You can give a shout on the Clark's Pump and Shop phone line 859-280-2287. A Vision Auto Glass Text Machine is. 772, 7754. It will be an Ask Anything Wednesday. We'll open up the phones in just a little bit. We're having a little bit of a delay issue, so we're going to fix it before we get the phones and let it be Ask Anything Wednesday. But we are here at the bar on, you know, not quite as sunny. Maybe the first little chill of fall in the air today, but we got the gates open and ready to rock.

Got Philip here. He's doing his thing. and old school UK baseball jersey and we're ready to rock. It does still feel like it's football season, man. I feel like we're on October. Like early October, you got that little crisp in the air. You walk outside, like, oh, maybe I should have a hoodie and it shorts on. Definitely a crisp in the air.

I like it. This is my kind of weather right here. Me too, but I feel like Ron's dressed up again. You keep throwing me off. Is something going on? You're looking nice today. This is an odd shirt because I don't think it says business, but it also doesn't say leisure.

it seems to say something in the middle. What is this? Yeah, it is kind of in the middle. I got to put my real estate realtor hat on today. So this is a realist. Are you wearing, but those are basketball shorts. They're wearing like a polo that's nice and basketball shorts. Yeah, the upscale Viori shorts.

Maybe the house he's shown has a court. You never know when a game will break out. What is Viori? Oh, you know, that's the stuff Livy Dunn. Is that why you got it? Sure, yeah. She and I are very close. But you understand that, like, this is very much sort of business top, sit on your couch being sad, bottom.

Yeah. And you're trying to express both. Yeah, exactly. You kind of want to be that when you're realtor. I don't want to come around too hoity-to-dy professional. Yeah. Don't have to worry about that. Did you think about maybe wearing, like, nice shorts?

These are some of my nicest shorts I've got. These are the drawstring. Yeah. Yeah. But it does. It has a drawstring that's sticking out. almost to your knee. Yeah, maybe I'll tie that up for we go.

So those are some of the nicest short. I mean, look, they're high-end, well, I guess medium-end athletic shorts, but they are ultimately athletic shorts. But they're comfortable. I think, you know, that's when you see me when saying, that kid looks comfortable. Your kid? Yeah. Okay. All right.

I like it. I switch to elastic also, Ryan. No need for buttons. No need for buttons and belts, zippers and all that stuff anymore. Well, I mean, listen, it's just a, it's just. It's not that the outfit is wrong. It's just seemingly a little mismatched. That's all I'm saying.

Yoga Girl got me some of these shirts. We don't try to break them out. What are those shirts? This is a knockoff of the roffle. What's the high-end brand? Raffle? Roflou? Roflue.

A knock-off of Roflu. I thought it was more like a Peter Millar type. That's what I thought it was. Yeah. Peter Malar. Is Roflu a thing, or did you just make up those syllables? You know, got the little dog character up here on. On your shoulder.

There we go. Not raw flu. Yeah. Okay. Again. Pardon me for me to say anything. What about this is roeback? It's not, it's a knockoff of the rollback.

It's like the generic. It's patterned. I thought it was raw flu when I walked in. Yeah, raw flu. All right. Well, it's nice to see you. Good to see you guys. 859-280-2287.

You know, I, last night had to come down from my first big public meeting. Oh, yeah, you went. I went. Nice. I've been waiting all night to hear how this went to the public meeting. So it was at the park. So the meeting was about the park. But it was at the park.

It was at the park. So you're like doing it to its face. You're not going to go hide. Yeah, I mean, you're not going to hide. And you had, they were like, they introduced five people. In Lexington, I think everyone's job title must have five to eight words. So it was like the director of traffic and management of park. And like, I don't, so I don't know who was in charge.

of what. I got the sense that one woman was in charge of the park, although I wasn't certain. I think there was a guy in charge of parking. I don't know if the council member showed up. But if he or she did, I didn't know which one. But there were five suits. Kind of leading the meeting. And then there was probably 10 or 12 residents.

Very nice, first of all, to meet my fellow neighbors. Yeah. I found out that I have some people like my age. There are KSR listeners that are my neighbors. There are a group of like six college students that live in one place. I think they let that slip. I'm not sure that that was, that they meant to say that. And then there were some older folks, right, that are like lifelong.

And, you know, they sit down and they let us. I think I've said this to you before, Drew. I am progressive more progressive slash liberal slash moderate a little bit of all that

but one thing conservatives do better than us is meetings our side feels like everybody should get to talk right and everyone should get to

like give all their feelings sometimes that's the best idea and I'm very much like a bam so in that respect I knew this was going to be one of those like everybody so like everybody

gave their thing and we all had pretty much the same complaint but everybody wanted to kind of express it a different way did you yes I just said look there's a lot of problems here but if you'll just paint half of it yellow and put up a sign I think we're good there you go bam bang brief okay just paint one of the sides yellow let them park on the other side put up a sign we all go home Uh-huh. Right? We're all good at that point. We got, that's where we ended up.

But it took an hour to get there. We had to walk around. I was good with everything, Ryan. I was in a good frame of mind. Yeah. Public meeting. Sure. I'm meeting my neighbors.

Was it your first public meeting? I have never been to a public. I think I went to the city council meeting when my mom was the, uh, the city council lawyer and Larry was on the city council in 1987. Wow. That's the last time I've been to a public meeting. They haven't changed. No.

I believe Larry had a heart attack that day. What? Yes. Wow. That was 40 years ago. Glad he's doing all right. Yeah. So luckily, I think everybody got through this one without heart attacks.

We get to that. That ends up being the conclusion. And I'm good. But you know, I have this trade in me, Ryan. Yeah. I'm getting close to you in your fake Roflu shirt. I have this trade in me where if somebody says something, sometimes I can't just let it go.

True. Right. So the lady, she's a very nice lady from the park. Uh-oh. We're kind of closing the meeting. Uh-huh. And she said, I just want everybody to know, we foresaw this happening. And we had a plan, we have a plan for the future. You know, this has happened in other cities, so we foresaw this.

And I couldn't let that go. Yeah. All right. We had already reached the conclusion I wanted. But there was something about when she said, we foresaw this. I just couldn't let it go. So then I feel myself, Ryan, going, you know what? You're getting the solution you want.

Walk away. Walk away. Just go home. It's dinner time, right? It's time for your walk. I can see you sitting up in your seat, getting a little fidgety. You know me. I'm fidgeting.

Because other people are, like, giving their stories and I'm just fidgeting. Yeah. You know, I'm moving like this. And finally I go, I have to say something. Appreciate you coming here. I even do the like I love you, but. Oh, no. This park is wonderful.

This is bringing people from all over the city. It's beautiful. The kids seem happy. I didn't yell tell them to shut up. But I was like, you know, these kids seem happy. So far, no one's falling off a cliff. Like, it's all good. But I was like, I do have to say,

if you foresaw this coming, why didn't we do something about it? Yeah. Right? Like if you foresaw this coming, why didn't you have somebody there? Right? Why didn't we come up with some solution?

She didn't really have an answer for that. And I got the sense that there were some people that were like, we've won. Be quiet, go home. Why did you have to say that? But you know what, Drew? I just couldn't, like she said, she foresaw it coming. Like, I was like, you got, then why didn't we do something about it, you know?

You couldn't have left that building without saying something. You would have been tossing and turning it home. You would have called her in the middle of the night to tell her. I had to say, like, if you didn't foresee it coming, then, you know what, I get it. Happens. Who considers the side street in the, in the park? Exactly. And the fact that people are just leaving dumps full of diapers everywhere.

Like, who could see that happening? But anyway, I, I, but otherwise, the media. I thought with with positive. More meetings in your future? Do you what? More meetings in your future? I mean, if I, it's very, I think if you're considering running for office, especially local office, just go to a meeting.

You won't want to do it anymore. Like I would say to you, if you think you're going to run for mayor, just go to a city council. Go to one of those city council meetings. Or just go to one of these meetings. Because I can't imagine, like as much as this bothered me, what if you had to do that for every neighborhood? Yeah.

You don't want to pull. your hair out, wouldn't you? If you had to go into every neighborhood and listen to the people in the neighborhood like me, wine, you'd by the end of it go, what am I doing with my life? So, Ryan, I would say to you, before you go to mayor, run for mayor, and demolish Nicholasville Road, I would say go to some of those and see if you really want to do. That is. That is great advice because, you know, every one of these meetings are somebody like you at every one of those meetings asking that question when it's time to wrap up. well wait a minute now let's talk about this a little bit yeah no you've been to some like you

i've been to the one about the walmart or something right about the new croger i didn't want to go uh when i got there my dad had saved us a seat in the front row where it looked like we were on a committee it was like dad we could have blended in back here 20 minutes into it i'm like why am i here 40 minutes into it i didn't want to leave i wanted it to last all night great people watching yeah and some people wanted solutions that were too much like one person was like let's get residential parking permits. They're $30. I'm like $30.

How did we end up going from having to do nothing to paying $30? You know. We had a woman say this project wasn't considered when I bought my house in like 1977. Yeah, you got to go. And I want to be like, it's tough. You know, I don't even think we had internet. Yeah, one person in our group was like, well, now there's kids in our yard. And I'm like, well, that's just, that's kind of life, I think.

Did the horses come up in any more? I brought up the horse. Yeah. I didn't bring up the horse. Covered a lot in this meeting. I was like, what's up with the horses? You know, I didn't know about the horses. And the horse people were not there.

So the people who owned the horses. How about this? There are four horses there. In that little yard? I thought there were one. There was four. And apparently there's a new one. And like it's running around being baby horse everywhere.

But there's four of them. And did I tell you about what the person wrote me after the show, the equestrian easement? No. No. Have we talked about this? Now, I don't know if this is true. Okay, I don't know if this is true. But I am told by someone who wrote on the text machine and used big words,

so I feel like they might have known what they were talking about. Listen to this craziness. All right, if you live in Lexington, from High Street all the way to Sixth Street. Okay. All right. So think about High Street to 16th. This includes Transylvania. Yeah.

This includes all of that. There is in Lexington from High Street. Street to Sixth Street, something called an equestrian easement that goes back to 18, like 40. And it allows anyone who owns a horse to ride their horse through all of that, including private yards. That because of the, you know, you got to think, you got to go back to that time. Precars, the horses got around. I don't know what the thought was. But if you live, so apparently, not only can you own horses,

from High Street to Sixth Street, you can just ride around people's yards. Now, I want you to think about that. That means you could, like, walk up and down the steps at Rupp Arena with it. It's in that area. I don't think you can go in people's houses. But, like, if I go in my yard,

if you live from High Street to Sixth Street, and you look up and somebody's, like, riding a horse in your yard, nothing you can do about it. Nothing you can do about it. There is an equestrian easement from High Street to Sixth Street, throughout Lexington. Well, you've just solved our traffic problem. Settle up. So that is, by the way, how that person can own horses. Yeah. Is that that's there.

And who knew? Like, who would have ever imagined that such a thing existed? Do you ever see them out? Do they ever walk the horses or ride the horses around in the neighborhood? You know how long I've lived there. I didn't even know there was a horse there until a couple weeks ago, until I heard it, nay. It seems much bigger than the parking at the park, to be honest one of these days we're going to see some horses just galloping down five and you're going to go this doesn't seem right and you're going to remember this show the equestrian easement yeah allows them to do it i'll be dang so a little history lesson about downtown lexington 85928027 859 287 27000 text machine is 772 7754 we're going to take a break we will be right back this is ask anything wednesday on ksr

last night a blown call changed the game this morning the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending, opinions are flying, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened.

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. Join me, Kear Gaines, as we have real conversations about healing, growth, fatherhood, pressure, and purpose on my new podcast, Learn the Hardway. Open your free iHeartRadio app. Search Learn the Hardway and listen now. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano, and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin.

And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid.

He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stopped by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball. Like, you go through a training camp with that 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. What's up, guys? This is Clever Taylor the 4th. And on my podcast, The Cliverts Show, I'm bringing you conversations about all kinds of stuff.

Like being an internet famous referee. We're in the middle of a game. This linebacker walks up to me. He goes, hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What? Quarterback on office blue 42. Hey, rep, my mama want you to wave at her. What?

Hey, Miss Parker. Listen to the Clippers show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back at East Kentucky Sports Radio here at KS. Bar and Grill. 859-280-2287. It's Ask Anything Wednesday. We got the delay fixed right now. So go ahead and come on in and give us a shout. I think the biggest non-parking news at my house is that UK announced that they're bringing Grove Street back. After a one-week hiatus, there will be once again a whole lot of money. And I can't say the rest of it. But that will all be at the game. Apparently the statement given to KSR, the website, Drew, was we weren't trying to, you know, not,

we weren't making a change. We just thought the atmosphere needed a change. That makes no sense to me. But either way, they're bringing it back. Are you glad that this one-week crisis is gone? I am. I don't know why they went to Limbiscuit instead. People asked what lip biscuit song it was.

It was at least rolling. It wasn't, you know, they were trying to get them going. Yeah, Grove Street, they did. I think they even were overplaying it a little bit, but you can't just completely take it away out of nowhere, especially someone had shared a video of the intro, which is like the raw audio of the team running in. I couldn't even tell the sound.

It sounded like one of those NFL themes we had, like just generic bumper music you get. So I'm glad they're making sure WakaFlock us back next week. You know, we've said it many times. are very few things we do at Krogerfield that's kind of our thing. Grove Street is kind of our thing. It's one of the few things we have that we can say it's our thing. And it wasn't just a game day decision.

Like they knew earlier in the week that the cheerleaders knew they weren't going to play it. Wait a minute. Is this scoop? I think, well, scuttle butt. So wait a minute, the scuttle butt is the cheerleaders were told earlier in the week. No, Groves. How the world could you know that? I have my cheerleaders.

I have my cheerleaders. How would you know that? I don't remember who told me. Somebody told me yesterday. Don't remember who told you. Look at true. I mean, we know his scoop has a wide reach, but I didn't think it was the cheerleaders. You didn't think you got the cheerleaders pre-game talk.

Cheerleaders knew going into the game. The Grove Street was not going to be played. All right. So now there must have been a lot of emails sent to Mitch for there to be this. Oh, yeah. For there to be this quick of a. decision. But that's good. Hopefully it will, it will ramp up. I mean, I said yesterday, I'd never gotten more messages about the atmosphere. They continued, after we talked about it

yesterday, continue with people saying, terrible atmosphere, terrible atmosphere, do you think this will make it better? I think so they had to have heard so much. I was there and I kind of thought it was bad, but we're enclosed. I'm not really shouldn't be the judge, but I got so many messages in our message board online had so many people complaining about it that I knew it was an overall problem. I haven't seen people complaining unified and complained about one thing like that in a long time. They were very upset with the music and the overall experience. Yeah, so hopefully that makes it better.

Now we've got to get ready for the game. All right, so it's a 10 point, 10 point spread. You know, give me a percentage chance cutter bowling plays. I mean, I heard you, and I say this with love, you weren't the only one saying it, but I heard people saying, oh, there'll be packages for cutter bowling. There were no packages. I hear that every year. I will never, ever believe that during the Mark Stoops area,

that there will be packages beyond third one and put in a quarterback to dive and get a touchdown. Beyond that, I don't expect there to be packages. With that said, you think there's a chance he could play Saturday if things don't go well? I'd say there's a chance, maybe a small chance. I thought we might seem last Saturday. So if you're giving a percentage chance, I'd get a 10, 15% chance.

Stoops acted like yesterday still a possibility. I mean, he didn't say, yes, we're going to play him if things don't go well. But he also didn't just completely slam the door on that being a potential move. Yeah, I'd still go at least for week two very low. I'll say like 4%. Now, if Kowzada hasn't done something a few weeks after that, I think you think long and hard. But week one, even though Kowzada didn't win a lot of people over, I also don't know that he was the big problem.

He had a couple throws that were just on the fingertips. You know, Rodriguez fumbles, maybe his best play, had him in scoring territory, and a lot of I thought was on the play calling. So I give Calzada a little bit longer before I started thinking about sitting him. So I ask you this right at the end of the show yesterday. You know, if that's the best you're going to get from Calzada,

why don't you go to Cutter and can build for your future then? Well, I don't necessarily disagree with you. So I guess what I would say is if that is the best that you can get, then I do think there's an argument that you go with Cutter. I'm not convinced that a kid after one game in his first new offense, we just say, well, that's the best we can get from him. I think you've got to give him a chance. I think you'll know more after this week.

I mean, if he's able to do nothing, because you've got to remember about Ole Miss, even though they're good, like really, really good on offense, their defense gives up points. I mean, they always give up points. So if we're not able to score on them or we're not able to pass the ball, you know, then I think you start to say, okay, well, what's the, what's the rationale for continuing it? And he's denying it, but it's a big game for him. When he was A&M's quarterback, he went to Oxford.

It was the top 15 matchup. I think both were still in SEC contention. And he threw a pick two interceptions in the fourth quarter. One was a pick six that basically ended the game. So he denies that Ole Miss is circled, but it's the lowest point of his career playing against Kiffin in that team, even though it was four or five years ago. Kiffin said in the press conference, that game still eats at me every day. And it's clear that was, you know, you often like to sit and think, okay, well, what does their fan base think about it? There's this belief.

I think they all still love Lane Kiffin, but they have a belief of, yeah, I don't know if he's ever going to take us to the promise land. and if you were to look and say, what is the game that makes Old Miss fans the most pessimistic about them? I think they would say it's the Kentucky game. I mean, I think that you talk about circling a date. They have circled this date all year, right? And no doubt about it, Stoops out-coached him last year.

Matter of fact, the last couple times they've played Ole Miss, Stoops and the staff has done a great job preparing for Lane Kiff's crazy offense that he runs a lot of time. So I think it is kind of become a little personal for Lane Kiffin to try to prove that he could. someday finally beat Stoops in the UK? I would say this. I came into the post-game show the other night saying,

well, I think you give, Nick, I think you give Calzada, Zach, two more games. And then if it doesn't work out, you do the by-week and consider it. Then somebody made a good point of, well, I mean, what's Eastern Michigan really going to tell you? I mean, they're bad. It's not going to tell you anything. So, I mean, if you think that change needs to be made, let Cutter play the Eastern Michigan game. You get his feet under him, then he has a week off.

That makes some sense to me. Now, I don't want to give up on Calzot at all. I still think you've got a better chance to win with him, but he's got to show something this week, Drew. I do think that. Yeah, I think you get him in against Eastern Michigan no matter what, unless heck it's a close game. But I think you go into that game, planning to play both,

get Cutter as many looks as you can, just in case for the future. Yeah. Ask anything Wednesday. 859-2-80-22. We will take your calls. Billy's here is going to try to change over so that we don't have a delay. Cross your fingers. Billy goes to work during the break here.

When we come back, we'll be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back, Techie Sports Radio. 859-280-2287. It is Ask Anything Wednesday. By the way, we have an announcement coming at 11 o'clock, and we just like everybody, be ready. It's a big announcement for us, 11 a.m. I should have said that off the top, but I need to talk about the parking.

situation. So 11 a.m. We have, be listening, so make sure to tune in at the top of the hour, Ryan Lipper. Yeah, you kind of teased our folks that are here. They kind of know what's coming. It's kind of a big deal. You all better not tell anybody. You guys know right here, ma'am, I'm going to be watching you

looking down over there. I'm going to be watching you. If it gets tweeted out, I'm going to know who's faulted it is. This is Santa Monica guy. He went and had his massage. How was that? A little hanky Panky with the couples massage there. It was awesome, good. I'm glad to hear it.

859-280-2287. One person writes, Matt, how do we know Nick Kousada won't do anything after this game? We should just go ahead and go to Cutter Bowley now. Well, I mean, he's played one game. How can you say, how do you know? I mean, I love Cutter.

I think he's got a good future. He played a couple games. We didn't get a lot of accomplished then either. So, I mean, there's not, if you're going to judge, I don't understand how you can judge Zach Kauzah on one game and Cutter on Mo. I just got to let it play out a little bit. Yeah, I'm like everyone else.

I wasn't exactly blown away by 80-something yards, but I don't know if you bench him after that either. Like I said, I thought he had a couple good throws that just missed the mark. The one early to Hester, I thought we had something good going. That one gets taken away. The other one explosive play fumbled away, so it wasn't all completely on him, even though I still want to see more from him.

Another person on Ask Anything Wednesday, and I've gotten a bunch of these, as Matt, are you all not going to be? going to say anything about the UK stunt team member. Well, I mean, it's awful, but what are you going to say? I mean, it's awful. Like, it's, I'm not, you know, ultimately on this talk show, we're trying to make conversations that are interesting or whatever conversations, and that's just terribly sad. And it's in the news. I mean, I don't know what you say, except to say it's awful. And for people who don't know that you can, you can look it up. But it's not hiding.

I mean, the same thing's true about UK running back, Jamarian Wilcox. I believe he has a court date this morning. If you look, it's awful, too. What are you going to say? I mean, I think we just have to kind of let these things resolve themselves and say, it's terrible, you know. It is very, very sad what happened, both instances. And it just, I always feel bad for the families, you know, the families of these kids.

They're kids. They're 19, 20, 21-year-old kids make a mistake. and it's extremely sad. And, you know, potential victims. I mean, that to me is you have to feel sad about it. But I don't really know beyond that what else you can say. What's next? Rick, we got to ask anything.

What's first? Tyrone is up first. Tyrone. Go ahead, Tyrone. Hey, Matt. You were talking about the equestrian easement? Yes. All right.

I don't know if you remember. Remember at Transylvania around the university, there's a lot of houses that have coach houses. And that's where, you know, people kept horses. And there's still an actual working horse farm on Fifth Street. There's a horse farm on Fifth Street, like a full farm? I don't know how big it is, but they had horses down there. You could go there and ride. And I remember the kid, there was a guy.

Did you know that? Did you know you could ride horses on Fifth Street? No clue. Well, there you go. Now we know what these folks will do after the show. They can go ride horses on Fifth Street. The guy that owned the property, I would, as a kid, see him ride down to Broadway on a horse. On a horse.

Not every day. Well, he's allowed to do it. Well, I appreciate the call. I also somebody told me there's a pony in like Tate's Creek. Just walking around Tate's Creek area or something? I mean, I think it has a guide or something. I don't think he's just hanging out himself. But like there's somebody or maybe in Chevy Chase or something.

I think there's one off Clay's Mill somewhere. I'm trying to picture it, but I've heard people talk about it. I don't know the exact spot. Yeah. One person writes, Matt, don't make fun of the brand that Ryan's wearing. It's a luxury brand is actually quite nice, except that's not what he's wearing. He's wearing a knockoff. Let's see what your brand is.

Your brand is, it looks to be, now this is how you know you got high quality. It looks to be brandless. Oh, see? It looks to be like you don't even have a brand. Yeah. That's good. What do you? What do you even give into these corporations?

Where did you get that, by the way? Yuga Girl got it for me from a birthday. I think they're saying the shorts are the high-end brand. Those are a little highfalutin. Okay. Well, except they're not either. Didn't you say it was a knockoff of them? No, these are Viori.

Yeah, he and Livy. Oh, look at you. Got the V on there. All right, good. Let me hang out a lot together. Please stop. What's next? Got Bill up next.

Go ahead, Bill. Yeah, Matt. Regarding the in-game experience, I don't know if I'm the only one that really gets frustrated about this, but when there is a call that's being questioned, we don't get any replays. Hate it. For two or three minutes, and it's, you know, you pay to go to the game, and if I were sitting at home, I get to watch five different replays from four different angles, but it's very frustrating at the game, that's all.

Totally agree with you. That drives me crazy, Bill, for the people here who can't hear. He said he doesn't like that you don't get replays at the game. I hate it. I don't get it. Like, why? First of all, that does not have. happen at other stadiums.

And Old Miss last year, you remember you had the question about whether or not that was a catch. They showed it over and over. Why don't we do that here? I tried looking into this last night. I found Mississippi State, Nalen, Texas, all the big ones, obviously. But like even Starkville, Oxford, they all have replays. Why don't we have replays? I haven't yet found out about Vandy, but so far every school I've looked at has live in stadium replay.

And it would help you know whether or not taboo or not, like, literally, you know, Sometimes I think fans get mad at calls that if they saw the replay, they wouldn't get mad. But if you don't see the replay. That was part of the problem on Saturday that I think it was the Hester catch. It had a long review, and there was just nothing going on in the stadium. We're thinking we just kicked off the season. So they were just looking at each other. They didn't show that Hester review?

I don't think so. I was sitting talking to people with me in the press box about how Texas, Ohio State's on right now, and we're sitting here with just downtime. I want you to think about that. Like, that is a matter. massive play in the game. It's a long pass. He catches it. His elbow is out of bounds. But if you're the fan, you don't even know that. And you have created for the people at the game and experiences is objectively worse than they would have on television. On television, they could see the replay. They actually would know whether or not he was in bounds. And the people that have paid you money, you have created a worse experience for them. I just don't understand that, right? Well, I still saw complaints from Saturday. People just trying to check other schools. on their phones. It's like I'm on an island at a UK game. And if there's downtime in

UK game, we're just sitting there. And they can't say that that's normal because it does not happen in the other stadiums, at least the ones I've been to. I mean, the old Miss game, that Barry and Brown catch, I remember them reviewing it and the crowd was mad. And then they watched it. They were like, I think he did catch it actually. So we're just going to have to kind of deal with. This has been an internal Kentucky decision. It goes back 20 years. I mean, that's just something they've decided. But why? I don't know. I don't know what the decision was made, but they've stuck with it for this whole time. I hate it.

And again, it's part of the general, the people that make decisions about experience for fans do not think of the fans. They think of covering themselves. And they think of making sure that either the refs don't get criticism or the coaches don't get criticism. And they do not think of the people who pay for the games. And I don't understand it. There is no logical.

reason not to have replays, except to protect the refs, right? Like, that would be the only reason to protect the referees. And, I mean, they're big boys and girls. They can handle it. So I get carried away, but it plays like Texas, another different level. But, like, some places cut into other games, like on the TV. Slow down. Like, look what's happening over here in the conference.

All right, LSU and Clemson, of course, played Saturday. Yep. I like coaches fighting, and I especially like coaches. coaches fighting that are fighting with Dabo because he's the worst. Dabo made a statement that I don't think he was necessarily trying to offend anyone, but I think he was trying to take up for his team. And here's what he said about the LSU-Climson game. It was a hell of a game, came down to last play.

Right out of the gate, it's like getting the final exam on day one. Looks like to me they made a 65, we made a 58, neither one of us were great. So he gave LSU like a D minus, right? Now, I don't think Brian Kelly liked Dabo's comment giving his team a 65. Here's what Brian Kelly said. I think we dominated them in the second half. So he's a really, really, really hard grader for giving himself a 58,

or he's a really hard grader on us. Or maybe he didn't see the second half, which that might be the case. maybe he didn't want to see the second half. I like that. Oh, you must be a really positive grader for your team and a hard grader. You say it was 6558, we dominated you. And he's right. They beat them 14-0-0 in the second half,

and I would argue it was actually 21-0-th. They took a touchdown away from Barry and Brown that should have been a touchdown. But Brian Kelly didn't seem to like that comment. I watched the video yesterday, and I don't like Brian Kelly. I will immediately turn off anything Brian Kelly, including that Netflix show that started with him. But I enjoyed him kind of clapping back at Davo there. It's like two coaches I don't like are fighting,

so I'm just going to sit back with my popcorn and watch this. Yeah, I think most people, those are the two coaches they like the least, and here they are they're yapping and chirping at each other. But I don't know how can say about LSU. Shut them out on their home field, the whole second half. They dominated Clemson the second half. A little better than a 65D minus. I like that he said, though, you must be a good grader to give yourself a 58.

Hey, you guys deserve like a 25, Davo. Too many coaches play nice and just don't want to create headlines. I like when they go back. I do more of it. And they go back. Clipson goes there next year. So I like that. That's just going to add to the environment, the atmosphere.

All right. This can be a big sporting weekend. After your couple's massage, you could have a weekend. Let me tell you what you would do. Kentucky games obviously Saturday. But Friday, the Lexington Soccer Club plays against North Carolina. Carolina FC and it's dollar 50 beer night. Then Sunday, it's college night.

Okay, maybe not that one for you. But nevertheless, it's women's Super League versus Brooklyn FC. Wow. So there you go. Powered by her night Lexington Sporting Club, Friday and Saturday, and two-time Olympic goalkeeper and FIFA World Cup champion goalkeeper Brianna Scurry will headline a special panel ahead of the game. Panel runs from 1245 to 115 and is open to all-match day.

ticket holders, led by Louisville native and reigning Super League player of the year. Amina Eckich, don't miss your chance to witness history at Lexporting.com. You could go to a sporting event all three days in Lexington this coming weekend. The people that go out there love it. Love the environment. I think it's really kind of catching on, and I hope it does. We'll take a break and be right back. We're here at KS Bar and Grill.

It's Wings Day. We'll open up here in just an hour here in 15 minutes here on Kentucky Sports Radio. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind.

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, 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. Join me, Kear Gaines, is we have real conversations about healing, growth, fatherhood, pressure, and purpose on my new podcast, Learn the Hardway.

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 gonna 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.

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 run up the court, licking his fingers why he got the ball. Like, after you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball.

So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What's up, guys, this is Clifford Taylor the 4th. And on my podcast, The Clivert Show, I'm bringing you conversations about all kinds of stuff. Like being an internet famous referee. We're in the middle of a game. This linebacker, this guy, this linebacker walks up to me. He goes, hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her.

What? My mom, quarterback on office blue 42. Hey, Brett, my mama want you to wave at her. What? Where's she at? Hey, Ms. Parker. Listen to the Clifford Show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back.

It is Kentucky Sports Radio here live at KS Bar and Grill, Wings Day, Dollar Wings all day and night. Come see us. Tomorrow night, NFL starts, what is the Eagles, Cowboys. Is that right? First game of the year. 820. We're going to have big drink specials here. We'll tell you more about it as we come.

And also sponsored by Cornbread Hemp, Thursday Night Football. which is always a fun time here. I suspect the Eagles will be the favorite again to win the Super Bowl, but the Cowboys now, they're just reeling after that Micah Parsons trade, but that's all we hear. You turn on the national radio. It's all about the Cowboys still. Ask anything Wednesday.

One person writes, Matt, why do you always put an H in wearing? It's not wearing. It's wearing. I guess I do do that, don't I? Waring? Do I say it with an age? We're using a sentence. I was wearing.

clothes. You know, I've never noticed that. No, I had never noticed it either. Well, look, everybody has a different way to pronounce it. Now, Tom Hart writes in and says, why does Ryan walk like Joe Biden? All right, actually,

you know what? He kind of does. Okay, I want, I, go look. Mario put a video out yesterday for Wingsday where Ryan's walking and he does kind of walk like Joe Biden. His hands are kind of to the side like a duck.

I gotta go watch this. Go watch this video. I saw the video, but I didn't notice Joe in real time. I'll have to. No, I mean, Ryan, Tom Hart's right. Like, why do you walk like that? We're just two good old boys from Scranton. Hey, hey, hey, big blue, go big blue.

Hey, you know, my sister in Los Samonesboro. Hey, go big blue. Just a good old boy from Scranton. I see it a little bit. No, he does. Tom Hart's right. I'd never noticed it. But you also, I love when you try to act.

Yeah. Like the thing I like, about that video is like you just you become when you become an actor you're like a different personality you're like so who likes wings or flats and then your hands are flapping out to the side like you look like a duck yeah or a penguin definitely not an actor and uh never did have to try to be one you did start a debate though online because you all were debating for wings day whether you like wings or flats and which one did you pick i pick drumsticks or drumsticks or flat Yeah, yeah, but and Mason picked wing, the flats.

I didn't know that there were people that liked flats. Oh, big controversy. And then I put that out, and like there's a lot of people that like them. Why? They're objectively, like, when we get wings here, I sometimes am like, hey, you know, I kind of own this place. Throw me a couple extra drumsticks here. I know people that will go out and it's flats only. Flats only.

Why? What makes a, what's the pearl? of the flat. Isn't they say they're supposed to taste better? They're juicier because they're a little juicier. I'd probably lean drums, but like I said, I know people that will go out and make extra drums are flat drums. Yeah, because I like the grizzle. No, I mean the fry, whatever, the thing, you know, the stuff, right? Well, they're just easier to eat. You can hold the drumstick on the end and the flat. You got to dig in there and dig it out your tongue. I put online, I was amazed how many people

are pro flats. Some people don't like the, there can be a lot more chicken on the drumstick, too, went to the skin. Maybe, but the skin's better than chicken if we're being honest. It's not good for you, but it's... I know. I'm with you. All right, who's up next? Chris is up next. Chris, go ahead, Chris.

Yeah, I personally don't talk about the quarterbacks. I don't think either quarterback we have can succeed in this offensive coordinator's scheme. I don't know if there's a quarterback in the country that could succeed in his scheme. I would recommend put Kendrick Law back there in the wildcat and see what happens. You're already putting us in the wildcat. We're one game into it. How are we already in the

wildcat? Because if Butler can't beat out the quarterback we've got in there right now, he can't play in this system either. I just don't like the O.C. I don't think he has any direction. I think he's like a cat chasing his tail, and I don't think we're ever going to succeed with him back there. And that's just my personal opinion. So why not put it in the playmaker's hand? we have a shot every play. It's not going to be a 10-second slow developing running play that's going to lead to a safety for goodness sakes. I appreciate to call. Well, we know where you stand. You know, I'm not saying putting Kendrick Law as the Wildcat quarterback, but I do work.

I mean, Bush Hamden system does, I don't get it. I mean, I hope to be proven, if not wrong, at least to have my mind sort of proven. But I haven't seen anything yet. in his year and a game that makes me understand, even understand what he's trying to do. Like go back to Skangarrel. It didn't work, but I at least know what he was trying to do. I can't figure out what Bush is trying to do. No, and I think it's completely fair to have those questions.

I think most fans do. Kendrick Law, quarterback, I think we might be a little early on going that far into it. But looking at last Saturday, I just felt like the only time they'd throw is like they were going deep. I didn't go to the middle of the field much, and I thought they were going to do whatever it took to get Kendrick Law to ball. I thought we would see him on screens, all kinds of motions,

and felt like he was a complete non-fact. We mentioned, like, one target. I mean, they spent multiple millions of dollars on the wide receivers and really didn't do anything to get them involved in the game. That's the part that's hard for me to understand. You spend this money on these playmakers. You know, I'm sure Macklin was not cheap to have come back. Kendrick Law, a lot of schools wanted him.

So you've got to assume they spent some money and then, like, you would think getting the ball, like, you did that for a reason. You want them to have the ball. You guys say something yesterday that I heard a couple times that really they were having a hard time getting open, that Toledo's D-Bs were, you know, closing them down. But if we can't get open against Toledo D-B, even though there may be NFL caliber guys, what are we going to do the rest of the SEC schedule? Law is not a great route runner as it is.

You get him open and just get him the ball and watch him work. I thought he did none of that. He was a little hurt in camp. Maybe he's a little late getting caught back up, but I expected a lot more. I had to say I had somebody who watched the game who really follows football, tell me they broke it down and said we only ran 18 plays in the game. Like there were only 18 different plays, and even when it looked, it was sometimes it was just a play flip, go right instead of left. They said that's one of two things. Either we don't have a team that can execute more or we were holding stuff back.

Uh-huh. By inclination is, it's hard for us to hold stuff back when we could have lost the game. But maybe, you know, what do you think when you hear it real quick, only 18 plays? I think Stoves would like to hold a little bit back. Well, I hope you're right about that. We will take a break and come back. We got an announcement here in just a second. Hour number two coming back on Kentucky Sports Radio.
