My ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, grandfons and grandmalls, aunts and uncles, we are live on the road today at the new Clark's Pumping Shop on Nicholasville Road,
Starting point is 00:02:59 just south of Brandon Carsting, south of Man of War. We've got a lot of details and a lot of deals to tell you about, coming up, but as always, Eric Kentucky Sports Radio, sponsored by the T.J. Smith Law Office called TJ. What happened, Shannon? He'll make them pay. Make them pay. We got kind of a makeshift crew here today. Ryan, Drew Franklin, Shannon the dude, and Super Mario going to join us today for this.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Give Super Mario a hand. Oh, I appreciate it. Appreciate it. Shout out to all the KSR fans. People love them some Mario, Drew. Oh, of course. So I knew when he came on today, the phone lines will light up for the ladies wanted to talk to a little Super Mario. Yeah, I'm glad to have him on here talking. It's always fun.
Starting point is 00:03:33 He's always with us, but he's in the background, taking pictures, making TikToks, and I know the listeners want more Mario, so I'm glad he's on the show with us today. I'm excited to be on, man. I used to work right over there at Enterprise. That was my last job, so it's really cool being over here, being with you guys, what, two years? No, a year and a half later, it's really cool. That location right there? That specific location.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Wow. Before the Long John Silvers. Yes, yes. Because that's the other day where we're at. Clark's Pubit Shop. It's by the new Long John Silver's on Nichol. Now you know where we're talking to you from today. Oh, yeah. Might even hear a little traffic going by. We're right up on the road.
Starting point is 00:04:06 But good being out here at Clark's. You ever have their breakfast here, by the way? Can I shout it out? I don't know if that's on our script. Go for it. I've gotten that twice in the last couple of weeks. Amazing breakfast here. The biscuits. The biscuits, chicken biscuits are one of the best. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I feel like you've already botched the intro, by the way. You didn't do the Clark's Pupp and Shop phone line.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Well, I'm saying that since we're here at Clark's Publish Shop. So go ahead and do it. You didn't do the A-Vision Glass Text Machine. I have a new AVision Glass Text Machine to tell you about. Okay. 859-280, 2287. That's the Clark Publish Out phone number. A-Vision Glass, while Matt has gone, has given us the new A-Vision Glass text machine. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:40 We used it when he went to Amsterdam, right? He was in Europe for like three months. So they're bringing it back. So the A-Vision-Glass text-machine number for the next, what, three weeks. 502-735-36-80. Now, here's how you remember it. 502-7-35-36-80. That does not help me at all.
Starting point is 00:05:00 That helps me. That confused me even more. That's talking about, 35, 36, you know, kind of back to back, and then 80. Okay. My biggest takeaway from this is that finally we've got Ryan on an Apple phone. That's good. Number one, we get the blue bubbles that be Texas there. But you don't have a case for that thing.
Starting point is 00:05:18 And anytime I see somebody with a really expensive phone in no case, sitting on the side of a table, it makes me a little nervous. So please not, please try not to knock that off. Definitely should get a case, man. Why don't you just switch over the iPhone? Why won't you do it? The Android's a better product. It's not.
Starting point is 00:05:32 No, it's better pictures. No, it's not, dude. What world are you living in? I will say this about our new A-Vision Glass text machine. Alan gave it back to Mario to give to me, and people have been texting it for, like, the past year. Even though it's been in a drawer at A-Vision Glass, they've been, since we had that number when Matt was in Amsterdam, you pick it up. And, like, there's text messages here even from last week where people, I hate to tell them, but nobody had that phone until today. seeing it well i'm just now seeing all these messages so we'll see what the first message it comes in
Starting point is 00:06:03 the day during our show 502 what's the note's the number 35 3680 5.02 7 35 3680 7's just all alone there what are we doing with that 7 you know we're hereby is scooters drive through coffee according to that makes you think of 7 all right your your brain what makes me think of okay pat just said it yeah 5 oh it starts with 502 that's pretty easy to remember. I think most people could remember the 502. What's 5 plus 0 plus 2? 7. 7. And then 35, 36, 80. I get the 35, 36, but the 80, like, I don't know. Why should I remember the 80? Random. That's so random. We'll think of something else about too. So look, we know there's
Starting point is 00:06:49 some big national news going on right now. We don't want to ignore it whatsoever, but apparently there's a press conference getting ready to happen where they're going to announce the caught the assassin that killed Charlie Kirk. You can listen to part of that coverage on 84 WHS, our sister station. President Trump about, I think about 8th, 730 or 8 o'clock this morning, said it feels with a high degree of certainty that we've caught the man responsible for shooting Charlie Kirk. So I guess we're going to announce that and identify him. But we didn't want to ignore that this breaking news was going on right now.
Starting point is 00:07:23 We just want to address it a little bit because it's a big story. Definitely is. I think they're going live over there, as you said. Check in. We'll try to watch our phones get any details we need to share too. But there will be some big news coming any moment now from that. It says it looked like just a little speck on the surveillance that they had. Like just, I mean, you know, they were so far back, the person looked like an ant on there. And somehow they were able to narrow it down and figure out exactly who that was. So whoever they have in their custody, I hope that that's the right person. And if you believe some of the early reports, like Patty was telling me, they think maybe the man's dad
Starting point is 00:07:56 and pastor is the one that turned him in. So somebody, you know, identified him from some of that. They had, like, I feel like a ridiculous amount of leads. I forget exactly how many, but there was, like, thousands of leads that were coming in. And, well, I think they finally got him, hopefully. So it brings up a point I want to talk to you guys about. You know, they had a man arrested, like, almost immediately. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Yeah. That poor guy's face went everywhere, everybody immediately assumed it was him. How does he feel today? You know, here you're accused of this heinous crime. your face gets plastered all over these news outlets. I mentioned this yesterday. The internet, everyone wants to be first. This has happened with other tragedies, other news.
Starting point is 00:08:37 There's, like, no accuracy in that. There's been wrong people reported in other incidents like this, and their lives get turned upside down just because these random websites or even Twitter accounts or anyone just trying to get engagement on social media are just trying to put out the first thing, come click this, come comment on this. And it's often wrong. That's why it's hard to find actual news and stuff.
Starting point is 00:08:56 like this because so many places are just throwing out all kinds of nonsense and it's hard to filter what's real. Yeah, they were hauling that old guy off and I'm thinking, okay, they must have had a gun or something on him, right? I mean, why would you just randomly pick this guy? I kind of had a sense that maybe it wasn't him when they were dragging him off and his pants were falling down. I'm like, does a shooter really
Starting point is 00:09:12 have his pants falling down as he's being dragged off? But they had the wrong guy. So I have to ask you, when they arrested him, did the guy did he admit, did he admit that he did it? Or was it kind of like, did the police that they pick him out and said that it was him? The guy that they've arrested today?
Starting point is 00:09:26 The guy who got arrested originally. The old guy. I don't know. I don't know that story behind him, but I just know he was plastered everywhere. His face, there he is. He's the guy that did it. People just assuming he's the guy. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Obviously, he wasn't. Yeah, I had to do something that, you know, made him suspicious, but clearly they got the wrong guy. Yeah. So that story's breaking. Like I said, if you want to hear some of the live news coverage, we've got it on 84 WHAs. But we're here to talk about Clark's Pubbets Shop and UK football. And Drew, does the cutter-bole era begin tomorrow? I think we're going to see the Cutter Bowley era begin tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:09:58 I don't think. I know we're going to see it. He's expected to start. Sound like Calzata didn't really practice much, if at all, very limited. It was all Cutter with the ones, so I'm ready to see, I guess, not his debut, but it could be the beginning of a new era, a multi-year era of Cutter Bowley. He was patient coming in this year, knowing he might have to sit the whole season. And next year they're looking to him as the guy, but he has an opportunity here in week three
Starting point is 00:10:24 to go ahead and speed up that process. take over. We may have only had or may only have two games of the Calazada experience. But if you're Mark Stoops, you don't have time to mess around. I mean, I think, you know, you're on the hot seat for a lot of people anyway. I mean, I don't know if it's officially the hot seat, but it feels that way. And I think Cutter Bowley, this very well could be his job to lose at this point. So I think he's going to have a big game tomorrow. Question is, how does he play against South Carolina? If he has a good game against South Carolina, it's probably his job to lose. I think he's very young. That's what I like about him.
Starting point is 00:10:56 He has a lot of youth on his side, a lot of potential. And I think you put him out there, he can definitely do what he can do. And honestly, man, I don't have nothing against Calzada. He had two games. You know, he didn't really be, wasn't able to really produce at a high level. I think Cutter has a lot more potential, a lot more, you know, higher ceiling. You can roll with that. I'm excited to see what he does tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:11:17 You know, we have a small sample size with Calzada, basically seven and a half quarters. But, you know, the word I got Sunday is that he's legit hurt. So you don't want anybody to get hurt, but it's almost perfect timing to give Cutter the reins and let him go for it when you've got a team like Eastern Michigan coming in. That's not very good, Drew, to Kroger Field tomorrow. Yeah, we haven't gotten a report. That's gamesmanship being a non-conference opponent.
Starting point is 00:11:39 They don't have to say anything. You know, if this was SEC week on Wednesday, you have to put out something Friday, then again on Saturday. So we won't get that. But just seeing him on the bench Saturday looked to be in very, very visible pain. And it's a shoulder. I think he had surgery on before.
Starting point is 00:11:54 So even though we don't know anything, it sure looks like this is an injury that even if, you know, they weren't ready to switch to cutter. They might have to be switching to cutter in this situation, but it could just work out. It's a great opportunity for cutter. You can't ask for a better opponent in front of you. I mean, they're an 0-2 Mac team that has given up 80 points in two weeks. I mean, that's much better than starting on the road in the SEC or somewhere else. So you hate to see a guy get hurt that happened that way, but the door has opened wide open for cutter bowling now. Playing a team like that, it almost feels like a reset to the season.
Starting point is 00:12:22 I know we're only on week three, but starting with a new quarterback, playing a team that you feel like you're going to roll over. I feel like it kind of feels like a reset to the season with Cutter. I'm almost not as concerned about the quarterback, though, because the team's so bad, I mean, if Cutter doesn't look good against Eastern Michigan, we might have bigger problems. I want to see the offense run out there and not trip over each other or the running back not run into the quarterback,
Starting point is 00:12:45 or the quarterback not go to do a play action and the running back's not there or a receiver on the wrong side. I just want to see a clean offense. It's week three. You've already had a whole camp. That end of the first half last week was so embarrassing, and I know they cleaned it up in the second. But if they have anything like that tomorrow in a home game night,
Starting point is 00:13:03 0-and-2 opponent, I mean, my goodness, that operation is going to look terrible moving forward if they can't clean it up against Eastern Michigan tomorrow. And I think there's a little excitement about Cutter being the quarterback. I think the players are a little more pep in their step maybe. I know the fan base is a little more energized. Kind of what both need it. Band base needs this, the locker room needs this.
Starting point is 00:13:23 You know, I do my show prep, I listen to Leach Report every day. And first time ever we called each other this morning. We did call for show prep. Yeah, that's, I guess, the first time in 12 years. So, you know, Tom was saying that the recruiting class was Cutter, Harley Gilmore and Willie Rodriguez. They all came in the same recruiting class. His favorite, Cutter's favorite target seemed to be those two guys.
Starting point is 00:13:44 You know, he hit Harley and Gilmore with a great pass against Ole Miss last Saturday. So maybe we see all three of those guys step up. I was about to bring that up. The big winner in this is probably hardly Gilmore. Those two have had a connection since they got on campus together. You know, they're on the second team with each other all through camp. Now they're going to get this big opportunity. You know, I don't know their personal life, but it seems that they're close off the field, too.
Starting point is 00:14:07 You mentioned Rodriguez. He is well coming in with them. But I think the Bowley-Gilmore connection, it could be the beginning. I said a multi-year bolly era could start tomorrow. I think the door is opening for Gilmore, too, especially since the receivers haven't done much to get much separation in that pack yet. Obviously, I want to see Cutter, you know, have a good game tomorrow, but I think it's also about the organizational issues they've been having. If they can just take this week and try to clean up some of those problems
Starting point is 00:14:31 and hopefully get back on track and figure out whatever the issue has been for the first couple of games, I think that's a big thing to focus on tomorrow. Exactly, Shannon. This is the little things. The lining up, you know, the game management, I think that's the key for Kentucky. They can, you know, kind of sharpen that, that would be a big step for them going for it. We've got to talk about who's here at Clark's Pumpin Shop. It is an all-star game.
Starting point is 00:14:52 It is an all-star. Brian and Victor here in the front with Patty. They're in the front row. Over here, look, here's Pat and Karen sitting over here. We got Mike and Susie Virgin. It drove all the way from Hilton Head, all the way from Hilton Head to come to the show today. Mike's got a big class reunion in Ashland. I like Susie said, I'll go with you to Kentucky if you'll take me to the KSR remote Friday.
Starting point is 00:15:12 So we're glad to have her here. And then here's, look at Tracy Polly. Tracy, we all miss Jerry. God bless you. Tracy said she's moved back to the air. Gary, back to Kentucky. It's great to see. You look great.
Starting point is 00:15:24 We miss Jerry, but you look great. So so happy you got to came and come to the show today. So I'll start cast here today. Yeah, a big smile on my face. She's one of the first people I saw when I got here. She said she lives nearby, so hopefully we can have her come to more Friday shows and help remember Jerry. We've just got to get her up to do the touchdown dance to win the $25 gas card.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Shannon's going to tell you about that. We come back. We're going to give away gas cards here today, but you've got to do something. You've got to do a touchdown dance to get a gas card. Karen's already agreed to do one, so we'll have that going on. Dance contest during the parking lot. Do the Benson Boone Flip. The Clark's puppet shop phone number is now open.
Starting point is 00:16:00 It is 859-280-287, 859-280-80-cats. And our A-Vision Glass Text Machine, Shannon, what is it? Seven. No. 5-102-7-35-36-80. That's it. That's the A-Visaglass Tech Machine. Ryan, Drew, Shannon, and Mario.
Starting point is 00:16:16 We're right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind.

Starting point is 00:17:15 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
Starting point is 00:17:34 and we're still chasing it and we don't know when we've done enough because people scoreboard watch. Life becomes about wins and losses. Steve Burns, Dustin Ross, because you find it important to be a good person while you hear on earth, or are you a good person because you're afraid? Because that's two different intentions, bro.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Absolutely. And that's two different levels of trust. I want you to just really be a good person. Join me, Kear Gaines, as we have real conversations about healing, growth, fatherhood, pressure, and purpose on my new podcast, learn the hard way.

Starting point is 00:18:10 Hey, I'm Jared Adano. You might know me as that loud guy who yells out, Help on the internet. Help! Somebody! Please! But there's so much more to me than that. I'm an actor.
Starting point is 00:18:21 I'm a comedian, and recently I've become quite the helper myself. And on my new podcast, hope from a hypocrite, I'll be changing lives, helping people in need with my sage advice and thoughtful solutions.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Sike! I'm a comedian! I'm not qualified to give good advice. Join me and my comedian friends as we riff, rant, recommend some of the most legally dubious advice known to man. If I'm calling you, even if you're on your phone, let it ring twice. One ring is too scary.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Oh, cream of chicken suit. Hey, cream. Cream a chicken suit. This is Help from a Hypocrat, the worst advice from the dumbest people you know. Listen to Help from a Hypocrite as part of the Mike Coutura Podcast Network available on the I-Hart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The story I've told myself about love, or relationships can then shape my behavior,
Starting point is 00:19:17 and that can lead me to sabotage the possibility of connection. This Mental Health Awareness Month, tune into the podcast deeply well with Debbie Brown and explore the journey of healing, self-discovery, and returning to yourself. We explore higher consciousness, emotional well-being, and the practices that help you find clarity, peace, and self-mastery in a world that can feel overwhelming.
Starting point is 00:19:43 The world is becoming. lonelier. We're not becoming more social and connected. We're becoming more individualized, but we actually need people in connection. If you've been searching for a soft place to land while doing the work to become whole, this podcast is for you to hear more. Listen to deeply well with Debbie Brown from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. This is Sturgel Simpson? I believe. believe so although I'll be honest with you I'm not a huge Sturgle Simpson fan like Matt is but I think this is Sturgle Simpson Ian is this Sturgle Simpson so we're coming
Starting point is 00:20:21 him in for his Liam Liam he performs as Burbin and Beyond tomorrow night that would be correct I think him and Jack White are both tomorrow night big night night tonight you went yesterday I did I had an absolute blast that was my first Bourbon and Beyond experience so I have some questions for Shannon I'll get to because there's been a lot of debate of old setup versus new. I don't know old, so I can't compare. I just know that I had a great time last night. I did the general parking.
Starting point is 00:20:52 I was a little worried about it, to be honest, because I didn't get there until 6.30. We were out of there in no time. I mean, I got home just like I'd be leaving Louisville from any other thing. So I thought it was a smooth operation. But most importantly, Benson Boone did not one flip, not two, not three, not four. I counted five flips. Incredible.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Incredible performance by Benson Boone. Everyone that told me he's a great performer, they weren't liars. One minute he's on this big disco piano. The next minute he's doing flips off the stage and landing down on the ground. Then he's swooning these teenage girls that are passing out. The guy was a great performance. So Benson Boone was a highlight and the logistics for me. It sounds like a luchador wrestler doing it.
Starting point is 00:21:31 It was incredible. Yeah. Well, I have to ask you, what is Bourbon and Beyond? Ask Shannon. Shannon's the pro. It is the world's largest bourbon food and music festival. And it happens every September in Louisville, for four days.
Starting point is 00:21:44 And then after that, we got louder than life, which is North America's largest rock festival. So it's eight out of 11 days, and we're out there for all of it. I am at least. Shannon lived up there. Shannon, I gave my pros. I've heard some complaints from people. Like I said, I can't compare, so I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:21:58 What did I experience that was so different? I hate to be like the negative guy, but I have to be honest with you. I don't like the new layout. So the layout is completely different from years past. Years past, you go in, it was to the right of the Fair & Expo Center. For anybody who's ever been at the Kentucky, State Fair at the Fair and Expo Center. It was off to the right when you go through the main gate.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Now it's over by Kentucky Kingdom and like the, I think it's the North Wing, kind of over in that side. And they've got us in this big I-heart-ready old boombox, like this oversized 15-foot-tall boombox. But they have us tucked away in a corner to where, I mean, it's like, where's Waldo out there? You would have to really, like, search hard to find us out there. And I don't really like our layout with that.
Starting point is 00:22:40 And then number two, you've got to drive a mile from the... the parking lot to the festival grounds for where they've got us set up at now i don't know with you guys with general it may have been just right there you could walk right through there's a bit of a walk but i had to walk a mile just to get there so i'll add to your point about finding the i heart boobox uh after i collected myself after the benson boone experience yeah put my shirt back on and got the water i went looking for the i heart thing i could not find it i eventually did yeah but you it is off by itself our guy austin i think was just sitting there all day i was looking for i was looking for you i was out there somewhere i understand your
Starting point is 00:23:13 complain it was like oh i heart we'll put you all over here in the dark and then comes the drink prices which i talked a little bit about on the pre-show and look after you charge somebody it's three four hundred dollars for a ticket and then forty dollars to park your car each day times that by four if you're going out there for all four days and then it's fourteen dollars for a light beer adds up you know uh 19 dollars if you want to get a craft beer i just feel like it's a little greedy well my beer was 1895 yeah we have two passes they're bourbon and beyond to give away today you know that's a lot of lot of money right there. It's a lot of money right here. We're not going to cover your $40 parking, though.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Of course, it started last night, but it passes for the rest of the weekend. Friday, Saturday, Sunday. So somebody here, they're going to win these two tickets. Patty, you look like you'd love to go to Park. Somebody better get to dancing right now if you want these tickets. So it blew my mind. I spent most of my time at the front two main stages and then I kept walking and I felt like I was in another part of Louisville. And then it's like there's this whole other festival. There was just two more huge stages in just as many people over in this other area. I couldn't believe how much just ground it covered. And then the other thing too, they have Kentucky Kingdom Open, which is like the rides are just there available for anybody who's at the festival.
Starting point is 00:24:20 So after you get yourself a belly full of bourbon, you can go get on the teacups, and then what could possibly go wrong there? You know, like I wouldn't want to be the guy sitting behind anybody on a roller coaster. If I get on the roller coaster, I'm in the front, not in the back. I paid 20 for that beer. I'm trying to keep it down. Exactly. Exactly. So at the end of our show, we will give away two tickets to bourbon and beyond. We've got a lot of stuff to give away today. You can stop by today and grab a pair of Clark's sunglasses. Your chance to win a pair of tickets to see Eric Church at Rupp Arena on October 3rd, so we got tickets for that. You can also get a free small cup of coffee or fountain drink during the show, and everyone that stops by can receive 10 cents off per gallon on their gas.
Starting point is 00:24:56 So a lot of good reasons to come by and start by Clark's Pumby Shop that you can pump and shop and you can shop. Hanger 54 Pizza, those good biscuits I was talking about. I got a blueberry coffee. I don't even know what that means, but that's pretty good. You ever heard of a blueberry coffee? I've had a blueberry coffee before. Those are awesome. That's good stuff.
Starting point is 00:25:12 How long as you like blueberry and coffee. So we mentioned our new A Vision Glass text machine. What's the number, Shannon? 502-7-35-36-80. That's it. Remember scooters, seven. That's right. That's why I should remember seven.
Starting point is 00:25:26 So I told you I would mention the first text that came in, we announced it at 10 o'clock. I'm going to let you read it. That's the first one. Look at 10-07. All right, I see it. It went away. All that buildup
Starting point is 00:25:42 It said Android for Life Oh, that was the first one that came in Android for Life Android fans are a dying breed If you have an Android fan You have Android, I'm kind of looking at you Like, I don't know about this guy You better be careful, Ryan.
Starting point is 00:25:55 It's not even a mile down this street Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, was here yesterday Just right down there Oh really? He was he going to here He was at the Apple store just hanging out Giving Daps I don't know why he was there
Starting point is 00:26:07 but that was a pretty big get for the summit at Fritzfarm over there. He didn't get Ryan, though. Get Ryan to switch. Here's, I'm going to read you the first couple texts that came in on the aviation glass tech machine. Go Pack Go. Yep, I like that one. Did this work for KSR? Mommy Squammy.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Don't forget the seven. Don't forget the seven. Looks like quality text coming in today. It's going to be three weeks of that. Yeah. We need some juice from the text machine. There's a ton of text on there. I'll try to go through them during the break.
Starting point is 00:26:37 But we're going to use that while Matt is gone. Phone lines are open. 859-2-80-2-287. That's Clark's Publishap phone number. We are live at Clark's Publishap right now. We can come out and see us. We've got a lot of stuff to give away. Of course, the big game tomorrow with Kentucky and Eastern Michigan.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Eastern Michigan is not good. I mean, the spread was, what, 24 and a half? I think it's up to 25 and a half now. I think it'll probably be more than that. I mean, this could be just a feel-good day. Like I said earlier, Drew, the fans need it, the locker room needs it, the coaches need it. We need it.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Everybody needs a big feel-good win tomorrow. Big confidence boost game for everyone. For the fan experience, it's going to be sunny tomorrow. It's actually going to be really hot, like high 80s during the day. So if you're tailgating, be sure to work in plenty of waters that at night drops down to about 60. I think it's a big opportunity for Kroger Field. There's obviously been a lot of complaints the first two weeks. We've spent a lot of time being critical.
Starting point is 00:27:28 But night games kind of bring their own energy. It doesn't matter the opponent. You get to turn on the fancy lights and the ribbon boards. They need to put on a bit of a show with the football. football too after letting fans down for two weeks. Night games are just different and they kind of pack their own fun like show us something. Let's let's have a good game there. I assume it's going to be a win, hopefully a route. Let's also get Krogerfield rocking as best you can. I feel like when I was a student the experience was the same. Like it never really changed. Me too, Mario. I'm in 2005.
Starting point is 00:27:58 Like you know what I mean? Like nothing really has changed with the fan experience, man. But it's going to be excited. I'm excited for the lights. I want to see the lights. It's the first night game, get to see the lights. I think that's going to be a cool thing about it. So I got the Wi-Fi figured out finally, right? Because that was... Oh, no. Patty's shaking her head. She goes there.
Starting point is 00:28:16 Shaky? Still shaky? Yeah, not the best. Because I remember, like, years ago going there, and you had to go up into the concourse. Like, if you were at your seat, you couldn't get any Wi-Fi. You had to go up to the concourse just to be able to get any kind of phone signal. How have they still not figure that out in 2025? Here's how I know it's not working.
Starting point is 00:28:32 When I'm walking around tailgates and talking to friends, They're all going, hey, can I get that media Wi-Fi password before we go in? I'm like, is it really that bad? Because I don't have one I can give out. It's like specific to each person. But everyone's always asking me at games to get on the Wi-Fi. Are they doing that on purpose to keep fans off their phone, maybe? If you can't get Wi-Fi, you're not going to be on your phone.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Try to pay the end of the game more. All right, we'll take our break. Come back, 11 o'clock. Brooklyn Delay and Molly Tuzzo. Tuzzo. Tuzzo. Coming here to talk to us that we are live at Clark's Puppet Shop. T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Call T. He'll make them pay. Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones. All right, welcome back. We are at the new Clark's Puppet Shop. Nicholasville Road, just south of Brandon Crossing, south of Mano War, by the new Long John Silver's. You know exactly where we are.
Starting point is 00:29:22 And you can return, you can refresh, and you can refuel. We've got a lot of goodies to give away. You can get a free small cup of coffee or a free fountain drink during the show today. Everybody stops in it. They can also get 10 cents off per gallon of gas. and Shannon, if you do a touchdown dance, we're going to give you a $25 gas card. That sounds great.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Nobody's volunteered yet. No one has done it yet. This is a shy group we have here. Here's Brian. Oh, here's Brian. Oh, no. Don't call. Let's see what we got here. Brian's going to do his touchdown dance.
Starting point is 00:29:49 We're going to have to do play about playing for the listeners. Let me get some video here. Yeah, do we need to get the paramedics on? So Brian has stood up. We're stretching. Stretching. It's a good stretch. Big Brian.
Starting point is 00:29:59 There you go. Is that the dance? Okay, that's the stretch. That was the stretch. Brian's wearing Hawaii. He spiked it? Oh, now he's... Oh!
Starting point is 00:30:08 Brian's shirt came off at the remote. Yeah. Okay. All right. Whoa. That man has earned his $25 gift card, Rachel. Give that man and his gift card. And all he had to do is show us his man boobs.
Starting point is 00:30:20 I was not expecting that. Very good. Very good play. Very good job. Good job, Brian. Hopefully one of the Kentucky guys will do that tomorrow. Well, that was something. That might be a penalty if they were to do that tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:30:30 I guess that's what I know what I look like when I do that now. There you go. Is it like looking in the mirror? Watch it slow down. Yeah, Brian did it. Yeah. Right here.
Starting point is 00:30:41 This would have been a moment where we really needed Matt here. I think Matt would have had some opinions about what just went down. Matt would have shut that down. That would have not happen if Matt were here. And I'm sorry that she missed it. She didn't get to see it. So if you want to win a $25 car, I get who's coming to your touchdown dance here at Clark's puppet shop on Nicholas Phil Roe.
Starting point is 00:30:55 All right. We got one caller. We're going to get to him. And then we're going to talk a little more stuff. But this guy's kind of a special guy to us. And I think he just had a birthday if it's who I think it is. Hello Dawson. Hey, you guys, how I got it doing the day?
Starting point is 00:31:09 Is this our Dawson that just had a birthday? No, no, my birthday is February. I'm sorry, disappointed. I thought it was our Dawson who just had a birthday. There's our Dawson's out there. Go ahead, go ahead, Dawson. Yeah, I'm sorry about that. So, funny story, Ryan, I'm actually a freshman in the UK,
Starting point is 00:31:25 and I actually live in the same housing hall as Josiah, so I see him passing around every now and then. Oh, oh. Go ahead. Dump the tea. How many ladies has he brought to the dorm? I can't count them anymore. It's getting too much.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Wow. Wow. Granddaddy Lemon. But so just walking around campus and talking to different people, all the students, it seems like I'm really excited for the game. We're all trying to get tickets. We're all just really excited for Cutter. And funny story about Cutter. His dad's actually my dentist.
Starting point is 00:31:59 So I've known him for a while. And just he hangs out. with hardly outside of class all the time. So just been having that connection, I think, is going to show a lot, especially like it did with that 53-yard pass they had in full minutes. And just kind of, I think just going forward, they're going to have a big connection, just knowing each other outside of class.
Starting point is 00:32:18 So we're really excited for the game, and I'm really excited to do what they can do. All right, I appreciate it, Dawson. Yeah, I think there is a little bit of level excitement because the torch is being passed. I think, you know, this is what we wait on. If he's the quarterback of the future, now's Cutters' time, and they're going to let him do what he can do.
Starting point is 00:32:34 And like we've already said, Harley Gilmore and Willie Rodriguez may be the two biggest recipients of this move. Yeah, he mentioned Cutter's dad. I've heard him do a few shows this week. Scott Bowley, yeah. You know his dad is going to say good things about him, but it just sounds like Cutter's had the right attitude since the spring, knowing they went out and got another quarterback that's most likely going to be ahead of him. But one thing that stood out as his dad said that when he'd check on him, Cutter is just like, can't wait to get a facility tomorrow, can't wait to practice again, can't wait to work out again,
Starting point is 00:33:02 Can't wait to go throw with Gilmore again. So he's certainly in the right headspace for a red shirt freshman going into his first start this season. We do as time we come. I'm glad it's against Eastern Michigan and not like a really tough team, you know, like a Texas or somebody. You know, this sort of played out of it, but we're going to happen, you don't ever want anybody to get injured. I'm not saying that. But if it were going to happen, having Eastern Michigan be the game that you introduce him in as the starting quarterback. I think it's probably the best case scenario.
Starting point is 00:33:25 It's a true freshman. He was playing on hard mode. He was changing the settings to a little easier tomorrow. Might be it'll show off a little bit. He's already done the going into all. Austin going into Gainesville and then the Governor's Cup. I want to see him do a touchdown dance like Brian just did. No.
Starting point is 00:33:40 One is enough. That's scarred in our minds now for us for a lot. I'm tweeting it out for anybody who may watch it. How do you feel about his dance? Usually you're the one taking off your shirt. I think I've taught Brian well. I think he taught him well the things you need to do. There you go.
Starting point is 00:33:54 It's officially on Twitter now. There you go. Everybody can see that. That's what you get for booing me every week at OVW. You know, Mario mentioned this, Dawson, the caller mentioned this, and Josiah also mentioned this. They are excited about a night game. I think, you know, especially for Dawson and Josiah that are freshmen,
Starting point is 00:34:12 it would be their first night game. When I talked to Josiah yesterday, I said, you're going to the game, goes, yeah, because it's the first night game. It makes a difference, and that's why I think there'll be a decent crowd there, I think, tomorrow night. They should do something fun for the students. I feel like when I was a student, we would go to the first game, and then after that, we wouldn't go to any more.
Starting point is 00:34:30 games. Unless it was a night game here and there or the big games. But I feel like they should definitely figure out something to do for the students. Like the student section in general. And the students were good, the first two games. I think part of it is you're the freshman, you're on campus for the first time. First time getting a tellgate. I have family
Starting point is 00:34:46 who's a freshman this season at UK and we met up with her and there's just all this excitement just to go to the stadium as a student. So first night game doesn't surprise me that they're excited. They even stayed later than I expected for the Toledo game in week one. But Mario's right. you know, that'll wear off a little bit.
Starting point is 00:35:02 They'll find other things to do on campus if you're not making it fun for them. Week 8, they might not have that same enthusiasm that they have now, just being new and wide-eyed to Lexington. So has there been any adjustments on the end-game experience there? Everybody's been talking about these first couple of weeks? My guy at Warren Peace. Shout-out Warren Peace. He brought back Waka-Flocka, so I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:21 I don't know what they could do to make it better. I was a fan of the horses coming out. You like the horses? Yeah, I think they should do that. Yeah, if you look at Texas, like they have their long. Longhorn, they bring their longhorn out before the game. Why can't we bring like an animal with something that's really important to the Kentucky fan base? Maybe horses on a jockey.
Starting point is 00:35:38 How about a wildcat? Can we not just bring a wildcat? Well, not the horses. Yeah, or a wildcat. Yeah, I mean, that can work. It just worries me we're talking to the operation that hasn't figured out Wi-Fi or speakers yet. Right. And then put live animals in their hands.
Starting point is 00:35:53 I'm just trying to get the basics before we get on to the next steps. They've got to figure it out, though, because, I mean, that's, that's been the hot top. over the last couple of weeks. They've got to figure that out. I will compliment them. There was an instant replay during a review last week. The crowd went crazy.
Starting point is 00:36:08 So at least they're listening. Seriously, though, that was a big complaint from week one. They don't do that. They don't play replays. I can only imagine how many emails they got because I know what we got from messages. So at least they did listen to the fans from week one to week two. So also tomorrow during the game, they're going to announce the UK Hall of Fame class.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Actually, the induction dinner is tonight. We've seen it before where they've come out. There's six members. They'll put them on the field and introduce them. I want to go over these guys. You tell me what you remember or think about when you say their name. First of all, Sonia Hahn from women's tennis and Abby Cheek from softball. They're two of the six. But now here's somebody I want you to comment on. First of all,
Starting point is 00:36:44 Doug Flynn. I have a Doug Flynn t-shirt. I should have worn it today. Do you? Of course. wore it to the Reds game. When I did the match game, I was wearing a Doug Flynn shirt. That's right, you were. Big Doug Flynn guy. Doug Flynn may have played longer in the big leagues than any other UK baseball player. I mean, he won a couple World Series, and he was in the big leagues
Starting point is 00:37:02 for 12, 13 years, it seems like. And, you know, when he came to UK, he was also a member of the basketball team. That's right. Freshman didn't play basketball back then, so he was on the freshman team, and then he went straight baseball. So this, I feel like long overdue for Doug Flynn. Yeah, it might have been this morning on Tom Leach, who was talking about how he was
Starting point is 00:37:20 surprised, like completely caught him off guard that he would even be considered. But, yeah, you mentioned his career. He still does commentary for baseball. He does a good job with that, so he's absolutely deserving. And you're lost over the first two. Sonia was a little before my time, but I remember watching Abby Cheek.
Starting point is 00:37:34 My goodness. She was a superstar. You know, I'm probably not the best historian for UK softball, but when I think of that program, she comes to mind. She's definitely the one name you remember. McKeel Apes. I think well deserved to get into the UK Hall of Fame, Mario. Marion County Legend.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Shout out Michaela Epps. I'm excited and happy for her. I think she's playing semi-pro ball now, so it's kind of cool to see what she's kind of tied into basketball. She's still got a lot of ties to basketball. And Shannon, that one year when half the team left Matthew Mitchell's team, she stayed and helped rebuild that program back up from the ashes. I think that's part of it. And, you know, her dad playing at Kentucky, I think it just meant something different for her to be able to put that jersey on and call herself a Kentucky Wildcat.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Well deserved. With respect to her teammates, she was a one-woman show there for a little good. She was. She was damn good at it, too. She carried that team for a couple years. She really did. Josh Heinz Allen, maybe one of the top two or three defensive players ever to play football. Kentucky.
Starting point is 00:38:31 You have one of the best in the league right now, too. My favorite Josh memory really isn't even a Josh thing. It's probably Freddie Maggard going, hey, this two-star that only had an offer from Monmouth. That's the one we're watching. And we're like, Freddie, you're all losing it. You're losing it, Freddy. He's a two-star guy. And then we all know what Josh Allen became.
Starting point is 00:38:50 That and then some superhuman plays he made in that special year. I remember, I think it was at A&M. It was a loss. Maybe somebody can help me remember this, but he kind of dropped back in coverage and tipped The pass, it was like a superhuman effort. So he was one of a kind. And as we debated a week or two ago, he's a lock on the UK Mount Rushmore. And the last guy is going to be inducted, Carl Anthony Towns.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Big Cat. Big Cat. Here for one year, ended up being the number one overall pick, led that team undefeated until they lost to Wisconsin in the final four. Just an amazing run and an amazing guy. SCC, it's the SEC. No, we're not doing Sestey Cat on the ASR. Mario.
Starting point is 00:39:31 I remember, obviously Carl was so fun, but like Carlito, just the other stuff with Carl, like photo bomb and Cal at LSU. Carl, to be so talented, it was just a great personality to cover, too. People kind of forget, though. It took Carl a little while to get going. I think maybe a North Carolina game. He didn't play well, and then they got to SEC play. He hit the gas, and I'd still say there'd be another championship banner if they would have
Starting point is 00:39:55 just kept giving him the ball against Wisconsin. And allowed him to shoot a three occasionally every now and then. Would have been really nice. Dude, never shot a three here. Cal wouldn't let him. That's one of the best big men three-point shooters in the NBA history. Right. If any of these Hall of Fame inductees, just hit me there in Lexington,
Starting point is 00:40:10 if they want to come by the show, pregame tomorrow. We're here? Clark's Puppet Shop, Nick of them. So come on down. We'll let you do a touchdown dance like Brian did. Get a $20-fodd-dollar gas card if you do that touchdown dance. I'll shoot my shot with Carl for the pre-game show. It'll probably be a hard no, but what can ask.
Starting point is 00:40:26 That's right. Stop by and talk to us for one segment. Mario will stop doing that impersonation. We might get them. Sorry, I had to, man. All right, we'll take our break. Come back. 502-859-2-2-287.

Starting point is 00:44:43 Shannon and the pre-show Drew said this is the greatest jingle for a business. No, no, no, no, no. You got it wrong. I said it's the best NIL Kentucky commercial that I've heard. Okay. Now, what do we have to compare it to? Donato's with Reed Shepard and Rob Billingham. And I was just saying this is much, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:45:01 I'm saying this is much better than that one. That's all I was saying, but it is good. I think it's fine. You were a fan of this song when it came out, the Clark's Puppetshop and Rap with Lamont Butler. I agree with Shannon. It's not just the song. The video is well produced. The video is good.
Starting point is 00:45:14 I think it's very important. The guys have gotten better, but you mentioned like the Reed. There's others. Sometimes they have these NIL deals, and it seems like they're not doing their best effort on the promotion. But the Clark's Pumpet Shop, when, like, that was always, like an actual music video that was the best we've seen that one in it it's not Clark's but one of the hotels
Starting point is 00:45:33 did a really good one too so it was Lamont Butler did the rap and Andrew Carr who was the third guy was Kobe and no I don't think yeah it was Jackson Robinson Jackson Robinson that's right it was Jackson Robinson so the Clark's Publishop Shop come over here we're live at Clark's Publishop shop

Now, a couple things happened in the Ole Miss game. We talked about it, but then it kind of got forgotten about that I think are really kind of glaring issues what's going on with this football program.
Starting point is 00:47:11 And Drew, you talked about this. When the camera zoomed in on Zach Calzada and you can read his lips, he said, what the blank are we doing? Yeah. I mean, just the communication, the offensive execution, just the confusion, and it kind of reared its own. We had all right there at the end of the first half. I went just Calzada. If you had zoomed in on me in the press box, I also was saying what the bleep are we doing, as were many fans around the stadium, as you're in a pivotal series, you're up against
Starting point is 00:47:39 the half. You just got in field goal range. The announcers are going, why are you even trying to run a play? All right, well, they're going to run a play anyway. In that play, they're tripping over each other and end up on the other side of the 50. You're an SEC football team. Like, when I turn on the other marquee prom-time games, I don't see all. S.U players tripping over each other.
Starting point is 00:47:58 I don't see them getting into Philgo position and then getting two straight penalties and can't even execute a simple just throw the ball out of bounds to stop the clock. Even Stoops kind of called out, I guess it was called a Hamden. It was indirect, but he was like, I didn't care what the play was. We were just trying to clock it. Clock it, and then they go in and end up with, was a legal motion, and I think there was a holding, and next thing you know, you're on the other side of the 50. That's just, you were a big-time football program, and that looks.
Starting point is 00:48:26 like Bush League stuff out there. So there was that claim, claim, air quotes, that there were some technical issues. We've heard other people say, maybe that wasn't true, but do you believe that maybe there were some technical issues? And my thing is, though, why don't you have something you can just default back to? Like some sort of generic play where if things don't work, you just run that play. What do they do during, like, spring training, like practice? What do they do? Great question.
Starting point is 00:48:51 There's got to be like a basic play where, okay, if this doesn't work, or if it's all falling apart, we got five seconds, we run. this play. It's the basics. Yeah. And it seemed like there is just not anything like that in place for this offense. At least it seemed that way. Also, you play in Kroger Field.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Of course there's going to be technical difficulties. You should already plan for when the headset goes out. I think it's happened in other seasons. And that's going to happen a lot of places. You should be able to go off script and not need the headset. You should have a backup plan. So you mentioned something else that kind of glaring when Sean McDonough and Greg McElroy, the two announcers are openly making fun of you.
Starting point is 00:49:26 almost during the broadcast. National TV. National TV, a national audience. A lot of people have tuned in because Kentucky jumped out 10 to nothing. You've got your two announcers that I like both are basically embarrassed with what they've seen so far from Kentucky. That's your boy, Shannon. Well, look, I like Sean McDonough, but I think that he's just calling it like he sees it.
Starting point is 00:49:45 I mean, I can't get mad about it because I was thinking the same thing. Now, maybe you should say, okay, maybe national broadcasters shouldn't say that, you know, poke fun at them, but whatever. But let's not do that. I mean, don't embarrass yourself, and you wouldn't have to worry about it. commentators making a snide comment like that. I can't remember many games were, like, laughing at one of the teams. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:50:01 Both guys kind of taking a minute to really kind of make fun of Kentucky at that point. I was kind of taken about it by that. You were ticked off by it? I laughed when he said in the second half, perhaps Kentucky will defer. Yeah. And give all this the ball in the second half. I thought that was a great line. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:50:18 At one point, he's just like, my goodness. And he also called out stoop. He said, this is the type of things that get you fired. I was actually surprised he said that. That was bad. Because I was in the press box not watching the broadcast, and I'm getting all kinds of texts. Like, they are roasting us on ABC.
Starting point is 00:50:34 So the moment I got home, I went back and rewound to that part in the game and couldn't believe how just blunt they were without bad Kentucky looked. How many times did Freddie Maggard talk to us about the middle eight? The last four minutes of the first half and the first four minutes of the second half, and even the second night they came out of the locker room,
Starting point is 00:50:50 knowing they had the ball, had back-to-back three-and-outs. That first position, they got three-yards, went three-and-out. It's almost inexcusable when the things like that have that middle eight continually over and over and over they fail. And that spans several teams. That's been a Stub's thing forever. How many times have you been in a good spot with two minutes and a half and you look up and the other team punched in 14 right before they went to the locker room? That's just kind of something we've been used to. But to get into Philgo position the way they did and just completely fumble that.
Starting point is 00:51:22 Stoops mentioned that he cleaned it up at halftime. I won an audio recording of whatever he said to that staff. Yeah. Did it work? Well, I mean, they didn't. They weren't tripping over each other the next half. He told him to stop substituting so much. That was part of the problem.
Starting point is 00:51:35 But I bet he used a little more colorful language than stop substituting. The veins were popping out of his head of a couple points. That's when Mark stooped out his best when he's mad and got a two funny shoulders. So, like I said, hopefully things will be a lot better tomorrow night.
