Welcome back, hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio, here next to the Aethon's exit off, what is that, 103, 105, what is the, 108, 104. I'll get one of.

I'll keep saying it. I'll get it. We're at the cornbread hemp farm member cornbread hemp. Has a new facility constructed in Louisville where they make their hemp products, but they grow it right here outside of Lexington, and they are harvesting it now, and you can certainly smell the hemp out here. He's going from farm to jar right now, right in front of our eyes. That's right.

They do this. How many times a year do you do this? Once a year, this is a big day. Yeah, it's why we're here. Load all the hemp plants on this flatbed truck. and they take it to the lab, and then they make their cornbread gummies. Somebody reminded me, I'll do one more Scotty Basler story. When he was in Congress, apparently he's known as being very frugal.

Like he won't spend any money. That's a good word. Not cheap. Frugal. You're kind of frugal, yeah. Yeah, I'm not. Live within my means. Yeah, I'm not. I just don't want anything, but I wouldn't say I'm frugal.

Ryan's frugal, you're a cheap skate. I'm absolutely frugal. So, Scotty's, this is kind of funny, though. Scottie was so frugal. He slept on a cot in his office. He did not want to pay for an apartment in Washington, so he slept on a cot in his office while he was a congressman. That's why I want to be my congressman.

I want a guy like that. You like that? Yeah. A guy who is like, you know what? Sleeping on a cot. I mean, how perfect is it? You go play basketball at 4.30, then you go back to your chambers and sleep for the night. Have you ever slept at work before?

Yeah, I slept at work when I was writing my book because I had a deadline and I had to finish it and I would sleep. I didn't sleep at Simon & Chuster. That would have been weird. But I slept in the old Louisville radio building a couple nights. Wait a minute. Did you sleep on the couch in the QMF studio? I did. Oh, my gosh.

Well, not in the QMF studio. I would sleep out there in that lobby, you know, area in the back lobby there. Okay. And I would sleep there. And in the last few days of writing the book, I did it. So, yeah, I've done that before. I used to do that. Like if there was a big snowstorm coming in, an ice storm, they would make a lot of us at the TV station spend the night there.

Because we should be there. Because they're not going to get you a hotel room. No. 859-2802287. Couple open calls. Give us a shout. Let me, I want to ask you a question. So, Arkansas, John Caliperi, in order to raise money for his NIO, you may remember that their logo in the center of the court at Arkansas used to be a hog that was slobbering.

Do you remember that? Huge, huge logo. They called it the sloboring hog, so it would be a hog, and there was like slobber coming out of its mouth. And I guess a few years ago, Arkansas decided we need to be classier. We need to have a hog, but it needs to not be slobby. A classy hog. I like that. They needed to have a classier hog, a non-slobbering hog.

Well, I think a lot of Arkansas fans like their hog to slobber. What are you laughing at? Continue. They wanted their hog to slopper. It's what they like in Arkansas. So John Calipari, I guess they did something where some donor came and said, I will give $500,000 to Arkansas NIL if you will bring back the slobbering hall. Really?

Wow. Yes. So I guess Arkansas trying to seize an opportunity to raise money has said that if this week, they raise $500,000 from fans, so it will match to a middle. million dollars this year their hog will slobber. I got a follow-up question for you. What is funny? No, no.

What are you laughing about? So for $1 million, you can have your hog slobbered in Arkansas. That's a lot of money for that. So my question for you is, Shannon, you. It's not, it's just. I'm not saying a word. My question for you is, Is there a Kentucky tradition or a Kentucky thing that you think if we could raise could be the equivalent of a Kentucky hog sloth?

For $500,000, can we bring back the wildcat with the phallic tongue? Oh, that's a good one. And then the slobbering hog right next to it. If somebody's going to get $500,000 for the phallic tongue wildcat. You want them to be next to each? Yeah. Okay. Before and after.

Okay. Did you take some gummies during the break or something? I was wondering where they went. It's unopened. Now I understand. Okay, so do you think UK, because I knew your answer was going to be the old tongue? Yeah. Could you see a world where UK agreed that if they raised a million dollars to bring back the old tongue?

And would you want UK to do that? Because you would be, like before it was unintentional. But now it would clearly be intentional. I, of course, would love it. But there is no way Mitch Barnhart would ever let that happen. No, he would not. No. He would not.

So let's, since we agree, that wouldn't happen. Are there UK traditions of the past that you would like to see brought back? I think one people are, a lot of people are going to say the Block K. The Power K helmet, that that's really the one that people would want. Is there anything else in 772-745254 on the text machine? Is there anything else that was a UK tradition that has gone away that you would like to see come back? Like the sloboring. Stickers on the court.

No. Oh, you mean the stickers back? You want the crooked stickers from Central Bank? I'm this personally dancing guy. I know we can't bring him back because he dropped. a kid. Yeah, that's going to be hard to come back for dropping a child. Yeah, yeah. I'm trying to think of anything else that just comes to mind. I got one. Okay, what? Doug. Doug. They didn't bring him back on. Oh, of course. Yeah, Doug called into the pre-show. You flip off one student section. Yeah,

come on. And then you can't come back. Come on. Where's forgiveness in society? I want all my blue code's doing that. You want that to be the thing. Exactly. You're an older fan, Ryan. is there anything you can think of that UK used to do that you think we ought to bring back? No, unless it's like, you know, just the Chicago Bulls intro music. You know, although I do like our intro music right now, but that was kind of a thing during the Patino era. And you guys hit the good ones. The Power K was going to be my answer.

I can't think of any more. Yeah, I don't know anymore either. But I do think it's interesting that they are having like a resurgence of this old slobbering hog and that they're willing to, for a million dollars, bring it back. How much will we have to pay to get Tom Hammett and Larry Conley to do one more game? I love those two as an announcement. Well, Larry Conley. Health is health not good?

Okay. Okay, I didn't know that. Yeah. No disrespect. You know, it would be cool with Tom. Yeah. Yeah. I love Jim Collin games.

Jefferson Pollitt Sports. Oh, you like maybe one game bring back the Jefferson Pott Sports logo? Like a throwback night, you know? That's actually a good one. I like that. So what if Pope wants to do a game in the denim? uniforms. You can for it or against it? For it? Yeah.

One game in the denim uniforms, I think it would be fun to play. I do too. I think it would be cool if we play St. John's in a couple years. To end that game, have them come out in the denim uniforms, the uniforms from maybe our best team of all time. That's the most likely out of the ones we've suggested to happen. I actually think that would be kind of awesome. Yes, it would.

If they, for one game, especially if it was against Petino, bring back those 96 denim uniforms, I would like that. If the internet existed back then, it would have blown up the internet. Yeah. You know, people seeing that for the first time. Okay, what if he wants to use the icicle pants for a game? Oh, I'm fine with that too. I think those would be really cool.

For one game, I mean, the problem those years was, that was our uniform the whole season. Yeah. But for one game, the icicle pants were cool. I don't care what anybody says. They were cool. I hope they do that. Just bring back those pants for a game, bring back the denim uniforms for a game. that's, you know, that era is what we're trying to.

We've all been alluding to since they hired him. We have a few of them. Bring back camp out. Yeah. I don't, they're not going to be able to do that on campus anymore because just of the layout of the building. But I still think the idea of that is a good one. And they should find a play, Shannon, to do that.

I understand why you can't do it on campus anymore, but you could do it, honestly, you could do it in Rupp Arena's parking lot. To be quite frank with you, if you wanted to. Fans want that, make Marsha the president, and make it happen. One person writes, how about bring back Ryan screaming at halftime? That's a good one. Yeah, I lost that gig. Wait a minute. Wild cat. Wild cat.

Hello, Ruperina! Do you think you saying squirt to the ceiling was worth you losing the job? I thought it was a good line at the time of losing my job over it. I don't think so because I wasn't referring to Tina Powell. I was referring to the basketball bounced so high. But it was the night of the Katina Pal interview.

So you could understand how UK might think you were connecting it to the interview that it happened earlier that day. They must not have watched the shot. The kid took it hit the rim and bounced way up in the sky. I don't think it went to the scene. Squared it almost to the scene. I don't think that was. This is the most double entendre segment that we have done in a long time.

Who's next, Rick? Ron is up next. Ron, go ahead, Ron. Hey, I can tell you where to go this weekend. Okay. I'll tell you where to go. Battle of Perryville reenactment. I've been to that before.

Have you? I have. It's cool, isn't it? I mean, to me... What depends on whether you're into it, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I get... I get it, but to me a Civil War reenactment is kind of odd, just because it's like you have all these grown adults,

and they're almost like playing dungeons and dragons just outside, but with coats on. It is. It is. I found it kind of fascinating at one point because the reenactors, they actually kind of compete amongst themselves to see who's the most authentic. Some of them assume actual ideas. identities of the people that were at the house.

I don't know. I mean, I get it. I'm not trying. I mean, there are people for whom, and I appreciate the call, there are people for whom that's like they love it. But there's just a little bit of sort of dressing up in those like uniforms and stuff that just it doesn't really do it for me. You're right, though. But the people that do it, they are 100% all in and doing it.

They travel around the area doing these reenactments all over the place. And how long does this go on for? Is this like a 20-minute thing? It goes on as long as the battles, so three to four months. No, it doesn't. No, I mean, they do it. It's over the course. Sometimes it'll be a weekend.

Yeah. Sometimes it'll be the course of an afternoon or something like that. I don't know if I'm committed to an entire weekend. I might watch a few minutes of it, though. Yeah. Perryville's, there was a battle there. Yes, that's why they do it there. There was a battle there.

859-280-2287. We have a couple open lines. What would you like to bring back as a potential thing? If you go to cornbread hemp.com, use my promo code KSR. You can try an alternative to alcohol without the hangover. It helps me sleep, helps these guys. We all use it. And you can, too.

The fastest growing business in the state of Kentucky and the fastest growing hemp brand in the U.S. is cornbread hemp. com promo code KS.R. And off if you use it, check it out. They've just harvested. It's gone now. It was here where we got here. It's gone now.

It's cornbread hemp. We'll take a break and be right back. It's Kentucky Sports Radio. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind.

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.

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. 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 MyCultura Podcast Network available on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up fam? 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 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, 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. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio.

859-28027. Jonathan says this will be my Whiskey Thief tweet of the day. Go to Whiskey Thief, the Great Distillery there right outside of Shelbyville. Jonathan says the tradition I'd like to bring back is winning a basketball game in March. Wow. Yeah. Good point there. That is a good one.

What a novel idea. I do like that one. Yeah, win in March. That's a really good one. One person writes, how about the checkerboards? No. No. We'll pay 500,000 people away.

No. As a matter of fact, one person says, what are the traditions you wouldn't want to bring back? That one's up there. That's probably number one. The pants that go down past your knees? Yeah. I liked them, but I think a lot of people hated when we wore silver that one time for a game. You remember?

Yeah. Like the silver basketball uniforms that was against Michigan. Michigan State up there in East Lansing. Yeah. One person writes, Matt, Civil War reenactments are like UK U of L games. They're boring because you already know who's going to win. Some strong tweets coming in today. You know what?

I got to say, those are pretty good, two pretty good tweets going back to back. Before we go to the phone, remember we talked about the Diego Garcia Island? Oh, yes. I talked about that. Didn't, like there was a dispute. Did you see they settled it this morning? Because you talked about it on the show. KSR.

I was crazy. They sailed it this morning. Britain has agreed to give back the island to Maritis or whatever the country is to allow the people to come back to the island, the descendants, and they have agreed to let the USA keep their military base. But for the first time in like 15 years, Britain is voluntarily giving it up. And this was right after we talked about it yesterday, or two days ago. they are voluntarily giving it up but the U.S. will be able to keep their military base. So see, bring it up.

People say KSR curse. This was a KSR bonus. As soon as we mentioned it, they fixed this thing that's been going for 10 years. Very peaceful ending there. I'm glad that we were able to work it out. They were able to come back to their island. We can keep our people there. So they're going to be able to come back if they have proof that their descendants. If they want to,

they will be allowed to return the island. And I will tell you, when we talked about it a couple days ago, The amount of our listeners that wrote me that have been stationed on that island, it had to be at least 15 listeners who told me they've been stationed, which means there have been a, I mean, think about just in our listening base, 15. So think about how many people, United States citizens must have been stationed there. And yet, I had never heard of the place. Apparently, like, no journalists had ever been at the place. So it's crazy that, like, so many people had been there. I'm sure you saw the same.

We got a text or tweet from somebody that said, it's beautiful, too. Like, the island is beautiful. It's supposed to have, they took pictures of it in that BBC story. It's supposed to have some of the most beautiful blue water, like the clearest blue water in the world because there's not been a lot of pollution because people haven't lived there except for the military. Hasn't been tampered with. Has it been tampered? Like all the other oceans and different parts of the world out. there. So now that the people have it back, do they, can they commercialize it or is there still?

No, because it's still a military base. So like, I don't think you can go on a cruise there. Yeah, I don't think you're going to be able to go on a cruise and go to our nuclear warships there. So who's up next? Shane is up next. Shane, go ahead, Shane. Hey, guys, I heard that you were plugging in some weekend events. So I wanted to see if I could talk about one in Somerset, Kentucky. You can do one if it's very quickly. Yeah, yeah. So this Saturday, Somerset, Kentucky, Cumberland Con, it's a paranormal common book convention. Okay, we're right there. I got questions. What's it called again? Okay, what's it called? Yeah, Cumberland Con. So you all are having a paranormal convention in Somerset?

Yeah, so it's a paranormal and common book convention. It's kind of like two worlds combining from 11 to 7 in Somerset High School. All right, so I've been to comic book conventions. Tell me what a paranormal convention is. It's a great question. So it is where you can have people can express their love of cryptics, their love of things that are paranormal, but also we're going to have special guests. People have craft vendors, paranormal vendors,

where people have made. So when you say paranormal, is this like these are ghosts, right, or monsters? Well, they could be ghost, cryptics. There's a little bit of the, you know, the whore nature in it, too, you know. So these are people who will come and talk about having seen ghosts or cryptics or whatever? We do have some people in our panels that will be talking about some of that stuff, yeah. Can we bring the ghost of Scotty Basler? Have them to speak there.

Okay, all right, so, and where in Somerset? Where in Somerset is this? So it's that Somerset, Humberet. high school. It's at the high school. The high school let you all in. I know. It's amazing.

All right. Well, there you go. Somerset High School. What's your favorite cryptoid, Matt? I don't know. I don't know what that means. Like Bigfoot, the Mothman. You know, I don't believe you.

You got the Pope Lick Monster. I appreciate the call. That's enough. I, I, you know, I don't believe in any ghost. So I certainly don't believe in big. foot except cash flow on paramount on Tulsa king season two i don't believe in any of that stuff because it's all fake well we like so i would show up at the convention and go you all know none of this is

real right like you can like it but it's all fake we got the poplic monster fest in louis what is the pope lick monster uh that is you know that train track that goes like it's up in the sky and it goes across the poplick park you know i'm talking about no well where's pope lick park Taylor'sville Road there you go Thank you Eric Taylor'sville Road So there's a train track And it's supposed to have a monster on it

There's a monster that lowers people up there And then they go up there And then this train comes across And they fall like 50 feet From the sky from this train track And die And there's been a lot of deaths there You think though there might have been a lot of deaths

Because unfortunately people may be committed suicide No No you think it was the Popeye monster Lured them up there Oh yeah Well that's a shame I don't want to hear about that You can mimic voices to make it sound like somebody like, Matt, come up here.

Sneaky little monster. What are you talking about? Look it up. You think I'm making this up? Yes, I completely think you're making it up. Look at the Pope Lick Monster on Wikipedia. See, this is what happens, Mario. This is what happens when you're in a by week.

Shannon ends up talking about Poplick monsters. It mimics voices. It mimics voices. That's completely made up. See, this field, I knew when you all start harvesting it, the smell. I knew it was going to have an effect on Shannon. Who's next? Mike is up next.

Mike, go ahead, Mike. Hey, guys. Something that I missed from back in the day is, I know this might be kind of unpopular. I miss the old Rupperina letters around the center circle that spelled Rupperina. I kind of wish. So, yeah, it used to around the center circle is now a U.K. logo. Correct. And it used to be a circle that said Rupp Arena.

Why did you like that more? I don't know. It's just a nostalgic thing. It's taken back to my childhood when I first started watching Kentucky games. It's more of a comfort thing, I guess. Okay, I understand that. The other thing I wouldn't necessarily bring back it's just more of a good memory,

but it was back in the days when you had to watch the games on tape delay. Yeah, I don't know if we'd bring that back. Watch the games on tape delay. Yeah, I appreciate the call. What do you think about having a game where you had the court, look like it did back then. You know, I think they've got that center circle. Is it out in the...

It's out in the lobby, I think. Yeah. So I always petitioned we should have gotten Big Bertha to hang over that center court. Big Bertha was such an ugly. It was so ugly. Yeah. You know, they're selling parts of the old court. So you can buy parts of the old...

This is not the court we use for one game to lose to UNC Wilmington, is it? No, but the new one looks just like that one. That's the one they're going to be using this. So you can buy the court that was used for how many years? Since 2001. Since 2001. So that's a court that's had a lot of famous people play. They're selling that right now because they will finally have the new court without the crooked logos and the loss to UNC.

Wilmington. Well, we're 0 and 1 on that court, right? We used it one game when we lost to Wilmington and they didn't use it again. What did they end up doing with that? Like after they had them, because they only played one game on it. What did they end up? Throwing into the wood chipper where it belonged, put it back in storage. That was one of the great, like, failures of all time.

bringing out a court. Brand new court, debut it. Brand new court. Logos crooked. And they lose. And then they go and lose to UNC. Wilming. According to some accounts,

the Populik monster uses hypnosis and voice mimicry to lure trespassers onto the trestle to meet their death before an oncoming train. In Louisville. And you believe that. Well, I mean,

it's on the internet. Well, if it's on the internet, then it most certainly must be true. 859-2-287. Kentucky Basketball Day is media day is Kentucky Media Day is next week.

That's next right here on Kentucky Sports Radio, live at the Cornbread Hemp Farm. Welcome back, Kentucky Sports Radio. Reminder, we will be at Shady Rays tomorrow in Lexington. Great. We're in Lexington the next two weeks at Shady Rays. And then our big, pre-Big Blue Madness show is at Kentucky branded next Friday. But tomorrow it's Shady Rays. Love to come out.

It's going to be always a fun gig out there. I have to say, today's show has been slow on callers, and I don't know why. Like, I was willing to take more than I normally do. So 859-280-2287. But it has been great on text. One of our better days on the text machine. All right. So let me give a through a few of these.

One person writes, Matt, my wedding ring is made out of a piece of the old rup floor from the 70s and 80s. my wife got a piece and put it in my wedding ring. That's pretty cool. I like that. That's amazing. How would you do that? I'm not sure. Get a little piece of it and a little splinter of it.

That's interesting. You know, they've made ink pens out of parts of the floor. Yes, I have one. That one guy always used to bring him. One person writes, Matt, it's not a UK tradition, but I'd like to get back to the SEC basketball tournament being played in different places every year. Do you agree with that?

I do kind of agree with that, whether you just rotate it, Atlanta, Tampa, Dallas, St. Louis. I was always very big on it being in Nashville every year, but I have to say the change in what Nashville is now is making it to where I'm more and more thinking I wish it would rotate a little bit. Because now it used to be that the SEC tournament in Nashville, the Kentucky fans took over the city. But now there are so many people in Nashville every weekend, so many parties, so much, like, it can't happen. So when you go, there's still a lot of UK fans, but it doesn't feel like it's our place anymore. It feels like we're sharing it with bros from, you know, bachelor at parties. And so, Shannon, I was a big advocate of doing it in Nashville every year, but now I kind of wish we had some variety to be honest. The good thing about it being in Nashville is the proximity of where the arena is to Broadway.

That is very good. You can kind of hang out there and it's all closed together. When we were in St. Louis or in Tampa, it was all kind of spread out. It didn't have the same feeling to it. I like Nashville, but I understand also moving it around to different cities. It's a tough call because you're exactly right. Tampa is spread out, so that's not quite as good. Atlanta, I like when it's there.

I think it could be there again. And I actually liked St. Louis. It was better than I thought it would be. Me too. But it's just, how many more years do we have Nashville? Like until 2031 or 2032. And then they just haven't said yet. There's one year it's in Dallas.

Yeah. It used to be in New Orleans every two or three years. I like that. I enjoyed that as well. 859-280-2287. One person writes, now how about this question? Matt, now with AI, we are able to recreate people's voices. Would you think it would be cool if we could use AI to recreate K. Wood Ledford calling the game?

Yes. Now, that's probably doable. Yeah. I mean, maybe not today, but you would have to have someone say what's happening, and then it go through K.Wood-Ledford's voice. Do you think that would be cool to have K. Wood-Led-Letford AI call a game? That blows your mind, but I actually think that's something that could be doable in the near future. Can we put like a K-Wood filter on Tom Leach's voice and make whatever Tom is saying go in K.wood's voice? Well, first of all, let's say you could.

Yeah. Would you want that? I think maybe one time it would be cool. I'd want to have like maybe Tom and K. Wood do a game together. Wouldn't that be awesome? Let them call a game side by side. Well, what if you did K. K. Wood and Ralph Hacker back for one game?

For one game. It's creepy. It is kind of creepy. It's also kind of cool. Well, first of all, let's say this. Somebody's going to do that. Right? Somebody's going to do that for a game at some point.

Somebody's going to bring back like Madden and Summerall or something. Surprise they haven't already. The question is, could you do it live or would you have to go back and like, you know, overdub it? Like voiceover. I don't know. I bet you there'll be a day you could do it live where the person says it and it just comes out in K. Kwood's voice. Yeah.

Technology may not be there, right? now to do it live. Jim Higden, I can tell, is baffled by that. It's hard to think about that. It would be interesting, though. Like, wouldn't it be... If you could hear Kaywood-Ledford call the 2012 national championship game. It's dangerous, too, though.

It is. Because, like, if I could take your voice and make you say anything I want to say. Oh, I think that's awful for society long-term. Have you seen, like, they're... Like, people are doing this with Joe Biden or Donald Trump's voice, and they're putting it on things he didn't say. And, like, you can't really tell unless someone tells you it's fake. But then I think what's going to happen is people are going to get caught saying things,

and then they'll say it's fake, and there's no way to show that it's not. You're not going to be able to believe anything, you see. Yeah, that worries me for the future. So let me ask you a question. What have you had a chance? They said, you can have K. on your show and they do it through AI where you're going to talk to Kay Wood on the show. Yeah, but it's not really his mind.

It's just his voice. Yeah, so if I was interviewing Kay Wood, I would want to talk, your Shannon's right, I would want to talk to Kay Wood's mind. I don't need to talk to a replica of him. I think that's a little different than calling the game where it's more about the cadence of his voice and what he's saying than his mind. So no, I don't want to interview AI, Kaywood. answer from somebody else's thoughts.

But I think hearing him call a game would be unique. Interesting. So this is, again, something about this setting has led us to have conversations like this. Who's next? Mike is next. Mike, go ahead, Mike. Doing good. Whatever they're.

Yes, we all were there. Yes. All right. Well, y'all need to come to Western. Get down to the big city of Cadiz in Tree County, town, Fetton. every year. Well, they have to bring us. Marion County brought us to the ham festival, so Trick County would have to do that. Yes, we definitely, we go where people bring us most of the time. All right, well, I'll have to talk. I know the mayor real well. Oh, dropping name, Shannon.

Pony up. I'm not going to tell you that he's an undertaker, but they'll do, like. Oh, he's an undertaking. He's not the undertaker. Sorry, I mean, he has been. both he's both the mayor of katies and the undertaker in the county well he is one undertaker he owns his own interesting I wonder if there's a conflict of interest there he both knows them when they're alive and then and then he gets them when they die all right well sir enjoy your new ham festival okay oh it's not you it's been going on all right well there you go enjoy your moderately old ham festival and I appreciate I appreciate the call. I got it. I got it.

He didn't give me the date, but I still got it. Who's next? Nancy is next. Nancy, how are you, Nancy? I'm good, guys. How are you all? Do it amazing. Okay, so I was going about, sometimes in August, I was traveling to Spencer, North Carolina,

and they took me through Middlesbril. I can't remember ever going through Middlesbrough, but it was very nice. I'm like, oh, this is where Matt Jones is from. So it's beautiful there. Absolutely beautiful. Maybe I went there as a kid. I don't know. Yeah, it is beautiful.

You go right through and the downtown is there. Got the big sign that says, home of Matt Jones? Yeah, about once a week, somebody will take their picture with it and send it to me. That's always very nice. Okay. So I'm just sitting here and you all are just making me crack up with everything going on over there. So maybe I need to get some cornbread. Certainly it'll make you laugh.

I think that's fair to say. Okay. You all have a great day. Appreciate it. 859-28027. I want to tell a quick story before we go to break. So if you were on Twitter last night, you may have seen there was a guy. He was like a police officer.

And he responded to one of my tweets and did one of those like, Matt Jones, I like you for Kentucky sports, but stick to sports. Don't be telling me what you think about politics kind of things. Right. Yeah. And I did what if I'm in a salty mood. sometimes I do, which is retweeted and say basically some form of no. Okay.

Turns out he was a cop. Okay. He was a police officer. I'm not going to say where because I don't want everybody to get frustrated with the guy. So he and I go back and forth for a minute while I'm watching the Braves and Padres on Twitter. And then I just decided because people were being mean to him and I thought they were being too mean to him. So I decided to write him privately. And I wrote him privately, and we had back and forth on direct message probably for 45 minutes a conversation where I sort of told him about my perspective on a couple things.

And he talked about his, and it was very, like very respectful. He said that one of the things I said actually made him think about something he did a little bit differently. and when it was over, he actually thanked me for the conversation. I went back and deleted the tweet because I wanted people to stop being, like, rude and mean to him. And it occurred to me in talking to him. I mean, this is a dude that if you went on his account, it's like all Trump, all MAGA, all this, and everybody knows what I think. But it reminded me of what we said about the vice presidential debate.

Like, away from that world, it was fine. And not only that, we talked and had a difference of views. We talked about it. He said he might have changed his mind on something. He actually made me think about something differently. And it just reminded me something that will be very easy to forget over the next 30 days. We all have more in common than we have a part. And we all are much better versions of ourselves offline or in my case in private messages with somebody

than in public when you're trying to dunk on someone. And Ryan, I just felt like I should share that because some of you that were online, you would have seen that conversation. It was a good example of we should give people, as I've said before on this show, give people the benefit of the doubt that you would like them to give to you. It's very well said. It's a very simple thing. But just give people the benefit of the doubt that you would like them to give to you.

And if you do that, I actually think it's a lot better. That's the way it should be. And I'm glad you shared that story because we don't hear those sides of the story. We usually hear that right, that side of the story. So it's good, you know, you can still be the way that it's supposed to be in your debate. And in life, when you're having a conversation, you never have the same conversations you have in public on Twitter or any social media for that matter. Again, this is another thing I've started saying that I think it's true. Whatever your weakness is, whatever it is, you're a worst version of yourself online.

Yep. If your weakness is anger or if your weakness is sensitive, whatever your weakness is, you are the worst version of yourself online. And I think that's true for me. I think it's probably true for everybody. And it was a good reminder of that last night. But then you go to private messages and you're having just a respectful conversation. Try to be the person you are in life when you are online. I actually think that's a good way to go.

If you're looking for a great new home where you're – now some people just suck on and off-line, Shannon, but that's not – but I don't think that's everybody. If you're looking for a great new home where you'll enjoy watching the games, how about Bluegrass HomeCenter? Bluegrass HomeCenter.com, multissection manufactured homes, It's two, three, four, five bedrooms. It's Bluegrass Home Center.com. It's on Rudy Bear Road in London, Kentucky.

Go check them out, bluegrasshomecenter.com. We'll take a break and be right back. It's KSR. Last night, a blown call changed the game.

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,

A, ref, my mom wants you. to wave at her. What? Time out. Quarterback on office blue with 42. Hey, Red. My mama want you to wave at her. What?

Hey, Miss Parker. Listen to the Clippers show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Hey, I'm Joe Dono. 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 me.

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. Syke, I'm a comedian. I'm not qualified to give good advice. Join me and my comedian friends as we riff, rant, 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 of chicken suit. Hey, cream, cream a chicken suit. This is Help from a Hypocrite, the worst advice from the dumbest people you know. Listen to Help from Hypocrite as part of the Mike Coutura Podcast Network

from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm CJ Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about 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 stopped by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the ball. Like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball.

So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back, Teddy Sports Radio, here at Cornbread, Hemp. It's all been harvested.

I like really honestly both of these teams. You can't both win. I know, and I picked the Falcons. I mean, my surprise team this year, and I'm going to go with the Falcons. You picked them to be your surprise. Where'd you do that? He on this show. Okay.

All right. What about you? Somehow I don't remember that. I don't remember that either. But I'll take your word on it. Oh, go with the Falcons as well. Billy's sitting right over there and he's a Tampa Bay fan. I'm taking Tampa Bay.

He won the Haybell contest. He's going to win the game tonight. Liam Cohen, Baker Mayfield, and Billy get the victory. Brewer's Mets, game three, winner take all, moves on. Game is in New York, which is weird because normally... Oh, really? I think so, isn't that right? They play two games, or do they play all the games?

So it's in Milwaukee. So it's in Milwaukee. All the games are in Milwaukee. So who you got? I don't think it matters where they play it. The Mets are going to win. They've been the hottest team in the last six weeks. I go Mets and go the under.

Usually, you know, the deciding games, they're always under. Is that true or are you just saying that? I think I'm just saying that. Okay, well, I'm going to take, I did not sound like a stat I've ever heard. I'm going to take the Mets as well. They've been hot. Can I say one more thing about baseball? If you want.

The Detroit Tigers are kind of the surprise team right now. They're starting shortstop from Louisville. Yeah, we talked about not knowing anyone. Their starting shortstop is from Louisville. What's his name? Trey Sweeney. Trey Sweeney. And his dad, John, Lissons, do this show.

He's probably listening to you now. John, I'm sorry. I missed your son. I'm now pulling for the Tigers because of you, John. KSR listeners kid playing Go Tigers. I like them anyway because they're an underdog team. Yeah. I've been to the playoffs and like teams.

Who's next? Ryan is up next. Ryan, go ahead, Ryan. Matt, I'm going to go quick. I know you don't have a lot of time. My first question, I got one question and something about Kentucky. Why do we not have table games? We have two places that have slots on popular level on down.

downtown, they've got sports gambling. How come we don't have table games in Kentucky? Yeah, exactly. We should. We should. There's no logical reason not to, but I would go say, look who pays for the PACs in the Kentucky legislature, and there you'll get your answer.

Yeah, I understand that, but they got sports gaming to. I agree. They should have it. They should have it. What's your other one? Here's the other question. I don't remember when Kentucky has been on national. TV three times in a row.

Correct. You know, you talk about, you know, ABC. Yes. And I don't remember that. It's got to be good for recruiting. We need to support Coach Stoops. I'm one of the guys that running down like everybody else. But I get on here, I forget what I got to say.

I got 100 things to say. That's okay. You're good. I got much to go on. I appreciate the call. The new ESPN TV deal has been great for Kentucky football. We've had three games on network television out of the first five. That would never have happened under the other TV deal. And last week, first of all, the Kentucky Georgia game,

which we almost won, was the most watch game in college football that week. The Kentucky Ole Miss game, which we did win, was the third most watch game in college football. Kentucky football's got more eyeballs on it in the last three weeks, two very good performances than we've probably had in years. And Ryan, that's causing the new TV. And the college's right. That helps recruiting tremendously. You're on national television and you play well and you upset the six-ranked team in the country. That absolutely gets you a lot of life on. During Ole Miss's final drive, where we held them, 7.5 million people were watching that. Only one game all day, George Alabama, had more people watching a moment in the game than that one. You cannot tell me

that's not good for the UK football program. Who's next? Corey is up next. Corey, go ahead, Corey. Hey, my first time, long time. Who are? Just got a couple things say about the draft king's done a $5 bet for the first time this week. Got the 200 free. Put 25 on y'all's parlay and hit big. Look at that. Nice. Congratulations.

You picked a good week to do the first one because we lost all the other ones. But we'll do another one tomorrow. Also, if y'all haven't been, Nott County's got a trail ride going on, a horse trail ride. They have two a year. The five ones this week, the other ones in the spring, the same weekend as the, Kentucky Derby. Interesting. So you can go and get on a horse and they'll have the horse?

It's just a bunch of people comes in from different states. They usually have 5, 10,000 people with horses up there. Oh, that's cool. Well, enjoy it. Enjoy it, Notting County. I hate to cut you off. I've got to go to break, but nice to hear from you. And congrats on your hit.

All right, tomorrow, we are at Shady Rays. Correct. Come on out, sunglasses. All of us will be there. Max is going to join us on the show tomorrow as well. So you can see Max there at Shady Race. Tonight we have the games 100% boost at KS Bar. Saturday, military, is Mario going to be able to make Air Force Navy a big must-see?

I believe in Mario. I do too. We'll see. We'll give him a chance to make the case tomorrow as well. And Ryan, I want to thank the folks here at Cornbread Hemp. You can see more at Cornbread Hemph.com. Very cool. A Kentucky business.

I remember when they set with me at Skyline and pitched it, and now they've become a major company, proud of Jim Higdon and all those guys over there. Eric, Eric, as well. We'll take a break. No, we won't. We'll see you in 22 hours. This is being Kentucky Sports Radio. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy, not quite.
