Your 20s can be so exciting, but they can also be really overwhelming, confusing, and honestly, just kind of lonely. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the psychology of your 20s is breaking down the science behind the biggest roadblocks we face. I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks, and just the first one in, the last one out, and I ended up burning out. There was a large chunk of my 20s that I like was just so wanting to like be out of that phase out of my skin. And I just like really regret not living in the present more. You don't need to have everything figured out right now. You just need to understand yourself a little bit better. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Welcome, everyone, Kentucky Sports Radio Tuesday. September the 24th, I'm Matt Jones here on an absolutely rainy day in Louisville, Kentucky. You give a shout on the Clark's Pubbets Shop phone line. I am in studio, which means, Shannon, I can see the phone things.

And it means you actually sound good, like your vocals sound good. What do you mean? I feel like we always sound good. But in studio, man, you got a little bass to your voice. It sounds really good. I do sound more bassy. That's right. That's right.

So I'm in Louisville with Shannon. Now you have in Lexington. Ryan and Drew, they are at KS Bar. Ryan, nice to see you today, except I'm not seeing you so nice to talk to you. Yeah, there is something about your voice when you're in studio. It does. Shannon Dry. It sounds more rich.

Maybe that's the right. Rich. Oh, well, that's, look how sweet you are. Talking about how rich I am. We already know. Daddy Pet Sacks. See, why you got to do that, Shannon? I come all the way to Louisville.

I appreciate that. And I see you. And then that's going to be your, well, it's not worry. I've seen your salary. You're not yours isn't bad. 859-28027. We'll pick right here. I'll get to see who we have on.

I'm looking forward to talking to everybody. Ryan Drew, this is, it was crazy. I don't know what it was like in Lexington. But for the first time in ages, I was woken up by thunder it was so loud did you hear that one this morning shannon it was like yeah yeah it was unbelievable drew it scared me and then now i was up most of the rest of the morning i don't know if we got that same burst of thunder you all got in louisville but it's been raining ever since i got up pretty early here in lexington you know our crops really needed it we our crops did need it yeah

i'm at that age thinking about my yard finally some rain in lexington did you hear it did you chanin did you hear i thought somebody was breaking in my basement i did too i don't know if people in louville I don't know if you're like this in Louisville. It was the loudest thunder I've ever heard in my life. Do you know what time of morning that was, Shannon? No, no, but it woke me up. It woke me up and nothing wakes me up. And it woke me up.

It was crazy. And by the way, this, again, you know your middle age when you're like, did you hear how loud the thunder was last night? Sure there is. Some weather we're getting these days. Oh, my goodness. Did you feel it outside? I could feel so.

We needed this. Yeah. Yeah, we needed this. That's another good old person. There's more coming, right? And there's more coming. I don't know. You're the only person I know that watches the main forecast.

It watches the forecast. 859-280-2287. Last night I decided to, I was in Louisville. You know, in Louisville, I feel like Shannon, my stress goes away. It's almost like I'm away from whatever problems I have. Yeah. Because no one in Louisville knows or cares who we are, right? So when I walk up and down the street, nobody knows who you are.

And so when I there, I almost feel like I'm on a break. So last night I watched the game and I got into it a little bit. There were two games. I got into them in part because I really want the Bengals to win because Lexington has a big Bingles fan base. But the other reason I wanted them to win was Ryan because the KSR survivor. Yes. That's the number one reason for me. I mean, we came up with this idea and it was such.

a perfect idea, like kind of involve the sort of people that are friends of the show. Drew, we can laugh about their picks. My thought was it was a way to kind of, you know, acknowledge the NFL's going on all year. And now it is week three. We have finished three weeks. Bye-bye. Three weeks. Out of 50 contestants, it is now over. And Tim Couch won. Of course he did. Tim Couch. of course one, who, when I texted him the first time, I want to read you our conversation about this league. This is going to be good.

All right. So I text Tim Couch. You know, this is Tim Couch. I played against him in high school. He is. That's what we all thought about. That's exactly what we all. Is that not on his Wikipedia page?

And I said, hey, would love to have you play in the KSR Survivor League. You can pick any team to win. Would you like to join us? Hey, what's up, Matt? I don't know what a Survivor League is, but count me in. I guess I'll figure it out as we go. We certainly did. Yes, he did.

That was what, and then week one, he picks Tampa Bay, week two, the Chargers, and week three, Buffalo, and now Drew over. He won. He picked Buffalo last night. The other 11 people that were left all picked a team that lost, and Tim Couch has won the Survivor League. I mean, have a month, Tim Couch. Just a couple weeks ago, I watched him get a plaque, Groger Field.

He just got a statue in his hometown. He just completely destroyed our league. I was looking forward to a whole fall of a little banter with you guys, a little back and forth, taking the Survivor League all the way to the playoffs, and now it's not even October, and Tim Couch has taken our first trophy. Do you guys know anybody that wins at life more than that guy does? Nobody. Well, we talked about that yesterday.

Nobody. So I just sent you, I sent the five of you involved with KSR. I sent you the picture that comes up when he calls my phone. Do you guys have this picture? I got it. So you know how on your phone. Here we go. I won't get it.

Did you say it's right? You know how your phone, like you can program the picture that will pop up on people's phones when they call? This is the Tim Couch picture. Now, I'm not going to put it online because I feel like Tim, you know, it's his. I don't know that he wants that. Is that him? That's Tim Couch. Okay.

I thought I knew what Tim Couch looked like. You don't think that's Tim Couch? It doesn't look like him. Well, right under his face, it says Tim Couch. I understand that. I thought the letters were a big giveaway. Yeah, I mean, you could put anybody's picture on there and put Tim Couch on there. But I want you to look at that picture.

That guy is 48 years old. He has perfect hair. He has the perfectly trimmed facial hair. Those glasses are much more fast. than anything I've ever worn. They're Tom Ford glasses. What does that mean? It means they are out of my budget.

So they're like, that's high end? Yes. Tom Ford glasses. And I think, Shannon, it's not fair to get that to pop up on your phone when Tim Couch calls because now you're sitting there going, how does that guy look like that at 48 years old? Well, can't we spike your hair up a little bit? I don't have that much hair. I don't have as much that.

48 years old he looks like that. And he wins the Survivor. So I even know Tim Couch is, in my opinion, the greatest quarterback in UK history. And even though he is one of, you know, the all-time legends of this school, he just, he's too good at things, Ryan. And now I've decided that I hate him from now on. You think you're having a great day and things are going your way. And then Tim Couch's face pops up on your phone. Tickouts his face pops up and goes, oh.

And if you're on a date, shit, and whoever you're with will go, well, who's that? Yeah. Kind of like the Tom Brady fan. Exactly. Who's that? Oh, is that your friend, man? Well, let's see. Where's he live? Yeah. You know, so anyway.

859-28027. UK plays Old Miss this Saturday. Game is at noon. Lane Kiffin said, Drew, I'm not going to say we're prepared for this game. He said, if I'm honest, the teams we've played so far are nowhere what we're about to play. Said that Kentucky had great players on both sides of the ball. and it would be completely different than anything that's happened all year. And I think he did one of these not to be disrespectful, but those teams we played stink.

This is a different thing. So he seems to acknowledge what we are all is at least hoping is the case. Yeah, I mean, he's right and everything he's saying. He's right for saying it. Last time Kentucky played him to three points in Oxford, the time before that, it was a point in Lexington. I mean, he's had some great offensive teams that have run into some Kentucky. defenses and they've just been able to completely stop what they've been doing. So I understand why he's, you know, letting it be known that this is not just a

cupcake on the schedule, that they're going to have to prepare for this one like anyone else. I thought, Ryan, for most of my life, that Lane Kiffin was like kind of a goober, you know, especially when he was at Tennessee and he was very young and cocky. But I've grown to not only think he's funny, because he's always been kind of funny, but to think he's like a really amazing coach, to take Ole Miss to where he is. the way that offense runs, the success he had under Kiffin. I mean, I don't think he finishes his career at Ole Miss.

I think he probably finishes his career at one of the three or four major programs. And he'll deserve it because how many dudes have the start he had, which was kind of disappointing? He had a Tennessee and USC job both before he was 35 and then turn it around and have the success he's had towards the middle of his career. Yeah, for all of his faults and things he says and things he does, the dude is no dummy. I mean, he's a football servant, and that's why Nick Saban brought him in to be offensive coordinator

one year. I don't think they really liked him as a person, but he knew as a football mind, he was brilliant. You said he was a football what? Servant. Do you think the word is servant? That's servant. He's a servant. He's a servant. He's a servant. But how do you think that word is spelled?

I'm not sure. Well, take a guess at it. I'll say, all right, S-E-R-V-A-U-N-T. Okay, so you think the word is S-E-R, V-A-U-N-T, Servant. Servant, because it can't be Servant, so it's going to be Servant. Okay. I'll go with that. That's not the word.

As a matter of fact, that's not even... A word. That's not even close to any word. especially not a word that's supposed to mean a genius. Yeah. As a matter of fact, I think we can say, Drew, that Ryan is a servant. It is savant, S-A-V-A-N-T. Yeah, I just missed it.

No, you added an R. Well, that's the Eastern Kentucky. And you also added to you. Yeah. You know, Garrett County, Gerard County. You know, you just produce a difference. Same thing, Shannon. Sir and sir.

He created a new word. Servant. Carl Webster. Let's put it in the dictionary. Carl Webster. Carl Webster. He keeps putting R's and things here. Yes.

I thought he was just being very elegant in how he was saying servant, but you were just a completely different word here. Savant instead of servant. There you go. Get that R out of there. Versailles, Versailles. So just so people. people at home are if your kids are listening.

Carl Webster, whose actual name was Noah, who put the Webster's dictionary together, created the word servant to mean Lane Kiff. Yes. Lane Kiffin is definitely that. I'm losing brain cells listening. That's what I do every time I have to deal with. Listen, before the show started, I watched him tell dad jokes on Cameo.

just to let you know that Ryan has been on fire. Wait a minute. People bought a cameo of you telling jokes? Yes, to a nine-year-old. That's perfect. You're still in that mindset, I can tell. I got to watch that performance right before we started the show. I don't even know what I was saying.

It doesn't matter. 859-280-2287. You're talking about Lane Kiffin. Yeah, well, I can see. You might see how I got distracted. 859-2-2-2-287. Matt Drew, Shannon, and the servaunt, Ryan Lemon. We'll talk more about Old Miss in just a second.

This is KSA. 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. Listen to Sports Slice on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more, follow Timbo Sliced Life 12 and the TikTok podcast network on TikTok.

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 run 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 going to get the ball. So, listen to

Point game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. There are times when the mind becomes a difficult place to live. This is David Eagleman with the Inner Cosmos podcast, and for Mental Health Awareness Month, we're dedicating a series to understanding the mind when it struggles. I'm joined by doctors, researchers, and those with lived experience. We'll talk with singer-songwriter Jewel about anxiety. I started living in my car, and then my car got stolen. I was shoplifting, I was having panic attacks, I was agoraphobic.

And making it through hardship. To be present is a learned skill, and it's hard to be present. We'll talk with John Nelson about clinical depression and the brain implant that saved his life. What I learned is that procedure made me happy because I'm disease-free. And we'll talk with leading experts like Judd Brewer about anxiety, and John Hirschfield about obsessive-compulsive disorder. and the science of how the brain can change. This is a month of deeply personal and honest conversations

about what happens when the brain goes off course and what we can do about it. Listen to Intercosmos on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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? Quarterback on office blue 42. Hey, rec, my mama want 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.

Hey, I'm Jared Adano. You might know me as that loud guy who yells out, help on the internet. Help somebody, please! But there's so much more to me than that. I'm an actor. I'm a comedian, and recently I've become quite the helper myself. And on my new podcast, Hope from a Hypocrite, I'll be changing lives, helping people in need with my sage advice and thoughtful solutions.

Sike, I'm a comedian. I'm not qualified to give good advice. Join me and my comedian friends as we riff rant and recommend some of the most legally dubious advice known to man. If I'm calling you, even if you're on your phone, let it ring twice. One ring is too scary. Oh, cream a chicken suit. Hey, cream a chicken suit.

This is Help from a Hypocrite, the worst advice from the dumbest people you know. Listen to Help from a Hypocrite as part of the My Cultura Podcast Network available on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back. It is Tech Sports Radio. 859280, 28,000. If you, if you, if you, the messages I'm getting, people are entertained, Shannon, by Ryan's. He entertains me. Ryan, this. 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 4, 5, 25, 4. One person writes, Matt, I was going to come to your trivia tomorrow night, but I was worried that my team would not be smart enough.

All I need to know is Ryan in the contest tomorrow, because at least I know I will beat one team. Oh, they better bring it. We're usually one of your top in. Have you gotten your team together yet? We're efforting. Okay. So that means no. Are you going to play for sure?

Yeah, I'm efforting. What does that mean? What else do you have to do? I don't. I'm trying to get my team. Okay. Who needs a team? We got that parade.

Feels like you got it. 859, 280, 8-8,022, 87. One person writes, Matt, I think we're going to win Saturday. As a matter of fact, I'm making my whole friend group. They don't want to go. but I think we're going to win and we're going to want to be there if we win. Drew, I've said this many times. Nothing better than being a road football game when you win.

Give me a percentage chance we could win Saturday. 15%, Bob. 15%. Yep. I'm not feeling great, but it's not impossible. With the defense, Kentucky has anything as possible. Ryan? Yeah, I like Drew's argument.

The defense's going to have to keep us in the game, so I'll give us a little more. I'll go 20% then. Okay, Shannon. 10. One out of 10, you get them. One out of 10. One out of 10 you get them.

All right. I'm going to say 22. I've got the most positive of all. I think it's a little less than one and four, but I think we have a shot. I think we have to get these turnovers. We've been saying we need to get in these games. That's going to have to happen.

I will remind you, the home field advantage at Ole Miss is not that great, especially for a noon game. Okay? They roll out noon game. That's 11 a.m. local time. Correct. That's another thing people forget. So it's, I mean, it's not even lunchtime yet.

They are a late arriving crowd. It's a small stadium. It doesn't really get that loud. And usually the other team has a decent presence because people want to go to Oxford. So even though I think it's one of the best party places to go in the SEC, As far as how hard is it to play, I would actually argue, Drew, it's not that hard of a place to play, especially at noon. I think you're getting them at the best time you can get them. Yeah, they're weird in that they'll, for these 11 a.m. kicks, they'll just tell gate after.

Like they plan to be there after the game, not even knowing the outcome, which would make winning there even more fun because they let you hang out in the grove after games. If you had just won and you're planting the flag in the grove, then you go over and pay that hunt. $100 cover at the library and take that over. They're a pretty welcoming group. So even if you do win, I don't feel like you'll find much trouble there. I think it'd be a great place to steal one if you're part of the crowd that makes the trip. And I think if you get a win like that on the heels of what happened against Georgia, Kentucky is kind of back in the conversation. You'll get a bye week.

People will look, people will look at the schedule coming up and see Tennessee and Texas playing and go, those teams better watch out. Kentucky, you never know. So I If I was somebody trying to consider whether or not to make the trip to the game, I would say to you, I actually genuinely think this is a game where Kentucky has a shot. I didn't think they had a shot against Georgia.

I do think they have an outside shot in this one, and I think you would want to be there if it happened. Let's go to Jerry. What's up, Jerry? Hey, Matt, just one thing that I think that, on, pay for this is Stoops's best team and we ought to be able to play with all these power teams. Well, it still concerns me. I don't know if you saw reading react after the LSU South Carolina game, but this is towards our offensive coaching is that they point out that

South Carolina was in the same thing to LSU's offensive line. They were doing our offensive line to being in that game, but LSU's coaches made an adjustment to a different zone blocking scheme that confused South Carolina and enabled them to run the ball. And that's I mean, it was better at the Georgia game. I'm still a little concerned about this offensive coaching staff, particularly on the offensive line, being able to make adjustments with these really good well-coached teams to give the chance to win.

I think, and I appreciate the call. I think, Drew, I am someone who has not only defended Mark Stoops, I think he is a good coach, I think he is a lot of really positive things that people don't give him credit for. I think what we do also have is a guy who his staffs traditionally don't change a lot during the game. And they don't make in-game adjustments. And when you play

these teams with coaches who do, and I will say we're going to play one with the coach that does that is able to make in-game adjustments with Lane Kiffin, I think we struggle with that. I think if we're honest, we've struggled with it for 12 years. I think the X and O component, I think Brad White's a good X-N-O

guy. Bush seems like he's pretty good, but I don't see us adjusting as well during games as a lot of these other teams that we play. Just a fact. Yeah, in-game, certainly not. I did think the Georgia game after they had just not been able to throw at all, they did a good job of going to quicker passes, a little three-step dropbacks. That worked a little bit with Georgia knowing that they couldn't protect, but they're going to have to keep preparing

thing. That line, I don't think is getting any better. They're going to have to find new ways each and every week to move the ball. I actually wouldn't mind getting away from forcing it to Barryham Brown so much because it feels like he does catching it now, doing a lot of dancing, and not getting a lot of yards. So just a lot of things. things I think we're going to change as the season goes on. I also feel like maybe just once, Shannon, we could roll the opposite way. He rolls right every play. Have you noticed that?

Like a basketball player that always goes to the right. Find me a play this season when Brock has rolled to his left. He doesn't. He rolls right every single play. And at some point, you have to think the other team sees that. he would go left. He might have the whole field Ryan open if he did it. Because you know they got to be selling out on that side

because it's the only way he rolls ever. You know, and Strups hinted last night that ship training may be coming back. No, well, today that he is back. So he will be, now whether he plays, how much he plays, but he is healthy now.

Do you think that will make a big difference? Yeah, because I think if we're talking about, you're trying to free up some passing lanes for Brock, just having one more back back there that can, you know, Dimo, Dino's been, Demi's been doing great, Will Cox has been doing great. Now you had another guy back there that can maybe help you open up some more passing lanes. I think that could be a huge addition. I'm glad Chips back, but I'd be careful just throwing him in there.

The other guys have been playing. They have been good. Right. Unless he's just so much farther ahead and they saw that practice in camp, he might be back in the line and would have to earn a lot of his touches. Do you really think they can just like take this guy? I mean, this goes to where the N I. part comes. I mean, he's got to probably be one of our highest NIL guys. Do you think they can just

not play that dude? Well, he'll have to play, but I don't immediately just move him to the front of the line and say, we're glad you're back because Demi and Wilcox have been really good. And with Wilcox, it's coming off his first big breakout game. I'd try to keep feeding him to see what you have there. Steve, what's up, Steve? Can you hear me? Yes. I always can hear you. There's never a time that Shannon, anyone asks, can I hear you? And I don't hear them, you know? Like, I always hear But go ahead, Steve. I'm going through the mountains by Knoxville, so not the best area or best city. But I did wake up at 5.45 a.m. in Louisville.

That was the loudest rumble of thunder. Thank you. So you, you're not, I mean, it was, I don't mean to do a whole show on thunder, Shannon, but that was the loudest thunder. I'm glad you're backing me up on that. Loudest one in the history of thunder, I think it's registered. By far. It was so damn loud.

Two other quick things. If somebody that is in a survivor pool with a very, very large payout, I was very excited about the results this weekend as I'm only one of, it's less than probably 5% of the pool remaining. The main one, the one at the Circa in Drew in Las Vegas, has had 14,700 people pay $1,000 to enter. So you can do that math. 14,700 people, $1,000 to enter.

They're down to 650 after three weeks. Oh, my. Which is people with real money on it with a huge thing, and they lost, they've lost, you know, like 18% of their people, or excuse me, 92% of their people already. And go ahead. Yeah. Mine's very similar to that.

And then lastly, as somebody that's also a degenerate gambler, I really like the spread this week in the Ole Miss game. If you're telling me I can get 16, 17 points, I think if, you know, we were right there, outplayed Georgia. If we actually win that game, I think this spread is closer to probably 10 to 12 points. So if you're telling me I got five points there that I would have made, you know, free if we would have beat Georgia, I think 17 points. I agree.

17 is great money for Kentucky. If they show up and play well, it will be close enough for them to win. 859-2-8027. We'll take a break. Beery back's KSR. Welcome back, Tughey Sports Radio. 859-280-2287. What person writes, Matt, when you see lightning, I've always heard count how many seconds until you hear thunder, and that's how far away.

Do you think that's true? I've heard that my entire life shift. Yes. I have too. Is it true? I don't know. I always believed it to be true. But what, so it is, it's when you see lightning, you count the seconds and each second is how many miles or feet or whatever?

I always thought it was miles. So how many miles is supposed to be? Well, it depends. One seconds, one mile, two seconds, two miles. But is that right? Each second equals a mile. Don't look this up. I want to ask what people know.

I believe it to be true. I don't know, though. One second is a mile. Drew, is that what you heard when you were going up? I've always heard this, but I don't know the exact. distance. I will say one second is shorter than a mile. All right. What about you? Well, you know, the speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound.

I am. The speed of light is much faster than the speed of sound. So you can see something off five miles away and see it quicker than before you hear it because the speed of sound is a lot slower. Okay. So back to my question. If you hear it, how, what's the, what's the distance? I have no idea what the scientific distance is. I just. So that's, so you're saying, Ryan, think it is true. Yeah.

So like you're five miles away, you see lightning, and then a little bit later, a second later you hear the thunder. Well, maybe five minutes later, you see the light and you hear the thunder like 30 seconds later. That means that the storm is moving closer to you. I'm with him. I'm picking up what he's putting down. You think it's like 30 seconds?

That seems a little extreme. I'm just throwing numbers out we can all comprehend. I'm going to go one mile every three seconds. Okay. I don't know the answer. This feels like something. this feels like something we've heard our entire lives, but I honestly don't know the answer.

Here, the National Weather Service says you can only see lightning about 10 miles away or less. So if you see lightning, it must be within at least 10 miles. Which gets back to that UK Southern Miss football game, Drew, because they kept saying it had to be within 8 miles and I would see lightning. So if the weather service says we could only see it from 10 miles, that means when I saw lightning, it was close enough. Yeah, I remember a lot of UK fans being like, oh, that was a long, that was much farther than 10 miles.

We'll keep playing because there was a lot of lightning that night. I didn't know that you can only see it to a certain distance. Yeah. If you hear thunder four seconds after seeing lightning, the storm is only one mile away. That can't be right. No, five seconds equals one mile. That can't be close.

For sound for the thunder? I said three miles for a second. No, this is the opposite. This says one mile is five seconds. That can't be right. I don't know. This just goes to show. This just goes to show, Shannon, that we say things all the time and it may have absolutely no relation to the truth.

And so far, not one person has given me the actual right answer. And even Googling, I can't find the right answer. I see an answer on Google now. What does it say? It says if it's 10 seconds away, that's two miles. So that's. So, yeah, about. Every five seconds.

Yeah. So five second difference is one mile. I would have thought that was much. Like, that's a long time. So if you see, this says if you hear thunder, five seconds after seeing lightning, it's a mile away. Wow. Somebody should have been out there counting in that Southern Miss game.

That really surprises me. That feels like that's a, I don't know, that really surprised me. Light travels 186,000 miles an hour, sound travel. 1,100 feet per second. I don't know how to do that math. That's too much even for me. Let's go to Freebird. How are you, Freebird?

Hey, a couple of questions, guys. What's up, Matt Thunder Jones? What's going on? I'm blown away by this five seconds for a mile. I would have thought that difference is a lot. But go ahead. On college game date, what do you think the percentages will be

that Kentucky gets picked by any of the experts, so-called? Zero. You mean against Old Miss? Yeah. Zero. Okay. And which one of you guys would be the most apt to making Pat McAfee's money game winning field goal?

Oh, that's a good question. I appreciate the call. That's a really good question. Of the four of us. Who's got the best leg? Who's got the best shot at the 33-yard field goal they do during game day? We could do this. We certainly could do this.

Who do you think has the best shot? Well, first of all, who can kick it far enough? I'm out. I don't think any of us can make a 33. I don't think any of us can make it either. I'm confident I can kick it that far, but I'm not confident I can kick it that straight. Yeah.

You proved you can kick kind of hard in your little soccer experience. And I did. I try, I've told this story before. I tried out as a kicker in high school. Left-footed kicker. A left-footed kicker. What are you laughing at? I'm just life.

Just laughing at life. You're not laughing at me. You think it's funny that I tried out as a kicker? Well, on the basketball team, you were told to turn in the ball for the clipboard, and then you were trying out for a football kicker. I'm just laughing at your profile, your athletic profile. I was a great. I was a good golfer.

I played golf and tennis. I don't have many people I get to laugh at. I'm just this one amused me. The good kickers are soccer players. I don't think any of us played soccer. I played when I was very young. I played growing up. Inside of your foot or like straight on.

Inside. You can't kick it straight if you kick it with your toe. All of you could kick it far enough if you kicked with your toe, but your chance of making it would be like nil. Yeah. So. So who, who if? I don't think any of us would make it.

You get a crown yourself? At least you try it out as a kicker. I don't think any of us would make it. I'm confident I could kick it far enough. Yeah. But I don't think I could kick it straight. What's the furthest you can make it? 10 yard field goal?

Yes. I could definitely make a, well, no, 33 yards is now an extra point in the NFL. You think you can make that? No. No. I said no, but I could kick it that far. Bill Meck is on the phone. Okay, weatherman Bill Meck,

are you here to answer the lightning question? Yes, I'm your man of science and precision right here. It is five seconds per mile. So you had the correct answer there. Google finally gave you the right answer. It has to do with the speed of sound. The light itself is instantaneous. It just takes sound longer to get.

get to you, but it's five seconds per mile. So on that football game, that Southern Miss game, when I was sitting in my house and I could see lightning, is it true? I couldn't have seen more than 10 miles? No, you can see much farther than that at night. The phenomenon known as heat lightning. It's usually a storm that is sometimes 40, 50, 60 miles away. Oh, really?

So at night, when your sky is clear, which it was over Kroger Field at that point, the lightning strikes that they were calling the game on at that point. There was one that was on the other side of Greenbrier from a storm that was in Winchester moving away. Then the one that came in at about 915 was north of the horse park. And that's the one that delayed then to almost 10 o'clock. But you can see lightning for dozens of miles at night. Okay, well, there you go. Look at this having actual information, Drew.

I mean, that's all right. What about photosynthesis? How does that? That's when sunlight gets absorbed by the whatever, the chlorophyll and the leaves and transforms that light energy into sugar. Oh, well, that's exactly, I feel like that's exactly what you're saying. Bill has your leg. How far could you kick a field goal? I actually was on Kroger feet.

Well, back down the Commonwealth Stadium. I got selected by P.Rats or somebody to go kick a field goal, and it turned into this whole debacle. because the other station got involved. And I have to ask you about that, Bill, real quick. I was too low. Bill, you sometimes seem to have, what is it about weathermen that makes them fight? Because I do feel like there's an abnormal amount of weatherman fighting on my app. What is it about that?

It's a competitive nature. You know, we're all looking at things differently, and we all want to be right. and I don't have to, you know, I don't like to yell and scream about it. I just let the results kind of speak for themselves. Oh, wow. Okay. Wow. My play on the field is the talk about it.

He's not a trash talker. He says, look at the record. All right, Bill, thank you very much. Appreciate it, sir. All righty, guys. Wow. Good stuff there for Bill. He's a huge UK football fan also.

He goes to every game. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yes, 859-28027. Corbredhip.com. last night I saw those blueberry the new one Shannon I thought do I do it and I chose not to

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.

It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano and our podcast Point Game is about defining 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 Nass would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers while 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 iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. There are times when the mind becomes a difficult place to live.

This is David Eagleman with the Inner Cosmos podcast, and for Mental Health Awareness Month, we're dedicating a series to understanding the mind when it struggles. I'm joined by doctors, researchers, and those with lived experience. We'll talk with singer-songwriter Jewel about anxiety. I started living in my car, and then my car got stuck. I was shoplifting, I was having panic attacks, I was agoraphobic. And making it through hardship. To be present is a learned skill and it's hard to be present.

We'll talk with John Nelson about clinical depression and the brain implant that saved his life. What I learned is that procedure made me happy because I'm disease-free. And we'll talk with leading experts like Judd Brewer about anxiety and John Hirschfield about obsessive-compulsive disorder. and the science of how the brain can change. This is a month of deeply personal and honest conversations about what happens when the brain goes off course and what we can do about it. Listen to Inner Cosmos on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. 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? Quarterback on office blue 42. Hey, rep, my mama wants you to wave at her. What? Where's she at? Hey, Miss Parker. Listen to the Cliverts show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. The story I've told myself.

about love or relationships can then shape my behavior, and that can lead me to sabotage the possibility of connection. This Mental Health Awareness Month, tune into the podcast Deeply Well with Debbie Brown and explore the journey of healing, self-discovery, and returning to yourself. We explore higher consciousness, emotional well-being, and the practices that help you find clarity, peace,

and self-mastery in a world that can feel overreliven. The world is becoming lonelier. We're not becoming more social and connected. We're becoming more individualized, but we actually need people in connection. If you've been searching for a soft place to land while doing the work to become whole, this podcast is for you to hear more. Listen to deeply well with Debbie Brown from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back. This is a great song, Shannon.

I play this on all our road trips. I looked at the map yesterday for our road trip to Seattle. How are we looking? All right. I don't know that people realize, first of all, two things. How big Montana is. Like, do you know how big Montana is? I say it's pretty big.

It is. Never been. Massive. Mass. It's big on the map. Here's another thing I don't think you realize. South Dakota is not that far away. Like, think about where you think South Dakota is.

Okay? Did you know it's like an 11-hour drive? From here? Did, because we've been. It's not that far. Yeah, not that far. I remember. Yeah, it's really not that far.

However, South Dakota as a state going the whole way through and then Montana, that will be most of our trip. Do you realize that? Like, most of our trip will be South Dakota and Montana. So if we're just looking at this by how many states we cross, this is one of our shorter trips. Yeah, we'll go Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, Montana, will just dip into Idaho, and then we will get to Washington. You need to get to Oregon? Is that what you need to get to Oregon? I have to get to Oregon. So there's a way we can do it where we can detour and go down through Oregon. We might do. that just because I've never been before.

I'll take some Oregon too. And that's the only state, Shannon, I haven't been to ever. So I feel like we ought to at least dip into it. What are we got Portland? What else is close there? That part of Oregon that's towards the north has basically Portland. So we could go to Portland or, I mean, that's it. Eugene's farther south than that.

I mean, really, we'd be just going to Portland. But I've never been to Portland. We could go there, right? Like we've never been. Yeah, why not? Why not? We go see Shaden Sharpton. We could go see Shane Sharp. Watch them warm up.

That's right. You should go see Shamed Sharp, Shannon, and then just walk out after that. That's what I'll do. All I want to see from Shaden Sharp is walking is going warming up. Just imagine he's out there doing a layup line by himself. So I was sitting there looking at that and there's going to be, I think, Ryan, a lot of open road for us this summer. Hopefully the weather is good. People keep telling me that we need to factor in that in December there might be snow.

That's when you and I have our in-depth conversations out on the open road on these trips. That's right. That is when we have them here. You're exactly right. Do we have a contact at Nike? It's not too far from the border. No, I think Cal severed all those Nike contacts when we were there. Doesn't Shane Boyd still work with Nike out there?

Looks like Ryan's got a contact. Ryan knows everybody. Hugh Freeze, the coach of Auburn. He, we know, we play them in a few weeks. And for people remember, Hugh Freeze was at Ole Miss. the scandal with the with the with the with the prostitute then he went to liberty remember he coached drew from a hospital bed in that game yes an incredible picture up in the booth he's now at Auburn so far this year Auburn has lost at home to cow I think did they also lose they lost

somebody early didn't they didn't they get up they just have two at home so they lost a cow at home and now they just lost to Arkansas and here's what Hugh Free said last night on his radio show I love Sam Pittman. That's the coach at Arkansas. And I hope he wins the rest of his games. But I'm telling you the hard truth. If we played them nine more times, we beat them nine more times. Billy Confidence.

That is what's hard to take. Billy Confidence. What do you think about a coach? Let's say he was the coach here. If we came out after we'd lost, they lost by 10 at home, by the way. They didn't just lose. They lost by 10 at home. what would you think about them coming out and saying, Drew, if we played them nine more times, we beat them nine more times, it stinks.

This is the one we lost. I couldn't believe he said that. They didn't even have a lead in the game at all. Arkansas scored first and went on to win by 10. I can't even just like how does a head coach even say that about another head coach? He says we're friends, but kind of talking like, we'll get the next nine out of 10. He just played you and you lost by 10 on your home field. On your home field?

The conversation ended last Saturday. I mean, on your home field, Shannon, on your home field. You lost and then you come out and say we would beat up. That's like something a fan on a message board would say, isn't it? I like the mentality of it. You got to believe that you're going to win, but you don't need to say that. You know, you could think things and not say them. He didn't say, though, we believe we'll win.

He basically was saying, this is a fluke. We did not lose. It was one of those. Who was it? Bill Self said we didn't lose. The time just ran out. or something after that one game. We didn't lose.

We just ran out of time. That's one of those we didn't lose because we're better than them, Ryan, so we didn't lose. This dude, he seems like the worst, Hugh Freeze. When he was at Ole Miss, I'm not sure if we ever played him. If we did, I don't remember that. But we're going to play him here in a few weeks and we're going to be hearing more from this guy. If I was a fan of Auburn, I talked to my brother last night, they're Auburn fans, said, dude, we don't, we don't paying you all this money to lose on a fluke.

We're paying you this money to win games, especially home games, especially conference home games. That's why you got this contract. I don't want to hear what you think you can project you can do in the next nine games. You've got to win right now, buddy. And they also lost a cow. Yep. I mean, they lost a cow.

That's, cow stinks. They've lost both games. They've lost to Cal and Arkansas back to back at home. They come here. That's a game Mark Stoops. Has to win. Has to get it. Has to win.

You cannot lose at home to veins. Andy or Auburn. You cannot with the way those teams have played to start the year. Who's up next? Bob. Bob. How are you, Bob? 859-2-807.

You're Mikezor. Hey, Bob. On your trip back to Oregon, you'll take I-90 across every you, forgot Wyoming, and take Ryan by Devil's Tower out there. We're going to be going. We looked at that once before,

and it was awful. You remember we went to Devil's Tower. That was... What was disappointing. That was one of the worst. That was maybe the worst. That to me, Shannon, was the worst natural attraction I've ever seen. Was Devils Tower.

Hours out of the way to get there, too. Yeah, I don't understand why people like it. It's just a mountain. It's just like any other mountain. There's just no mountain next to it. It's lava rock built up. Is it? But, yes.

I found it to be the most. I noticed what the shape was, believe me. That was very clear. No, it's made up of hexagon spikes coming up through there from the lava when it shrinks. Oh, I see what you're saying. It leaves its hexagon form. Yeah. Well.

But anyway, there's Sioux City, Sioux Falls. There's a Perkins restaurant. You need to stop for breakfast. Oh, okay. Well, good breakfast recommendation. You're saying that when we go through Sioux Falls, there's a Perkins. Yes, you got on 990. You know, I understand that takes you right into Oregon.

But what's so special about this Perkins in Sue Falls? Falls. It's just a good breakfast, and they got a big muffin there that's just out of this world. Wow. I know where I want to go. Amen. All right. And I think I said, that's a good bakery.

But anyway, that's a good trip, and I would like to be there with you. But I've been to Crow Agency, Montana, and that's 1,600 miles from a little. Well, I appreciate the call. The Perkins and Sioux Falls. The big muffin. It reminds me of when Drew, when you and I went through Huntington, West Virginia, and we asked Patrick Patterson's mom where we should eat.

Do you remember that? I know exactly what she said. And what did she say? Bob Evans. Bob Evans. I said, I call him Patrick Patterson's mom, Shannon. I said, we're in Huntington. What is the best place to eat?

And she goes, we have a really good Bob Evans. And so Drew and I, we went to the Bob Evans because that's what Patrick Patterson's mom does. It's really good Bob Evans, not just any Bob Evans. Yes. go ahead bill what's up guys um i i actually went through uh last summer my wife and our children went to south dakota and i got two things one if if mario likes corn and windmills he's going to love this trip if it goes yes that's true and and and two i just remember the biggest thing i remember we went to rapid or yeah we went to rapid city south dakota i think is what it was

but the worst drivers in the world are in Sioux city. So just be careful if you go through there. All right. Well, I will keep that in mind. I'm looking. We've made part of this trip before. We've driven South Dakota, but then gone South. We've never gone then North, which is what we're going to be doing on this one.

859-28027. We're going to take a break when we come back. I don't like to say something good about our rivals, but one of our rivals is killing it, and we got to discuss how we pay. Pass them.

I was six years into my career, the 80-hour weeks, and just the first one in the last one out and I ended up burning out.
