Stockton Mortgage, NMLS 8259 Equal Housing Lender, NMLS Consumer Access.org. Welcome to Hour 2 of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones. Here's the thing about talking about your medical stuff on the year is we have a lot of people. I think this is a post-COVID phenomenon who fancy themselves medical experts. A lot of doctors after COVID. A lot of doctors. Like I don't even know.

Why do we even have med schools now? Shannon. Just go to the comment section. You'll find all the doctors. Everybody is a doctor. And they're like so something like I got people who write and go, Matt, there's no way you can be on the air on Thursday. Trust me.

And then the other person goes, Ryan's nuts. You'll have a tough Wednesday night, but by Thursday morning you'll be ready. So I don't, which one of those am I supposed to believe? There'll be a couple instances Thursday morning. It won't be like the bad one, but you'll have some instances Thursday morning. Because still running its. Why should I believe you? I've done it twice.

Well, so have these people. That person maybe affected them different. I'm telling you how it affected me. Okay. Yeah. So it could affect me either way, conceivably, right? Yeah. Okay.

My whole takeaway on this is, you know how we would always pop in on the shows that beat us? Do you think Ice and Rothman have popped over to see what we're talking about? Well, they want, right? So, like, yeah, we used to pop in on Ice and Rothman and those shows. Whoever's number four? Do you guys peek in on this one? Yeah, we could do number one. 4, although that's the guy, I actually

work, the guy that came in 4th I work with sometimes on ESPN. Oh, you do? So, yeah, it's Aaron what's his name? Goldhammer. Yeah, I've done shows with him on ESPN. He was 4th. Well, we kind of found out, old Buck Rising is from Henderson, Kentucky, went to Evansville Memorial High School.

That's crazy. Well, just goes to show. Small World. 859-2-8027. The text machine is 772-754-5254. Shannon, did I hear someone tell me that you're going to a super secret Super Bowl party? Is that right? Sort of, yeah. I mean, it's like it's a public establishment. But what does that mean?

It's super secret. It's just for like regulars only. So it's not open to the public. It's just open for people who are regular patrons of this place. But regular patrons of what? Of the bar slash restaurant. Sounds pretty. secretive to me.

So, but I don't understand. So it's, it's a bar. Yeah. It's a place that you know, like, you've been there. You've been there yourself. I've been to this ball. It's in Louisville. Okay.

And so it's a bar that has like people who go regularly. Yeah. And they cook and they do like a whole, it's like free food. And they don't want like everybody just coming off the streets and getting free food. So it's free food. Yeah. So a bar just decides to close down and make a free party. Yes.

Yeah. But if I say that on the air, then everybody's going to be there. and I can't say. I can tell you off the air. Okay. All right. So can you tell me what you can tell me off the air? Well, I just thought it was yet another.

Like you, you and Ryan have had this whole like crazy, you know, crazy party lifestyle here that we don't know about it. It's not a speak easy. Okay. Yeah. I don't really get jealous, but all these little parties they keep going to and they're bragging about it later.

We don't do any of it. Are you getting excited about the Super Bowl at all? A little bit. I think I'm going to pick the Eagles, though. I think, you know, they're mad. They've been there a couple years ago and got beat by the Chiefs. Chiefs is an old hat for them. I think I may be riding with the Eagles.

How about you? I'm not betting against Patrick Mahomes. Like, how many times do we have to do this? You cannot bet against Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes wins. So, like, if he loses this time, then in the future, I'll consider betting against him. But I am not betting against Patrick Mahomes, Drew, until he loses a game. And I don't believe he will lose this one either.

I'm probably, I haven't made my commitment yet. I'm going to get through tonight's Ole Miss game. And then tomorrow's when I'm really going to lock in with all my props. I will have a billion props and all that. But I haven't picked my lane yet if I'm going to be pro Eagles or Chiefs. Probably Chiefs, though. I'm with you. If you bet against the Chiefs and lose, then you just got to look in the mirror and call yourself an idiot.

Yeah, exactly. Because, like, they'll lose one day. Maybe it'll be Sunday. But are you going to keep banging your head against the table and saying they're going to lose? or are you going to keep going with him and then go, all right, well, one day I'll lose, but I will have won Shannon the 15 times before that I kept rolling with. Yeah, I'm not going to pick against the Chiefs.

You know, against the Eagles, I would be pro-Russia against the Philadelphia Eagles. Would you really? Yeah, yeah. So quarterback Putin versus the Eagles, you're taking the comrade. That's right, yeah. Anybody over Philadelphia. Yeah, I just, you know, my homes, my home's that. And then you throw in all the other stuff that goes on with Canaan.

Kansas City. The refs? Yeah, y'all with the refs. I think it's the one. I have to tell you, the ref thing to me is the most played out thing I've ever seen. I mean it. Like the way people, and I don't even, I'm not even really a Chiefs fan, but the way people will dissect every call.

And then when their call goes against them, they're like, finally, I just think it's ridiculous. I just said it so you would do that. That game was tied. One team went down to field and scored. One team did. Right? And, you know, and then people want to look for an excuse for it. One bet I can guarantee you I'm going to make is I'm going to parlay D'Andre Hopkins and A.J. Brown touchdowns because those are receivers, the Titans let walk, and now they're both in the Super Bowl.

So you can go and bank on me betting on those. We will have, like, a bunch of Super Bowl specials that we will put out. You can get, well, you can come watch the game here, or you can take the stuff. home with you, we always give, you know, wing, we'll give them, we sell wings for people to take for their parties as well. Do you like watching the Super Bowl at a party? Yes. You do? I do.

Yeah, I love it. Why do you like that? I don't know, just kind of a community thing. I like it. This party are you going to this year? Well, I think Go-Ga Girl and I are going to be going to a party. Of one of those, isn't it? What do you mean?

You sound like a bookshelf? What kind of party is it is here? Her brother invited us to a party that we talked about last night. I think that's where we're going to go. Yeah. Is it one of these hoity-toity? No, no, no. The way he said that, though, Shannon made it seem like it was a different kind of part.

It did. The way he was like, well, yoga girl and I are going to a party. Well, good for you. I don't like going to watch. Because I want to watch the game. And everybody's like, you have to, like, play numbers. That's what's fun. Squares.

I already got some good squares. You are so much more social than I am. Leonard Hamilton is going to retire at the end of the year. I wanted to bring that up because he needs to. I mean, he's been going a long time, and his teams have fallen a little bit. But he also is a pretty legendary career, and I think goes in the annals of UK basketball as probably one of the four or five best assistant coaches ever at this school. Like if you were to say, okay, who are the best assistant basketball coaches ever at UK?

One of them is probably Joe B. Hall for his time with Adolf. I think then you would look at Leonard Hamilton. and say he's right there. You know, maybe you then go to like a aerobic. I put aerobic in there. At some point. Tubby. Tubby wasn't here very long, though, as an assistant.

I think two years. Yeah, no. I mean, I'm talking about somebody who's here for a good period of time as an assistant and does things as an assistant. Patino's folks were always in and out. Yeah, Billy Donaldson was only here a couple years. So much. So I don't know if there's a Patino person in.

Is there a tubby assistant in that you thought was a really good tub. be assistant. Oh, the one dude, Sutton, Mike Sutton. Yes. I actually think he would be good on the list. And then for Cal, I mean, I think I put Robic on there, might put Orlando on there as well. But Leonard Hamilton, I mean, there's an argument. Leonard Hamilton could be number one on that list. Great recruiter. Like, Joe B was recruiting the top guys because of Leonard Hamilton. I think we need to recognize his career here. Definitely. I'll add Jim O'Brien. What he was with Petito for a long time? He was. Yes, that's a good one. I like that.

But, you know, yesterday, just reading up on Leonard and looking at old pictures of him with Joe B. He has not aged. But I didn't realize it was 50 years ago when he was the coach of Kentucky. 50 when he was on the sideline. That's wild that he was still coaching as long as he has and had that long career. And if you look at the picture of him when he was here, he doesn't look that much different now. I mean, the man did not age. And he had some good years at Florida State.

He really, I mean, he probably gave that team their best years outside of that year. Bobby Sur and Charlie Ward were on the team. He gave him some of their best years. He made Florida State basketball relevant. Yeah, there were years where they were like a final four contender. I think he would get knocked off in the lead eight or sweet 16. But he made that football school, basketball school, for a couple years. Before there, he had a good run at Miami where they occasionally beat Duke in North Carolina when that was

unheard of. So congratulations to Leonard Hamilton and an important part of UK lore. I don't know that he'll ever have a jersey or something like that, but he probably ought to be in the UK Athletics Hall of Fame. I do think that probably ought to happen at some point because he is one of the three or four best assistant back. He's kind of for people who are young, he's the Vince of that air. Would you agree with that?

That's a good way to put it. He's kind of like Vince was. He was important in the program. he's in basketball. Some of the national people that were talking about him, we're calling him one of the best recruiters in college basketball's ever had. I could see that.

Like any school, he's in the conversation. Totally could see that. Who's next? Let's go to Doug. Doug, how are you, Doug? I'm doing great. Matt, three things real quick. The third defensive player was always.

You were the reason that Mark Maggard went out of business. And as far as... Wait, wait, wait, wait, minute, why was I the reason? Why was I the reason Mark Maggard went out of business? Okay, I followed him, but not on his pay site. He was trying to go pay site, and he was complaining because one guy, the name was Matt Jones, was giving away all the information free. Well, that's not true, but that's okay.

And what's your third thing? Oh, I mean, I was giving away information free, but that was because that was our business model. We gave everything free, but it wasn't like his. I don't even remember the name of his site, but go ahead. He did say that. And in the Super Bowl, Santa said he would pull for Russia and Putin. Putin is also a side effect of colonoscopy. Joke of the day.

Joke of the day. Joke of the week. Yeah, the folks here can't hear it. I'm not going to repeat. I'm not dignifying that with a repeat answer. great jokes. Was that a great job? Yes, because it came out of nowhere.

I'm not sure if it was a great joke, but that's okay. If I'm not, 280, 2287, who's next? Mike. Mike, go ahead, Mike. I agree with you. I mean, I think he's used to, if you go back again to his BYU days, and I appreciate the call, if you go back to his BYU days, he played a lot of people.

That's what he did, and he played, he didn't play anybody more than 25 to 27 minutes, and I get that, and that's a full. I think that is fine, but it's philosophy that's fine, Drew, if you've got 11 guys that can play. Right now, we've got six that are a lot better than everybody else, and we just need to play those six. And it might not be what he's used to. It might be not normal, but it, I think, is what we need to do right now. And I know he's trying to throw stuff together while they're so limited,

but you've got to find out an equation where three of your slowest defenders aren't on the court at the same time, or three guys that aren't a threat to shoot. I feel like he's, you know, Chandler, Noah, those guys have to play, but I don't know that they have to play together as much as he's played them recently. That's it. I mean, I can see trying to steal some minutes to rest your starters a little bit here or there, but not all at the same time. I think that just.

The line, this team is not a hockey line, Jay. Not a hockey line change. It's just not. Valentine's Day is coming up. If you're looking for gifts for your special someone, how about cornbread hemp, Kentucky grown hemp, gummies, oil, etc., to help you rest, relax, and it can make your special someone feel special. That's what it can do. It's special, can be special.

At cornbread hemp, make your sweetie feel great. And if you use the KSR code from now until the 7th, a free jar of 750 milligram gummies with a purchase of $75 or more. It's a good gift. That actually is a really good deal. Bound for yourself. You don't have to be a gift. Just a little bit.

Yeah, you don't have to do like me on Val. times day on skyline. You don't have to take somebody. You can go by yourself. It's okay, right? That is a bargain, though. Yeah, cornbread hemp, promote code KSR, free 750 milligram gummy purchase with a purchase of $75 more at cornbread hemp. We'll take a break and be right back. This is 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. I'm Timbo. Every episode, we're cutting through the noise. Breaking down the plays, the controversies, and the stories behind the

headlines. We go straight to the source, the athlete themselves, their locker room stories, their reactions, the stuff nobody gets to hear. The laughs, the drama, the triumphs, the moments that never make the highlight real. From viral moments to historic games, from buzzer beaters to controversial calls, we break it down, give you context and ask the questions everybody wants answered. Sports slice brings you closer to the action with stories told by the people who live them. Listen to Sports Slice on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more, follow Timbo Sliced Life 12 and the TikTok podcast network on TikTok. What's up, guys? This is Clever Taylor the 4th. And on my podcast, The Cliverts Show,

I'm bringing you conversations about all kinds of stuff. Like being an internet famous referee. We're in the middle of a game. This linebacker, this linebacker walks up to me, he goes, A, A, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What? Time out. Quarterback on office blue with 42. Hey, Brett, my mama want you to wave at her. What? Where's she at? Hey, Miss Parker.

Listen to the Clifford show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Will Ferrell's Big Money Players and IHeart Podcasts presents soccer moms. So I'm Leanne. Yeah. This is my best friend, Janet. Hey. And we have been joined at the Hipsons High School. Absolutely.

Now a redacted amount of years later, we're still. joined at the hip. Just a little bit bigger hips. Wider. This is a podcast we're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey. With all the snacks and drink. Sidebar. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? Well, they had a bogo.

Well, then you got it. Do you want a white collar or something here? Just hit it. Oh, what are y'all doing? Microphones? Are you making a rap album? Oh, I would. Come on. Could you believe? I would buy it. Cutts through the defense like a hot knife through sponge cake.

That sounds delicious. Oh, you're lucky I'm not a drug addict. You're lucky I'm not an alcoholic. You are. I'm lucky I'm not a killer. I love this team and I'm really trying to be a figure in their lives that they can rely on. Oh. Listen to soccer moms on the Iheart 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 defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin. 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, you go through a training camp with that, I said. You figure it out real quick. Oh, yeah. 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 Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio 859-28022. 87 here at the KS Bar and Grill. Getting ready. Cats and Old Miss game is at 7 o'clock tonight on ESPN.

Another Jimmy Dykes game. Jimmy Carl. I mean, how many Jimmy Dykes games does one person get? I like Jimmy. I actually think he does a good job, and I think he understands Kentucky's team, which is part of why I like him. It's like he sees this so much. He doesn't just say stupid stuff, and Carl's a nice guy.

So I like that duo. And to be honest, the Kentucky Arkansas game the other night, Jimmy was able to kind of relay the emotion of what is really happening. Yeah, I mean, he coached here, right? So Jimmy understood, you know, let me give an example of what Jimmy Dykes and Carl Ravits did, which I appreciated. They came up to me before the game and said, all right, tell me how you think this atmosphere ranks in terms of UK atmospheres.

And I said, I don't remember another atmosphere like this in terms of, like, like pre-game. I said the only two that stick out, I think, were the U.K. Carolina in 2012 and then Rick Petino returned, but those were day games, and this is a night game. So you have all day to get rid of it or to get ready for it. And he, I think he even maybe used that line on the broadcast. So I like that they care enough to kind of know the history of it, et cetera. He put out a tweet today, says it's the last time we'll have them for a while.

So for all you Jimmy Dykes fans, appreciate tonight. Really? Like five in a row. Really? Said something weird, like we don't block the shots or make the threes or guard or something. I don't know what he was really saying. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure he hears crazy. I think Jimmy does a good job.

I really do. I think he, I have a lot of complaints about how ESPN covers college basketball, but I do like that they kind of sign announcers to conferences so that they know what they're talking about. That's right. About the teams, by the way. It's all you with the team. Fish back on Saturday. Was he there?

No, no, this coming Saturday. Oh, this coming Saturday. I want to say one more thing about Jimmy Dax's where we're talking about him. He had a really cool father moment where he did a game where his daughter was a cheerleader. I think it was at Tennessee. His daughter was a cheerleader maybe at Tennessee, and he was doing the game. And you could tell you almost got a little choked up talking about it. I thought that was a good father-daughter moment.

That's nice. Dick Vitale's returning Saturday. Saturday. So he's returning Saturday for Duke at Clemson. Might be the only time Duke has a chance to lose the rest of the year. So are you excited to have Dick Montel back, baby. Has done a game in a year and a half.

I am. I'm someone that, and I've never disliked him, but I don't even say I got exhaustion. But, you know, the Dickie V's stick got a little stale there for a while, but I've been missing him since the moment he's been gone. I saw he had like 40-something procedures. It is amazing that he's able to do this, so I will absolutely be turned in here.

That's what I love about it, is that this dude, you want to talk about a person who loves the sport. That guy has been I mean how many times have we heard His cancer's gone it's back It's gone it's back He keeps he wants to be doing this so much That like how can you begrudge it

How could you be anything but hoping I know I mean when he was on every game It would wear people out But I think it's very cool he's back And you know I'll watch that game I want to see him be back That's the only reason I'm going to watch that game

for him to celebrate the moment with him. 40 procedures and he still loves it so much. He wants to come back and still do it. What a tough guy that guy is, man. I think I would be like, that's enough. Enough's enough. I'm out. And we didn't talk about this because we lost the game,

so the line wasn't as cool because we lost the game. But the game day thing where Andrea Carter made that line about you don't want to show up into the club with the downgrade. And the way those people just didn't react. with Seth and that was to me the best epitome of why this generation of announcers needs to like change Vital would be into it now Vitao takes up for coaches but you never have to worry about his energy and sit there watching Andrea make that joke and then just look at her that was like gosh we got to get some fresh blood in the sport that was the nail in the coffin for basketball game day football is can't miss Saturday

mornings. I genuinely, I'm not saying this to talk trash. I don't think I'll be bothered to turn on college game day basketball for the rest of the year in Lester, at Kentucky. Like, they often, I did not learn anything. I was not entertained. They're just sitting there all stoic. They're just like, that is not entertaining. I almost want to be like free Andrea. Get her some person out there. Good for her. She was great on that and they just look at her. It's ridiculous. A couple of lines 859-280-227. Who's up next? Clayton. Clayton. How are you, Clayton? Hey, I'm good, Matt. How are you guys?

Doing good. I'm trying to look forward to the rest of the season, but the Reed Shepard thing really bothered me. I grew up in Kentucky, and Kentucky sports is something I share with my dad. And I just feel like, you know, with Reed and his dad, it makes it bother me more because I'm from Kentucky. He's from Kentucky.

And I'm trying to get over it, but still struggling. So I just wanted to get that off my chest and look forward to the rest of the show. I totally get it I mean I understand why people are like that I mean whether they whether they you know

I had a number of people write me yesterday and go I don't think you also talk about the Reed Jeopard thing anymore people you know give him a break I'm giving him a break but I'm not the one

like there's a lot of fans that are upset there's this idea out there that I somehow magically control people's emotions and that if I say it that they're going to stop I mean, let me read you a message I got yesterday just along that lines. This is an actual message I got from a dude yesterday that gives you an example.

Here's what he said. You are the worst thing that could happen to Kentucky basketball. Players, coaches, and recruits read you all. And when BBN tweets, the criticism hurts their feelings and hurts recruiting, you are the reason people get mad at the players. I know of multiple players that feel that. way and there's a reason for that. Good.

And I was like, if I had that kind of magic, don't you think I'd use it for something other than like, hey, send negative play. I wouldn't, if you send a negative tweet to a player, you're a jerk. But that doesn't mean you can't have a feeling like Reed Shepherd, what are you doing? Like, you can feel that way? My tweet, isn't even that critical. I said, this is an odd move by Reed Shepherd, is exactly what I said. replies or like, why are you telling fans how to, I'm like, I just said it's an odd move.

It is an odd move. Yeah. That's not even being that critical. And I texted you. This is before I put anything on the internet or commented myself. People were coming up to me at Rupp Arena yelling at me about it. Like, I'm not inciting that. I'm telling you, I have 10 people in front of me so mad at Reed Shepard.

When I saw that picture, I knew what would happen. Like you, and Reed had to have known. He had to have known. He is from the. The mountains. Like he is amongst them. He had to have known, and he made the choice to do it, and I'm not saying the kids should never be, like, forgiven.

It's in the grand scheme of thing, not a huge deal. But people are going to be upset, right? If I go to a game, Matthew Harper-Jones, and it is Kentucky versus Louisville, and I show up in a Louisville T-shirt and laugh. or even if I show up in a Joe Biden t-shirt and laugh. I can't be surprised at the reaction I'm going to get. Yep. Right.

Like, I know what I'm going to get. Now, I might choose to do it, but I know what's going to happen. That's what he did. Yeah. So, like, he chose it. You know, the picture came out during our pregame show, and we were all kind of speechless because we all think I instantly knew this is not going to go well for him. It's just not.

And I'm not, you know. You are free to do whatever you want, but then you are also free to get the reaction that it gets. And that's exactly what happened. We'll take a break. Be right back. It's KSR. T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney.

Call T.J. He'll make them pay. Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones. Welcome back. This is Kendrick Lamar. They had the Grammys. and on Sunday, Kendrick Lamar was the big winner. He won like five Grammys for a Song of the Year for They Not Like Us.

I don't know a whole lot about pop music today, but I would say this, man, there's not what much worse than getting in a battle with somebody, and they end up winning Song of the Year for their disc track on you. Like that feels like that's a pretty big L. And then isn't he doing the Super Bowl, too? Super Bowl, yeah. Yeah. Have a run.

So they were, do me a favor. Shannon, pull up the people that were nominated for Best New Artist. Okay. Because to me, this is always a good indicator of do you have any idea what's going on in the world of music? So read me who the nominees were, Shannon, for Best New Artist. I'm trying to get there. Let me just a minute. I'm trying to figure out.

I did try to do a lot of show prep. I thought we'd talk about the Grammy, so I studied what, Kanye's wife was wearing last night. I wanted to make sure I was very much aware. Yeah, so she showed up like naked, right? Had like a completely see-through dress-off. They kicked them out. Is that correct?

I don't know. He denies it. He denies they kicked them out? But, I mean, they didn't stay. That looked like an outfit where you'd be asked to leave most establishments. I mean, I think if you show up at a place naked, it's not unreasonable for them to say you're going to have to leave here. There's nothing to be imaginations. Pardon me, you've got to the stage.

I don't think it's crazy to go, you are going to need a piece of clothing if you walk into this building. Something had nothing on. So do you have the list? Okay, so read me who was nominated. Benson Boone? Yes. My favorite artist in the world. Sabrina Carpenter.

Hang on, hang on. I had never heard of Benson Boone in my life until the Grammy's performance. But now, is Benson Boone the guy that got up and then two women ripped his clothes off? I had never heard of him until Sunday night. Now, where can I buy a concert ticket? He was wearing a blue leisure suit. It was incredible. Like he was wearing like an Elvis leisure suit.

Oh, I saw Heidi Klum and some other galser. That was Heidi Klum and Nikki Glazer. That was Heidi Klum? Yeah, telling you, think it, the Riz on this guy. Isn't that a word the kids say? He's got Heidi Kloom ripping his tucks off. He did a backflip off the piano while singing. So what does he do?

What does he sing? I've only known about him for 48 hours in my life. So you play a Benson Boone song, Shannon, next. in the next segment, right? Because I don't know who that is. Then who else? Sabrina Carpenter, right? Yep. She's beautiful. She's like, she's blonde, right?

I've seen her. She's... Open for Taylor on her tour. Yeah, so I know who that is. Okay, go ahead. Do she? I think I'm saying that right? I'd never heard of that person. I think she like raps, right? No idea. No idea. It's do she or duchy? I could be saying it wrong. I don't know who that person is.

Okay. All right, who else? I'm going to say this one wrong, too. Quang bin K-H K-H-R-U-A-N-G-B-I-N. How would you say, K-R-U-N-G-B-I-N? I don't know. I know he sounded 100 years old saying this, but I've never heard of these people.

Quang or quang-bin? Quang-bin or quang-bin? Okay, we don't know who that is. Never heard of them. And then who's the other one? Well, there's a couple more. Okay. There's Ray.

Ray. Just a guy Is he from Harlem? R-A-Y-E, Ray. Ray. I think he came in to fix the podium. He just worked. Wait,

Ray is not nominated. That's just a guy from Harlem. And he just got a ticket. There's nobody. There's no singer that's name is just Ray. There's two more. Wait, no last name?

No. Just Ray? Well, it's like Prince. You don't need a last name, you know? Madonna and Ray. Look, Prince and Madonna and Beyonce can be one name. Ray's got to have a last name. You can't just.

be Ray. Not when you're Ray with a knee on the end. Like if I'm a singer, I can't just be Matt. You gotta have something. You can't just be Ray. If he wins, you can be Ray. Yeah, for sure. All right. And then what was the last one? Two more. Shabozy. Okay, no, I know Shaboozy. That's the one that sings that tipsy song. I hate that song. No, that's not it. That's not the song. That's Jake Juan. He copied Jake one. It's, it's, uh... But he says that in his song. Yeah, he, he, he, uh, stole Jake ones. Yeah. It's, he says everybody, Everybody in the club, no, everybody in the club getting tips. He stole it.

He copied it off the first guy. Okay. All right. He's stealing from Jake one. So it was, and then Teddy Swims, who I've heard of. And then Chappelle, I guess, is it Roan, Roane? I think that's called Chapel Roan. Chappel Roan.

It's not like Dave Chappelle. I think it's like Chappelle to me, man. I don't listen to any of this stuff. I think it's Chapel Rone. She played in Louisville and they had to like shut down the streets. Remember? We're like she shut the city down. She was there for some sort of festival or something, and they loved it.

She's a big deal. Teddy Swims. I know that guy. I do know Teddy Swims. Yeah. That tattoos all over his face. What does he do? Sings.

He's good at it. Swims. Yeah. No, he's good. I can't name a song, but I like him. I think he got big on TikTok. That's where I saw him. You appreciated that, Shamed.

Yeah. I mean, in his name, Teddy swims. That's what he does. I got to look up this Ray. Okay. I don't buy. No, I don't buy Ray. Ray is not a person.

Who's next? Let's go to Ted. Ray. Ted, go ahead, Tay. Or Tay. That's quite the segue. Teddy. Teddy, speaking from Teddy from Chicago, too.

Hey, guys. Paul, from my hometown here in Chicago. You know, I attended UK in the 80s. I'm going to be quicker, and I got a call-in-out-out-be thing for you, too, man. But I like Pope. I really hope UK were to land at Billy Donovan. Let me speak quickly to this. He's been here for five years now.

coaching through some of the most terrible Bulls teams I've seen in my life going through the Jordan days. And he's navigated many, many post-game pressers. And the beat here, as you guys know, is very tough, real tough. He's never, ever been at a loss for words like Pope was Saturday. I was frozen when I listened to Mark. Now, Billy's a super smart, well-spoken basketball guy. I always learn something when he speaks. And this leads me to Mark.

I like Mark. I like him a lot. He's no doubt a smart guy. My concern, he's a really nice guy, too. That's why I like him. I concern is his ability to recruit the top shelf talent. We'll find out. I realize that Mark's got, he didn't get Caleb Wilson, but remember, that was an NIL thing.

And I don't know why that happened. I'm not involved. But today, there was news. Nate Amit, who is ranked in the top five. And really, I don't know that Kentucky had been a huge contender for, is now going to take his last visit to Kentucky, and he is down to Duke. Kentucky and Louisville. What a threesome to be the last three.

But if he gets him, that would answer your concerns, right? Yeah, it does. I think, I think, you know, you got to realize he's going up against guys like Cal, some smooth talkers. Billy's not a smooth talker. He is smooth, but he's authentic. But Billy's not coming here. So, like, on some level, though, to go, Billy Donovan is this, Billy's this.

He's not coming here. Like, he's not the coach here. Mark is. So, like, saying what Billy could have done is really not that productive for us because he's not coming here. All right. Hey, Matt, let me get on the important thing here. You're colonoscopy. I got some advice for you.

That is important. Start the magic potion regimen early in the day on Wednesday. Don't start it at noon. My doc had me start it early in the morning, so I was done evacuating, got a good night's sleep. I hear people taking it starting at noon. They're up all night. They're not rested. You've got to do a show Thursday.

You tell your doctor, you're starting at Wednesday morning early. And you know what? My brother-in-law showed up in his colonoscopy. He drove there. The doc says, where's your wife? He said, I drove. He said, well, we can't do it. He said, why not?

He said, we're giving the anesthesia. He said, well, have you ever done it without anesthesia? He said, no. He said, let's do it. He had a little discomfort. Yeah, we're not doing that. I'm taking all the anesthesia. I'm not a tough guy.

I appreciate the call. I'm going to take the anesthesia. I don't need to do any sort of, you know, give it to me raw. I'm going ahead and doing it. I would not want that. I'm going to go ahead and you just do the anesthesia. And then Ryan, he doesn't know this yet, but he's going to drive me home. I can drive you home.

All right. You know, and I are also planning on doing the show Thursday morning. We're just going to just plan on it just in case. Why don't you think I'll be here? You don't think I'm going to show up? It's just you're not going to feel the greatest. You're going to feel awful. I didn't feel the greatest last Thursday.

That's true. And I also did the show up. Could you drink the potion during the show Wednesday? You don't do the potion anymore. It's like pills. It's like pills and all that stuff. So it's a lot better. You go to the show.

Draft Kings. Let's make our SEC picks. You go to Draft Kings. Use a promo code. KSR. Get your bets in. SEC games tonight. If I can pull it up.

We've got Kentucky. We'll pick that one. little bit later, but the other SEC games, I'm sorry, it's taking me a second to get it. There we go. Vanderbilt at Florida. Any chance Vandy can pull the upset. Florida has been struggling. Florida didn't look good against Tennessee this past weekend, but I think they still get Vandy. Yeah, Florida is going to win this. Shannon, any chance you get this? No, Vandy's not good on the road. They lost by 30 on Saturday at Oklahoma. They're going to lose that. Oklahoma is at Auburn. Auburn wins by like a thousand.

So these games are actually not that great. Tomorrow night, by the way, Arkansas at Texas. Does Cal continue the streak? Perfect spot to have a hangover game and lose at Texas. Not just the Cal dynamic, but a big win, just playing so well like they did in Lexington. And a rivalry that's a historic rivalry that they have not played in years. I mean, they have not played in a long, long time against each other.

And this is a rivalry that goes back 100 years. And I think they haven't played in like the last 15 or 20. I'm like Drew. I think Arkansas snaps back. back to reality and has trouble scoring 60 points. All right. Draft Kings promo code, KSR, get your bets in. By the way, today, if you're at KSbar as well, you can use your little thing there,

get 100% profit boost, just scan it on your phone. That'll be all day to day for the game. We'll take a break. Be right back. Kentucky Sports Radio. Last night, a blown call changed the game.

This is Clivert Taylor the 4th. And on my podcast, The Cliverts show, I'm bringing you conversations about all kinds of stuff. Like being an internet famous referee.

We're in the middle of a game. This linebacker, this linebacker walks up to me, he goes, hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What? Time out. Quarterback on office blue with 42. Hey, Wreck, my mama want you to wave at her. What?

Where's she at? Hey, Miss Parker. Listen to the Clippers show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Will Ferrell's Big Money Players and IHeart Podcasts presents soccer moms. So I'm Leanne. Yeah. This is my best friend, Janet. Hey.

And we have been joined at the Hipsons High School. Absolutely. Now a redacted amount of years later, we're still joined at the hip. Just a little bit bigger hips, wider. This is a podcast we're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey. With all the snacks and drink. Sidebar. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer?

Well, they had a bogo. Well, then you got it. Do you want a white collar or something here? Just take it. What are y'all doing? Microphones? Are you making a rap album? Oh, I would.

Come on. I would buy it. Cuts through the defense like a hot. knife through sponge cake. That sounds delicious. Oh, you're lucky I'm not a drug addict. You're lucky I'm not an alcoholic. You are.

I'm lucky I'm not a killer. I love this team and I'm really trying to be a figure in their lives that they can rely on. Oh. Listen to soccer moms on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, fam, Isaiah Thomas. And I'm CJ Toledano and our podcast Point Game is about defying the 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 Reed. 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, 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. We're back, it is Kentucky Sports Radio.

So this is Ray. Yeah. And it's a woman. It's a woman. So it's not a dude from Harlan. It's a woman. From Harlan. From Harlan.

Okay. See, I didn't know. I thought, but now I do. Apparently, the one thing we couldn't pronounce, Kwang Finn, is psychedelic funk. Okay. Which, by the way, my favorite kind of funk. It is. It's the psychedelic cat.

If you're going to have funk, to me, make it as psychedelic as possible. I was way off on Ray. I pictured a guy with a big set of keys on his belt, pulling up his jeans walking up to you, maybe a foo man chew, not this at all. I have to check out some Ray on the way home. There you go.

So good to know what's out there, right? What the kids are listening to. I've heard, you know, a couple of those we kind of heard, but I have never heard of Ray. They're finally bringing back the beer here that we ran out of over the weekend. I see kegs. Two big kegs rolled in. We now have beer coming in because we had run out.

of basically all of it. Kind of a good problem, but you had a back problem. Here's more beer coming. Look at this. More beer. Bush Light. 859-280-2287. I do more of it.

Good night. Well, fine. I guess we'll have whatever we need. Who's up next? Bob and James Town. Bob, how are you, Bob? I'm doing good, Matt. When you have your procedure Thursday,

please don't. If you want to have a little more fun, tell the Annes of this, you want a ketamine. That way you'll be completely awake and you can watch it on the screen. I don't want to watch it. Who are you? Like, like, why would I want to watch it? That way you can see what, I mean, you can see it personally. You're right there while it's happening. And it's a real good show. You'll be watching a monitor. And I can say it's a A real good show. What a show.

What a show. Two hundred 90 milligram lens tablet. A couple of bottles of magnesium citrate. You'll be good to go. I guess I tell the anesthetistis. You want ketamine. You can watch it. I'm not Elon.

I'm not sitting around taking ketamine all day. Okay? I'm good. But thank you. No. You just have it one time. And then you'll be completely awake. You'll be aware.

You can watch it. There's no pain. There's nothing. It's good recovery. and makes it a lot better experience that you'll remember. All right. Well, thank you very much, Bob.

I appreciate it. That really makes that. Yeah, I really want to remember. But see, again, I get all the people go, why are you so mean to Bob? For all the times you did not cut Bob off, that was one, I wish you would have cut Bob off. No, Dr. Bob.

You kale missed today. What tonight? What are you expected? I'm a little worried. Got to get Butler back. They have really good guards. However, they're small. Kentucky's got some length.

Kentucky should be able to rebound, play the guys that need to play as much as possible. And Kobe Brea, just give them a little nudge. Please play well. Get some double digits, and they can be okay. But I do worry about how they're going to guard their guards. The dude for Virginia Tech looks so good against Auburn. He's really good. And what's the little dude that shoots?

You can't leave the little dude. I got Morel that's been there a while. The little white dude, you cannot leave that guy open. He's the one for Virginia Tech. Yeah, he will absolutely torch you if you're not ready to go. See, I'm a little worried too about that. It may be a game when they do to the offensive end, do what they did against Arkansas, just punch it into Amari and say, hey, man, just go get us a bucket.

Because he definitely has to – we have a size advantage down low for sure. But they've also lost three or four. It's not like you're going in and it's just some hot team. I mean, their backs are against the wall, too. It's just going to create a rough atmosphere. Who do you think is the key player for us? I feel like I say Kobe every game because he's been so cold. I'm actually going to say –

One of those guys off the bench is going to have to play defense. You know, now I'm going off the grid. I'm going Brandon Garrison. He hasn't played well lately. He's had a few spurs. We need a full Brandon Garrison game. Even though I just said Amari needs to play a lot, and he won't play the whole game.

So when Garrison's in, I hope there's not a big drop-off. I'll say him this game. And, you know, Andrew Carr's healthier. He's going to play more minutes. And that thing gives us more of a size advantage down low. So maybe if he is back to full strength or close to full strength, he can have a big game for him. Yeah.

Someone did send me a fun stat. Ole Miss is like nearly last in the all of college basketball and height. I mean, they're pretty short. They're guards. Is that right? So Kentucky does have an advantage there. They're going to be a lot faster and quicker, and they play that way. But Kentucky has sex.

I hope this is a game where we kind of get Carr back to Carr. Yes. The first game where he's not really been, where he's not been on the injury list in a while. And I would like to see him get, you know, I don't expect him to be 100%. I mean, but that was a dude who was a double-digit score for us. for a long time that we've just kind of had to play around or without for so long. I want to see that finally become a thing. And in most of the big wins, he made some big plays down the stretch.

You know, maybe he didn't have the best game ever, but how many times we see him go get a three-point play or go get a big rebound? And he can get you a couple easy buckets around the rim, which is something this team struggles at getting sometimes. I think he's important. And this is a game where he can absolutely do that, man. Get his confidence back and knock. some of the rust off and play well.

You know, what do you have? He had 15 minutes last game. He didn't play a whole lot. You look for probably to double that, maybe this game. Who's next, Shannon? Roger. Roger. Roger, go ahead, Roger.

Thank you, Matt, for taking my call. The question I have, one of them is, how come we didn't foul in the Arkansas game with 56 seconds ago? Probably because we thought it was over. I mean, it was a 10-point game, and there comes a point where you just don't necessarily need spread to be 25 points. You know, I mean, that's just my guess, if I were to guess.

Well, most games I've ever watched, I've seen teams come back with 30 seconds to go down by 10 and win. I'm not saying it. Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying they shouldn't have done it. But like, it is a trade-off. I think, you know, there were a couple plays. I think if we had made a shot here or there, maybe they would have done it.

But, you know, I don't know. I didn't have a huge complaint. not doing it but go ahead no i mean i just it was just weird because i didn't most teams they start fouling that's what that's the reason i was uh curious to see if anybody heard or you know and then people was walking out at that time too yeah people did get you know for all the excitement and i appreciate to call for all the excitement that was in the arena and there was a lot people also did get out of there as quickly as they could those stairs were pretty full late in the game i mean it was amari cut it to 10 with like a minute left at that point i

everybody knew what the end result was. Yeah, they blew a whistle. There was a foul or something, and the TV cameras showed them. People just mass exes. I mean, there were people that have been there since that opened the doors. You know, I do think there was. And there was also, I think a lot of people, as much as they wanted to see him come out, they didn't want to see Cal leave with a big smile in his face.

You know what I mean? I do think that was part of it, Drew. I think there's some truth to that. Yeah, there was a lot. That's probably the biggest mass exodus I've seen. I think Tennessee got them pretty good a few years ago, and everybody left early, because you just don't normally see that at Rupp. You stay to the end.

They were all scattering. Show your love this Valentine's Day. A home-cooked meal of high-quality dry-aged beef from Noche-Linda Farms. Noce-Linda Farms. No-C-H-E-LindaFarms.com.
