Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio here live. Hour number two, Kentucky State Police Training Academy in Frankfurt. It's been a really cool day here, Shannon, seeing all. the ways they train the future troopers, 24-week training program. You can learn and come and become a trooper in the state of Kentucky, starting pay 67,500 guaranteed raises, but more importantly, you get to serve your community and your state.

You come here. You train Monday through Friday. Then you get to go see your family on the weekends. If you are 18 to 21, they even have a paid apprenticeship program. That's cool. So if you're one of the many people, folks listening, men or women out there, and you've thought about becoming a Kentucky State Trooper, you can learn more at join ksp.com. Now, you remember, they have one of these, like, crazy good dogs, right?

One of these ones. He's a good boy. They can smell everything, and they, like, are able to find stuff. And his name is Cam. Yes. Now, they have hidden Billy's phone somewhere around here. Yes. And Cam is going to find it.

Now, do you believe in Cam? Absolutely. I have 100% confidence. Cam is going to find that phone. So I assume you use Cam to find phones. Like if somebody, you pull someone over and you're worried they ditch their phone or something so you all don't find it. Is that kind of the thought process? Electronic crime.

Okay, there you go. Electronic crime. So now that makes it even more. All right. So let's give it a shot here. Let's see Cam do his thing. Go ahead. All right, so they're taking him up to the vehicle here, Ryan, right?

He's got a little bag of waging his tail. He's wagging his tail. Let's see what you got, Cam. Here we go. All right, so Cam's being walked around. He's right now he doesn't see anything. Checking out the vehicle, see if you can find it. Right now there's not a whole lot going on with the dog there.

See, Shannon, this would be, you know, this is how you have a nose. I guess this would, the same, a nose for something. You have a good nose. You can smell really good. You think you could go sniff out the phone maybe. I think the reason I have a good nose is because I can't see anything. Oh, is that what it is? No, I think we have a bad sense are compensating.

Like the other sense is doing. He's in it. He's found it. He's found something. He's stuck in it. Is that where it is? Okay. So they're saying,

confirmation. Yeah. He sat down, I guess what to indicate that he's found it. He's getting some treats. He's getting treats. So what does source mean? I think they found the source of the phone. You found it?

Was it right? There it. Look, there it is. Inside of the. to give it to camp wow yeah that is fascinating to watch Ryan the dog kind of stays and then when it finds it it keeps its nose in there and makes it yeah I know you've seen like in the TV shows the crime shows the dogs when they find a dead body or something they sit down or they smell and that's how they trigger their the and now billy gets to have his phone and be able to go

uh be able to go on it's way back in there he's still trying to dig it out I think fine it is yeah I think finding a phone is more impressive than finding a dead body. I mean, dead body's going to have a lot of smells. A phone. That's actually true. Dead bodies and drugs, you would think, I wonder what the smell is. A phone emanates me. Is it able to smell? Is it the way, like the cell? What does it smell? Smells like mimosas. Oh, is Billy's B.O. Okay, yes. Billy's breath. Billy's breath is what ends up going down. Well, that was very cool. That's kind of cool, wasn't it? 859-280-2287. All right, real quick.

we go the phones, let's talk about what the caller said earlier. Saturday Night Live Sunday has its 50th anniversary, which is an amazing thing for a television show to be on for 50 straight years. And you sit there and you think about all the people that have been on it over the years. I mean, you go back to Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, then you got like Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, you know, Dana Carvey, David Spade, Chris Rock, just go down the list, Will Ferrell, and then the women in recent years like Kristen Wigg and all those. I mean, there's literally a million, and they're bringing them all back, and they're also, I saw the list of celebrities.

There's like 100 famous people that will be on that show. Are you going to watch it? Absolutely, I'm going to watch it. I love Saturday Night Live. I don't watch as much as I used to, but every time I watch it, I'm like, man, this is so good. I think it's had a resurgence in the last year. I thought I was getting ready to say.

I think it's gotten better. I feel like in the last year, so it's kind of hit a good peak recently. As someone who loves it, I thought it got kind of stale for a few years before this comeback it's had. But I'm someone when I was a kid, I remember going to the video store and renting like the S&L best of the 70s. You know, things I wouldn't even allow for and I would watch all of those. I mean, I've been watching S&L as long as I can remember. We could do two hours on S&L if you want. Most people think S&L was the best when they were like in high school and college.

Of course. Oh, yeah. We all do. But I actually do think this group is good. So now the question is not the rest of their careers. But just when they were on SNL, so not what they did after, because like Eddie Murphy's probably the biggest star that's ever been on there. But when they were on SNL, who were your favorite people?

Chris Farley, without a doubt, was number one for me. Chris Farley was great. Living in a van down by the river. When he interviewed Paul McCartney, and he goes, remember that time you put out the white album? Remember when you were the Beatles? Remember that time you guys played on the rooftop? That was cool, huh? Yeah.

Chris Foley's a great thing. For me, I would say Will Farrell, I think, is probably the person. I think was the best on his time on SNL. But there are a lot of good ones. Like, you know, I think that Adam Sandler, Chris Farley group was really good. The group that was like Bill Hader,

Will Forte, that era, I think a lot of the women recently, like Kristen Wigg, is really good. What about you? Well, you mentioned Eddie Murphy. I mean, Gumbie and Mr. Robinson neighborhood. Fantastic. I don't think I missed an episode that season.

Because that's back when I was in college, I think. So awesome. Runaway number one on my list is Matt Foley motivational speaker. Chris Farley is one of my all-time favorites of anything. I remember where I was when he died. It's one of those things that I know that were exactly where I was sitting, who I was next to when I got that news. I loved Chris Farley.

All of his skits, Chippendell's of Patrick Swayze. You know, they said that one made him really sad. I remember that. He felt like he had to do it, but then he felt like people only were laughing at him for being fat, and it made him really sad. But it is funny. That is while we were laughing, but it was great. It's a little sad that you have to be that.

But anyway, the point is, it's funny. Matt Foley's number one, and Will Ferrell's Celebrity Jeopardy's are close to. Pick an episode. Usually, Bert Reynolds would be the one that was the funniest. But all the jeopardies with Will Farrell were hilarious. I will say, I like some of the people that would be on for long periods of time. Like, Keenan Thompson has been on for 22 years or something like that. That's crazy he's been on for that long.

and he said I saw in an interview, I ain't leaving. The entire career. I got a great job, so why would I leave? And he looks exactly the same as he did when he started. Yeah, my favorite part is one they still do to this day, the weekend update. I mean, I remember when Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin. Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin, I thought were awesome at it, but then Norm McDonnell was so good.

David Spade was. Don't ask me, you already know. Drew and I, Norm. By far. Norm. I think the guys now are really good. Yeah, they're good. You don't like Spade?

But he did it? He didn't do it. He didn't host. He did that one little segment, but he didn't host. I thought he did the update. The host were Chevy Chase and Jane Curtin, Dennis Miller. Dennis Miller did it, yeah. Kevin Neeland.

Yeah. Norm. Colin Quinn. Tina Faye and Jimmy Fallon. And then Tina Faye and Amy Poehler. And then Amy Pollard and Seth Myers. And now Michael Chee and Colin Jones. I think that's all of them.

I actually had a really cool moment just a few months ago. We were in New York. did it the first year too. Yeah. But go ahead. We went to a comedy seller and next door is the Olive Tree Cafe where a lot of them hang out. Abby and I are sitting at the bar. There's probably not nine people in this building.

And I look to my left and Michael Shea is sitting by himself riding stuff down. We didn't bother him, but it made me think, is he over there writing the weekend update next to us? Yeah, I think I think Norm's the best, but I think the two guys that are there now may be second. They had a great episode recently where he made him, they wrote each other's jokes and he had to talk about Scarlett Johansson and he had to read it. That's a great segment they do. So anyway, it's going to be cool. 50 years, the fact that any television show, can you all name the other television shows

that are scripted television shows, not soap operas, that have been on 25 years or more in history? There's only like three. I think Law and Order SVU just went to 25. They may have. I don't know. Yeah, Simpsons. Simpsons, and then an old one.

Do you remember who can think of a really old one that was on for like that long? How long did Mash go? Anybody know? Gun smoke. Gun smoke. Gun smoke was on forever. Now, the S&L is the second longest running show that's still on.

Do you know what the longest running show is? It's not any kind of show. Days of Our Lives, General Hospital. Days of Our Lives had a break in it. Okay. That's been consistent the whole time. The Young and the Rustless? 60 minutes.

60 minutes. 60 minutes. 60 minutes is the only show. that's been on. That's cool. Monday Night Rolls has been on for a long time. Yeah, but not as long as that. 859-280-2287. Who's up next? Michael is next. Michael. Go ahead, Michael.

Hey, first time, long time, guys. Who are? What's up? I'm not much. I was going to ask you where you are at the State Police training facility. We are. We are. The opportunity. Who would you tase or who would you pepper sprayed? And I'll have a

hang up and listen. Like on the show? Yeah, on the show. Which one the co-host would you tames? Oh, which one would you tames? Okay. I mean, I feel like anything that's a punishment we should do to Billy. Because I think for Billy's at the, you know, Billy being the kind of battering ram of the show.

Billy battering ram. I wouldn't pepper spray anybody. That's, like, that's not good. Fun. But for a tasing. Well, that ain't fun. But you get over that. I think you get over, I don't know.

I feel like you get over Taze before you get over pepper spray. It sticks with you for a little while. I've experienced both a little bit. I got secondhand pepper sprayed at an ECW wrestling event. I was throwing up everywhere. It was unbelievable. Tjiri sprayed Sandman and I was in the crowd and I caught a lot of it.

I mean, my mom wanted to sue ECW. She was so mad. Where was this? Evansville, Indiana. I was in like, I was probably a freshman high school. I mean, I was outside throwing up. I remember him telling this. I've said that before.

To jerry, like, it was the other. way around. It's really like moved and the crowd just got sprayed and I ate a lot of it. Why? Your mom wanted to see? Oh, she was mad. I mean, I was pretty young. I don't even think I might not have been old enough to drive there. Probably was old enough to drive, but I certainly didn't need to get pepper sprayed in wrestling. Miss Franklin versus Paul Heyman in court. Yeah. Well, I appreciate the call. I think I've told this story before, but since you're talking about injuries at a thing, you remember for many, many years, wrestling would not come to Kentucky because of the laws and then Matt Bevin changed him. And do you remember the story as to why that happened?

Yeah, I do. We've talked about it a lot, but do you remember on the show? Triple H was wrestling the Rock in Louisville at the Yom Center, and they went up in the crowd, and they were fighting each other in the crowd, and one of them hit the other one, and they fell back, and they fell on a kid, and the kid, like, broke his leg, and his kid, the kid was really, like, from a hoity-to-y family, I think, and they sued the WWE for a ton of money, and they changed all the laws,

and wrestling wouldn't come to Kentucky for, like, 15 or 20 years. Wow. And it was Triple H in the Rock, and they, like, accidentally broke a kid's leg. Didn't Steve Romines represent? Steve Romines represented the kid. Really? Yes, that's a true story. I should have called Romance.

I actually thought it was the coolest thing ever once I got over there. Who would you want to see get tased? The dude that sucker punched me in South Carolina. It would be a good selection by me, I think. He's not on the show. Still be justice for him. Do you really, that sticks with you, doesn't it? Yeah.

Never, I'd still have no idea who the kid was. I never saw him. You sure you had nothing to do with it? I didn't do it and didn't deserve that. I used to start carrying a taser with you. Who's up next? Got Ron up next. Ron, go ahead, Ron.

Yeah, I want to say thank you to all the police officers and the patrolmen and all that. so thankful and I totally believe that if anybody resists the rest, they need to suffer the consequences because there's something wrong.

But TV, TV, I go back to the Long Ranger and Dale Rogers, Johnny Carson. Yeah, but we were talking about Saturday Night Live, yeah. Mm-hmm. So,

but. I was born in 1947, so I got to see the first colored TV, and everybody was excited when we had black and white TV. And my parents got excited because they got a radio. All right. The friends would come listen to the radio. Well, we're on it now. It's laughing.

I appreciate the call. It has. You know, people say radio's dead. Yeah, it's not going anywhere. We're still here. Estate renovation isn't just your go-to rhyme for kitchens, baths, and basement. They also bring top-quality craftsmanship to decks. Do you have a deck?

I'm talking, Tripp Fontaine, Ryan Clark. Sometimes when we're in the pursuit of the thing,

What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano and our podcast Point Game is about defining the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never. ever 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 Nass would get that thing. that man, hair get the flying, he running up the court, licking his fingers while he got the ball.

Like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, guys? This is Clifford 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 of 42.

Hey, rep, my mama wants 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. Welcome back. Kentucky Sports Radio here at the Kentucky State Police Training Academy. The LEAP program, the law enforcement accelerated program.

If you are a police officer somewhere in the state and you want to become a trooper, there's a 14-week accelerated academy. You can learn more at join KSP.com for all of the officers around the state who would like to join the academy. I know we have a ton of officers. I literally yesterday was in Louisville, stopped to eat. there was an officer sitting right next to me in the car. You know, I don't do anything, but I still get nervous sometimes. When an officer's right there, it's like, hey, man, we all good?

You feel like maybe you could be doing something wrong? You don't know what you're doing? Well, no, I'm not, but there's just something about him sitting right there. But I got out of the car, and he hollered at me, and I was like, uh-oh, they got me. And then he just said, hey, I'm listening to KSR right now. Let's see, how cool is that? It's kind of neat. They've got a sidewalk out front here, and the middle of the sidewalk is about,

We think about a foot wide gray line. And they call it, you know, the gray line. And the cadets cannot walk on one side of the line until they graduate. And they never step on the gray line. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, that's kind of cool. Yeah, that's interesting. 859-280-2287.

In addition to SNL-50, there's two big sporting events this weekend. NBA All-Star Game and the Daytona 500. Which of those two are you the most interested in? Wow. There's a time of my life. I would easily say the Daytona 500. Yeah, I'm not anymore. Nope.

You're not interested at all. Not even a little bit. I want to see this 14 playoff we're doing it at the NBA All-Star game this weekend. That's going to be new. I'm still interested in the Daytona 500. Helio, here's a little story. You know who Helio Castro Nevis is? He's an Indy car driver.

He's racing in the Indy 5-0. Is he really? I don't think he's ever done it. And he's going to do it for the first time. They gave him a special entry in the field. and Helio Castro Nevis will be in the day Tone 5th. That's kind of neat, right? I guess if you like NASCAR.

I'm more into the All-Star game. No NASCAR people here. I can't name three NASCAR drivers right now. Yeah, you got... Are the Bush is still running? Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch. Okay, there's two. I think Kyle's still going.

I don't know if Kurt's still going. What about Carl Edwards? Is he still driving? I think he's been retired for a long time. Dale Earnhardt Jr. owns a team now. They're going for the first. time. Okay.

And Chris Stapleton will be on the car. He's not driving. Oh, he's going to ride on the car? It's a Chris Stapleton is the hood. So that's kind of cool. It is crazy how NASCAR, the popularity of it is still great for the people that go to the races. But I think on TV you don't watch it as much like you do. Let me have the case for watching the Daytona 500.

Here's the one thing about the Daytona 500. Because they draft, cars that have no chance of winning otherwise have a shot. And so like the good thing about the Daytona 500 is, is literally anybody can win it. It's the only NASCAR race with them in Talladega, where because of drafting, random people can win. So it is exciting if you're not like a normal fan every day. I actually think the Daytona 500 finish never fails to be exciting.

Yeah, but let's not forget, if you're not into NASCAR, boy, Tyler Hero is in the three-point contest this weekend with the All-Star Games. There's some Kentucky connection there and All-Star Weekend. And the one kid's going for three straight dunk contests. Mack McClunk. They were going to have Steph Curry versus first Caitlin Clark and then Sabrina Onyensku and then that got canceled. So now they're not doing that.

See, I think that would be interesting. I think Steph Curry versus Caitlin Clark people would have walked. Absolutely, they would walk. I think people would have watched that, but they ended up, they're not doing that. That would have been the highlight of the weekend even over the game. And with the game this year, Shea, if he doesn't have the best odds to be in He's second. So who do we have in it?

We've got Shea. Anthony Davis is hurt. So we got Shea. Is Carl in it? Should be Carl's in it. Hero made it over Maxi, actually. Maxi got snubbed. Shea, Carl, and Hero, and Booker.

Booker. So we got four. We almost have five guys. So this game that they're doing, it's a race to 40 points in each game, right? I don't know the rule. I think I read that. So the game's going to be over in, what, five minutes? I mean, we know how quickly they scored the NBA All-Star games.

I think they're going to make it to where it's competitive. It hasn't been competitive in years. They're trying to find ways to make them care. Nate Amit, for people who don't know, top five recruit in America, most people thought he was down to Duke, Tennessee, and Louisville, but now he visited Kentucky on Tuesday night. I can't figure out.

Most people seem to think he's going to Duke, but Louisville fans think he's going to Louisville. They're doing that thing online where you can give money to get him to come, which I don't really understand. stand. Drew, you follow this closer than I do. Do we have any chance of getting this kid? He was at the UK Tennessee game Tuesday night. Well, that definitely helped. Kentucky was behind in the race, maybe running fourth or even fifth,

but then they got him to go on campus, which that's a big step in itself. And then they knew, all right, we got to get some work in. And then I was watching him during the game on Tuesday, just like everyone else in Ruff Arena. He was loving every bit of it. So I think that went a long way in his eyes. And his Tennessee visit, he was on his Tennessee visit when we want. down there. So he's now seen us beat Tennessee twice. I think there's a little bit of an Adidas connection that people think will help Louisville. Maybe he's been a guy that I don't know that.

I'm not as clear on that one. But, you know, Kentucky's not first now, but they made up a lot of ground. And they're in the conversation and feel good about how the visit went. He's still got a few weeks to go before he decides, but that's an elite player. What do you think about the thing where, like, fans can give money for him to go to the school? So that's fan stake, right, where you can basically just bid on a player. I guess. I haven't really followed.

Then if he doesn't go there, he can then take that money and then give it to other players. That's from what I understand. Is that right, Drew? You don't get the money back? I don't know about that angle of it. I think so. I thought you got the money back. You don't think.

I don't think, I don't think, I don't think, I don't think, I don't think, I don't think, I don't think it's slimy, whatever it is. Yeah, it feels like you could take the money and then give it to like another. Yeah, I mean, good luck. I know Louisville fans have given a lot of money in that. Yeah. You know, just everything's changed. They used to not even be able to, you know, give somebody a bomb a cheese,

and McDonald's and now it's like how much can I vend on him? Kelvin Samson got fired for making phone calls. And now you just get to like give money on the internet to whoever you want. So, okay, if he doesn't sign the agreement, he can either give the money, donate it towards the school he selects to his teammates or give it to a nonprofit. Wait a minute. So if I give, hang on just a second. Now wait a minute.

If I'm a Louisville fan and I give him money to go to Louisville and he goes to Duke, he can give my money to the other players who went. to Duke? That's my under's my understanding. Why would I want to do that? Or he can give it to a nonprofit. That makes zero sense. Like, so if I were to put

money in on this kid, you're telling me that I have to pay for other players at Duke? I'm sorry, I'm going to collect if he picks another school. I'm showing up. This is a class action lawsuit. We need our money back. That sounds like the worst thing I've ever heard. It does. All right, well, 899-28027. We'll take a break. Be right back here at the Kentucky

State Police Academy, it's KSR. Welcome back, Tucky Sports Radio, here on Valentine's Day at the Kentucky State Police Training Academy. You can show your love this Valentine's Day with a home-cooked meal of high-quality dry-age beef from Noche Linda Farms. I met a woman about a week ago who said to me that her and her husband get Noce Linda Farms, and it's the best beef they've ever had. And it's right here from in Kentucky.

You can call Steve Grissom, the owner. It's 859-707-7-4-4-4. he'll tell you about the gift of dryage beef. You can get through delivery or gift card. Learn more at nocha LindaFarms.com. That's N-O-C-H-E-LindaFarms.com. They dry-age their beef for 24 days. It's nocha LindaFarms.com.

You guys, we've all had it. I don't cook it because I don't know how, but you all have cooked it for me, as have other people, and it's good stuff. It's good meat when Ryan actually gives me the meat. I brought it to you. I brought it to you. Yeah, six months later.

Billy told a great story about Steve Grissman, don't you let to Farms on the pre-show? Last year, Billy had two steaks and burnt them. He's trying to grill up for Marissa, burnt them. Steve has sent him two steaks for tonight with seasoning and a meat thermometer and said you can even call me if I can help you prepare them tonight. Wow. Can't screw that up, right?

How's your cooking going? I've taken one class just to get the basics. I have a person who's offered, and when the season's over, I'm going to really dive into it. Oh, so April, we're really going to be going into cooking. Well, I mean, I just don't like, I feel like once I get going, by June, I'm just going to be eating all my cooking. The restaurants in Lexington are going to feel bad. Yeah. That's not that I'm not there as much.

I'm looking forward to it. Go to join KSP.com. If you're interested in the Kentucky State Police Training Academy, let's go over a couple other things real quick. 1230 tomorrow, they're going to release the top 16 seeds in the NCAA tournament as of today. Will Kentucky be on the list, Drew? Absolutely. I think there was an update today I haven't seen yet, but they were number 11 on the Lannardi's yesterday, so I think they'll be in good position when it comes out. It'll be interesting. We could see us tomorrow as a three or a four seed leading into the Texas game. Yeah, I think that's why we'll safely see them at some point tomorrow at three or a four seed.

That's all you got? Yeah. So what you're saying is not a one or a two, but maybe at three or four. Now here's the crazy part. That needed another sentence. It just stopped. Are three of the top four one seed is going to be SEC teams? Yeah. Yeah. I think, well, they punish Kentucky at all for having injuries right now?

Do you think that maybe that would drop them down a seed? Or do they not look at that type of thing? They don't use the injuries against you unless they know you're going into the tournament without them. Will they use – okay. Now, what they will do – because, again, when I did this, there was – Nirlens Noel was hurt. Right. What they will do is they'll say, okay, this record is this,

but some of these bad losses occurred with the guys out, but it's only if the dude is back in the tournament, right? So, you know, but. With all that being up in the air, it's probably a wash. It's probably a wash. I'd say whatever it is we are is what we would have been anyway. I lucked up to the Bracketology. It's one we should talk about.

What is it? Cleveland, three-seed. Like that. Potential second-requent. matchup with St. John's. Arkansas. Arkansas. Well, I mean,

they have Arkansas. So they're the 11th or 11. Who would they have to, who's Arkansas have to play? They're actually a play in with San Diego State just to get there. Then Illinois is the six. So you're looking at Kentucky or Illinois. Yeah, but I mean, just that on there is. I will say this.

If for some reason we played Arkansas in the tournament, that would be the most important game of Mark Pope's entire Kentucky coaching career. Like, you cannot lose to Arkansas twice. this year. It was bad enough losing once, but you can't lose to them twice. And you made the switch because Cal couldn't win in the postseason anymore, so that would be a bad look. Yeah, yeah. I don't want to think about that. That would not be a... Did I say where it is? That would be Cleveland. Yeah, you said that. Okay. This is a little bit of a sad thing, but I also, it's like something, you know, that I feel like has to be done. Can I give my

one Lexington, you got to do something? Okay. Winchester Road. Another person got hit this It's crazy. Like, that's like 10 this year. It's like that, and it's all in the same place. And I understand that it's, that's an area where there's a lot of people with substance abuse. Like, I get it. But like, that is becoming every day.

Someone gets hit. This was at seven in the morning. Someone gets hit every day. So you want to be mayor. What would you do? That's a good question. Because they've got the stop. It's not the stoplights.

It's like frog. What's a long stretch, though, of no stoplight, and it's got a hill. And no sidewalk. And no sidewalks. That's it. There's no crossing. So what would you do? I think you just got to put in more crossing areas where, you know, you've got the flashing lights.

Like they do it at trancey. So that's what you. So you would have a crosswalk with flashing lights. Like they've got right in front of trancy to kind of eliminate some issues. But it's really not. not things to walk to back and forth. Like with trancy, you're walking from one side of the game. Why don't we start with sidewalks? That feels like the first thing you would do. Well, it's hard because there's not an obvious place where you would put them, to be honest. It's just that is

becoming literally someone is getting hit every single week. I drive it multiple times a day. You have to be on full alert. People will just step out in front of you. And unfortunately, part of it, it's this one area where if they would walk just a little bit to the intersection, there's a crosswalk, but people are still just stepping right out. I mean, they've got their shopping carts, and it's just an area where... The fact that it's a hill, I think, makes it too, because if you're coming

into town, you can't see. And so if you're going fast, you could get over the hill, and literally someone could be right there when you get there. So, but it's a, it's a terrible situation. I don't, why do you it's kind of worse, though, in the last year or two. One of the local

stations, I'm not sure which was, did a, like, a story about all the people being hit and killed crossing in that area right there. It is a bad situation. With the crosswalk lights, you know, you hit a button, you go across, then it should maybe have some flashing lights for drivers. If you were coming from the other side, I'm not sure you can see it. Unless, I guess you could see the light.

But anyway, who's up next? Johnny is up next. Johnny, go ahead, John. I've been listening for a long time, and based on knowing your all's lives, I feel like you should keep that dog away from Shannon's car, make it a hit. Please.

Driving a company vehicle, sir. Wow, Shannon. What a good call out at the police academy. That feels like that was a little. Corbred hip is completely legal. That's right. Go ahead. Do you all have any idea who were the first host of S&L was?

First host. George Carlin. Yep. George Carlin. Yeah, and you should watch it. It's on Peacock, and it's definitely not PC. Yeah, I appreciate the call. Well, there's a movie that I saw at Chris.

Christmas called Saturday Night, which is about the first episode. And it's really good. I recommend it. Who has hosted it the most? Alec Baldwin was in the running for a while. I know the ones that have done it a lot. Steve Martin's done it a lot. Alec Baldwin's done it a lot.

I don't know. It's a good question. I bet you it's Steve Martin, but that's just a guess. Who's next? Kentucky hippie is next. Kentucky hippie. How are you? Doing good, fellas.

Happy Friday. Happy Valentine's. enjoy Austin, Matt. I have a question for you guys. What animal has a butthole on its back? All right. We're at the police department. Okay? Why are you asking me questions

like that? Well, I think you got it, Matt. It's a police horse. Who's up next? Slugger is up next. Slugger. Go ahead, slugger. I think the funniest cast member was John Belushi. he um he was also only on for like one year yeah he's he passed away very soon after but go ahead

but yeah it's tragic you know you look at all the guys that died off that show john balushi uh oh uh chris farley um the hartman guy and uh yeah they definitely uh kind of a strange club that they were in But the funniest skit, I think, was the devil and people's court with John Lovitz. Do you remember that one? I do not, no. Yeah, he was, he'd bought a girl's soul. You can't explain to a skit. I mean, that won't work.

Explaining a skit won't work. I mean, I just, but I will look it up because I do like John Lovitz. I appreciate the call. I was at the UK women's game yesterday. Oh, you went. Nice. I went. did not go well for the UK women.

Texas's women's team is really good, and they're bigger, and they're stronger. They're very physical. And they just, our women's team just was completely out physicaled. Georgia Amor really didn't play very well. Had she played well, I think they could have kept it closer, but it just didn't work. Now, I will say it was the, like, cancer awareness game, so the UK women wore a pink, uniforms and Kenny Brooks had one of the coolest UK sweatshirts I've ever seen. It was like, it was white with blue, but it had a pink Kentucky. And I can't do justice to it. I was like,

I want that. That is a really cool UK sweatshers. I hope they sell that for either. That was an awesome sweatshirt. Raise money for cancer awareness or something like that, because it was, I've never seen that before. But shout out to the crowd. It wasn't 100% full, but it was very close and they were allowed when they could be. You know, now once we fell down 20. It was hard for the crowd to get loud. But in the first quarter, they were really into it, and I think the crowd kept it close for a while. But you see the difference between being like a really good team like Kentucky and one of the teams that can win a national championship like Texas. They just had insane size. Yeah, two takeaways from me. One, we saw the top tier of the

SEC is a whole other level of basketball. Now, Kentucky can play with them, but they'll have to hit threes. And last night, they went three for 15. I mean, You ain't winning. You ain't beaten Texas, LSU, Tennessee, South Carolina shooting like that. Hopefully they'll shoot better moving forward. But back to Brooks, everyone should go watch his press conference. He gets very emotional. His wife just got over her cancer, and he gives you a lot of perspective on life with that. I mean, they've just lost a big game.

I know he wanted to win, but him talking about family issues, I think everyone should go watch that. I was going to say that. So everybody, probably every single person listening has either had someone in their family, have cancer, or who has dealt with it. Kenny Brooks after the game last night spends a lot of time talking about his wife because this was a breast cancer kind of awareness thing. And he talks about his wife who has been fighting cancer over the last year. And he breaks down, I mean, they just lost by 20 points, but he breaks down talking about that.

And it's on kentuckysportsradio.com. You really ought to look it up. And especially if you're someone that has had a loved one who deals with that, I think you'll find his message last night really powerful. Kenny, I think, is a great coach, but he also seems like a great person. And Mitch Barnhart, I think, knocked it out of the park with him as a coach. 859-28027. We will take a break.

Come back. We are here at the Kentucky State Police Training Academy. Final segment on Valentine's Day. This is KSR. 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 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 athletes 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 SportsSlice on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more, follow Timbo Sliced Life 12 in the TikTok podcast network on TikTok. Welcome to my new podcast, Learn the Hardway with me, your host and your favorite therapist, Kear Games. And in recognition of mental health awareness month, I'm bringing over a decade of my own experience in the mental health field and conversations with so many incredible guests.

I'm talking, Tripp Fontaine, Ryan Clark. Sometimes when we're in the pursuit. suit of the thing, we get so wrapped up in the chase that we don't realize that we are in possession of the thing and we're still chasing it and we don't know when we've done enough. Because people scoreboard

watch. Life becomes about wins and losses. Steve Burns, Dustin Ross, because you find it important to be a good person while you hear on earth or are you a good person because you're afraid? Because that's two different intentions, bro. Absolutely. And that's two different levels of trust. I want you to just really

be a good person. Join me. Kier Gains is we have real conversations about healing, growth, fatherhood, pressure, and purpose on my new podcast, Learn the Hard Way. Open your free iHeartRadio app. Search Learn the Hardway and listen now. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm CJ Toledano and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game.

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

And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nass would get that thing. That man, hell get the fly. man, 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. 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 Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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. Hey, you know these kids.

This linebacker walks up to me, he goes, A, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What? Time out. Quarterback on office blue of 42. Hey, rep, my mama wants you to wave at her. What? Hey, Ms. Parker.

Listen to the Clifford show on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. 859-280-2287. Text machine is 772-7474-5. 254. You were right, Ryan, Alec Baldwin has hosted the most. He's the most. I knew you had to be up there.

Which is White Lotus debuts Sunday. Oh, okay. I didn't know it was coming out. I'm looking forward to that. Are they doing just one episode at a time? Okay. So that's a lot of, you got a lot of television this weekend. You got Kentucky, Texas, you got Alabama Auburn, you got Daytona 500, got the NBA All-Star game, you got White Lotus, S&L 50. And if you miss it, you got Monday to go back and watch what you missed

Because it's a three-day weekend. We have a show Monday? No. No. Yes, so we are off. How do you not know that? I didn't know. You wait until today to ask.

I told you we didn't have a show. Yes, we do not have a show on Monday. Here's what we're running, by the way. Talk to Billy. On Monday, since we're off for President's Day, we are running the show the morning after Pope's announced hiring. So when Mitch Barnhart came on, And it will be interesting. I haven't heard it since we did it.

But if I remember correctly, we came on on the first segment, not sure if he should be the coach, and came out of the final segment saying, we're in, let's all go to Rupp Arena. So if you want to listen to that transformation, that two hours, which may have been the most transforming two hours that Kentucky fan base has had in a long time, we are going to run that, Drew, on Monday. And I'm actually kind of excited to go back and hear it because I've not listening to. to it since we did it. Oh, I remember that show very well. We were over in the distillery district, and before the show started, there were people in the parking lot like, man, what are we going to do? I can't believe they just hired Pope. Those same people after the show are in the parking lot celebrating Pope.

It was the biggest flip, biggest turnaround in two hours you could have imagined. If you're a psychology professor, you really ought to listen and listen to watch group think change quickly over the course of two hours. And it'll be interesting to see how that happened. Yeah, if I remember, we had some calls early on, and even the callers gradually kind of accepting the fact and then got on board with it throughout the course of the show. I think Jack Gibbons calls in during the show, and Mitch Barnhart

calls in, we find out about the Petino video during the show. We announced the craft $5 million donation during the show. So there's a lot that happens during those two hours. And Mitch announced that Sunday press conference, and we're

all like, well, let's go. Come on, everybody. Let's get in there. We had no idea what we were heading into, but we were all at that point excited to go be a part of it, not knowing what was ahead. So that's Monday at 10 a.m. Who's up next? Sean from Austin is next. Sean, go ahead, Sean. Hey, guys. You got a lot going on television. I got two things. Number one, the NHL went to a four nation's playoff tournament, which is super interesting because you got all the guys that are ones from Switzerland. Sweden, ones from Finland and Canada and United States. And United States got into some huge fights in their first game, and it was played in Canada and the Canadian crowd booed during the national anthem. So, again, if you're looking for something else to watch on TV. I think the U.S. folks are going to get booed everywhere for a while, but that's the way it goes. The U.S. games are in the Boston Garden, so they're going to have a rocking crowd there.

And my second thing is for you, Matt, if you're cooking, some super easy that you can, like, you know, hit it out of the park and get, you know, get going real easy is chili, right? You can make chili with, like, ground turkey, ground chicken, ground beef, or I make it with bison, and then you just, you know, throw whatever you want in there. But that's a real easy thing to make that you can, you know, be successful with throughout the bat.

All right, well, I appreciate it. I don't have a ton of bison on me in any given moment, but I feel like, you know. Ground beef will work. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, I'll make you, listen, you don't worry about me. Have you ever had bad, chili? Yeah, but like, you're right.

Chili seems like something you can do. Seems like something to be hard to screw up. Pretty well. Who's next? Bill is next. Bill, go ahead, Bill. Hey, I've lived on Winchester Road for 50 years. The problem is more the driver's side than the pedestrian.

You cannot see the pedestrians because there's no lighting at the part of the road where that motel is that goes across the street to the Thorntons. It needs lighting. The people that are walking across, they're not paying attention to anything anyway. So you've got to help the driver to be able to see people. That makes perfect sense. That's kind of what I want from my mayor, Ryan, that I was asking you, was to get like this guy seems like he had a solution.

Yeah, I think, you know, like we said, crosswalks with a bunch of flashing lights. We don't maybe need one that goes over the road. I hadn't thought about that. One of the goes up and over the road. That's a little expensive, but yeah, that would help. Tell me about Stockton Mortgage. Oh, look at this. My phone just went, screen went blank, right when you threw it to me.

It's amazing how that happens every single time. Seasons, they are changing, and so are the rates. So if you bought a home in the last couple of years, maybe it's time to look at your home loan to see if it's a good time to refi. If you're thinking of refinancing your mortgage, talk to our people at Stockton Mortgage. I was just there. yesterday. Ask for a free mortgage review. Get started at Stockton.com for refinanced transactions.

Be aware that by refinancing your existing loan, your total finance charge may be higher. Stockton mortgage, MLS, 8259, equal housing lender. So if we, this weekend, Kentucky and Texas, let's say Kentucky's a one or two-point favorite, we will make our predictions on the pregame show. What do you think, Scott? I think Kentucky will win. I'm cautiously optimistic without Robinson and Butler. But I think Kentucky by three feels good to me. All right. So the pregame show is at 4.30 tomorrow.

We'll have a game watch party there at 8. I would suggest get there by 7, 715. These night game watch parties have gotten a ton of people. But we will be 430 to 5.30. We're in studio because I'm out. I'm going to be out of town. So we will be in studio, but the game will be at 8. Thank you all very much here at the Kentucky.
