It is Wings Day here on a snowy December morning, dollar wings, 80 cent boneless all day. It's very rare you get the combination of a Wings Day and a game day. It's right. And you throw those together and you get happy wings. And that's what you have tonight when Kentucky plays Colgate. You can give Shown Clark's Pump and Shop phone line 859-280-2287. A-Vision Auto Glass Text Machine is. 772-745-254 in this edition sponsored by the T.J.

Smith's Middle Office. You call T.J. O'Make-May. We are here on a Wednesday. You know, tomorrow, Ryan, South Laurel High School is coming to this bar. This is kind of an amazing thing. South Laurel High School has a KSR club, a group of kids that get together and they listen to KSR. And then they also have a broadcasting team. and the school approved a field trip for them to come watch the show tomorrow, eat lunch here.

If I was in school, that would have been the greatest field trip at all time. To get out of school, to come to Lexington from London and sit and watch a sports radio show and eat lunch at a sports bar. What an awesome trip, and they're going to be here tomorrow. I didn't get to go on a field trip like that when I was in high school. We went to some boring museum or the William Henry Harrison monument. Yeah, we always went to a coal camp, which actually now would have been, I'd actually kind of like to go to a coal camp now. I don't even know if any of them are still around, but we went to a cold camp,

and I remember going, why are we doing this? And in hindsight, I'm glad we did. But if you could have told me I could have gone and seen like Tony Kornheiser, how exciting would that have been? Yeah, with all due respect to the Jefferson Davis monument that I love to go see in seventh grade, Nothing quite like going and eating wings and hanging out. Do you get wings? They're going to get wings.

They're going to get 100% profit boost. Maybe they won't get that. Did you all ever think you would be a field trip destination? Oh, that's a good question. No. I don't think so. I mean, you all are, we're an approved field trip. Yeah, the only time I've ever.

The only time the work I've done has ever been considered educational is former U of L wide receiver and now ESPN radio host Harry Douglas was my intern once. when I was a lawyer. Now he's on TV. Now he's on ESP, and so clearly that worked. So I feel like this will work for the South Laurel kids. I love this, that they have the KSR Club, listens to our show,

then they break down what we say, I think, and group discussion. Group discussion. But I come and now see it live as part of their... There's some things I don't feel like they need to group discuss that we've done on here over the years. Pretty much anything involving you. But, well, so it would be exciting to have South Laurel here tomorrow.

Oh, 50 people going to be here. 50 people. So we look forward to it. The other thing that I noticed besides that this morning, I was driving by on Herdsburg Road, driving by the Frisch's big boy. Yes. And Shannon, there were 40 or 50 cars out front. And I was shocked. Like, that's a lot of people, Shannon, for a big boy, don't you think?

Yeah, that time in the morning? I didn't even do. Didn't know they do breakfast. Well, apparently they do. and then I saw the sign they're closing today. Today is their last day. Oh, I didn't know that. The Frisch's Big Boy is closing.

So I guess a lot of Kentucky is like, this is my last time to have a big boy. And so they are like jam-packed on the last day, which makes me wonder, will the owner go, well, why don't we keep going? Where were you all? Where were you all a few months ago? I've seen a lot of friends posting,

they've gone to Big Boy this week. Like, I didn't, to be honest, I didn't know it was still around. I mean, I drive by it. I haven't been in a long time, but I'm with you. If I had a restaurant that was about to go under, I would like pump fake closing and get that bump. Next week go, we're closing. We're back.

Do they have one in Louisville, Shannon, or is this the last big boy in the state? No, I think they've still got one. I thought they had one on Bardstown Road in Fern Creek. Or maybe they closed that one too. I don't know. There's one in Georgetown. There is one in Georgetown. Yep.

Well, this is the last day for it. Wow. And so, you know, get your big boy needs. I just, when I saw that many people, because I've driven by there many times, and I think one of the reasons it's closing is I've very rarely seen any people, not today. Today is Big Boy Day. There's one by me in Hamburg, too. I assume it's just as busy.

I think all locations are. All locations are closing? I'm pretty sure. Nationwide? Well, I mean, just our local ones. I don't know how far that spans, but in Lexington. Well, RIP Big Boy. I mean, that's like that was in Austin Powers.

That's had a lot of stuff over the time. They should close them all down and open up Chee-Ces right there where they're. Maybe they are. I don't know. That's a great piece of real estate right there on here. Yes, it is. Like, I'm sure they're putting something in there that'll be. So now what happens to the big boy statue?

It's a good question. Maybe Tyler Childers are by it and right next to these Abraham Lincoln statue from Eric C. Con he bought. That would be great. You have Abraham Lincoln and then you have the big boy. Big boy. and have that in your yard. So anyway, I noticed that as well. And then the other thing, last night, I watched a lot of sports.

My canes came back and beat the San Jose Sharks, which was a nice win. I watched Tennessee play. And then Arkansas with, I can't remember of their coach's name. Oh, John, John Calgary. He was down 15 in the first half. Then he got up 18 in the second half. and then nearly lost at the end. It was an amazing roller coaster of emotions.

And then when it was over, he was barking like a dog. It was like the full Cal experience last night. And I have to say, I enjoyed watching it, and it further confirms that the SEC is going to be stupid hard this year, Drew. Yeah, I only saw like the first two minutes where Michigan was looking like the much better team. And then I switched over, had to catch up on Yellowstone, you know, much more important. I heard they ruined the show. Did they run and get all the way through it?

So I'm not, I don't know yet. Okay, I don't know. I only got through one and a half of the last two episodes. Okay, so I haven't watched it, but I heard the guy who created it, his name is Taylor Sheridan. Is that right? I heard he put himself on the show. Well, don't spoil anything for me. Have you haven't seen him be on it yet?

I'm still behind, no. But thank you for spoiling that. Well, I mean, well, but I mean, you don't know who. Well, I don't know what role, but no. Exactly. So how's it's spoiling? Well, when people are complaining, I have not seen all that. Yeah.

he put himself on the show and made himself like he was the coolest guy in the world. And a lot of people are very upset about that. And it included having, okay, this may or may not be an actress's name. Is there an actress named Bella Hadid? Yes. What is she playing? I don't know, but I've heard that name. Apparently, he put her in it as his, like, girlfriend.

And so a lot of the Yellowstone people are complaining that he's just tried to, like, one-up Kevin Costa. I have no idea what I'm talking about. But anyway, go ahead. Well, and then when I saw that Arkansas had come down to the wire, I turned that off and went back to Arkansas. So I only saw like the first two minutes and the last two minutes. But it was, I didn't even realize they had gotten up 18 at one point. They were a wild ending.

Yeah, Arkansas. DJ Wagner played well, so they were able. So the SEC now, right, as of right now, Joe LaNardi has 12 of the 16 teams in the tournament and one on the bubble. So basically 13 of the 16 teams. The record for all time would be 12. So we went through the schedule yesterday. This conference play, there's going to be like no breaks.

Yeah, nobody ever talks about Vanderbilt and they're 9-1. They don't talk about Missouri, and they just beat number one Kansas. This conference is loaded. Well, you said the one was that Jeff Goodman said maybe the best the SEC has ever been, ever competitive-wise. Chris Betola said might be the best conference ever in the history of college basketball, in terms of depth. That's a pretty amazing thing. And I will say once again, for longtime listeners of the show, thank you Mike Trengeese.

You remember you mocked me for that? Oh, I did. You mocked me. Yes, I did. When the SEC hired Mike Trengeese and said, we're doing this to make the SEC basketball better, are you willing to apologize to him? 100%. Yes.

I think he went in and we're going to try to get some better coaches at the schools. Well, first of all, look at the coaches. Yeah. I mean, just look around. You have, obviously, cows at Arkansas, Mark Pope's doing great here. You got Rick Barnes. Yes. You got Bruce Pearl.

You got Nate Oates. You got Chris Beard at Ole Miss. You got Buzz Williams at Texas A&M. You got the dude at Florida that I thought got in trouble, but I guess didn't. Todd, Goldman, what, Mike White? Mike White at Georgia. Georgia. I mean, that's a pretty good, pretty amazing group of coaches, isn't it?

It is an amazing group of coaches. Then you add Texas and who's the coach at Texas? Oh. Shaka smart. No. I'm going to Blake. Shaka's back at Marquette. Either way.

He was the interim guy they kept. Yeah. Point being, Drew, this is the best it's been and we're going to have to run through that gauntlet. It really is crazy. If you just look at the standings of the SEC and see all their records and then I guess South Carolina is the one team with three losses, not that that's even that bad. That's not that bad. That's not that bad.

Everyone else has one or two or undefeated. I mean, I watched Tennessee for the first time last night. They're good. Yeah, they're looking real good. That Chas Lanier, who Kentucky tried to get, he looks very good. I'm still don't know if they're number one worthy because they're scheduled, but they're a nightmare. I mean, whoever wins this league, I think it's going to be tight and there's going to be more losses than we've seen at the top. I think everyone's going to beat each other up.

Yeah. Now, tonight, Kentucky plays Colgate, and, you know, most people would go, whatever. I mean, this is kind of one of the last two. stinky games. Kentucky's a 30-point favorite against Colgate. But Drew, you wrote a story which came from the Colgate official site that I think is really neat about tonight. And sort of what BBN is and et cetera. So tell people what you saw about the Colgate professor.

Yeah, this was on Colgate Athletics, so you can get all the details there. But I kind of summarized it and sent people that way on our site where there's a guy, a professor at Colgate, who passed away last year. Ephraim Woods. He's originally from Ashland, but he loved Kentucky basketball, and he had been teaching at Colgate for 20 years and just over time embraced Colgate basketball. So those were like his two teams. But he'd go to practices. He started a program with student athletes. I mean, everyone just knew him as the basketball guy, but that he also liked Kentucky. So then the coach knowing that, the story says, has been trying to schedule Kentucky

versus Colgate for this professor for, he said, several attempts the last few years, and couldn't get it done to this year. But unfortunately, he passed. passed away with cancer a year ago. So they are playing this game. So Colgate's bringing his family. His son is a Colgate recent graduate. The whole family's flying with the team and going to the game to see, you know, I don't know how much the family followed Kentucky basketball, but their dad.

Think about how neat that is. I mean, it's a guy who grew up a Kentucky fan, taught at Colgate, wanted to see these two teams play. It didn't get to happen while he was alive. But now it gets to happen tonight. His family's going to be there. That's very cool. You know, I understand that they have a lot of things they have to do.

It would be neat if Kentucky could find a way to acknowledge the family or something throughout the game because that's, you know, he's not with us anymore, but what a cool story. And again, another example of how Big Blue Nation sort of extends all over. I love this story. This is awesome. And this is really what UK basketball is all about. I don't know this, but I guess probably his family, he probably has brainwashed him to be Kentucky fans that's kind of what we do you know we pass it down we pass it down to our kids and i wouldn't use

the word brainwash that feels like that feels like a little manipulative it's more like pass it like you wouldn't say they brainwashed them with their inheritance it's almost like it's almost like it's passed along it's not brainwashed it's sort of it's sort of given in love given in love brainwashed force her to watch the game and we hear that all time like guys wives are from not from kentucky but they become kentucky fans yeah we meet a lot of the I love this story. I think it's great. Even before the game was scheduled,

and they've written a story about that. There was a story when he passed. He was clearly a very popular teacher and very close to, like, the basketball players. But it shows him teaching at Colgate, and he's wearing a Kentucky blue quarter zip in his class. Well, speaking of teaching, you know, today is my final exam. It is your final exam today.

I stayed up last night. I wrote it, rearranged some stuff. The problem is that my exam today is at three. Yes. And it ends at five, and that's pushing you. it for me in the pregame show. So I'm trying to figure out, what am I going to do? And so I'm going to go start the exam, but I'm taking Professor Maitland, Mario,

and he is going to finish the exam. His job is going to be to make sure that after I give the exam, that they don't cheat. Now, here's the thing, Mario. You got to watch these people, all right? Sneaky. They're sneaky. They got the AI and they got the chat, GPT, and they got. got the TikTok and they got all these things and you have to make sure because they do the

thing on their computer but they can't get on the internet so you have to make sure that they're not surfing on the web when they're supposed to be doing the exam so Mario's going to go in there and I'm going to go you see this guy right here he's going to come after you if you're not careful and he's going to make sure Drew that my my students they don't cheat on the final exam I mean I let them bring in all their notes I let them bring in everything that you're not thing they've worked like they it's open book yeah but you can't get on the internet sure and that's what he has to keep them from doing i'm excited to see uh well see it but hear about how professor mario handles he's already got his sweater on yeah and we've seen him lay it down here what's his line

we're not doing that is that what he's yeah we're not doing that he's like a and so if he sees anyone on on the apps so you don't let we're not doing that you don't let these people cheat these kids today they'll they'll try you you you don't let him step so he got to walk a around the classroom and just look over everybody's shoulders. He's got to have a ruler. A ruler. Smack them on the hand if they end up cheating. That's right.

859-2-80-2287. Text machine is 772-7-7-4-5-254. Look, Billy has the exam right there. There it is. Thank you very much, Billy. Hot off the presses. Here's the exam. There it is.

Yes, we'll take a break. Be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Last night, a blown call changed the 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 SportsSlice 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 course. questions everybody wants answered.

Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what.

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

He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the ball.

Like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover, and a Gen X woman walking through life one hot flash and hormonal crying jag at a time. You ladies know what I mean. I'll bet you a perimenopausal chin here you do. So let's talk about it. Join me on my new podcast.

How hard can it be with the Adamia Riva, where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate midlife's most fantastic BS. All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own. I was like, what the hell is that? I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive. Wait, what sex?

dating at 45. How hard can it be getting naked at 50 with the new guy? That one's kind of hard. Well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears or tears of laughter, and dive into it unfiltered and unbothered and ask, how hard can it be? I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public. Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva as part of my Cultura podcast network available 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 hard, 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? Time out. Quarterback on office blue with 42. Hey, ref, my mama want you to wave at her. What? Where's she at?

Hey, Ms. Parker. Listen to the Cliverts show on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Yeah, don't even think about trying to cheat, Georgetown students. I think it'd be worth it if we just sit and watch Mario in action. Sitting the back of the class. Watching the professor.

There it is. There's the final exam. Yeah, I got all the, you know. So you change it up each year. Yeah. I mean, it's the same general format. But I, you know, because some years I teach different things than the other year. We did a lot. We did some election stuff this year because the election was going on.

I didn't do that in past years. So it just kind of depends on what's going on. That's a lot of pages. That's a big final. Well, I mean, this is every person going. It's one page. But when you had them all together, it's not a 14-page exam. for each student. I thought it was. I thought that was the entire exam. These are 14 pages,

each of which is for one student. They don't have to pass the exam around and share it. We got them each their own copy. 859-280-2287. People are telling me, Drew, Taylor Sheridan has been on that show the whole time. I've only seen, I can't get, I can never get through the first episode. He kills that guy, and then they just like bury him in the street. And I just, I just, I felt like it was a little, a little much. I've heard the show with Billy Bob Thornton. What's it called? Landman. Landman.

I've heard that's good. Have you seen that? I've recorded that one, just haven't had a chance to start it, but I'll catch up at some point. Yeah. All right, so before we get to phones, let's talk for a second about your guy Luigi.

I've decided he and the murder is not what I want to focus on. Like any big story, it's the secondary characters that make it better. Okay. You remember, like, when the whole Rick Petino trial happened, Rick Petino and Katina Powell were less interesting to me than the other people. Like at the Karen Seifer trial, the guy who said, who had hooked up with Karen Seifer, and they asked him, does she even know who your name is?

And he said, yeah, I wear it on my belt buckle. Like, those are the people that are interested in me. Have you seen the guy who was at McDonald's in Al-Tuna? When they caught him? When they called it. No. Have you seen that guy? I haven't seen it. He did an interview.

you. I'm highly suggesting you look this guy up. So he, first of all, it's the same as it is everywhere in America. Group of old dudes drinking coffee in the morning. Yeah. Every McDonald's in America, Drew, you could see that site right now. They're all solving the world's problems. Every McDonald's. You could go to any McDonald's. There's going to be a group of four or five old guys.

They're going to be talking about the world, and they are going to fix everything. Amen. Yep. They're sitting there now, Tuna. They're having their coffee. Sure. Now, it's interesting. I thought it was the McDonald's employee he spotted.

No, it was the five old dudes. Oh, it was. But here's the interesting part. Apparently, one of the old dudes goes, I think that's the guy that shot the guy in New York. And they were like, no, it didn't. And he was like, yes, it is. You don't know what you're talking about?

You don't know. Yes, I do. No, you don't. Yes, I do. And they, like, argued with each other. And their argument apparently was so loud that the McDonald's worker heard it, then looked, and they were the one that called. So the old men in the McDonald's, their argument got the worker. So they interviewed this guy outside yesterday, and he's like, yep, my friend said it was him, but I was like, no, it wouldn't.

And it turns out he was right. And he goes, here's what I don't understand. We were arguing so loud, he had to have heard it. Yeah. If the employee heard it. He was like he was just sitting right there. So this guy was sitting there while the old dudes were arguing about whether or not it was him. Yeah.

And he didn't get up and leave. He's just asking to be caught. And then did you see his lawyer? No. Oh. Luigi, you're going to need to get a better lawyer. All right. He just got some guy in Al-Tuna.

I mean, I'm not one to judge people, but I feel like I've seen lawyers call Romance. All right? Your Altoona guy, I don't think he's ready for prime time. He did some interviews yesterday with the press, and I just thought, I don't think my man's ready for this. Now, to be fair, he probably woke up that morning in Altoona didn't think this was going to happen to. Yeah. Right. But I would just say, look up, Louis.

Luigi's lawyer might be time for him to get some different representation. I was a little surprised going back to the spot of Matt McDonald's. I always thought the eyebrows gave him away, but in the pictures from McDonald's, they're kind of covered up. So it makes it even more impressive that those old guys were able to even spot him at all. Did you see the picture of McDonald's? I did. It doesn't even look anything.

It didn't really look like him at the time. So these old guys, I mean, they really. Yeah. And he's like he's, he's called. I mean, not only did he have. everything on him. When they arrested him yesterday, he started screaming about why he did it. Did you see that?

No. Where have you been? Like, how are you not watching this? I did not see any of this. As they were giving him the walk into the prison, he's screaming back at the, at the, at the, at the, at the reporters. About media. About media and how it's their fault and all this. Like, he's, he's done.

Yeah. Like, he's, he's done. But, but the second, just imagine. for a second if you lived in Altoona. Would this be the biggest thing that's happened to Altoona anywhere? I mean, this is a national, maybe international story.

I can't think of anything Al-Tuna. I don't even know anything about Altoona. I don't know. I don't know what would be bigger. The guy said, you know, a lot of people in town think he's been here for a couple days. So you know what that means is

the whole town thinks they saw him somewhere. Right, like that's what's happened. The whole town's like, remember, I saw him with the Wendy. And the other one's like, no, he was at the dry cleaners. Like, and that would be, that town has to be so full of gossip right now, Drew. I think I would love to just hear. Because at this point, everybody's seen him, a couple people made out with him. Like, you know that whole town.

I saw him first. I told my sister that it was him, and she didn't believe me. You know that's happening. But, I mean, since it is a. tragic story if you're al-tuna do you do like do you put anything up for this like is the McDonald's uh now a historic McDonald's does it need a plaque well that was another thing the old guy said the old guy said I went to the barber shop and they told me he'd been arrested and McDonald's and he said I thought it was this McDonald's but it could have been the other

and I was like this is great I like you know if you have I don't know how small al-tuna is I've heard of it. Yeah. That has, that town just has to be buzzing right now, don't you think? That's the number one topic for the next couple years.

I would think so. Nothing is going to top that for the next few years. We'll take your calls right for this. KSR. Welcome back, Techie Sports Radio, 859, 280, 20287. One person writes on the text machine, Matt, I can't believe that's the dude.

Nothing makes sense about it. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I don't think he did it. The eyebrows are different. Stop it. manifesto on him. You couldn't have more proof of a person doing it. It just goes to show that today's world, I used to laugh about Shannon being a conspiracy theorist. He's mainstream now. Like most people, they don't, everybody's like, I think the people who do this for a living

probably are better than you on YouTube at figuring out who did what. And as far as his eyebrows, he could have plucked them. Like, right? It's not like those are unfixable things. I'm not saying there's experience. It did look like, didn't look like the same person in several of those photos. I'm not saying, are you doing this too?

No, no, but I mean, just objectively, if you look at the photos, show Matt and see what Matt thinks. So why is he screaming? Why is he screaming as he's getting arrested about health care? I haven't said anything about that.

I'm just saying if you look at through photos, that's why it's so impressive they were able to identify him. No, that part's impressive. But you know, you think he's the one that didn't, right? Oh, yeah. I mean, he's admitting to it when he's screaming.

He basically admits it. And yet there's still people go, I don't know. Did Google or Yelp take down all those bad reviews? They should. It shouldn't get mad at the McDonald's. No. It's not the McDonald's fault.

Not their fault? Look, the old guys caught them with the coffee. Like, what are you going to do? Are we going to cover the 30 points tonight? That's a lot of points. But I expect them to put up a lot of points tonight. They should be another 100-point game, so I'd probably say yes. Okay.

The three's got to start going in. I mean, we're still of the belief this is a good three-point shooting team. Four straight games. They've had four pretty poor shooting performances. I'm going to say they turned it on tonight and have another fun game. Yeah, I kind of feel like they're going to cover it, too. I think you're right. We need to make some threes.

I mean, we've got Louisville coming in Saturday, which we're going to talk more about. We need to actually start hitting some of these shots because we're not going to be able to keep winning, shooting 24, 25 percent from three. Maybe Danny will call in with an update on Lamont Butler. He's going to play tonight or not. Yeah, that didn't work. Shannon, you were stammering the middle of it. Do you think it's not him? You do think it's him, right?

I mean, I'm with Drew. Like, it looks like it could be a different person, but if they found the manifesto on the guy, then I think that's all you need. And the gun. Let's also remember the gun. And a gun. Where they did it. Yeah.

If it's a what gun? No, I said if it's the gun. Yeah, they've already said. I mean, there's plenty of people walking around with guns, but yeah. But I mean, they have a gun that matches the bullets that killed the guy. Yeah. I'm just saying, like, the picture does look like two different people. That's okay, but there are things that are more scientific than the picture.

I would think you would want to change your way you look, cut your hair, diet, cut off your mustache, whatever. But when they arrested him and you saw him, that was him. Yeah. Right? That was him. It was him. Come on. Sometimes I feel like.

I mean, that can be true, and it can also the picture not look the same. I think you're trying to give us a point we're not making. It's just impressive they were able to identify him. But this person, where I'm starting is this person said it's not him. This person that rode in. That's just crazy person. But Shane and I are saying it does not look like him in those photos. That can also be true.

Who's up next? Todd. Todd. Go ahead, Todd. Hey, Matt. I was just reading KSR today, kind of getting caught up on the scoop and everything, and come across the article about the guy getting chased by the police when he's riding his mule. Yes, I saw that.

That was in Murray, Kentucky. There was a police chase with a man on a mule. right and that that remind me about an incident that happened in Taylor County where I live at many years ago I think it was either the late 60s or early 70s it doesn't matter what year it was what was it it was the Taylor County Sheriff got arrested for DUI and it took his car away from him well the next day he come to work riding his horse and he hitched his horse up out in front of the courthouse there and that got a lot of uh attention you know with the newspapers and i'm not sure if the Louisville tv station come down here or not but uh if you look that up taylor county sheriff uh his name was junior sprows all right well i appreciate the call todd what about the guy at Murray, Shannon, who was chased by the police on a horse. Did you see that? Yeah, yeah. So I guess he went to the liquor store to get some more alcohol. He was already drunk. He was parading down a

highway and led the police on a chase. I did not know that a horse could be a DUI. I knew that like a tractor could or some of those things. I'd never really consider that a horse could. And it was also the middle of the afternoon, too. Well, there's a lot more to this. that has been alleged and passed around Murray. But he got Saturday, this is in the news. He got kicked out of a bar, told to leave. Some people said he was hitting Christmas lights with a whip. That's not in the news, but I like to think that that sounds like some people said.

Like Indiana Jones and like pulling him off the wall. Somebody on Twitter said that, I want to choose to believe that. But that was not part of the news. But then they impounded the mule. And then on Monday, when he got out of jail, he went and got his mule back. And that's him riding away from the impound. I guess he stole his mule back so he got arrested twice in three days

for riding that thing around. See what you got to look forward to once your cowboy hats come in guys once they ship in you guys are going to be doing the same thing. He got his mule that had been taken because Saturday he got a bunch of charges. He drank too much with his mules. They take his mule.

He tried to ride home from the bar after getting kicked out. He goes and gets his mule back out on Monday. And then he's like, let's do it again. That's him and the mule breaking out. And he spanked his mule. He got animal cruelty charges on both. Yeah, he got cruelty charges.

Oh, he got cruelty charges for spanking. You can't do publicly spanking ass. You can't do that. Well, I understand that. You shouldn't do this. But in the video, when he's riding and they're chasing him, he turns, it's the video I posted. He turns and tips his cowboy hat at the guy filming almost like he's some kind of mythical cowboy riding through town. Well, I mean, he did get a lot of attention for us.

He did. You'd think if you're trying to ride a getaway vehicle, a horse will be better than a mule. You know, the mule's not a very fast animal. You would go with the horse. I would go with the horse over the mule. maybe he could have got a little faster down the road. Look at Mario's face. He's like, I need to move back to Florida.

Who's up next? Let's go to Joe. Joe, how are you, Joe? Pretty good, pretty good. First time, long time, guys. Who are? Just want to say, just out of the gate, you know, I think you guys are already headed to the next level.

And it's Ryan's inconsistency that are really keep you guys unique and flavorful. Well, thank you very much. Start there. No, I had two big questions because I love your guys' perspective on all things Kentucky sports related. With the NIL and where our football program is at, are boosters at major programs, the ones that are basketball-oriented or football-oriented, are they going to be able to support both on a consistent basis? I would say no. I mean, I think every school, and I appreciate the call, I think every school is going to have to choose a couple of

of sports to be good at. I think, I think, you know, like Tennessee this year, won the college world series, has been good at men's basketball, is in the college football playoff, is I think their women's basketball team has gotten better. I don't think you're going to be able to continue that forever. I do think schools are probably going to have to choose. Now, the way I think they're going to have to choose is based on how much of the revenue share they give to each sport.

Like, what percentage of that $22 million do they? choose to give to each sport. But I think it will be very, very difficult to be good at all of them. I mean, UK's trying to be good at all of them, right? Like, UK's put, you know, trying to be in place to be good at all of them. But, Ryan, I just think, practically speaking, you're probably going to have to pick football and one or two others and then hope that the rest works itself out. And it's all up to each individual school, right?

How they decide they want to split it up? That 22 million can be split up. As I understand it, and it may still change, but it can be split up how, the school wants. But it looks like most of the schools they believe are going to choose to do like 70 to 80% football and then everything else splits the rest. It's going to be very awkward behind the scenes. If you're a coach trying to do the best for your program and you know you're just not

getting the support you need and the guy across the hall might be, you know, getting a lot more for a similar sport. And you might have to decide. And you might have to decide, you know, where does my money go the farthest, right? Like what, you know, you could put a half million dollars into volleyball and contend for a national championship. Do you want to do that? Like, I mean, there's a, these are all going to be decisions the school's going to have to make over the course the next few years. It's tough because obviously playing in the SEC, that revenue that comes in from just playing in the SEC is huge.

So you want to invest in that. But yet if you back it up four and eight season with another four and eight season, it's going to be tough to kind of justify it. And then when you have a school like Kentucky where we expect our basketball team to be good, I mean, BYU signs the number one player in the country yesterday, and they gave him $7 million. That's crazy. $7 million. Crazy. So, like, that's, I'm sure, I would venture to say that's more than this year's U.K. basketball team is getting in I.

I might be wrong about that, but I don't think I am. I was wondering that when it was kind of thrown out there, what he got? Like, how many teams have even put that into it? I bet you, I'm not sure there is a team that has $7 million in an aisle this year. I mean, you know, if you, again, it's all speculative. Nobody, this is another good thing that's going to happen with the revenue sharing. Is the money paid is going to be announced. You're going to know what these dudes are making.

Is that good or bad? You can almost argue either way. Yeah, I mean, because people are going to expect more from the guys that make more. But I will tell you, $7 million is more than maybe any team and certainly more than all but a few teams. And it's going to one kid. So, like, there's going to be a lot of pressure on that. Yes, there is.

To justify the $7 million he's getting. Yeah, I swear it was a big debate online of, I mean, as good as he is, and he's awesome, he's going to be fun to watch. Would you want to commit that much to one person? Like what it would do to a locker room or if they're not playing well? I mean, BYU will have more games on television. I mean, if you're BYU, remember, I remember Mark Pope saying this a couple years ago in an interview, that part of the way BYU sees its mission is to be beyond, well, no, this happened when he came here.

Didn't someone at BYU say part of why we're glad Mark's going is the goal is to get the mission of Mormonism out. And this will be, so, I mean, that may be how they look at it too. We're going to have more games on television because we have this guy. Because we have that one guy. But it's still an amazing amount of money for one kid. The secret is out.

We'll take a break and be right back. It's KSR. 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.

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 gather. manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nasree. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense.

And when IT's friends stop by, like 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 bar 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. Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover, and a Gen X woman walking through life one hot flash and hormonal crying jag at a time.

You ladies know what I mean. I'll bet you a perimenopausal chin here you do. So let's talk about it. Join me on my new podcast. How Hard Can It Be with Deanna Maria Riva, where I call on my job. Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate Midlife's most fantastic BS. All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own. I was like, what the hell is that?

I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive. Wait, what sex? Dating at 45. How can it be getting naked at 50 with the new guy? That one's kind of hard. Well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears or tears of laughter,

and dive into it, unfiltered and unbothered and ask, How Hard Can It Be? I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public. Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva as part of My Cultura Podcast Network available 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 Inner Cosmos on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, guys? This is Clivert Taylor the Fourth. And on my podcast, The Cliverts Show, I'm bringing you conversations about all kinds of stuff, like being an internet famous referee.

We're in the middle of a game. This linebacker, this linebacker walks up to me. He goes, hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What? Time out. Quarterback on office. Blue with 42. Hey, Rhett, Mom, I want you to weigh better.

What? Where's she at? Hey, Miss Parker. Listen to the Clippers show on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. A little mule skinner blues by Dolly Parton. Well done. I obviously know Dolly, but I don't know this song. That's one of her, one of her, I don't say, most famous ones, but this is a pretty famous song.

This is early Dolly. This is like right after she left Porter Wagner and all that. 859-280-2287. One person writes, Matt, I wish you were more of a conspiracy theorist. Shannon is more fun because he brings up conspiracy theories and I like it. There you go. You're more fun, Shannon. Well, that's true.

I agree he's more fun. Best conspiracies right now are the aliens over New Jersey. Yeah, but see, I actually want to believe in something that has bonded society for a long time, which is shared facts, which is the idea that we believe the same things, and that we don't all just go, eh, no, because I think that's a good way to make societies completely break down when people can't even agree on the most basic facts. When we were in Windsor, Colorado, and you guys had the big discussion about the Denver airport, weren't the alien supposed to come the next day or something?

Did they show up? Yeah, they're in New Jersey and London. They're nowhere. Yeah. You've got the coordinates screwed up a little bit. Have you seen the video the one in Oregon? It's wild. I don't want to see any of them because they're not true.

There are no, all these videos. You can turn a blonde eye if you want. They still exist. Here's what I feel like. When the aliens are actually here, I think it'll show up on my news feed, and I won't have to look at a grainy video and talk to a guy named Frank. Some pretty good videos out there. Frank's a good guy.

I'm sure there's great videos. Did you see that the Rivals Recruiting Reporter was fooled about your goddamn King. Oh, he was. Because you know, yesterday there was a report that Dane Key was visiting Louisville. Yeah. It looks like that the rivals recruiting reporter was communicating with a Dane Key burner account and then reported it as news. He later took it down.

He did take it down. So what do you think about that? Because that report said Dane was going to visit and Vince Merrill was still in talks, right? Yeah, and apparently the person had been talking to a. random Dane Key Twitter account that isn't it Dane Key? You know what I thought was a giveaway? The Twitter account is called Dane Key Burner. That kind of would have given it away a little bit.

How did they fall for that? If I were someone whose job revolved around in everything people. I mean that, yeah, I don't mean to cross the guy, but like, be a giveaway. How did you fall for that, dude? It was right there in front of it. The count is called Danekee burner. Everybody rushing to try to get the scoop on everything.

be first out there with the information. Also, it just took the paragraph out like it never happened. Not even a head of course. He acted like it didn't happen, took it out. And then, of course, when I said he's not visiting Louisville, got a ton of comments of people going, you just jealous. At Dane Burner 6.

I mean, it's at Dane Burner 6. Shannon, you would think that'd be a giveaway, right? I guess the guy doesn't know what burner means. Or maybe he thought Dane meant he ran so fast. He was burning down the sidelines. Probably didn't even understand what. what that term means. How could he...

I think the 400 followers might be a giveaway, too. I would think Dane Key would have a few followers. Just an unbelievable... And that was the national recruiting head for rivals that fell for the Dane Key burner account. Wait till this guy sees AI. He'll be really confused then. This is why we need shared facts. We got people reporting stories after just talking to a random burner account.

You know, we get tips and stuff all the time from people like that, but we don't report it every time we get something you kind of got to check into things a little bit you would think but apparently not I'm going to go home and check in on at fake Beron Brown

and see where Barryon's going to go so do we have a day key update I do but I don't know if I can share it but why can't you well sometimes things are meant to keep it within the family okay well what I mean we're family yeah

why you text the family and ask you always say on this show that we're like brothers so come on brother I can tell you that Louisville is not in the picture at all. All right. Well, there you go. That's some scoop.

What about Nebraska? I'd say there may be something there. Okay. What about Georgia? I'd say there may be something there. What about South Carolina? No. So basically Nebraska and Georgia.

Well, there's some others in the mix. It'll probably come out where he's going to go where he's visiting. I mean, it could come out from you. Well, yeah, but maybe it's not my place. What conference? But, I mean, if somebody else is going to put it out, like, why don't you put it out? Well, I need to get permission first.

From who? From the family. Okay. Feels like they should want you to be the guy. Like if all these other people are going to put out at misinformation, you could be the centerpiece of information. I know, but when it's family, that's different. You know, you kind of keep things.

Sounds like you're closer to that family than our family, the KSR family. Consistency run. Yeah, that's a problem. That's a problem. Who's next, Shannon? Tommy. Tommy, go ahead, Tommy. Hey.

Y'all talking about the old man couldn't figure out why he left. Our bus going to Pittsburgh, and that was a rest stop. They stopped at the McDonald's on the bus. Oh, yeah, the bus. So the bus stopped there just on the way to Pittsburgh. Yes. Gotcha. All right, there you go.

Altoona is a good place to get McDonald's. That makes sense. Anyway, that's it. I appreciate the call. You ever ridden a bus? Long distances. We took a bus from Indiana to Philadelphia for the Army Navy game. Absolute hell.

It is awful. Awful. Awful, awful. I rode a bus from Nashville just to Knoxville. Yeah. I felt like I was on it for six days. Because, first of all, they stop every five miles. Yes.

And you want to see an assortment of people. I mean, you couldn't. Remember, we were going to send you to Oregon on a bus once. Yeah, for the Portland game. I've taken a bus a few times to New York. I don't recommend it. One time it was July, and it didn't have air conditioning. I thought I was going to die.

I wrote a bus in Mexico with chickens on it before. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the city buses. You can have some on bus. They have different levels of buses. They have like a three or two and a one. And I got on a one one time, and there was livestock on it.

Yeah. That was something. Yes, it was. We'll take a break. Come back. ASR, hour number two. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends.
