler.
Hey, fella.
Kevin, Kevin came yesterday.
He's here today also.
They were at KS Bar and Grill with Myron, and we told them, you know, we're going to be in Mount Sterling tomorrow.
I'm like, oh, I live right around the corner from that golf course.
Yeah, we usually keep these quiet before we,
we pop up.
The perks of joining us at KS. Bar.
You hear the off-air conversations, learn a few extra things.
Well, we'll get to a lot of them.
We've got some special guests here.
Also, we're going to get to all those.
Thanks to Tracy for the Chamber of Commerce for having us out here and got us all hooked
up, so we thank you very much.
I guess, you know, one thing I want to kind of start with today is UK football.
Okay.
And the reason I want to start with it is that, you know, it's been kind of quiet this
off season.
You know, after they hired Bush Hamden and Brock Vandergriff transferred and Chip Trainham transferred
and Dumas Walker Johnson transferred.
It kind of got quiet.
Is that a good thing or is that a bad thing?
I think it's an intentional thing, however you want to interpret it.
You know, last season we had high expectations.
There's more talking last summer, you know, very optimistic.
You end up having a seven-win season.
Lost that game to Missouri that you should have won when you're up there early.
Then we all remember what happened Thanksgiving weekend.
Stoops took a call from College Station.
There was a little whatever happened.
happened there. So I think with just the way the season went, given how people wanted it to go,
and then Stoops sticking a foot out the door for a Sunday there, I think they want to be a little
more quiet going to this season, and they'll show it on the field more than having all the
off-the-field conversations around it.
Probably a good thing, too, that Stoops got to go last on Media Day.
That's true, too.
If you were first up, I felt like that would be maybe a lot more attention on Kentucky and on Stoops
during media days.
But, you know, they're getting it done on the recruiting trail.
They're killing it for the 2025 class.
And they've already got, what, 17 commitments, I think, for that class.
So they're rolling.
You know, I'm even keeping my own expectations down a little bit.
I'll be honest, I had Atlanta thoughts last year.
Not like thinking it was going to happen, but it's the first time in my life.
I thought there's like a 2% chance.
That's better than nothing.
Let yourself daydream a little bit about it.
Yeah, I thought going into playing Georgia, I even convinced myself they'd be in that one.
This year personally, I'm just going to temper it a little bit.
bit, but at the same time, I recognize they're going to be a better football team.
It will just see what happens when they actually get on the field because they've loaded
up on the defense.
You mentioned the transfers they got offensively.
I mean, Dumas Johnson on defense.
I mean, that's a guy that's making big plays for Georgia.
You've had a DJ Waller, you got Harrison back, Dion Walker's a freak of nature.
We don't see very often.
So I think they have a lot of pieces.
And I kind of don't mind it being a little quiet just so they don't set a bar too high.
Let's just quietly go into the season and then show it there on the field.
I'm excited to see what Bush Hamden's offense is going to look like.
You know, last year they were the slowest-paced offense in all of college football,
so it can't get any slower than that.
And then Brock Vandigraf, I'm excited to see, you know, a guy that competed for the starting job at Georgia.
You know, the thing about the offensive coordinator, this is what,
the fifth season in a row they've started with the new coordinator.
It's crazy.
With Eddie Grand and then Liam and then Scangarello and then Liam again and now Bush Hamden.
Five straight years, even though Liam was here twice, it wasn't consecutive.
Five straight years, you should.
start the season with a new
offensive coordinator. You know, that's new signals,
new verbiage, new way of doing
things. I mean, I think Liam was even different the second
time around than he was the first time around. That's kind of
crazy. It's really wild.
It was crazy to have three and three years. Then it was crazy
to have four and four years. And now we have a fifth
and five years. Bush Hamden
talked a little bit to Andy Staples from on three
yesterday. Encourage everyone to go check that out.
I'm looking forward to what he does.
I'm going to be a little more running the ball.
We'll see about tempo. But
I like everything they did in the office.
season really it's just a matter of when the games you're supposed to win don't we can't get up on a team
and do something dumb left him back in a good away game so it's it's all about what they're actually
going to do instead of what they're going to tell me right now i did think at s cc media days
stoop's handled the a and m question as best as he could i think he did too i mean what are you
supposed to say he knew it was coming he kind of took it got on out of the way and then he also
opened his comments it's kind of funny he's like well it wouldn't be s cc media days but
wouldn't talk about my new coordinator got a little laugh out of the room so uh i think we need to be worried when
other teams don't want our coach.
That's true.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've said that for years and years.
It's a good thing when other bigger football programs want our coaches.
And I think that him staying at Kentucky and showing his loyalty says everything that he's done said.
I don't think, I mean, he chose to stay at Kentucky when he could have taken that job.
And now he's the longest tenured coach in the SEC since Sabin stepped down.
They were talking about that at media days.
Pretty wild to be an SEC football coach, and Kentucky's got the longest one.
Now, Shannon brought up a good point.
You know, the fact that's been so quiet.
during the summer for that UK football.
UK going last at the SEC Media Days.
Kind of everybody's tired by then.
They've already got their stories written.
They kind of were able to slide under the radar even at SEC Media Days.
Yeah, I went to that last year.
KSR stays the whole time.
We can't get enough of it.
I think Nick Rouse would live there if he could.
But there is an obvious decline in attendance on that last day when people that are there for specific teams.
They're not going to get an extra hotel room.
They're going to get on out of there.
You'll just have a few of the people that cover every team there
and then the Kentucky folks.
I watched the live stream,
and the ballroom was kind of full,
but there's certainly a difference in going first and last.
Yes, there is.
I don't know if Stoops requested that,
but it helped add to the quiet off season.
Yeah, all the guys that go first,
all the media people were there
and some of the bigger schools, Texas,
joining in Oklahoma, joining that got a lot of interest.
Kentucky, there was really no news at all
that came out of SEC Media Days for Kentucky.
I think Stoops probably would prefer to stay that way.
So, you know, I think that this team probably is going to try
to slide underneath the radar all year long,
Yeah, you know.
But you've got to win that second game of the season.
You have to.
You've got to beat South Carolina in week two.
You have to.
It stinks so bad.
That's the situation.
No, it actually doesn't because we're going to win.
But you don't really want a game that meaningful in week two because it really will change
the attitude of the fan base, whatever happens there.
We're either going to be on fire, 2 and O, looking ahead of Georgia.
We'll have lost a third straight game to South Carolina.
Now, it came out Friday.
We haven't had a chance to talk about.
We didn't talk about yesterday.
The SEC Media Poll, the preseason media poll, had Kentucky at 11.
Does that seem about right now?
Even though I say that, they are ahead of Florida,
and they are ahead of South Carolina, two teams on their schedule.
Do you think 11 is about right, or what do you feel about that?
When I saw they were 11th, I'm like, what?
No way.
And then you pull up the list, and you're like, well, I mean,
I don't know who I'm going to move them up again.
It just shows how hard this conference is.
I mean, Missouri, a team that Kentucky, we got to where it was just,
you were just counting that as a win there for a while they were winning so many times.
They're such a good team.
I had a great team last year and reloaded.
So it was nice to be ahead of Florida.
and I think Auburn was ahead of them
and you get Auburn at home.
I think they're going to be better than Auburn,
but it's really hard to argue against where they put them there.
Maybe ninth if you want to get optimistic,
but ninth is still ninth.
Especially when you've got, yeah, Georgia, Texas,
Ole Miss, three top ten teams.
And oh, by the way, they're all three on your schedule this year.
But you can also look that as an opportunity.
You know, we're going to be underdogs in that game.
But say you win them.
I mean, that's why you play the game.
We all remember number one LSU coming to Kroger Field.
one of my favorite memories ever.
Who knows?
Let's do it again.
Let's get some upsets.
Less of the losses that we weren't supposed to lose,
more of the games we weren't supposed to win.
Yeah, you can't lose those games at home to Missouri
when you're up 14-0-0,
and you can't lose it home to Vandy like you did two years ago.
You've got to win those games,
and you've got to beat South Carolina at home this year in week two.
You just have to.
Yeah, what is the Ryan Lemon excitement?
You know, I don't know if Dan's feeding you anything.
You know, you have all these pool parties.
Is there any buzz that, you know, we're not getting in the media?
I know, like I can say it's about Dane and Barry on, they are just, like, working their tails off.
I mean, they are like there's a new level of focus and determination, I think, on both those guys.
And I see it more from Dane, obviously.
I mean, Dane cut his hair off for crying out loud.
He's all business. He's all business this year.
I like he posted on Instagram yesterday, a bunch of pictures, had the all-business haircut, but the caption said,
save your applause for the end.
Yeah.
Meaning, don't cheer me now.
Wait until you see what I'm about to do.
Well, Kent Spencer was on the Leach Report this morning.
Kent said something, I think is right, where we're, we're.
we all thought, and even Barion and Dane thought last year was going to be their breakout year.
Sophomore year, sometimes it's a little tougher.
So this may be the year.
They both had the big breakout year.
You know what I mean?
I think this is their year.
But I want to go back to that party you were just talking about a minute ago.
Because we had a guy in the pre-show that called in and said that they host it an offense and defensive line.
They had 10 pounds of hamburger, and it was all gone within 10 minutes.
So I'm wondering, like, have you planned?
Like, are you planning the food for this part?
You've got to get more than 10 pounds of hamburger, by the way, if you're feeding linemen.
Yeah.
Well, I talked to Dane last week.
We went out and got a bite to eat, and I said, man, you're going to bring your buddies over again?
And she goes, yeah, probably he said even D.K. Sumo had even asked when we going back out to the pool party.
It's not set.
I mean, they don't have it.
You know, most of the guys probably, I don't think they're in Lexington.
They'll come back first week of August when they start.
Yeah, fall camps starts.
Yeah, fall camp starts.
I'm sure you're fully prepared for the amount of food that you're going to need.
That's up to Dante.
Dante brought the burgers and the hot dogs and everything.
All right, Danté.
You want to double what you get.
If Dealing Walker showed up in my house and I had to feed him, I would just throw him the keys.
Whatever you on, man.
It's all yours.
I'm leaving.
Well, especially like I think Josiah Hayes was there last year.
They got some big dudes that were there last year.
Yeah.
So speaking of food, you know, wild eggs brought us breakfast yesterday.
And they had a bunch of pancakes.
Uh-huh.
Did you get any pancakes?
They were like those good, thick pancakes that still get cooked all the way through.
They looked perfect.
Did you get any?
I mean, I saw them from a few feet away.
They looked good.
I smelled them a little.
little bit when the wind came through the front door a little bit.
Myron was going to stab us with these fork if we tried to take any of those pancakes.
I think somehow Mario snuck one away, but I didn't get any pancakes.
You didn't get any pancakes.
Mario, I mean, Maron ate all the pancakes.
If that had been Chanon or you or Matt, whoever, I would have said, quit hogging the pancakes
pass those over.
But, you know, we were so excited to have Myron in town yesterday, and I didn't have it in
him to cut him off.
He's a pancake officiant.
Oh, no doubt.
Just from the shows that he's done over the summer.
So he was a big fan.
We converted him to a wild eggs.
Oh, yeah.
That got him converted yesterday.
And then I spent three hours with him.
I didn't want to leave him there.
He was doing ESPN.
And, you know, he didn't, he's not going to go up to a server.
And so can you help me get on the Internet?
So I just wanted to make sure he was all good.
Got him fed at KS. Barr.
And then, I don't know.
I think, did, someone yesterday said zero percent chance of making that flight.
Well, you lost because he was on that flight.
Somehow he made it to the 530 flight from Lexington.
So somebody said 100 percent.
Somebody said 0%.
I think I was 50-50.
I was like 60.
I said 60 percent.
I thought he could make it, but somehow he made it, Shannon.
I don't know.
Well, he left a little early.
We got him out of there at about 240.
I think that 20 minutes might have been the reason he did it.
All right, well, take your phone call.
This would be a good day to call and give us a, maybe ask an Ask Anything Wednesday type of show.
It's actually Tuesday, though.
Ask anything Tuesday type of show.
I thought, wait a minute, did I just miss a day?
They all run together.
They all run together.

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.

Time out.
Quarterback on office blue of 42.
A rep, my mama want you to wave at her.
What?
Hey, Ms. Parker.
Listen to the Cliver 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 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 Nasree.
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 Quint and Richardson,
we dive into some playoff history too.
Steve Nash would get that thing.
That man, hell get the flying.
He run up the court, licking his fingers,
why he got the ball like you go through a training camp with that I said 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

We are here at Irish Hills Golf Course in Mount Sterling.
They got their 62nd Gate City Invitational Team off this weekend.
Of course, when you think Mount Sterling in Montgomery County,
what's the first thing you think of?
Casey, she's right there?
Well, yeah, besides Casey, hey, fellas.
Court days.
Court days.
That's right, yeah.
You know, Tracy was telling us they've had court days now for over 200 years,
like 230 years.
They've had court days here in Mount.
And they have a mullet contest. A mullet contest. The winner may be coming in here. Is this the
winner right there? Oh, there he is right there. We got to look at it. Oh, that is a great waterfall, sir. Hang on. Come here.
Yeah, we'll ask a question for Mr. Mollett champ. I can't believe we didn't recognize the Mollett champ here. How did we miss that? Come over here.
Come on here. Come on, champ. The Mollet champion, he's got a shirt that says dog dad on it, so I immediately like him already. Put those on right there.
Robbie Hopkins, right?
All right, Robbie Hopkins is the Mollett champion.
Well, it's quite an honor there, but you've got quite a mane of hair on the back of your head there.
Yeah, thank you.
Yeah, I've had it quite a while.
What type of product do you use?
It looks all natural.
A little pert plus.
Pantine is my main.
Oh, yeah.
He's giving away his trade secrets.
He had to look to his wife first.
Can I say it?
Can I say what I use on my heart?
hair?
I got a question.
Yeah, go ahead.
How long did it take for you to grow out that glorious
mullet? I've had long
hair since I was in high school.
Yeah.
Probably middle school.
So this has been like a lifetime thing.
I've cut it one time.
You've cut it one time since high school.
I cut it right about right here.
Shoulder length.
But I made sure they kept at one length
because I know it's going to grow up back out.
So why did you cut it?
Did somebody say enough with the mullet?
It did something different.
Just something different.
Something different.
Yeah.
Yeah, my father-in-law.
I think I wanted to show my father-in-law, but, you know.
Yeah.
He wasn't a big, you know, when we first met.
When we first made.
When we first made.
Who's this guy?
You know, he wasn't much on, you know, piercing tattoos, long hair.
I had the long hair.
I didn't have the other two.
Oh.
Now, usually there's a young man from Easter Kentucky in the mountains that has a long mullet.
He goes to all these contests and wins a lot of them.
Did you have to beat out?
some young guys to win this competition?
The first year was really big.
The first year would be probably 40 plus.
40 plus people with mullets in the contest.
Yeah, and the contest was...
You break them up.
Yeah, we're talking 19 the year before the pandemic.
So I think you ran them all off.
They saw that thing, so we've got to find another county for our mullet contest, not winning that one.
Well, see, actually, the thing that's so good about the mullet is, you know, you don't just got a winner.
You've got, you know, you've got kids group.
you've got.
Oh, yeah.
In age groups.
Okay.
You've got adult groups.
And, you know, just got one trophy.
You've got an overall.
But you have a first place, you know.
So when you walk around the streets of Mount Sterling,
are people like, hey, that's the mullet guy.
The first year, you wouldn't believe it.
Yeah.
It's a local celebrity.
It is.
I could bring my wife up here.
She ran it high and hid, I think, somebody's.
So is there a pressure to keep it now?
I mean, it doesn't sound like you have any interest in changing it anyway.
But now that it's your brand.
I'll tell you the story of it, though, is, you know, I worked at the factory here in Mount Sterling.
I started letting all my hair grow out.
I just always wanted to have just a one-length hair.
I've got curly hair.
It just doesn't work out.
So my wife was having to put it up in a bun when I'd go to work every evening.
Or braid it.
I never have been a big braider.
Yeah.
It just got to the point to where, you know, I was getting tired of it.
She was getting tired of it.
I was this close to, you know, just going ahead and just get the,
Short haircut.
I'm like I've had it.
Now you're the Mollett champion.
You can't cut it now.
Well, thanks to her.
Well, Robbie, congratulations, man.
Thanks.
Congratulations.
You're now the Mollett King of Mount Sterling.
So.
One more question.
Yeah.
Yeah, we got another hour and a half with him.
How many times have you won the Mollet title?
Like, is this like a thing that you won for a year?
I won the first one.
I won the first one.
Okay.
Which was when?
19.
2019.
Okay.
2019.
And, of course, 20, pandemic.
First time ever, we didn't have a court day.
Yeah.
And then 21, they started.
Did you win in 21, 22, 23, 24?
No, no.
I entered it in the second one, but now I'm a judge.
Oh, now you're a judge.
Look at this.
You're like Tom Brady.
You went to the booth.
You just did enough winning.
I'm going to go talk about it now.
So now the mayor and Tracy have gave me the opportunity to have a little input.
Very good.
Well, appreciate it, Robbie.
It's nice to meet a champion.
Congratulations.
Thanks for having me.
I appreciate it.
Robbie Hopkins, the mullet king here in Mount Sterling, so we appreciate it.
All right, I appreciate it.
All right, thank you very much.
All right, 859-2-287.
That's our phone number.
You want to call and get aboard?
I still have more questions.
That's a massive head of hair right there.
You know, how they judge, like, is it on, like, thickness, crueiness?
You're still here?
Ask him.
Ask him again.
We'll keep it going.
One more question.
One more.
So what are the attributes that they judge you on?
Or they just look at it and go, that's a fine mullet.
It's a nice water.
Well, you know, when it comes to a mall, you've got to know what a mall it is, you know.
Business up front, parting in the back.
Exactly.
That's exactly what it is.
It's not halfway down the front.
Right.
Long on the back.
You've got to be mad enough to wire it the way it's supposed to be war.
You're my favorite part of Mount Sterling.
Right there.
I think the judge's sheet just has two slots.
It says, is there a party in the back and business in the front?
You just say yes and yes.
The way that we try to judge is, of course, length is a big thing.
Yeah.
But attitude also.
Oh.
Does that mullet have attitude?
You should see the young people's the funnest part of it.
You get them out there, you know, and they would just be shaking their hair,
be doing a little dance or whatever, you know.
You do attitude, you know.
So there's a lot to the presentation.
It's not just walking up there.
It's like a bodybuilder, right?
ripping your hair back.
That's right.
You got to perform.
Get a pose.
Yeah.
There's three of us judges.
I judge, the guy that once the second year judges, and we have another guy that helps us judge.
Nice.
Well, Mario's got your picture.
He's going to post it.
It'll be on all the KSR media sites so everybody can see your glorious flow of hair you've got behind your head right there.
Ryan is jealous of the hair.
Very generous.
Actually, I've actually cut it a little bit, so it used to be a little longer.
Wow.
But it won't take a ball.
So we got the, the Mollet Champion.
in here in the pro shop and a ghost across the street in the restaurant.
What else do you need here in Mount Sterling?
It's going to already my favorite show.
Very good, very much.
Appreciate it, Robbie.
Thank you.
All right, we're going to take our break.
We'll come back.
Go to the phone lines.
859-2802-287.
That's the Clark's Publishe Shop phone number.
We'll 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.
Sports slice brings you closer to the action with stories told by the people who live them.

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, 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 with 42.
Hey, Wreck, my mama want you to weigh better.
What?
Where's she at?
Hey, Miss Parker.
Listen to the Clifford show on the Iheart radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
What's up, fam?
It's 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.
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.
T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney.
Call T.J. He'll make them pay.
Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.
Here's Matt Jones.
All right, welcome back.
Ryan Lim and Drew Franklin, Shannon, the dude, here in Mount Sterling at Irish Hills golf course.
Moco, we're in Mount Sterling today.
We thought this was going to be, I thought this might be our only show we've ever done in Mount Sterling.
But the mayor here reminded us, we have done a couple shows here in Mount Sterling before.
Yeah, man's car dealership.
Yeah.
And what was it, tomato and flame?
Tomato and flame.
Yeah.
Pizza place.
Pizza place.
Yeah.
Although one of those might have been a mad only.
I think that was a mad only when he was doing his book tour across the.
state I remember mans yeah think we did we you now were at man's tomato and flame it was
matt okay yeah so the show has been here but show has been here 859-2802287 we got some people
on board is ask anything Tuesday so who we got matt Alex go ahead Alex hey man I won't be
able to call in on the Woodford County Day when you guys do it but I wanted to go ahead and
give you some information about the most famous thing out of Woodford and that's their
wrestling team they have third
team state championship, 67 individual at 65 boys, two girls, some of the names.
Joe Carr Jr., Harrison, Courtney, Chris Dunn, E. Horn, Nathan Boston, who was ranked number
one in the nation.
Too many people overlook.
Woodford County.
Oh, no.
They won't get overlooked.
Yeah, we'll get that.
They kind of fell behind Union County, but I just wanted to make sure you guys had that
information.
We'll get it.
Okay, Alex.
Thank you.
Big Woodford Day planned.
I have a ask anything.
Tuesday or Wednesday, which every day Ryan wants it to be.
All right.
What are you got, Alex?
I am walking through the gate here at Kings Island.
What's the first ride you're going to ride when you get there?
Oh, I love this question.
Is the Beast?
It's still there.
Thank you, Alex.
Appreciate it.
The Beast.
The Beast is what we grew up.
That was the best ride in the world.
I haven't been, though, in years.
I mean, I don't know it legitimately if it's still there.
Oh, yeah.
It is.
Yeah.
What's the new roller coaster up there?
I haven't been to Kings Island.
I don't even remember the last time.
I know this back.
isn't getting on the beast.
And wooden coasters.
If I recall, they'll throw you around.
Maybe a son of beast.
I'm a Cedar Point guy.
I go to the major leagues for my roller coasters.
No, Kings Island still has some good roller coasters.
Oh, they do.
I've not been there in, but they've still got some good ones.
I think they've got a relatively new one.
They had one.
Remember when you get in and then it would like rotate where you were flying like Superman.
You'd be on your belly.
But I think, I don't know if that one is still around.
They may have taken that one out.
In Western Kentucky, we would go to a little Santa Claus, Indiana.
A little hot in the world.
Shout out.
Free Pepsi, get my free sunscreen, maybe ride the Raven.
The Raven.
Splashing Safari.
My Kings Island trips were pretty limited, but I remember The Beast.
Are you still a roller coaster guy?
Oh, yes, absolutely.
I love roller coaster.
I do.
My dad, my oldest son, my youngest son, but I got one son that will not ever ride a roller coaster.
What about the water log?
That always scared me as a kid for some reason.
It scared you.
I hate it the drop.
Yeah.
The drop's the worst part, right?
Oh, that's a fun part.
When you get through the initial drop, it's all good from there.
But that first drop, oh, it puts your stomach up in your throat.
I hate that feeling.
The best thing about that is you're at whatever park of you're choosing, Kings Island, Holiday World,
Dollywood, wherever you want to go.
Yeah.
Opry land.
I went to Opry land back before you.
I did too.
Many times.
Walbash Cannonball.
The best part about the log flume thing is it's 120 degrees outside and you stand on that bridge
and let it splash you and fully off the yesterday.
Yes.
Yes.
The one way to get cooled down.
Yeah.
Now, Tom Hart talked about this on one of the shows.
He hosted this summer, scary rides.
scary rides or scary amusement parks.
When we went to Vienna, Austria,
their rules and regulations on what they can do for rides
are different than the United States.
And they had a ride. I don't know if I can even explain it.
It was like the scrambler. It started out like the scrambler.
And the scrambler will say you're rotating clockwise,
your car.
But the machine is rotating counterclockwise.
And then it lifts you up in the air and turns you upside down.
Oh, my God.
It's the scariest thing I've ever seen in my life.
I mean, I couldn't, I was just an upside down scramble.
Upside down scramble where you're going one way and the ride is going the other way.
It was.
No, I'll check out on that.
Oh, it was unbelievable.
My rides aren't like how fast they go if I'm going upside down.
I can handle all that.
You know, I'm a blue angel, Ryan.
That's true.
I've gone at the speed of sound.
My issue is, who put this thing together?
I've done this before on this show and Nate Bergotsi stole it, but I don't want my ride passing me on the hallway on the way to the fair, you know?
So if it's like a Kings Island or a place that I have a pretty good idea that some sciences were behind this, I'll ride anything.
But if I'm at the Hopkins County Fair and the guy's just chain smoking and I'm not even sure he's checked it yet, I'm out.
Mine's all about who put it together.
We've got the Kentucky State Fair coming up next month.
We're going to be out there so maybe we could put you on one of those rides.
I'll do it.
You and I can ride them.
I don't care.
I love it.
We forgot shout out of Kentucky Kingdom.
Another hit.
Oh, yeah.
The Chang.
They still got the Chang?
The Chang.
I don't know if that's still there or not.
What's the long?
wooden roller coaster at Kentucky Kingdom.
Thunder Run.
There's twisted sisters?
Side by side?
Side by side.
It's not there anymore.
They took that out.
Oh, they did.
Thunder Run, I think.
Thunder Run, that's it.
There's also now one called Lightning Run.
So there's two of them that they have.
859-2-287.
Didn't know our first question was going to be out Woodford.
First caller was going to be Woodford County Wrestling and the amusement park rides,
but we love that.
I kind of want to go to amusement park now talking about it.
Who's next, man?
Let's take another phone call.
Mike, go ahead, Mike.
Good morning, gentlemen.
This is Mike Bartered from Mount Sterling.
and I know right personally, I'm going to give you a little trivia.
It was 28 years ago when September the 27th comes that I met you.
I was at the Woodford County football game,
and I blew your mind doing PA, and you came up and did an interview with me.
Mike Barnhart is blind, and he would do the PA from Montgomery County football games.
He would listen to Dan Manley, do the play-by-play with the headsets on,
and whatever Dan Manley would say, Mike would say that on the PA.
Oh, wow.
Here's another thing I'll tell you about Mike.
Mike, tell him about the free throw contest you won.
Yeah, back in 92, when they were doing a barnstorming tour,
that was when Pelfrey and that bunch and just getting ready to graduate,
they came over and I beat Pelfree nine shots to three.
In a free throw, and he's blind.
Oh, my gosh.
Gosh.
Unbelievable.
Mike, I mean, Mike, Barnard's one of the most famous people in this town.
There's no doubt.
I'm so happy you called, Mike.
How are you doing, buddy?
Pretty good.
How you doing, bro?
All right.
So are you still going to the football game and still doing the PA?
Or what are you doing now?
I go to the football game just to listen.
I don't do the PA anymore, but I'd like to, if they ever needed a sub.
I'd be glad to do it for them.
Well, it's so good to hear from you.
I'm glad you're doing well.
And thank you for calling in, Mike.
I appreciate the phone call.
But, yeah, he's a legend in this town.
I can't believe that story.
He outshot Palfrey.
Nine to three.
Yes.
And he's blind.
That's got to be our call of the day.
That is, without a doubt.
The Don Franklin call of the day.
Mike Barnhart calling him from Mount Sterling.
It's just a great story that thinks he does.
Yeah, it is amazing.
Life game a little curb ball.
He said, no problem.
I'm just going to keep being good at free throws,
and I'm going to go call high school football.
No issue.
I mentioned Dan Manley.
He's been calling play-by-play here in Montgomery County for over 50 years.
I mean, when Joel Utley retired,
as the voice of the Kentucky Wesleyan Panthers,
I think Dan Manley is now the longest running play-by-play guy
for one school.
It's like 54 years.
He's been doing play-by-play.
Oh, my goodness.
They played Frederick Douglass a couple years ago,
and he had me on at halftime.
I'm like, man, I'm in all.
I mean, here you've been doing this for 50 years,
and I appreciate you having me on.
So, yeah, Dan Manley, the voice of the Montgomery County Indians, for sure.
I'm impressed with your Moco knowledge.
Well, when I'm working at Channel 18,
I think we covered Montgomery County a lot.
You know, they had a great run with high school girls basketball.
Beth Weiss was probably one of the best high school girls I've seen in this state ever.
She was outstanding.
We're going to tell our listeners about a pretty good little Montgomery County athletes.
Yeah, we'll get her up next segment.
Another star has been born here at Montgomery County in softball, so we'll talk to her about that.
Who's next, Matt, let's get another call.
Who we got?
Team Moose.
Go ahead, Team Moose.
This is Team Moose.
I'm from Louisville, Kentucky.
I just want to say I'm behind Mark Pope 100%.
I will cheer as far as I can for him.
And if you're wondering about football,
I have a girl that I see who is Melanie and she's from Michigan.
So I'm a Michigan fan, Wolverine fan.
But as far as Mark Pope, I'm 100% behind him.
We need to get you on the Mark Stoops and UK football bandwagon now.
What can we do to convince you?
No, I like Mark Stoops.
I really do.
and I really did like the comments that Calipari made about this is a basketball,
yeah, basketball school.
But no, I like Marks, too.
I do.
I really like him.
I hope he does well.
But, no, you know, I'm for UK.
Just go Mark Pope, and I know the chances are, him making the final four slim to none.
Whoa.
Slow down.
Appreciate.
Appreciate the phone call.
I mean, I know we got some fans are going to try to.
predict final four but we need to give him give him time to build the program and get to that
maybe that level changed anybody have san diego state in the final four that's true very true
make the final four these days so long he's got some good coaching and some old dudes which i think
we have i liked what um myron said yesterday about pope being all business oh i did too i've been down
there many years haven't been quite a while matt and i used to go uh every year and it is
not that coaches aren't recruiting but it is more about the coaches there to see the coaches
too. There's a lot of socializing.
And I like that Pope's focus sitting up front
with his little binder and making sure that he's
letting the players know that he's there
for one reason. I think a lot of fans,
that was their biggest takeaway yesterday, Shannon, was
Miring talk about how Mark Pope is there. He's
there for business. He's down there
front center, got his
his binder, and he's ready to go
continue to try to build this program.
That's what we want in our coach. Amen. It's not down
there for, you know, just socializing,
trying to get some work done while he's there.
So sounds good to me.
I'm excited about it.
All right, we come back.
We'll take our break.
We're going to talk to the new Kentucky Miss Softball.
She's from right here in Montgomery County.
We'll introduce you to her.
Talk to her a little bit of what she did this year.
The amazing stat she put up.
We'll go right back.

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,
A, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her.

So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, welcome back, Kentucky Sports Radio.
Ryan Lim and Drew Franklin and Shannon, the dude.
You know, Shannon, Red State Barbecue has been serving quality, smoke meats at Central Kentucky and beyond for nearly 14 years now.
Sounds like if you were going to have a football party at your house.
Maybe you could get Red State.
Wow, what a great idea.
Seven days a week you can enjoy tender brisket, fall off the bone ribs,
pulled pork, pulled chicken, and, of course,
they're one-of-a-kind smoked and flash-fried wings.
But they also offer some specialties, including their smoked half chicken
and smoked striploid on Saturdays and on Sundays,
smoked prime rib as well.
Of course, you can't get there for,
can't go for a big thing without their sides,
potato salad, coleslaw, bake beans, beer cheese, grits,
and I think they've got the best corn pudding I've ever had.
If you know it, you know.
Red State's barbecue.
and the rich in creamy big mac and cheese.
Oh, it sounds good.
Yeah.
Red State Barbecue.
They're on Georgetown Road.
You know, when you go from Lexington to Georgetown, they call it Georgetown Road.
When you call from Georgetown to Lexington, they call it Lexington Road.
40-20, Georgetown Road, barbecue the way you want it to be.
It's good.
All right.
Now, on the way over here, you know, I like to think it's like former athletes from these communities we go to.
I saw you Googling in my front seat, making sure you had them all.
I was trying to, and was having a hard time really coming up with who was the best athlete to come out of Montgomery County.
She may be sitting at the table with us now, Drew.
out, she's here. The new, raining Miss Kentucky softball, Reagan-Ooney out of Montgomery County High School.
Thank you, guys. You had a heck of a season. I mean, you said you broke a lot of record. What
were some of the record you broke? So I broke the season record in home runs, which is 24,
broke the state record. 24 home runs in the season. I've got her stats right here. Do you know your
batting average? I think it was a 5991. What? 594. 594. 594.
What other records did you break then?
I broke the seven consecutive home runs.
So, like, I literally started in the district tournament.
So we played three district games, and then I had the math up five region games, or four region games.
Yes.
And then I started on the district, the first district game hit a home run in all seven games.
Oh, my goodness.
Aaron Harrison of softball over here, just carrying in the postseason.
they don't do intentional walks in softball, huh?
Maybe they should.
They do.
They do.
The region championship game, which was funny, I hit two pop-ups.
Okay.
The next two at-bats, they intentionally walked me twice.
They did not want me to break the record.
And then the last at bat, they were like, we're going to let her hit.
First pitch.
Hit it out of the park.
Love that.
Yes.
76 RBIs, too.
Throw that in there.
You already made your college decision.
Where are you going?
Troy University in Alabama.
What were some of your other schools you considered?
Marshall, Adon-Merry State.
I talked to University of Alabama a little bit, you know, Kentucky, but I just thought Troy was the place.
I got a Troy T-shirt at home. I should have worn it.
You should have wore it today.
You know, Shannon was quite the power hitter back in his day.
What's your secret to hitting some home runs?
Oh, it's all on the legs.
Because, you know, understand, like, guys are all upper body.
Girls can't use upper body, so that's how I work as the legs.
Shannon had a similar stat.
He went seven games without hitting home runs.
That's right.
I went most of my high school career without hitting.
pick a home run. What position
did you play in the field? Catcher.
Catcher? Yes. So what
other accolades do you think
that we need to know about? You were all region, I guess
and I was all district, all region,
and then all state, first team
all state. What's still out to you about Troy?
Just, you know, the staff.
The staff is incredible. Like, I'm going
nine hours away, so I have to
be, it's like family down there. Really
their country like me, you know,
it's down south and that's where I belong.
Get to the beach if you needed to.
two hours. Oh, yeah, that'd be nice.
For what if Kentucky has produced these
great girls softball players in recent years?
I remember the good. They had just the girl that just played on
Oklahoma. I think from what, was she from
Webster County? Madisonville had a
Cayley Toe went to Alabama.
In Montana Fouts. I could remember
her name. She was the pitcher, right? Yes.
For play pitch for Alabama? I mean, what is it?
Why has there been all this talent coming up out of Kentucky
all of a sudden? To be honest, I don't even know.
I mean, it's youth programs, or is it better coaching?
Well, I think the youth programs are a big deal, because
Our Moco softball team, we have youth programs, and he brings back old players from the past,
and we just, like, bond and get to know each other, and I think that's just a big thing about girls, too.
Well, I know, like I said, Beth Weiss.
I think she was Miss basketball here at one point.
Now we got Miss softball here at Montgomery County, so Reggie, congratulations.
Thank you.
What a year.
What a season she had, Shannon.
Yeah, I mean, I can't imagine facing somebody batting almost 600.
I would intentionally walk her every time.
24 home runs and over 70 RBI.
That's a pretty good season.
Yeah, and I like going to Troy, even though it's Kentucky football,
there's like UK connections down there.
You know, Neil Brown went down there.
They have the John Schlarman offensive line room down there,
so maybe she can take a little Kentucky to Troy and leave a legacy.
Summerall's the coach now, right?
Is he still the coach there?
He left, but he was there.
Okay.
I mean, he was so good.
He didn't have to stay too long.
Speaking of the kind of things that are little disappointing,
we all got news yesterday that Dan Issell,
had passed away.
And it came from a pretty reliable source.
Let's be real quick.
He did not.
Let's not leave the cliffhanger there.
Don't add to the.
He's still alive and well.
He's still alive and doing great.
He's very much still alive and doing well.
But there was a couple hours there.
We thought, okay, this is our lead story tomorrow.
We need to talk about Dan Isle.
And I was going to contact Shannon, see if he could come up with some clips where he was
on our show with us.
But he's very much alive and well.
Drew, how did that go for you?
Someone posted on Facebook that he.
he had passed and then i mean you social media that gets passed around a lot i had several people
texting me to the point uh tyler from ksr reached out to uk you know this is spreading everywhere
this is in multiple chats here and there people wondering when's it going to go public and then there's
a follow-up post like fake news that didn't really happen i'm always intrigued by like how did that
start like somebody had to like just create it in their mind or like who started that right i mean why
And how do you post someone down and you're not sure?
Yeah, right?
I mean, Brian?
Will?
Have you ever done that before?
No.
But I tell you what, I was very close to putting something out of my own social media account.
I wondered about that, too.
Because, you know, hey, matter of fact, I've got it in my drafts.
I've got it in my drafts on Twitter that if I saw somebody else confirm it,
that I was going to put it out there.
Well, let's hang on to that.
But we're happy to report that he is not dead.
In fact, let me find the comment.
His wife, he's doing excellent and just enjoy.
Here it is.
This is Dan's wife.
I want to let everyone know he's alive and good health and loving being in Colorado.
So none of that was accurate, even though lots of people thought we lost Dan Estill yesterday.
I know in the media a lot of times we were kind of had to be ready and had these O-bit packages ready and O-bit stories ready.
Well, I unfortunately wrote one and that's just sitting in drafts.
Now I don't want it there.
Now I feel weird that that's there.
That's there waiting.
I had to type that up because we thought it was true.
Since this is such a morbid topic, I think we should all write each other's obituary and come back with it and read it on the air tomorrow.
What about that?
Like Drew can write one for us.
We'll write one for you.
But what if we KSR curse one of us?
That's the thing.
I don't even like having that already written.
I've got news for you, Ryan.
Nobody's getting out alive.
At some point, we're all going to go.
Yeah, it wasn't that long ago where we thought our buddy Michael Bennett had passed away.
Somebody posted on his.
You remember Hillbilly Horror stories?
Yeah, they happen in threes.
Jerry Polly.
I thought he had passed away.
I got the news from a very reliable source that he was having some health issues at the time anyway.
That was just in our text, though.
That wasn't public.
Correct.
But in our text group, the guy from Hillbilly Horror Stories, Jerry Polly, had died, and you go, wait a minute, he's back.
He's back.
Oh, my gosh.
What a comeback.
Yeah.
Just let this be a lesson to everyone.
Before you go posting on social media, it's certainly if it's about the death of anyone, the all-time greatest wildcat ever, let's be
really sure that that's the case a lot more important to be accurate than first very true yeah because
