It is also Wings Day, Dollar Wings all day and night.

Trivia here tonight. So a lot of stuff going on across the universe. Also KSR Bowling tonight. Yes, first night of the Summer League. KSR Bowling League starts tonight. You can go to the Collins Bowling Center, and I will not be there tonight because I have to run out of town, but Ryan will, and I'll try to be there next week,

and I hope to have a guest with me as well. Brandon Garrison will be on the show tomorrow. One of the very few times we've been able to have a player, on the show while he's a player at UK, but he will be on the show tomorrow as well. So we're going to be in studio tomorrow because we have to have a garrison and UK will not let them come in here, which is ridiculous, but thank you, JMI. We will nevertheless be able to have him on. It's BG Time on KSR.

I love BG time. So that'll be tomorrow. Tay Kenny, he is the point guard from Newport. Mark Pope is doing an in-home visit now. Hey, Tay, shouldn't you be in school? But nevertheless, they are in his house. And you said this kid is great. He's a superstar.

He'll be in the 2026 class. He's a junior to be a senior. He led Newport to the All-A state title, got him to the Sweet 16. He's been here at this restaurant before they played. He twisted his ankle. But you say, you think he's like elite elite elite. Yeah, he played this past year at one of these overtime elite schools. Was that who it was?

He's the third ranked point guard in the whole class. He's top 20 players. He's legit. I mean, the guy can play, man. So, yeah, that's a good get of Pope can get real him in. All right, so we're going to do a little game here. Shannon, get your pin out. You ready to go?

All right, let's go. Here we go. We're going to do, I'm going to do this today for Cal Perry, then we're going to do it for Tubby, then we're going to do it for Petino, and then for our old timers, we're going to do it for haul and rub one day. But we're going to start with Cali. We are going to draft our Cali Perry basketball team. Nice.

You have to pick five players and two reserves. You have to play them. as a team, right? So, like, you need to make sure you have it to, you can't use, like, Deeran Fox is the center. Like, you got to have them as a team. And we'll do all four of these. We'll go in different orders of who goes first.

I'm going to go first on the Cal team, but then, like, for the Patino team, you'll go first. Okay. And it's a snake draft. So, like, Shannon, you're going to go last, but you'll get the fourth and the fifth pick. All right. Okay, does that make sense?

One question. Is it just how they play to Kentucky? Like, for Booker. It's only how they play. played at Kentucky. Gotcha. It's not about how they played in the pros. So you're picking how they played at Kentucky,

and then I'm going to write the teams down, and then people can at home vote for who they think had the best team. Are you ready to go? I'm going to go first. I'm going to take, I mean, if I'm going first, I have to take Anthony Davis. So I have Anthony Davis, Ryan, who are you picking? You can go any position?

I'll go John Wall. John Wall. So Ryan's point guard is going to be where John Wall. Now, Drew, this is where it gets, most people could pick those two. This is where it gets a little spicy, who you take in at number three. It's tough because I was going to go wall. I'm going to go. Just how they did it in Kentucky.

Yeah. DeMarcus. DeMarcus. I like that pick, actually. We have a lot of depth at other positions, not as much depth at the big. There's a lot of guards. I like DeMarg. Shannon, you get two.

Who you got? Carl Anthony Towns. Towns. Then I'll go Devin Booker. Oh, so you're taking Booker, though, for his UK time, where he was a bench player. Oh, that's right. You already take it. You already took it.

The envelope was open. The commissioner read it. All right, Drew, who you got? I will go, uh, I'm torn between. You got to go. Tyler, you're taking too long. I don't have to think of who you all said. We had no time to prepare for this either.

Well, you know what? That's okay. What a help. Tyler, that's part of what makes it exciting is you don't know where you got Tyler U.S. Go for it. I got to get a big guy. You guys are taking the good big guys.

I'm going to take Willie Colley Stein. You're going to take Willie Colley Stine. So now we have all of our centers. So you took Willie Colley Stein. I get two picks here. You know, there's a lot of different ways you can go here. But I'm going to take, if we're talking about his performance at UK, I'm going to take Jamal Murray as my two guard.

And I'm going to go with a three guard lineup, and I'm taking Malik Monk. Damn it! As well. So I've got Murray and Monk. Who you got? See, that's where I was going to get one of those two guys. You took them both. I guess.

That's why I'm a good draft. Yeah. I need to get a shooter, too. I'll take, I've got to take Duran Lamb before you get it. Get out of here with him. You're taking Duran Lamb with the third round pick. Yeah, because you took the other shooters. I'm taking Lamb.

Duran Lam. Who you got? Julius Randall. I like that pick. I'm getting my front court out of the way. Let me say something. You got two dudes who will fight you with Julius Randle. Don't let a fight break.

And UlyS. All right, Shannon. We're fighting everybody. Well, you really are a fighting team. And you get two. Who you got? Let's see. Give me...

Give me BAM. BAM out of bio. Bam. Okay. And Shay Gilder's Alexander. SGA. I like your team. Your team looks good.

All right. Drew, who you got? You still need a basically a two and a three. I'm going to go manual quickly. That's a sneaky game. And I'm loving my team right now. I'm loving my team. If he had fallen to me, I was taking.

quickly to put him off the bench but go ahead who you got i'm going to go uh eric bledso eric bledso yeah all right that's the first pick of yours that i'm not uh not on board with all right i need a point guard yeah you guys have taken a bunch but i like my point guard if i've already got monk then i got to get fox oh yeah right have fox and monk in there do you love that yep and i think it power forward in the Cal era. You know, I kind of think I'm going to have the real T Jones to teach a man. Kentucky. It's a good pick.

Yes. So T. Jones is on my team. All right, Ryan, you need a power forward or two bench players. And, again, you took my pick. I guess I'll take Patrick Patterson. Okay, I like it. You got Patrick Patterson. Drew, you need a three-man.

I love it. I can't believe he fell to me. Michael Kid Gilchrist, and I love my team. Absolutely love my team. Wow. You do have an interesting team. It's not. So, Shannon, you need a two guard and bench players.

So you get two. Who you got? Let me go, has anybody picked up Teague yet? Teague? So Teague's coming off the bench, then. You need a shooting guard. I don't know who's left. Does anybody pick Bledsoe?

Yes. Can I put, we picked Eulus, right? Yes. Did you not write these down as we went? No. Okay, can I give you, I could give you a hint. Don't be giving away my pick. But I'm not going to give you a hint. So Murray's been picked.

Who's been a good shooter that Cal had? Give me a shooter. Can I take Tyler Hero? You can take Tyler Hero. Okay, see, he takes Hero and T. Drew, who you got? I need a guard. I got a lot of defense, a lot of fight. I love Brandon Knight as a combo guard that can come in. Getting Brandon Knight off your bitch is a pretty huge play.

I'm going to destroy your all's teams. What about you? Who you got? I'm going to take Antonio Reeves. Ah, that's who I was going to take. I was ready to take Reeves. All right, I get two for my bench. This is easy.

I'm going Reed Shepard and Oscar Sheeby. Oscar was my next one. Reed and Oscar. My team is absolutely loaded, just so you can hear. Fox, Murray, Monk, T. Jones, Anthony Davis, Reed Shepard, and Oscar Sheebway. Get out of my way. You get out of my way. You get one more bench player.

It can be any position. I'm guard heavy already, but I'm leaning toward taking another guard. We're doing what they did at Kentucky. I'm going to go. There's one really good player, I think, that has actually two really good players that I haven't been picked. I'll take Aaron Harrison. Aaron Harrison.

Okay, so your final team is Wal-Lam, Bledso, Patterson, Willie Reeves, Aaron. Your team stinks. All right, Drew, who you got? said which one? Aaron Harris. I'm conflicted here. I'm down to two, but I think I need leadership, I need a captain, and I'm going Patrick Patterson. He's already been picked.

Damn. Tyrese Maxie. I like Maxie. That's a good pick, and Shannon, you get the final one. Reed Shepherd. Already picked Reed Shepherd. I don't think Shannon's paying attention to this at all. He's now picked four people.

I haven't written anything down, and I'm taking phone calls amongst all this going on, too. Get one. God, I don't even know. Oscar's been picked. I don't need anybody else. I'm going to run what I got. You need somebody else. Can I just give you one since you're not really paying attention?

What do you got? PJ Washington. How about that? He's still got an injured hand. We haven't seen him. Sure, I don't care. You got PJ Washington. Last thing.

Cal's coaching all these teams, which means we're going to have some problems. So we also have to pick an assistant coach. I'm going to need X and O's. I'm taking Robic. No. Who you got? Who you got? Oh, my.

Oh, my. I guess I'll take Orlando. Orlando. All right, who you got? Oh, man, you took my two favorites. I'm going to go Chin Coleman. You thought about Kenny, but he went to Louisville. You're going Chin Colby.

Yeah. I think Chin can get these guys ready. He's going to be your assistant. Give me a bruiser. No, you know what? No, no, no, no. I want to change it. I want to change it.

I want Brad Calipari. Yeah. Yeah. That's who I want. The father-son combo. You know, it's very disrespectful that nobody picks slice. He was in consideration. So there you go.

So we will make this into a video with the picks. There's our team. I think Drew's got a good squad. I think I got a good squad. Shannon third and Ryan, I think your squad. Somehow you ended up with Wall and still ended up with a terrible team. Yeah, I'm not happy with my big guys. Cooley, Collie, and Pack.

Patrick Patterson, my only two big guys. No, you're shooting. Bledso's your three, so you can't really shoot. You got blood so early, and I love blood so, but I feel like he got off the board pretty quickly. I will say Antonio Reeves and Oscar Sheedway going so late. That's true. Is it pretty amazing. Don't play St. Peters.

That's right. Who's up next? Wayne. Wayne, go ahead, Wayne. Hey, I was going to talk about those bad cats last night. Okay, go for it. Let's go for it. Well, I mean, they run rule on Louisville.

I mean, you know, I never was much of a baseball fan, but I kind of got into them last year in the World Series. And this year, I'm a Uber driver since I kind of semi-retired. I've been listening to them on the radio. I mean, I enjoy it more than I would have ever thought listening to baseball. Well, UK baseball. And I need to say one thing about your pickleball things, the stupid pickleball. In Woodford County, they had two basketball courts at Falling Springs. for the kids to play with outside.

You know what the hell they turned them into? Let me guess. Pickleball. Pickleball, court. Okay, all right. Well, they shouldn't have done that. The county have nowhere to play basketball outside. So the pickleball.

I appreciate the call. I'm with you. Pickle ball's taken over the world, unfortunately. UK baseball beats Louisville last night, 17 to 5. 17 to 5. They were, they run-ruled them. The game ended after, what, six innings? Yeah, run-rolled them last night.

It still took six and a half hours to play. It was so long. But now, you know, a week ago, Kentucky was kind of on the bubble. They win the series at Tennessee. They beat a ranked Louisville team. I was reading today, like, not only are they this moment in the tournament, they said if we win these last few series, we could host. And we play two not-so-great teams coming up the next week.

So, Drew, this UK baseball team, which has lost so. many close games has a chance now to actually make something happen. Yeah, last night was so fun, especially coming off the Tennessee series. You beat your rivals back to back within a week. I know the fifth inning was a lot of fun when they scored seven runs, but I loved in the second inning. They're two outs. Guy has a routine fly ball to center field for Louisville, and he just completely blows it and

brings in a bunch of runs. It was just so fun watching the cards after they talk so much trash, just get absolutely annihilated in there. Yeah, Picking staff really seems to be kind of, you know, their stride right now. The bullpen's throwing well, so you can't count them out. It took them a while to get there, but they're playing great baseball right now. Big win against Louisville, when you're 17 to 5.

And they play at home this weekend against South Carolina, I think, and I don't think South Carolina is very good. If the weather's good this weekend, we should get some good crowds. And part of the record being what it is, is they played something like 10 straight opponents that were in the top 12. I mean, the schedule was brutal early in SEC play, and now you get a little bit of teams. It opens up a little bit now. So it's just been as strong. Yeah.

859-280-2287 cornbread hemp. They have their new cornbread hemp drinks. I got them for free. Ryan had to pay for it. But you go to cornbread hemp.com. The promo code is KSR. They'll mail them to your house. You can get it mailed to your house.

Or they have them at the liquor barn. Yeah. The flavors watermelon, peach tea, blueberry breeze. It's cornbreadhemp.com. Their new product. And I'm going to try it this weekend. because I have a free weekend. It seems like a good time.

I fully endorsed the salted watermelon. It's the only one I've tried, but it's very good. Cornbreadhemp.com. Promococke. We'll take a break. Be right back, Kentucky Sports Radio. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind.

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

What's up, guys? This is Clivert Taylor the 4th. And on my podcast, The Cliverts show, I'm bringing you conversations about all kinds of stuff. Like being an internet famous referee. We're in the middle of a game. This linebacker walks up to me. He goes, hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her.

What? Time out. Quarterback on office blue with 42. A rep, mom, I'm a one. want you to wave at her. What? Where's she at? Hey, Miss Parker.

Listen to the Cliverts show on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcast, 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 defining the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what.

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

Like, you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Ask Anything Wednesday. A couple open lines. 859-280-2287. Don't make me go to Bob and Jamestown right now. I heard he didn't call while I was gone I didn't hear from him but I expected it I even had a bit planned with him

so he like only calls when I'm here well you guys have a special bond that you know trying to welcome you back to the radio airways I guess so somebody writes on text machine Matt which players were not picked that you think are most egregious left off junior Nick Richards he was if we were going three deep on the bench

he was my pick Richard's is being left off Rob Dillingham Dillingham, being left off. And then I think probably the most egregious would be Nirlins. Yep, nobody got him. No one got Nirlins. I mean, Nirlins, people forget because he got hurt. But Nirlins was a stud.

You can't have a guy like that under the team. You got to be careful about injuries. Yeah. Other ones, maybe Alex Poitris, Andrew Harrison would be a good backup point guard for one of the teams. I completely forgot about Nirlins. You know, he does get, not just him, but that whole team kind of gets forgotten because of what happened. Yeah. Anybody else you could think of that you would say?

Archie Goodwin, Keldon Johnson. Kelton Johnson's a good one. I think Archie would shoot the team. Archie's going to shoot all the time, no matter who else is on the team or not. Kelton Johnson is actually a very good one. It would have been a good wing. I was thinking in Erland's whole time, but I was already too big. The assistants I'm trying to wreck go through my brain.

Maybe John Welch would have been a good one? Riley Welch. Riley Welch is now. Did you see Riley Welch was hired as an assistant with Jay Lucas? Really? He was hired as one of Jay Lucas's assistant. I didn't see that. Good for him.

At Miami. 859-280-2287. I don't know if you know this, Ryan. There's going to be a big Senate race. They were replacing Mitch McConnell in 2026. Did you know that? I knew that. And so, you know, the candidates are starting to line up.

There's Daniel Cameron, who ran for governor and lost. There's Nate Morris, who I think is emboised him in. And now is running. politics. Yeah. And then yesterday, Andy Barr, the congressman here from Lexington is getting in. Andy has been a congressman for 20 years, and he's given up his seat to go run for Senate, which means his seat.

The Lexington congressional seat is open. And a lot of people out there saying Ryan Limon would be a good candidate for the congressional seat in Lexington. Have you thought about it? I know my political aspirations are still down the road. I've still got a lot of radio to do and, you know, some shableness. shenanigans that I probably couldn't do if I'm in office. But if you were to run for Congress,

just out of the, let's say, you know, remember many years ago I got a call saying, would you like to run for Congress? Let's say you were to get this call. Phone rings. Ryan Lemon, we would like you to run for Congress. First of all, which party's calling it? Is it going to be the Democrat?

Probably Democratic Party. The Democratic Party's going to call you. And they're going to say, all right, Ryan, would you be interested? What would you say to them? How much to pay? That's my first question. How much does it pay?

Yeah. That's going to be your first question. You're not the sorry. How much does it pay? I mean, I don't know what it pays. I bet it's enough. What do we think it is? I actually don't know what they pay.

I bet it's like a hundred. I was going to say 125. I'm going to say 160. What do you think, Shannon? That's probably about right. I was going to say about 150. All right. What do you think, Drew?

Yeah, I was in the 125, 150. So what is it? What is it? Anybody look it up? I can look it up. All right, look it up and see. Okay, so you're going to ask how much it pays. Yeah.

Then what else are you going to ask? They're going to say, what are your positions? So give us a position that you would base your campaign on. I'm a point guard and a center fielder. Those are my positions. No, I would say, okay, who's going to handle my fundraising? Because I have a hard time doing that. That's still not a position.

Okay, so the question is, what are your positions going to be on issues? Well, improving traffic on Nicholasville Road. Okay, that's not really a federal congressional issue. that's more of a mayor's issue. So that really wouldn't affect in this campaign. Middle school athletic rules. Education is more of a state issue, so we still haven't gotten anything

that would have anything to do with Congress. Am I just the Lexington area or am I in the entire Central Kentucky area? It's like eight or ten counties. So you go to like, you know, Jackson County, Scott County, Woodford. It's like it's that kind of area. I would be for a lot of pro-lexington stuff, and I hope that might not.

So you're anti the rest of the category? I don't want to tick them off, but I would definitely be trying to improve Lexington. We need another arena downtown for like indoor football and ice hockey. Indoor football. Yeah. He's going to bring the horsemen back. I miss the horseman. So your congressional campaign is going to be based on indoor football?

My opening campaign, let's bring the horseman back and the thorough blades to follow. You might have me with the thorough blades. So what would you do for, say, Woodford County? Like we got Versailles, what are you going to do for them? Well, I would probably have Freddie on my staff, and Freddie knows more about what's going on Versailles in Woodford County, and he can kind of help me. Okay, what about Scott County?

What are you going to do for them? First, you've got to apologize for your comments to Scott County. No, I'm in Scott County every single day now because Yoga Girl lives up there. I become a big Georgetown proponent, and I love that city. It's kind of booming. It's growing. They've built two new high schools in last couple years. So what are you going to do for? I'm going to pat him on the back and say,

keep up the good work, kids. You're doing a great job. You don't need to me to mess it up. at this point, Shannon, they're going to go on to their next candidate on the list of who they think would be. I think we've already heard enough. I think we... It's like to move on to somebody else. After that debate when they were like, all right, Joe Biden, it was fun.

It's time for you to step down. I think they would do that. How much they made? I found your answer. This is according to Ballotpedia.com. So I guess we're going to trust it. It says 174,000 it was Andy Barr's base salary. Can I give you a controversial take?

Yeah. I actually think we should pay the. those people more. Would you like to know why? Please. Because if you don't pay them a significant amount of money, you're only going to have millionaires do it. Yeah.

Or people who like, it's really going to be mostly millionaires. Because they spend a lot of that money on campaigning, et cetera. Like unless you do it to where people can like, they're less likely to. I would raise the price, but then put a cap on how long you can do it. Yeah. You see it like a term limit. Well, that's going to be coming now that McConnell stepped down. Do you think that's coming for Kentucky?

What? A term limit? No. It has to be federal legislation. Oh, okay. I thought it was Kentucky you could do that. You're really going to have to brush up on the basics of government. I want to ask you a serious question.

I mean, all joking aside, they're going to come after and ask you. Yeah. Well, they already have, but I'm not doing that. Yeah. I would never do Congress. Like the House. It's too boring. I mean, you're one of like 400.

135 people, and you have to do what the majority... I couldn't do that. I couldn't do it. I feel like it too. That's boring. Yeah. Well, and you, I don't know if you would be good at it, because you don't know what the government does.

I'm still, you know, Lexington City Mayor. That's my goal in life. Yeah. But remember, your standard was you wanted to demolish all the businesses on Nicholasville Road, which I think is going to be a very controversial position as a mayor to get rid of all the businesses on Nicholasville Road. That would include the new long John Silver's. You're just going to tear it down before it's built.

If there's a new long johnson. Yes. Big news. Biggest news while you were gone. Where's that? Nicholsville Road. Where? I don't know the exact spot off the top of my head.

Is that that building they're putting in front of the I hop? There's like a restaurant going in front of the IHop. Oh, I didn't think it was there. I thought it was down past Branden Crossing where all that developments going on down there. I didn't know that I didn't even know they were allowed new Long John Silver's. I thought there hadn't been a Long John Silver's built since like 1981. That's why it's big news. It's coming back.

Wow. Big deal. I do like Long John Silver's. Yeah. I mean, it's, your arteries clog on impact. Great hush puppies. Yeah, we'll take a break. Be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. T.J.

By the way, one of the things we didn't talk about at the beginning of the show with the portal is that Otega Oway did not enter it. True, which I actually think is very important because if he comes back, like he's not going to be looking at another school, there were schools that wanted him to. I think he would have gotten a number that is a massive number from at least one school in conference,

who I think was ready to make him their centerpiece, and he has decided not to do that. So that's a small piece of news that we really didn't talk about a lot is that, which I think is really good. Yeah, you see a lot of guys enter the draft and the portal, but he didn't make that step. At this point, I would be very surprised if he's not on the team next year. I think everyone's counting on that.

Yeah, he's going to be back. He's going to be back, and I think he'll be great. Kevin Knox is another guy we didn't pick. Kevin Knox, because his pro career didn't work out. We forget he was really good here at Kentucky. For most of that season, he was better than Shea. Shee maybe passed him at the end, but Knox was the main player on that team. That team ended up with, like, what, six or seven guys that ended up playing in the NBA,

that Kevin Knox, Shee Gilded Gilded's winning Gabriel group. I was prepared to take Darius Miller off from my bench, too, if I needed to. Yeah, nobody mentioned Darius Miller. That's true. I didn't really need a wing, but he was in consideration. That would be a good leadership player as well. Did anyone get BAM? Yeah, she got him. She and he got BAM.

859-28027. Who's up next? Bob and Jamestown. There are you. Good. Welcome back. Hey, Bob. How are you?

I'm doing okay, man. Since the Reds drop, Valley, sports on their broadcast. I've got one of those TV boxes. Do you know what? I know they want. It's a description thing now with the team. I don't know.

I can't answer what channel the game is on in Jamestown. I don't know, to be honest with you. I'm talking about it on the Superbox on TV Superbox. I don't know what TV Superbox is. What is TV Superbox? I don't know what that is, Bob. How would I know what channel? on it's an electronic device you hook up to your TV and you can get 4,000 channels all right well I don't

know what it is to answer your question no I don't know what you don't know what the Rebs subscription channel is you only particularly I don't know what TV super box is I'm talking about the local media box you just go to major league baseball and they're all there it's not hard it's it's all right there in front of you there we go I think I'm LB appreciate the call you know See, Shannon, this is what I'm saying. Like, TV Superbox? It's within the rules of Ask Anything, though.

That is true. There's a question. You help him with his TV God. Help me find the Reds on my Superbox. You know what? If you would like to just call, and I'll tell you what channel things are on. Check your local lists.

Yes. Speaking of channels, one person writes on the text machine, Matt, you guys do a good job of recommending TV shows. They're new TV shows for me and my wife. I have two. Okay. Really like on Apple TV, The Studio. It's with Seth Rogan, and it's basically making fun of Hollywood and stuff,

but it's really well done, looks good. I think it's really well written. Double thumbs up on that show. And then a show that I watched the first episode, wasn't sure I was in, because I was traveling before I would go to sleep, I didn't watch it again, and now I'm in. I'm like 10 episodes in. I think it's really good on The Pit on Max.

Like, I think it's, if you all watched it, I think it's a really good show. I didn't really like ER, and I thought this is the same dude from ER, and it's in an ER, so it's the same show. But it's very different. I think it's really well done. It's 15 hours in a Pittsburgh ER, and each hour is a real-time hour. It's like 24 of the show. It's like 24, but in the ER. Gotcha.

And I don't know if the science is correct, but I'm going to assume it is, and I've learned things, so I've enjoyed it. I started Chase for the Crown last night on Netflix. I watched the first three episodes. I'm sucked in totally. Was it good? It was good. The horse racing show? Yeah, it's good, the horse racing show.

Okay. Also on Apple TV, I've only seen one episode, but the new John Ham show, your friends and neighbors, episode. Episode one got my attention. And then if anyone is watching The Last of Us, they already know. No spoilers. Sunday's episode might have been the best episode of TV I've ever seen. I want to watch The Last of Us, but I don't like vampires. Like, why do shows all have to have vampires?

Like, it's all vampires and zombies. I would love a show that's about the end of time and, like, the world, but no vampires. Why do they all have to have vampires? I'm normally with you, and even when this show in season one, they started showing the, I guess they're zombie-ish, I was like, here we go. But I still like it. But Sundays TV took, like, a huge toll on me. I've thought about it, like, every day since. It was one of the best episodes of all time of anything.

There's a movie that's out right now. everybody's excited about called sinners. Yeah. It's supposed to be great. But again, it's vampires and zombies. Like, why do we have to have so many vampires and zombies? Because Walking Dead made so much money in HBO said, we need one of those. Have you kept up with righteous gemstones?

I'm behind. I'm behind. So I haven't gotten to catch up with baby Billy, go outside nerd. I did hear he puts on Team Jesus, though, right? Yes, he does. Yeah. I'm maybe one or two behind. This one is so crazy, more so than the first two seasons, whatever it's on.

is just completely off the rails. Who's up next, Shannon? DL. DL. Go ahead, DL. Hey, two questions for asking you thing Wednesday. First question. Nothing I enjoy more than hate watching

John Calpary in Arkansas. Any comments on Boogie Flan entering the portal there? Did he possibly pick DJ? It was the right decision. Over boogie. The thing, well, no, he's got that kid coming in, the high school kid.

I mean, the thing about, if you're a point guard to go in and playing for Calais, Cal Perry, you got to understand you get one year and then it's over. Right. Like, that's just how he does it. Unless your dad's Duwan Wagner. Unless you're DJ Wagner.

So, like, so everybody, so you just have to understand when you're a point guard for Cal, you get one year. So Boogie Flan, I don't know if he'll be a first round pick or not, but he goes in the portal as well because the kid that he's got coming, what's his name? He has two. He has Malik Thomas and Darius Ike. Darius Aikoff is the one I was thinking of. Like, he's taking your spot, Boogie, so you have to.

That's just, that's the, that's the gamble or bargain you make when you go play for Cal as a point card. Has Bucky Flan also entered the draft? He did. Yeah. But he's slipping a little bit. He is slipping. Speaking of slipping, the NFL drafts tomorrow, we're going to talk about it more tomorrow. But Dionne Walker is now projected as like a fourth or fifth round pick.

This was a guy who coming into the year was projected as a top five or top ten. end pick and he is now projected to go day three of the draft. You know, general managers aren't stupid. They watch the game tape and they see him taking plays off and not giving good effort and then maybe he's not in shape and maybe not, his workouts haven't been the greatest. That's why he's slipping. But I mean, that's an epic fall. Yeah, it is.

I mean, this is a dude who I still thought even when he was kind of half-ass in it last year, he's still dominant. Like he still would like completely control. You know, I mean, they ran around him. They didn't run towards him, so I'm a little surprised. Yeah, and it came out they had a back injury, but even with that, I expected Stoops in the green room with him at the NFL draft because even weeks into the year he was projected there and he is completely plummeted.

And on the other side, Malik Hairston has gone up. Maxwell Harris. Yeah, he will be in the green room. Maxwell Harrison has got a shot to be a first round pick. He'll either be into the first or begin the second. That's a pretty amazing thing. And you remember when he played as a freshman, he kind of stunk. Remember, like the fan base all kind of picked on him.

And I give Vince Merrill credit. He said that dude will be a first round NFL draft pick. And we were like, what? He's getting burned left and right. And now it looks like that may end up happening. Probably going to be the highest picked cornerback Kentucky's ever had. You know, that's a spot that's usually a lot of stars in the draft. And he's right in the mix with the top three.

So congrats to him. Amen. Kentucky's probably going to only have. have three guys drafted. Now, if you look at Kentucky football history, most of times we got three, that was like the best year ever. But in the Stoops era, that's a low number. It's going to be probably Dionne Walker, Maxwell Harrison, and Dumas Johnson. So that also explains no players on offense, only three guys on defense, one of whom was hurt a lot of the year. Like that explains some of our struggles, Drew. And I'm also in the draft watching Will Levis might be on the move with my Titans

after they get Ward. Sounds like he's on the trading block. So it could be another cat. making news tomorrow night. Yeah, we'll see. Tell me about Stockton Mortgage. Stockton Mortgage, you know, the spring is the home buying season that is the hottest of all seasons. Is it? Oh, yeah. There's different levels of home buying season.

Can I say something real quick about houses in Lexington? Yes. So, you know, I'm looking for house. Yes. And I was looking the other day. And there's a house that came on the market in Chevy Chase. And I don't want to say anything bad about these people, okay? Because I'm sure these are wonderful people, ma'am.

I'm sure they are. And the house is perfectly fine. Like, I'm sure it's a nice house. But there was a house that is not that much bigger than the house I live in in Chevy Chase. And the listed price was $1.4 million. So Chevy Chase tax. What is wrong with people in Chevy Chase? Well, you said it Chevy Chase.

The house is in Chevy Chase. Why is living in Chevy Chase so great? It's just the demand. People just want to be there. What is it? Why do you want to be there? there. I think it's just the

mystique of it more than anything. What does that mean? I live in Chevy Chase. What does that even mean? It's a status symbol. It means you pay one and a half million dollars for your house. Did you pay way overpriced it? If I'm going to buy a one and a half million dollar house,

there's going to be half some, there's going to be some stuff going on. Right. Like I'm going to have, like there's going to be some yard. I'm going to have a pool. There's going to be like flying. drones. Like, if I'm going to pay $1.5 million for a house in this city, in Kentucky, better come with a pickleball court. I'll take a big ball court out. But it's going to need to be a

spread. That was a tiny house with a tiny yard that I'm sure was nice, but $1.4 million. Ryan, what is happening? I don't have a good answer for you. Even though the housing market has kind of stalled, the prices have stayed up there, stayed high. You know, there is going to be a nice house up for sale here pretty soon. Matthew Mitchell's house, which was Rick Patino's house. That's going to be up for sale pretty soon. I've heard about that. But Chevy Chase people need to chill out with their house prices. Go ahead. So maybe you want to look out where us. Poor people live in Masterson Station. So come on out there. I don't think it's poor people in Masterson Station. I've seen your house. Don't act like you're out there on streets.

Alms for the poor. I've seen your house. But whether it's in Chevy Chase or Masterson Station, Stockton Mortgage can help you. So give them a call. Try it out. Go to their website, Stockton.com. There's a button there, get started. You work with the same loan officer throughout the process, get you to the closing table, get you in that new house, just in time for summer vacation. We can put that pool in, that pickleball court, whatever you want.

Stockton Mortgage, NMLS, 8259. But you still haven't even told me what's in Chevy Chase. Like, first of all, Chevy Chase is nice, but there's nowhere to eat. All they have is like Bella Cafe Charlie Browns and the Chevy Chase Inn. Great spots. There's the most crowded Starbucks on the planet is over there.

It's a lot of trouble. traffic. Okay, you can go to the Woodland Arts Fair. That's nice. But why is it so expensive? It looks like the Highlands in Louisville. There's just these neighborhoods. The Highlands in Louisville has a ton of restaurants, a ton of shops. You can walk to everything. The Highlands, you could literally live in Louisville and the Highlands and never leave. Chevy Chase in, I'm just smelling the exhaust from Tate's Creek Road in Morton Middle School. Like, what is it? Well, you could walk to downtown from Chevy Chase.

Maybe that's part of the allure for people. I don't get it. I don't get it. And there's somebody who's now in the market. These people need to chill out. We'll take a break and be right back. KSR. Last night, a blown call changed a game.

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 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? 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.

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 walks up to me he goes, hey ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What? Time out. Quarterback on office blue 42.

Dude. Hey, Wreck, my mama want you to weigh better. What? Where's he at? Hey, Miss Parker. Listen to the Clifford show on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcast, 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 they were. 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 flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers why he got the ball. Like, after you go through a training camp with that, I said, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball.

So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. 859-2-80-2287. Ask Anything Wednesday. Text Machine 772-745-25 for one person writes, Matt. You didn't give Chevy Chase it's due. You undersold all the great parts of it.

I'm still asking what they are. Trees. History. There's trees in other parts of town. Just that prestigious neighborhood. Older houses, big lots. People just love that. They're not big lots, though.

They're small lots. Some of them are smaller. Some of them are bigger. Up and on, was that Ashland Avenue? They have bigger lots. Yeah, okay. I can understand why those houses are expensive. Yeah.

But that wasn't what this was. This was over closer. This was just like a regular little house. What about the charm? You got to pay for the charm. Is that a place? Just the charm of being in Chevy Chase. And the ability to tell people you live in Chevy Chase.

That's it. You meant there was a restaurant named the Char. There should be. Which, by the way, would be a good name for a restaurant. The Charm. One person writes, Matt, what's your favorite and least favorite ad breed you've done? I really love tipsy elves. Yeah, that was a good one.

I really enjoyed tipsy elves when they had all those, like, spot, you know, what do you call them? Onesies and all that. I really enjoyed, because they would send them to me and I would wear. I really enjoyed tipsy-ails. They had the Kentucky Christmas sweater that some people got, and one of those are nice. I enjoyed when you used to read the Nut Dust ads. Nut Dust was good.

Yeah, Nut Dust. I still have the Nut Dust. Yeah. I don't use it a lot. That would come up a lot. Is it expire? I literally just saw it the other day, and I was like, oh, nut dust. I forgot about that.

That was when we used to do like Harry's regular. We had a company that would send us all those. Least favorite, I mean, I don't like when we do an ad that I kind of know in my heart is not going to work because I feel bad for the people because I know how much it costs to do it. And I'm like, this is just not going to work. So when that happens, I'm not going to say which ones. But when that happens, I kind of just feel bad because I'm like, I want this to work for you and I just don't know if it's going to work.

Yeah, I can't think of any. that we did not like to read. I did some ED commercials. That was a little uncomfortable. Yeah, I had a company come up to me and like ask if they could do a whole ED thing with me. Like they wanted Mario to come film. Oh, okay.

Not me actually, but like to come film. We need proof it works. No. Poor Mario. No, I mean, they wanted me to come film like going through the process and getting tested. Yeah. And the problem was, I mean, I didn't want the results like out on. public

Shannon's doing ED commercials now. I heard one yesterday driving back from Louisville. Yeah,

I'll do them for Tri State. It's more of like a hormone replacement thing than ED. Yeah, but they were very much,

you know, they were, it was, it was a huge offer. And I was just like, I just don't know, I mean,

I have to look at my mom. You know, and like when she hears those commercials, I just, I don't think I can do that. I turn a lot of that, I turn a lot of stuff down just because

honestly, because of my mom, mother. But not nut dust. I feel like my mom would be cool with nutdust. If you look at your mother, we're looking at our bank account. Let's get a van. Van, go ahead, Van.

Hey, guys. What's going on? I'm picking Shaden Sharp. He's going to be, I'm at the best layup line at anybody. It's true. We did get the same, by the way, he was pretty good in the pros this year. He's actually, Shaden Sharp's been a pretty good pro, even though he didn't do anything here.

But go ahead. I was just going. How's the cooking going? You said that you're going to pick a meal for the answer guys. So I've had my first couple of lessons. I did them online. I don't think the online thing's going to work for me. I'm going to have to do them in person to keep myself interested. Because when it's online, I start like, oh, Aberdeen committed. You know, I just get, I get distracted. And so I'm going to probably have to go somewhere in person. The problem is it's hard to find a place where you can go in person. There's a French lady in Lexington that apparently does it, and I was going to, like, go with her, and then she said, you can't speak about anything we talk about. And I was like, well, I can't do that because people are going to want to know.

Right. What is she up to? I don't know. What kind of secrets that she holds? I don't know what these French cookers are doing. All right, so Draft Kings, you go to Draft Kings, use my code KSR to make your bets. It's NBA playoff season. I've made a good amount of money betting against the Reds the last two nights.

Betner against them again this afternoon because I don't like the pitching match up. They stink again. But let's do the Reds. They play the Marlins. I'm picking the Marlins because they got Sandy Alcanada or whatever. Who you got? Yeah, like I said, they got hot when you left and you come back and they get cold again. So, yeah, I'm taking the Marlins.

Yes. Just to be different, I'll take your Reds to get out of the funk. Yeah, they've been too. You go to Florida, they stink. You think you can sweep and now we may get swept today. Who you got, Shane? Give me the Marlins. All right, NBA tonight.

The playoffs, the Lakers won last night, although Brony didn't get in. Let's go Warriors Rockets. Reed Shepard, does he play? Yes or no? He did not play game one. I don't think he plays tonight because I think the Warriors are going to take this whole series. Steph and Jimmy Butler were scary looking in game one. Yeah, he doesn't play.

Is this game in Houston, though? It is. It's in Houston. Houston's down 100. You're a three and a half-point favorite. All the home teams won last night. I'll take Houston to win tonight. I'm going to take Houston.

They got a win tonight. They can't lose two straight at home. Shannon, what do you got? You got Houston. You got Houston. All right. Thank you folks very much. Tomorrow, Brandon Garrison will be on.

We're going to be in studio. He's going to come there. He's going to be like right at the start of the show. So Brandon Garrison will be on tomorrow morning. Thank you all very much.
