Welcome in to Kentucky Sports Radio.

Drew Franklin here, filling in one last time for Matt Jones and everyone else that took vacation this week. I got another fun show planned on a Friday with Billy R. Sports here. We're in studio. I just sat down like 30 seconds ago, so I'm a little out of breath. But we're going to have a fun time, Billy. Today we're, as usual, sponsored by T.J. Smith, personal injury lawyer. What will TJ do if you give him a call?

He'll make them pay. He will absolutely make them pay. We want to hear from you on the Clark's Pump and Shop phone line, 859-280-2287. We'll have our Whiskey Thief call of the day. And if you want to text Matt on the A-Vision Auto Glass text machine, he's still over looking at tulips in Amsterdam with his fellowship friends. You can reach out to him there. But it's going to be a fun one. I had a big plan for, you know, Lexington turns to a.

150 this year, Billy. I don't know if you've seen the mural. I've seen him. Town's all about Lexington's birthday coming up. So I wanted to do a celebration of Lexington. I even invited the mayor to come on and give her some of her favorite Lexington things. She was going to be here at 11 and she asked if she could do 10.15. And it's like, okay, we'll make that work. And then the Acadon Lewis news dropped in the middle of the night. So I hope she has a Caden Lewis takes when she gets here. But Mayor Linda Gordon will be joining us. Like I said, we'll get her takes on Lexington. We'll share some of our favorite things about Lexington. and I have a ticket giveaway.

You got a giveaway today too? Actually, I wasn't going to say ticket giveaway. I was going to surprise everyone. I have a giveaway. Just pretend I didn't say ticket. Wow. We'll scratch that out. But I was trying to think of a game.

I was over here in the other room coming up with it on the fly. I think I'm going to reward people that listen to the whole show. Okay. I like that. So I'm going to give a buzzword in each segment. And you got to know the of the first hour. You got to know all four buzzwords, one for each segment. And the second hour will take calls.

And you cannot participate unless you know all four of the buzzwords. Oh, okay. So if you're out there, just write it down. If you're driving, make a middle note until you can pull over. It won't be complicated words. Just one word a segment. I'll let you know which word it is. And then we'll have some calls and one lucky caller will win if they know.

The mayor of Lexington and a giveaway on the final day of Drew Paloosa. I mean, what more could you want? You came up with a game we're going to try to get to. Probably won't because I overprogram all of this. And we got thrown off with the Acadon Lewis News. But it's going to be a fun day. I guess we're calling it Drew Palooza's last ride. My last time in charge.

But I guess we do have to start with the big news. I think we do. Yeah. We've had a lot of news, a lot of basketball this week. I was excited to get extra goofy today. But yeah, more news dropped last night. First, I want to apologize to at Kev Miller 7, long time listener. He tweets us a lot.

After yesterday's show, he tweeted, Drew Palooza started with great news and a commitment. Hopefully it ends with good news and a commitment on Friday. Well, Kevin, we actually went the other direction. Instead of a plus one today, Kentucky basketball is a minus one. We learned last night at Caden Lewis, the four-star point guard from D.C., who has been committed to Kentucky since November. He looked around at that roster and said, I'm out. He decommitted from the Cats.

He's the number 32 incoming freshman in the class, fifth-ranked point guard, a guy we were very excited about having. He and Jasper Johnson, Pope spoke highly of them as a future back court. But last night, he stepped away and reopened his recruitment. he will not be a wildcat. He put a little memo out that said, I'll always be grateful to Coach Pope and the entire Kentucky staff for believing in me. It is clear Kentucky is a special place

with an amazing fan base, but as I reflect on what is best for my future, I have decided to reopen my recruitment. It's an incredibly difficult decision, but after a lot of discussion with my family and people I trust, I feel it's necessary. It's not in any way of reflection

of negative feelings towards Coach Pope in Kentucky. I appreciate your understanding, exciting for what the future holds. We didn't see that one coming, Billy. No, and it's disappointing. I mean, this is a freshman that was going to come in that understood what it means to be a part of BBN. His family was a big fan of what the Kentucky basketball program does and the stage that it sets for others. But I'm not that worried.

I have the confidence that Pope will be able to reload, find another person in the transfer portal. Ultimately, it will be okay. But overall, disappointing that he wasn't willing to compete. I found a quote when he signed that he said, they want me to come in and play a priority role right away. There's a starting spot and he wants me to take it. I want to come in and run the team. And obviously with the addition of Jalen Lowe,

I guess he just thought that he wasn't going to be the starting point guard. Yeah, my take on it is it definitely hurts to lose a kid that was committed for five months. We're all excited about him. He was probably going to, I know he said he wanted to start right away, think that was unlikely. He was, I think the plan was to make him the starting point guard his sophomore year. in 26-27 after kind of a year and being in the system as a backup. I think Pope was supposed to go out and get a senior.

And when you miss on Dent and maybe some others, he goes and gets Jalen Lowe, who's a junior. And now that's thrown off the math and the timeline. So my guess on the outside looking in is Caden Lewis was ready to back up whoever they got out of the portal, learn, and then be the guy in two years. But now with Lowe here, you know, he could end up being a two-year point guard.

That probably is the plan. So it stinks to lose him. I'm not going to act like it's nothing, but I don't know that it will have a huge impact on next season. I think they'll go out. They'll find someone in the portal that's excited to come play 10, 15 minutes at Kentucky, be a good back up to Lowe. They've got other guards that can do it. But, you know, it does stink overall because we're excited to have him,

and I think he was going to be the guy two years from now. Sure. I suppose we won't really know how it shakes out until he's a sophomore and Lowe's a senior to know how we won that one, because right now he's a freshman. He could show up and be a freshman phenom or he could be someone that needs some time. It did stink seeing that news pop up late last night. Yeah, we'll see where he falls. You know, there's been rumblings about Yukon,

and that was in his recruitment back when he committed back to Kentucky. But I'm with you. I think that Pope will find somebody in the portal. Do you call Kirkreza back? I mean, I'll admit that pops in my head pretty quickly, because they're going to need that type. They're going to need an old guy who just wants to get a little NIL money in his last ride, doesn't have to be the star, happy to come off the bench,

maybe can go chase a final four. There's probably several people in college basketball that aren't even in the portal that would love that spot. So I don't think they'll have any trouble filling it. But I did think of Kirkrys right away. I don't know. I mean, maybe that's like getting back with your ex. But I don't know if there were hard feelings there.

I feel like he loved to the university. But Matt has alluded some maybe things behind closed doors. I don't know. It's just a strange time. I mean, the portal's still open for another, what, 11 days or so? And guys that are entering the portal, maybe haven't even done that yet. So it's just a strange time, but, you know, Drew Palooza ending with a decommitment. I did not see that coming after all the positive momentum we had, Drew.

I feel bad. You know, we've added, I think, two players, maybe three players. I think you're still plus one. Three players, yeah. Well, if you count. Diabate. Wasn't there one last Saturday? Jating Quaitence.

And low. Low was on Saturday. So I'm claiming last weekend. I'm still, we're still in the green. But as, as Kev Miller 7 suggested, you know, I wanted to come here and one, one last the addition to the roster before I disappear and I just feel like I let everyone down. Well, that, and if we don't get to alien talk

in the second hour, you'll let some more people. People are mad about that. Again, I have way too much in my notes. I wanted to do aliens. I really want to talk about Lexington. As I said, the mayor is going to be joining us soon. We were shooting to do that 11, but she needed to come in a little earlier, which is fine. We'll get Hurricane and Lewis takes. And alien takes.

Yeah, we're just going to talk aliens with Mayor Linda Gordon. But it's going to be a fun show. Like I said, you want to listen to the whole show. I'm going to drop a buzzword every action we'll just do it right now what's your first first segment if you're driving do not write it down I gotta get ready right buckle up put your phone down if you're driving

just memorize it or tell it to everyone in the car with you memorize it together and then write it down when you get parked but just for this segment the buzzword is lady lady lady it's pretty easy right you remember ladies easy I'm not trying to like confuse anyone you know not to really use your brain here just lady who's that lady exactly lady remember lady if you're listening you'll need to remember

in the second hour if you want to win our contest. But yeah, we're going to get to a lot about Lexington, celebrating that 250th birthday. I want to list some my favorite restaurants and places because people ask me all the time, where do you like to go? Where should I go before the game? What do you do in your free time?

And I try to respond to a lot of them, but now that I have this platform, I'll just tell you, and you all can figure it out and go from there. Billy, you haven't lived in Lexington long, but I know you like living here. I'm going to get some of your favorite places, what you like to do. I got a couple spots.

not all golf courses and you can't just read our sponsors I mean I know we like our sponsors damn okay well then I'll get it out of the way now like you should go to italics and poppies and all the great places Ksbar we love KSbar yeah I guess we'll throw them in there

I mean we love the ones that that support us those are genuine but we're going to branch out and tell you about some others that we don't always tell people sounds good maybe some Lexington ghosts I could combine you know that I saw on Reddit

which is the most reliable website on Earth earlier this week that people were freaking out about a UFO over Lexington. Over Lexington? I think it was just someone with a drone. But, you know, we'll get wacky if we need to here on a Friday. Maybe do some alien ghost Lexington talk. But be a big Lexington day. We'll do a little more about a Caden Lewis.

Like I said, Linda Gordon will be here and here soon. It's going to be a fun last Friday before the boys get back. I actually heard from Ryan Lemon last night, so I know he's alive. He asked me a question about the Masters just out of the blue. That's the only thing he's communicated. So I've correct answered that. But that was my at least proof of life on Ryan and Shannon down there. Yeah, I saw a seagull pooped on them yesterday.

Oh, I didn't see that. Yeah, Shannon posted a picture. Okay, I did see a picture. Yoga Girl posted a picture of Ryan and Shannon in the ocean together. My goodness. Are they holding hands? Yeah, I mean, it's a big ocean, guys. You don't have to stand that close together when you're in it.

It looked like they were hugging about 20 yards out in the water. They're pretty close to getting a banana boat and floating around, I think. like the guys are having a good time. Ryan also tweeted a picture of him eating a sandwich and Shannon eating a sandwich. I don't know if it was blurry because he had mayo on his lens or if that's kind of how Ryan's vision looks after a few marks today. But it looks like they're having fun before they join us next week. Yeah, somebody said that he took that picture with a seashell.

It kind of looks like it. Well, we do miss them. We've had fun, but it would be good to get them back on Monday. Let's take a quick break because I'm a little worried about running into the hard break with Mayor Gordon. Yeah, we are going to. Yeah, that would be the worst. So let's cut out a little earlier now so we have more time with her. Talk a little Lexton.

Like I said, big show plan. So tune in. And remember, lady, we'll be right back. 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.

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.

And on my podcast, The Clivert 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 42. A rep, my mama want you to wave at her. What?

Where's he at? Hey, Miss Parker. Listen to the Cliverts show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast, Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what.

He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. 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 bases on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nass would get that

thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers, 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. Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover, and a Gen X woman walking through life, one hot flash and hormonal crying jag at a time.

You ladies know what I mean. I'll bet you a paramedeposal chin here you do. So let's talk about it. Join me on my new podcast. How hard can it be with the Adam Maria Riva, where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate midlife's most fantastic BS. All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own. I was like, what the hell is that? I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be. Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive.

Wait, what sex? Dating at 45. How high can it be getting naked at 50? with the new guy. That one's kind of hard, you know? Well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears or tears of laughter, and dive into it, unfiltered and unbothered and ask,

how hard can it be? I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public. Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva as part of My Cultura Podcast Network, available on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back into Kentucky Sports Radio, Drew Franklin with Billy Rullidge on the last day of Drew Palooza.

And now we are happy to be joined by our special guest, Lexington Mayor Linda Gordon. Linda, it's good to have you in here. Thanks for making the trip up to the IHeart Studios to celebrate Lexington with us for a segment. Well, I'm thrilled to be here. I didn't know it was a Palooza, though. A Drew Palooza? That wasn't the plan, but listeners named it that. So we just went with it.

It works, doesn't it? We'll get you a T-shirt on the way out and maybe a poster. But we're talking about Lexington today, and who knows Lexington as well as you. So I wanted to get some things not so serious, just more things like, what are your favorite restaurants? What's this? What's that? But I want to start with the excitement around UK basketball. You're a UK graduate, if I'm not mistaken.

I don't know if you get to attend many games, but are you caught up in the Mark Pope hype after the last season? Oh, I am right there with everybody. I bleed blue. My husband's a graduate. Our kids are graduates. We are all in. to a lot of the games. And Mark Pope is, he's a phenomenal coach and a phenomenal human being.

And when he first came, I went last summer to visit him and welcome him to our city. Welcome him back, right? And he, one of the, one of the first things he said is, how can I help you? He's such a, he has a giving mentality, but he is also a man, I think, a very high character. don't you absolutely we all see that i think that's part of the excitement it's been revamped up here lately yeah and um so we're gonna see what this new team looks like it's kind of fun isn't it it's hard to keep up with we had news drop last night i'm not going to have you break down the acaden louis you're gonna ask you know i don't want to put you on the spot i'm sure you have strong opinions

about the roster right now but you mentioned in mentioned uh welcoming pope back to lexton my next question is I want to pretend like Billy here does not know anything about Lexington. Just pretend he's an alien that has never heard of our beautiful city. How would you describe Lexington to young Billy here? Well, first I would say, where in the heck have you been? We are a great city, Billy. Lots of food, restaurants, local restaurants. Lots of facilities for bike riding, pedestrians, if you're going to ride your bike,

the restaurant scene, I think, is just phenomenal here. It's highly educated city. The downtown's vibrant. It is alive. I've had some unnamed other mayors in town after five, and they have been shocked at how busy our downtown is. It's really great. A lot going on sports.

If you like sports, this is the place to be. Because we've got it all here, right? I'm going to put you on the, spot with some restaurants. I consider myself a bit of a foodie. You know, if you're going out, whether it be meeting with other mayors or just taking the family out, can you name drop some places you like to go? Is that putting you on the spot? You're asking me to name drop in a city with all kinds of great food. I mean, Italian, I have my favorite Italian restaurants. You want me to really say them, don't you? Well, I mean, I know you, you love them all. But yeah,

Pizza. So a fella in my daughter's high school class started Goodfellas down the street. We all love Good Fellas. Of course, everybody does. I've got my favorite place for Ahi Tuna. Do you like Ahi Tuna? Of course. My gosh.

We've got it all. Brunch places. We've got after hours places. Go have some appetizers and a drink. You really, I know you're dying for me to say names. That's okay. I understand. We don't want you to put others on top. Because there's so many. That's true. How about when you were at UK a student just a few years ago, were there any places that you like to go that are maybe gone and you wish you could bring back?

Did you have any places you'd frequent when you were in school? There are. So on South Lime, there was a place called Doodles Pizza. Now, this is going way back. And Doodles had the thickest cheese on top. Of course, I love cheese. but at that time my husband and I were dating and we were young and I could share a large pizza with him right on so that one's gone I really we've thought about that a lot over the years and did you ever I shouldn't maybe mention this but only the people who were here a long time ago will remember shoes okay shoes S I think it was S H-U-E-S or something it was right across from the med center. And on Friday night, all the nursing students, which I was one, and the

med students would go. And they had pizza and big pictures of beer. I mean, you're in school. You got to have a few beers. It was the end of the week and the stress levels were high. It was a fun place to go, you know. I don't know if you have the power to do this, but I miss the old K-Lair that was by Hagen Hall, which also isn't here. I don't know if you can pull any string. There's a new K-Lair, which is fine, but I miss the original, maybe the original of it. Those were good ones. If you had like a free day with no obligations, what do you think you would do in Lexington? Well, the first thing is I'm not setting an alarm clock. We all kind of get that, right? I won't set an alarm clock, and then I'll have a leisurely morning having

my coffee and reading the paper, and I like to work a puzzle. I mean a, you know, crossword puzzle. I do the New York Times mini every morning. Yeah. And, and, and, and, and I like that, And then I would probably have a friend or two or three and go out to brunch at one of my favorite places. Take a long walk. I like to walk in the Arboretum. Have you ever been over there? Of course. Yeah.

And just kind of puts around. Read a book. I might go to a movie. I love movies. I don't have a lot of time for them. But since I have a day off, compliments of you. Yeah, no obligations. It would be great that way.

And then I'd probably go out to dinner with my husband. We would not cook on a day off. Too many options right here. It's Keenland season. You mentioned you're busy and don't get days off, but do you get to enjoy Keenland? I do. I will be going in a day or two. I can't remember exactly when.

But I love Keenland. And, you know, Keenland, so when I grew up, I was growing up in Ohio. I'm an import a long time ago. And no one up there could understand why do you always talk about horses? because they're not horse country like we are. And it's very special. And Keenland has this beautiful new addition, which I can't wait to see. Plus, they give back big time to our community.

They give a ton of money to nonprofits and other entities. They're a real good community partner. But I love the racing, don't you? Oh, absolutely. It's very special. And whenever I go, I always like to go down to the rail, at least once and hear the snorting and the hoof beats as the horses come by. It's just very, it's really unique.

You're good at picking winners because I'm not. I can pick the last place horse anytime you want, but I don't do well at. Well, you have to look at the name. Of course. That's the only thing you look at, right? If there's a gray, you pick the gray. But I'm not very good at it. I just do it more on sentimental things that I like.

So it's good, though. It's really fun. You mentioned giving back to the community. I've told my listeners this week, I recently accepted a acting role at the Lexington Children's Theater. In fact, my costume fitting is right after the show. This is a big deal. And I saw in past performances, you were listed as one. Did you do that?

Do you have any tips? Any acting tips? I did that twice. Twice? Okay. Well, you're a pro. So I was in The Little Mermaid. And then before that, I was in Alice in Wonderland.

Okay. And that was really fun. That's where I met Jeremy Ashby, the chef. It's where I met Peter Baniak, who was a feral leader. Craig Kamak was in it. We had some fun times. And, you know, there was a little tea ceremony with a teapot. And it might have had some special bluegrass tea.

Oh, I hope I get some bluegrass tea and Romeo and Julia. Oh, is it Romeo and Julia? It is. Are you, Romeo? I did not get Romeo. I don't think I had the jaw structure to be Romeo. Who are you? I'm Count Paris.

I think I die. I think I'm going, I don't know that to be sure. He hasn't read his script yet. That was my next question. How prepared do I need to be for this? Well, not real prepared. Okay, good. But what you need to do is speak loudly, which you can do.

Okay. So everybody hears you. And then the bad thing was during Alice in Wonderland, a fella in the audience passed out. So the whole thing stopped. it kind of, you know, it was kind of bad. They had to get him out with EMS. And then we restarted the play. Wow.

Was it from the bluegrass tea? Did he have too much bluegrass tea? No, he was an observer. He was not in it. I tell you, you just have fun and you, you know, know, know, know a little bit about your lines. But I shouldn't say that. They probably want you to memorize it. Well, we had Lexington and actor Josh Hopkins on earlier in the week, and he told me I should already know my lines at

Because it's in two weeks. And he told me to bring out my drunus. And I don't really know what that means. But, you know, he's a Hollywood actor. So I actually like your advice better of, you'll be fine. Just have some of the teeth. It's a great thing. And, you know, knowing you're in that, I maybe ought to come see that.

Heckle from the audience, right? This could be the beginning of an acting career. I might join the other guys and just leave Billy here. You might love it. Speaking of the other guys, you've had fun on this show before. You've been very good to us. You named it Shannon the Dude Day when he did his 50-mile walk. We were proud of him.

And one of my favorites, you and the wrestler Kane. Oh, my gosh. Do you remember that? Of course I remember. I grew up watching wrestling, and there you are standing next to Kane, and you all had a bet. I forget. Did you? I forgot how.

I won. He had to put on a UK T-shirt. And, of course, we had to find one that would fit. He's about twice as tall as me, right? Oh, yeah. But that was fun. I won the bet, and he put on the t-shirt, and I'll never forget we've got a picture from the back. I'm standing beside him, and he's showing off his UK blue.

I was so happy. I'd have had a really hard time wearing that Tennessee. And you could take Kane if a fight broke out, too. Oh, yeah. Yeah. We got you. We had your back. Yeah.

I, you know, I would have to think about my technique. I used to, so you probably don't know, little known. I have a brown belt and karate. Taekwondo. Can we be in trouble, Billy. I could still do my roundabout kick. We're up against a hard break. I'd hate to get cut off.

But thank you for coming in today. Great to see you and be with you. We're going to keep talking about Lexington. For everyone listening at home, the keyword in this segment is universal. So write that down. We're doing it again. We're doing a game. But thank you again, Mayor.

We really appreciate it. I wish we could stay longer. We've got to take a quick break and Billy and I will be right back. Thanks, Drew. I am not Matt Jones. I will keep correcting that this week until I can get my own little bumper there, Billy. Maybe for next Drew Palooza. We can have that deep voice.

GM Billy is on it. Okay, good job. I will say, Billy, you feel like you're weighed down today. It looks like you're weighed down by some high interest debt. Oh. Well, if that's okay, maybe I miss getting a misread here. Maybe I miss reading you. But let's say you are.

What? That was fun having Mayor Gordon on. I wish we could have her a little longer. That hard break. waits for no one, but she had some meetings to get two stuff, a lot more important than us. But it is a fun time around Lexington with the 250th celebration going on. There's events all month, next month, all summer. Go to visit Lex.com to check it out.

She gave us these very cool 250 Lex pins. Yes. You wearing yours yet? No, not yet. I'll put it on, though. She is very nice. But I did feel like she was a little bit like your parent saying who their favorite kid is with the restaurants. Yeah, I was trying.

I was trying. Didn't want to say names, but. I understand that. You don't want to put anybody down. I thought about continuing to press her a little bit, but it was clear she didn't want to name specific restaurants, but it was fun hearing from her as we continued the Lexington celebration. Let's just talk a little Lexington before we get to the second hour when we get wacky and talk about golf and other things. We'll do a whole hour of Lexington. Billy, you know, you sponsor it's Alex, which I'm sure you love. I celebrated a birthday there a couple years ago.

I enjoyed it right here on the corner. We could walk and get lunch there today if you wanted. But let's say you and Marissa are going out, a place that doesn't pay you. What do you all like to do in Lexington? I know you haven't been here too many years, but you've been here long enough to get a feel for the place. Yeah, it's funny because the Tal X was our favorite restaurant before I ever sponsored it. So that's where we initially went. But I'm not saying that just because I'm a company man.

A couple other places that we've been to, I think there's some obvious ones when you go for fine dining like Jeff Rubies and Tonys. But like when you find like the Carcans when you come here and you find like a Ramsies maybe for like a lunch. I mean, I don't know. It's something with restaurants with the guy's name in it. I feel like that there's something to it there. So those are in my top three. Of course, you've partaking in those, right? I know you're a regular Jeff Rubies.

I'll pop in there from time to time. You're right about Carson's though. It's anytime anyone asks for suggestion, it's usually top of my list. Also, it helps that it's downtown. Most of the time people are asking me they're going to a game or something at Rupp. I usually steer them that direction. One off the grid that a lot of people, might not know about. I hope I'm not giving away too many secrets. What's that? If you're downtown,

near Rup, Buda Lounge. Have you been to Buda Lounge? No, I've never been to Buda Lounge. It's pretty good sushi over our Mill Street. Is it sushi? It is sushi. It's not that big of a place. So that right now I have friends that are probably mad at the radio that I'm giving away our secrets. Check out Buddha Lounge. Bouta Lounge. Also went to in that area. Again, the downtown restaurants here. This one just opened fairly recently. I went to a place called 310 the other day. It's on Short Street. Boul Buns? You like bow buns? I do, yes. Go get you some bow buns at 310.

See, I'm right now, not only the buzzwords of the day, but restaurants that I can check out in Lexington. Thanks for reminding me. Let's go ahead and get this buzzword. Do you want to give your buzzword now? Yeah, we want to make sure everybody's listening the whole time. This one is, I guess it's actually two words. White House. White House.

Okay. Don't say the other two. We can't be letting people know what they've been. You've got to listen the whole time. Wonder if there's a theme with these words. There could be. There could not be. If you haven't been able to tell this week, been a little chaotic.

My brain, I feel like it's going in a thousand places. So maybe these words are just what's popping in my head. So let's say Drew Franklin's getting a sandwich. You got like a deli spot or like a cheeseburger you really like in town. I never thought you'd ask. I'm going to try to go there before my costume fitting. Big Blue Deli right down the street. Have you been there yet?

I have. They had a Mario sandwich there for a limited time that I'd love to get some time. Main Street Deli is one that's right here around the city center. is another one that you should check out if you haven't. You know, we've had a sponsor on the pre-show in the past North Lime Coffee and Donuts, but also Spalding's has to be brought up if you're a bakery, donut type of guy in the morning, right? I'm going to pull a Mayor Gordon here. When it comes to Lexington Donuts, you can't make me say one's better than the other.

We have an incredible donut scene. Oh, wow. We have an incredible donut scene. Franks, Spaldings, North Lime, I already started naming them. I'm going to leave some out. The one that just opened by KS. Barr, Jeff's. I haven't been to that. I'm worried about my guy, Ryan.

He's going to Jeff's a little too often. I mean, it's at least once a week. He walks in with a bag in his hand, and he's got me an apple fritter. He's a big apple fritter to start the day. McDonald's, ice coffee. That's Ryan Lemon in a nutshell. You got your pizza spots? Pizza spots.

We're also overwhelmed by pizza. I mean, Linda mentioned Goodfellas. I think that's iconic, right? I mean... It's one of my good drinking spot, too, if you go to the one in the distillery district. The one that's got a little bit more going on. Yeah, not the OG over here. little one. Don't be drinking in there.

The hole in the wall? Yeah, just get your slice and go over there, especially late at night. We don't want any trouble. But one in distillery district's good. I find myself at a rolling oven over, they have several, but at Miritzwin, if you want to find me out, a good chance in there. It's pretty close to the house. Yeah, I think this is a chain, but I've been to, is it like red tomato or something like that? Smashing tomato. Also by my house. Yeah. Got a lot of pizza by my house. You got a lot of restaurant. Linda was right. I mean, this is a, Oh, we're great. Great scene for food.

Yeah, of course, KS Bar. Got to go to KS Bar, especially if you're going to a game. Come on. Can we include Proud Mary barbecue in that list? I know it's a little outside of town, but they've been underwater. Yes. I feel like. I feel terrible for Proud Mary.

I go there every Labor Day, no Memorial Day. I get those backwards, which is the one in September. I don't know. Labor Day? No, really. They're bad underwater right now, on a serious note, hope things straighten out there. I have a proud Mary story. I wasn't going to say, but since you brought it up, I'm not proud of this.

I walked out on a tab there last fall. Me and my dad and my wife, we went every labor slash memorial day, whichever it is. They have a Jimmy Buffett party with the Conquer Public. Oh, so your dad was just... They got multiple bars, and I had like a tab at this bar where we ate lunch because we got there early in eight, but then the party moves downstairs. So I'm getting some margs over at this bar. We had a good time.

We'll leave it with that. But then I get home and I look at my credit card. statement and there was just like one charge from Proud Mary's for like $30. And I'm like, ooh, I did a lot more than $30. But being the kindhearted, responsible, honest person I am, I spent the next two weeks trying to get someone on the phone and I finally just went down there and said, I owe you all money and they found the tab that I walked out on and I paid it. But got a good connection there.

I always have a good time there and I hope they get things straightened up. You're a good man. And it was not intentional. It was, oh, it's definitely not intentional. We were singing Cheeseburger in Paradise. You know, things got a little blurry. I just forgot to close out. But if you've ever accidentally walked out on the tab,

hopefully you've never done it intentionally, you should always make good on that because, you know, the person needed a tip. I didn't at the time had a tip there. I had to make up for my tip. Be good to your restaurants. Let me give you another category. Yeah.

Because you are the one that comes in last after a night out. What's the bar seen like? Give me a couple bars that Drew would hit on a normal. Well, I mentioned mirror twin. Mm-hmm. There's a new country boy popping up over by me. It's going to put... Another country boy location in Lexington?

Yeah. Breaking news, Waniana nah. They put it on social media yesterday. It's like this huge facility. I was driving to the show and saw a country boy logo on the side of this new building. And I texted D.H. right away, what the hell is this? But it's pickleball, golf simulators, and a country boy tap room. What?

Yeah. That's really all I know right now, other than the fact that I'm going to live there when it opens. Talk about another company that's growing. They opened a tap room in Louisville. another location in Lexington. Can't go wrong with Country Boy. Also, I like old Tommy bars. Okay.

When I go to New York, I always go to McSorley's. It's the oldest bar in New York. It's been there since like 1850. We don't have one that old, but Chevy Chase in. Chaysin has got to be close. I was there to watch the Final Four. It's been there since 1933. They do fun things like a Pappy Van Winkle.

It'll give it away, but you can get one pour for like costs, so it's just a few bucks. There's been horses in there. You ever been to a bar and do rides a horse in and orders a bar? In the bar? I don't think they've done that recently, but there are pictures of a dude just on a horse, bellied up against the bar trying to get a drink. Well, if anywhere. I mean, Lexington, Kentucky, right?

Charlie Browns is around that area. Right across the street. For a bar. Get the white Russians. Harvey's at the Grove is right down here. I think that's kind of a hole in the wall spot that not a lot of people know. I have a CCI story since you set me up for it, Chevy Chesa. I was going to tell.

When I was there watching the final full. I met some women there whose father had just passed away there. They're paying tribute to him. He was a CCI legend. And in talking to them, I learned that he is actually just a Lexington legend and maybe one of the bigger legends of all time. I'm going to tell you quickly because they send me a lot of information. I'm going to just try to get the important stuff.

Let me tell you about Charlie Chalkai-Cornet. Chalkai, Cornett. He passed away a few weeks ago at 92 years old. He'd be, even at 92, he would be in CCI. But his daughter stood out. They had homemade Houston hats with like duct tape that said Houston on them over whatever was on there. He must hate Duke so much. They made Houston hats.

But in meeting them, I learned so much about this guy. He was an Ashland Tomcat, played two sports there. Then he went to the Navy. And while I was in the Navy, he grew four inches playing basketball on the aircraft carrier team. So he's out there just ball and taking people to school while serving in the Navy. Like Anthony Davis, just growing. Yes. He is the Anthony Davis of the Navy is what they actually call.

He comes back to Kentucky on the GI Bill, and then he just starts schooling the Fiddling 5, whatever is the equivalent of the J.C. back then, just, you know, scrimmaging the guys that are on the Fiddling 5. He's just working them left and right. And UK assistant, Harry Lancaster even said, where the hell to this guy come from and told him to come back to play on varsity? Said dress for varsity, we need you.

But they only had a walk-on spot, and he was pretty broke, and he couldn't afford what it would take to be a basketball player on his own dime. I think they said a lot of it was going. hungry. He couldn't keep the weight. But Rupp offered him a walk-on spot twice. He was that good. Never really got to follow through it other than a few weeks here and there. Now, this part of the story is confirmed by Jim Host, Mr. Jim Host and Ralph Hacker. Wow. If you can't believe Mr. Jim Host and Ralph Hacker, what are we doing? Some big names confirming what's about to come next. This isn't Drew Franklin telling you this. This is through family, through lore, through Mr.

Jim Host and Ralph Hacker. After school, he was still a... UK fans still lived in Lexon. Was that Chevy Chase in all the time? But in 1983, Indiana came to town to Rupp. We hate the Hoosiers, right? I hate the Hoosiers. Well, Chalk and his buddies got a suite at the Hyatt, right there by Rupp. And they quickly learned that Bob Knight was in the suite beneath him.

So they partied all night long, playing beach music, stomping, making all the noise they could. Oh, no. To distract Bob Knight. And this gets better. Bob steps out on his balcony to have a sick. late night sick. I'm sure he's nervous playing the cats the next day. Chalk had to break the seal. So let's just say chalk off his balcony above Bob Knight on his balcony.

What? Went to the restroom outdoors off the side of his balcony with Bob Knight beneath them. Again, this is confirmed. This isn't me making things up for radio. But Bob Knight, you know, I don't know if Bob got that much sleep that night. I don't know if he had to shower. I don't know what kind of contact was made in that situation. but things like that don't happen anymore.

Bob Knight catching a stream from old chalk eye, a floor below at the Hyatt before the game the next day. So there you go. Next day, Kentucky won 59 to 54. Eat it Bob Knight. And the cat's got the way. And RIP to chalk. Actually, he did a, it's topical as I'm looking at the Masters on TV.

He had a Thursday master's party at his house every year. If I'm not mistaken, I wasn't there yesterday, but I think Chevy Chase Inn did the first annual Chalks Memorial Chili Dog Party yesterday. for the master. A chili dog party in your memory. I can't think of nothing more that I would want. Now there's a scholarship in his name for underprivileged students from Eastern Kentucky like he was. So I wanted to shout out chalk there after meeting his daughters at CCI. They gave me a bumper sticker that said, I think it says, I got drunk with chalk or I drank with chalk. There's a big

poster of them in there. But to answer your question about a good drinking spot, if you're not from Lexington and want kind of some Lexington history, you should pop into CCI. Sounds like a Lexington legend. Yeah. How about that? Yeah. Could you imagine someone doing at the Hyatt with like Todd Golden on the balcony beneath them. Now, I can definitely see the upstairs neighbor behavior. I mean, we've heard of fire alarms being pulled and antics to get people to stay awake during the night before, but the stream from a floor above, that is legendary stuff. Also, being offered a walk-on spot twice for Fiddling 5, but just, no, I'll just sit here

and work them in the campus, whatever the gym was back then. Zach Tal before Zach Tal. There you go. Maybe Zach Tao has that future. Yeah. We'll come back with a little more Lexington. Billy's got a game for us. We got people doing Chalk's move at the Masters into a creek.

Well, we don't condone that, but we'll 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. 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 Slicelife Life 12. and the TikTok podcast network on TikTok. What's up, guys? This is Clever Taylor the 4th. And on my podcast, The Clivert 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? Quarterback on office blue with 42. Hey, rep, my mama want you to wave at her. What?

What? Where's he at? Hey, Miss Parker. Listen to the Cliffer Show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano,

and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows without Luca and Austin. Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs.

I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing.

That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball like, after you go through a training camp with that Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover, and a Gen X woman walking through life one hot flash and hormonal crying jag at a time. You ladies know what I mean. I'll bet you a paramedeposal chin here you do.

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

Wait, what sex? Dating at 45. How can it be getting naked at 50 with the new guy? That one's kind of hard. Well, that's lighting. They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears, or tears of laughter, and dive into it, unfiltered and unbothered and ask, How Hard Can It Be?

I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public. Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva as part of My Cultura Podcast Network available on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to KSR, Drew Franklin with Billy Rullage on our last day alone. where everyone comes back. Most everyone. Matt will have another week, but we'll have Ryan and Shannon back. Ronald Drive the show next week. Today we're celebrating Lexington turning 250 this year. Love me some Lexington. Here in a couple months, I will have lived in Lexington more than I

lived in Madisonville, which feels weird. Is that right? I guess Lexington has become home. My parents moved here. I've been here almost 20 years. It's right around the corner. Yeah, and you've had some great memories, right? I mean, you've gotten married in this town and I have ripped your pants in this town. My pants in this town. I mean. Which time are you referring to? Well, I know of the one time. It's music month in Lexington.

A lot going on. Could be part of the game we're playing. I don't know. Wink, wink. Do we have their buzzword? Do you want to share it? Do we drop it now? The fourth buzzword will be giving away a little bit if you don't already know.

So I'll save it for the end of the segment. Don't let me forget that. I won't let you. I won't let you forget. But a lot of music things going on to Lexington. Visit Lex. Check it out. Let's do some notable Lexingtonians.

In fact, in Googling Lexington and athletes, because I didn't want to miss any. I found a KSR post from five years ago called Ryan Lemon's Top Lexington Athletes. No way. And I thought, what? Why am I looking anywhere else if Ryan Lemon has already done the show prep for me? Ryan Lemon, who is on a six margarita in Panama City right now,

did show prep for us today several years ago. So we're just going to trust his top five. Yes. If we forget anyone out there, yell at Ryan. I'm just reading straight from Ryan's list. Okay. I did mix up his order, though, just because, you know, I wasn't sure if he listed them.

like as an actual ranking, wasn't clear. But I'm just going to start with our dear friend, Jack Givens. In no order. In no order. Jack Givens. Great start. Got to be on the list. Of course.

Brian Station High School. Goose was golden. Goose is golden. 41 points in 1978. Eat it Duke. Now killing it. Now killing it. Do you get to have many interactions with Jack?

I know. Oh yeah. A lot. I've had him on the pre-show a couple times. Just such a genuine guy. You know, I talked to him in pre-and-post game as well. He's always helping with doing the segment with Andrew Capus and stuff.

We'll always give you the time of day, and he's also a golf coach. I think he's a coach at a high school. Let's go golf with Jackson time. Set that up, Billy. That's what I'm saying. Also, Brian Station, Dermody Dawson, pro football Hall of Fame, seven-time NFL pro bowler. He's in the Steelers Ring of Honor in the NFL all-decade team in the 1990s,

maybe one of the best offensive linemen to ever play in the NFL, right here at Lexingtonian. Quite an impressive list so far. You've given me two strong names. Well, Ryan has given you the two names. just reading them. That's true. Ryan is doing this. Tyson Gay, Lafayette High School, second fastest man ever, fastest American in the 100 meters, 9.69 seconds. Only Usain Bolt was faster. Did not know he was from Lexington. Oh yeah. That's as Ryan notes in his notes here, second fastest man alive. I don't think he ever got the gold medal, but won gold

in the Olympics, but in several other events, world championships, holly, holly decorated track and field star. You dedicate your life to this craft and you just happen to be at the same time that bolts running and he takes all your records. Fastest American, we'll call him that. Fastest Lexingtonian. John T-bone Shelby, Henry Clay, two-time World Series champ, one won one is an Oriole and one is a Dodger in the 80s. At least one of his sons went on to play for UK, but a baseball legend here. I think Ryan might even have him first being a baseball. Well, that's a Ryan Lemon ranking then, and cool to win with two different teams. That's impressive. That's right. And Ryan's last one is Frank Minifield from Henry Clay, played college football at Louisville.

made four NFL Pro Bowls and the 1980s all-decade team defensive back. So other than going to Louisville, we'll let that slide, but another football legend from here in Lexington. Pretty good list. A lot of professional success with the athletes listed. Absolutely. How about since it's music month?

You want to do some musicians? Yes, we'd love to. Not one, but two Backstreet Boys. There's two Backstreet Boys. Show me another city that had two Backstreet Boys born in one of the hospitals. Not mathematically possible. Kevin Richardson, friend of the program. He went to Estill County High School, and I did thorough research to make sure he was born in Lexington.

And the Internet seems pretty clear. He's Lexington-born, even though he didn't go to school here. Okay. So we're going to claim him. We're going to claim Kevin. And his cousin, Brian Latrell, went to Tate's Creek. Kevin even called Brian's like, hey, we had a spot open in Backstreet Boys. Get out here.

It's going to be awesome. And that, of course, worked out. So two Backstreet Boys. And then another friend of the program who's been on this show, Chris Kale, the bassist for five-finger Death Punch went to Lafayette. Wow. talk about a completely different genre but yes oh i just realized i got to do my buzzword let me scroll okay don't forget your buzzwords i think it's going to give it away last buzzword you got to know all four to call in in the second hour yor uresteri n so we had well almost read them all not read them all

write that one down if you've been listened since the beginning you should have all four buzzwords and we'll tell you how you can enter to win this contest for now we'll take another break billy and i will be right back with maybe more lexid but definitely more on the masters the Hayden Lewis, news around BBN, as we enjoy the last day of Drew Palooza. This is Drew and Billy, downtown Lexington in our studio. We'll be right back. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smigel and friends.
