Welcome back. Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-2802287. Text machine 772-774525-4. It is Ask Anything Thursday, got a couple things. First of all, that group right there in the back. That's a, is that a Dad's Weekend T-shirt, I see? I can see it. I can tell the dad-daughter dynamic at the bar. Like, you were like, where do I go eat with my dad? And then you come here.

Like, I see that. That's a very common one here. Parents' weekends, like, next weekend, right? But for your sorority, it's Dad's Weekend. See, I can always see it. So, Dad, thank you very much for. for coming out this way. No better place for dad to take the daughter than KS. Bar and Grill. That's exactly right. I see that

and then my man right here is getting married tomorrow in Rock Castle County. First of all, round of applause. Getting married in Rock Castle. Now, that's very exciting. So I said, man, where are you getting married in Rock Castle County? And he gave me the most

Rock Castle County answer of all time. He said we're getting married at our yard sale. In front of their house. for the yard sale. You decided, let's not get married and have a yard sale. Let's combine them into one thing. I like that.

Nothing says love like selling some old t-shirts. Yes. So here's the thing. You're not going to get married. You're going to make a profit. Wow. That's smart. Pay for that wedding.

That's exactly what you want to do. That's capitalism and it's fine. You know, I've heard a lot of crazy locations for weddings. at a neighbor at your front yard yard sales is one I've not heard before. By the way, this segment is brought to you by SurfPro. Number one's choice in cleanup and restoration, whether it's mold, fire, storm, or water damage. Surf Pro will come in and make it like it never happened. They sponsor Surf Pro the umpire challenge in the ballpark.

Did you know that they do that at the Reds? No. When there's a challenge? Surf Pro sponsors it and Surf Pro shows the replay, which we don't do at UK Games. Oh, we need to get that sponsorship at Croger Field. That's right. ServePro also has the first responder bowl coming December 26. It is servepro and servepro.com. S-E-R-V-P-R-O.com. I got to say something about them. I heard me talk about my basement getting flooded. They called me just to double check. Say, hey, you need anything? We heard you guys talk about it on the radio show. That's nice. Super nice. That's good customer relations right there.

Text machine. Let's just ask anything Thursday. A couple of hypotheticals here. Matt, to expand on the Vandy and Louisville scenario, what if the Louisville game comes down to a field goal with time. I'm expiring. If we hit it, we go five and seven and beat Louisville, but if we miss it, we're four and eight. These scenarios are crazy. What would you prefer? Hit it, take five and seven, bring him back

the next year. End on a high note, bringing him back. Hit it. First of all, I'm never going to cheer for us not to beat Louisville on a field goal. Never. But it would be ironic for sure. Shannon, what do you choose? Oh, we want to hit the field goal and be a little.

But, you know, like the scenario came up years ago with that Mississippi State game. It did, but that was midway through the season, though. That wasn't the end. But still kind of talking about that could have saved his job, you know, on a field goal. Yeah, no, you're right. So it's interesting. To me, you got to hit the field goal. Here's a question.

Matt, what would you say is the best and worst thing about the city of Lexington and the state? and the city of Louisville. I like that question. It's a good question for you. And we can't, nobody can say the same thing. So let's start with Lexington. What's the best thing, Ryan, about Lexington? And it has to be something specific.

It can't be like, oh, everybody likes each other. Like, it's got to be something specific. Damn, that took my answer away. It's got to be something. It's got to be something. The best thing about Lexington. Best thing about Lexington. I think Lexington is very diverse, and I'm kind of proud of that.

You know, our relations with all generations, nationalities. I'm very proud of my city that they're very diverse. I say the best thing about Lexington is that the university is centered around it. So Kentucky's Lexington is centered around Lexington. So like if you go to Louisville, it doesn't feel, you don't feel the University of Louisville when you go to Louisville. You know what I'm saying? No, I think that's probably right. I think that's probably right.

It's more of a college town. Lexington is more of a college. I would say the best thing about Lexington is its size. because it's still small enough that you see people you know and you feel a bond, but it's big enough that it's not like suffocating and there are things to do, and it has like an airport. More community here. This size, which is probably what?

400,000 people, is that what we're at? Pretty close, I'd say. This size, I think, is a really good size for a city. So that's what I would say. Shannon, what about you? I mean, you guys live there in Lexington, so you got better answers than I do. I think Lexington is actually a beautiful city. It is pretty well, yeah, with the horse farms and all that.

I would say just the, you know, the sites. Now what's the worst part about Lexington? I'm going first so you can't say it. No, don't say it. I'm going to say it. The traffic. This is the worst. This is the worst traffic for a city that is not huge of anywhere in the United States.

There are places with worst traffic. D.C. has worse traffic. Chicago has worse traffic. New York at times has worse traffic. But there is no worse traffic for a city of this size anywhere in the United States, in my opinion. Because it's just not designed to have as many people as we have here. So I'm going to say the worst traffic. What about you?

Well, of course, that's what I was going to pick. I was going to pick traffic. I went first. So I'm going to say, we all get asked this question. Hey, I'm coming in from out of town. I've got an 8-year-old, 11-year-old. What are some things I can take my kids to do? There's really not a lot of options for kids around in Lexington.

There's really not. What are you going to do? Take them to a park, take them bowling, take them to Gattie Town. Well, what would there be in other places? Like, where would you, like, what would you say go do in Knoxville? I don't know, Knoxville. But any city. What would you say?

Knoxville has a zoo. Okay. So you want a zoo? I want a zoo. I guess I can send him to your neighborhood, go to Gatton Park and walk around there. If you want a zoo, there's horse places. Yeah, for eight, nine, ten, eleven-year-old boys, there's just, well, you know, I always have struggled with what I want to tell them to do.

Okay. What about you, Mario? Can I just say the traffic lights? No. The traffic lights are just terrible. Traffic lights are not different than traffic. That doesn't count. If I had to pick one, I like Lexington a lot.

I'd probably say, I wish it was a little bit bigger if I had to change. You wish it was a little bit bigger. A little bit bigger in size. All right. Shannon, what about you? From what I could tell, it feels like Lexington has limited nightlife. Like other than KS Bar and Grill, like, I would like KS Bar and Grill. I would like KS Bar.

Listen, you are exactly right. Yeah. Lexington has almost no nightlife if you're single and like over 24. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's all college bars. These are basically all bars are overtaken by college students. So you, no, that's, to me, next to traffic, that is the worst thing about Lexington. All right.

Best thing about Louisville. I'll go first. Food. For a city of its size, Louisville's got the best food choices. I struggle to outside of, you know, obviously the big cities have more choices. If you're talking about a city, the size of Louisville, I'd be interested how many have better food choices than Louisville. Louisville's got everything food-wise, every kind of nationality. Food-wise, Louisville not crushes it.

What about you, Shannon? For me, it's the concerts. Like having North America's biggest rock festival, louder than life, and bourbon and beyond. They do, yeah. A lot of great music venues. For me, it's the music scene. Okay, what about you? I think the Elm Center is one of the best gymnasium stadiums,

where you want to call it, in the country. I think it's awesome. I think they built it perfect. Great size. Great size. Every, no matter where you sit. Luxury areas, good views. I agree with that.

I'm going scenic route. So I like the skyline of Louisville. Like right by the Ohio River with the bridges, I think it's beautiful. I agree with you. That is really pretty right on the river. river with the city. I would also note Louisville's got, if you like parks, there are very few cities with more parks and greenery in the center of them than Louisville is.

You know, like Cherokee parks right in the middle of the city, and it's beautiful and big. Is that the park by you? That's a part by me. Okay, yeah. All right, what about worst? For me, I got to think about this. Oh, I know one. The Louisville Zoo stinks.

You just said you wanted Lexington to have a zoo And now you're crushing the Louisville Zoo Why are you doing, man? The Cincinnati Zoo is awesome, the Louisville Zoo What is it about you and Zoo? I've been a lot You act like zoos are the most important thing in the world You say it stinks, I mean it's a bunch of animals

pooping and peeing all over the place What do you expect them to smell like? Yeah, it's poorly designed It's just not put together very well So you think this Louisville Zoo smell The Louisville Zoo needs much improvement I'll tell you what smells is downtown. It's dirty.

It's dirty downtown. That's my worst thing about world. So that's your worst dirty downtown? It stinks when you drive by it. Don't you think it's gotten better though in the last year or two? I think Craig Greenberg's done a good job trying to, but it's an uphill battle. I mean, I will say right after COVID in like 2021 and 2022, I thought Louisville's downtown was like really just awful and falling apart. And I think it's gotten much better.

in the last two years. And there are parts of it that are nice. I do agree the combination of the river and just there's a stench to downtown Louisville. You are right about that. Although it's not as bad as it was. What about you, Maher? I'm probably going to say, well, every big city has this.

I'll probably say danger. Yeah. It's really dangerous. In parts of it. Some parts of it. Some parts of it. Most of it is not, but there are parts of it that I think you would say. Yeah, got to be careful.

Yeah. About you? I mean, I really like Louisville. I think the problem I would say is that Louisville is very, very segregated. Not just, it is segregated racially, but it's also segregated economically. Like the people all live out and the, you know, every part of town is almost unfortunately, even though it's very diverse, the rich people live out. out in the, you know, Oldham County suburbs.

You've got the 7th Street divide between, that goes back, you know, a long time. I live in kind of a hippie area. Then you've got the sort of working class, wide area out, Dixie and Preston. It's just, I feel like it's very segregated, which causes the city to fight. Like, Lexington does not fight amongst itself nearly as much as Lulph. Yeah. And I think a lot of that is people live in these segregated groups. and it makes them distrust the other groups, which leads to a lot of fighting.

Because, like, Louisville is a more liberal city than Lexington, but they fight much more with each other, right? Because the conservatives in Louisville are very conservative, and the liberals are very Louisville, and they fight. Whereas in Lexington, I feel like everybody kind of gets along. Do you agree with that? I do agree. I think in Lexington, we all kind of get along, both sides seem to coexist. I remember Adam Edelon tell me many years ago when I was thinking about running. He was like, The thing you need to remember about Lexington and Louisville, the difference is he was like, Louisville people want to argue, and Lexington people just want to live and be happy. And he meant that, though, like Louisville people are standing up for their causes. Yeah.

Whereas Lexington people are just like, hey, things are pretty good. Can we all just, like, they don't ruin it. That's kind of how they are. And I think that's true. But you live in both cities. I think that's true. Louisville people are Louisville politics and Louisville's it's just on

edge whereas in Lexington you know we're a pretty liberal city I think Linda Gorton is a Republican isn't she I'm not sure actually That's the thing the fact that you don't know It's what I'm saying like nobody even really knows I think that's actually a good thing I think that what Adam Eland said about both cities are dead on accurate

We do we're hearing Lexington we do just trying to want to get by Be happy don't want to ruffle any feathers so to speak But if you were to say to me okay, I'm in college. Where should I live? I would say Lexington. If you were to say to me I'm 25, where should I live? Louisville.

I'd probably say Louisville. If you were to say to me I'm 35 in a professional where would I live, I might still say Louisville, but then if you were to say to me, I have a family, where should I move? I'd probably say Lexington. You know, so I think everything it just depends. Well, Lexington is growing exponentially going into that, you know, Woodford County, Scott County, Clark County, kind of expanding and getting bigger and bigger.

And I think that's a good thing for growth. That's your Louisville and Lexington. That was a good little segment. Breakdown. We will take a break. Take your calls. Be right back. Last night, a blown call changed a game.

Welcome to my new podcast, Learn the Hard Way with me, your host, and your favorite therapist, Kier Games. And in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, I'm bringing over a decade of my own experience in the mental health field and conversations with so many incredible guests. I'm talking, Tripp Fontaine, Ryan Clark. Sometimes when we're in the pursuit 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 here 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.

Open your free IHartRadio 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 defining the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed.

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

And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nass would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court licking his fingers while he got the ball. Like, you go through a training camp with that, Isaiah. You figure it out real quick. Oh, yeah.

Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everyone.

I know we annoyed a lot of our listeners by our severe lack of survivor knowledge. That is the point of the show. I'm just going to remind you. I have watched some survivor. I obviously haven't watched enough. Did people not like it? Like what was just because we? Yeah.

We'll be recapping the big conclusion of the 50th season from the final attempts at gameplay to the desperate pleas of finalists to a bunch of ha who. Again, we are experts. So make sure to tune in a pod meets Twitter. world for all our Survivor 50 takes. Listen to Podmeets Tworold on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back, Tughey Sports Radio.

All right, a couple things written. People are right. Bad thing about Lexington. Very true. Airport. Terrible. Good one. No flights out of here and they're all a bajillion doll.

Always more expensive. Cincinnati and Cincinnati and Louisville so much easier to fly out of in Lexington. airport's a big thing. You can't fly anyone here, and it's so expensive wherever you go. Thankfully, yeah, Louisville and Cincinnati are both just about an hour drive away because you can save yourself a lot of money. Did you see the interview with the woman? If you want to see a bad politician interview,

look at the interview with the woman running for governor in California. I don't know if you saw this. What she did? It's not good. Her name is Katie Porter. All right. She's running for Democratic nomination with Gellonbury in California. If you want to, who's a what's what of this is not how you do an interview, go watch her.

Really? They ask her some questions. She's very hostile with the interviewer. And then they showed an interview from a few years ago where she screams at her staffer in the middle of the interview. It goes, get out of my shot. It is a little incorrect. And she was like, get out of my shot. I think she'll lose the election because of that.

I think she was like the favorite for the nomination. You remember I said this. I think she's going to lose it because of how mean she comes across in this. Well, for somebody like me, I have no idea what her policy is, what she's running on, but I'll remember that. That's what I think of you with this. Because you like, in a primary, you'd just be like, oh, that woman's mean. She's the one of your staffer.

I ain't voting for her. Yeah, really, really bad. We had an ask anything from here and here. They said, what team do you hate most in each sport? Let's go through them. College football, Tennessee. College basketball, Louisville, and then Duke. NBA Celtics.

NFL, Patriots. I hate the good teams. Yeah. Baseball? Baseball, I don't really hate Red Sox and hockey. I don't really care. Florida Panthers, I guess. What about you?

Who do you hate? Cowboys in football, Cubs and baseball. basketball is the Knicks Because I'm a Celtics guy Okay Yeah I thought you were a Pacer's guy Well I am a Pacer's guy

But I grew up like the Celtics and the Pacers both Uh Football I'm just because Football and basketball I got to pick Louisville I guess Louisville still do You have the Tennessee hate from where you grew up

It's more of a Louisville hate for a lot of us over here I mean Tennessee for me Even would be the highest in football In basketball Except I just I don't know we've kind of I don't hate Rick

Barnes, so it's harder for me to hate them. Yeah. What about you, Mario? College basketball, I'm probably going Duke. NFL, I don't really watch much NFL. I probably going Patriots, though, if I had to pick, and then you guys know I hate the Boston Celtics. Shannon knows he knows I hate Boston Celtics. I just hate him. I can't stand him.

Yeah, I'm kind of with you. I hate Boston fans. It's more Boston fans than the team. I really don't like Boston fans. What about you, Shannon? Baseball, Yankees, basketball, probably the magic because they were so good. The magic? Who hates the magic? Shaq.

Penny. Why would you hate the magic? You mean you hate Paulo Ben Chiro? I didn't like the Orlando Magic in the 90s. The Fogner Brothers? No, absolutely not. NFL, the Cowboys, and what you did college football, I guess probably, well, it's got to be Louisville. All right, well, there you go.

Good question. 859, 288. 2287. Did you see what happened at Stanford? A guy named, let me get his name right, Bradford Freeman. Bradford Freeman dies. He's a longtime Stanford alum and donor. He dies.

He gives $100 million to Stanford for NIL for football. Wow. No kidding. In his will. Somewhere he's got a son and a daughter that is mad as a hornet. What do you think about that? I mean, that's an amazing thing, isn't it? For Stanford football.

So, like, I mean, you would think that's going to, that should make them good soon. It's a lot of money. 100 million? If they're not good now, something's wrong. A hundred million to build your roster. Shannon, what are the chances, let's say you were worth a billion dollars. What are the chances you'd give $100 million for Stanford football? Or not for Stanford football.

I don't think you would give any for Stanford football, but for the team of your choice. Probably zero. Yeah. A hundred million? Because you don't even get to enjoy it. 10% of my worth your football team, no. Absolutely not.

You don't even get to enjoy it. No. Who's doing that? There's got to be something else behind that. How do not give that to his family? Why is he got to give the $100 million to Stanford football? Did he play there? Yeah, no, he was an alum and all that, but he still gave $100 million.

It's pretty amazing. Good good for Stanford football. So would you do it for Middlesboro Boys Golf, give a bunch of money in your will? What do you think Middlesbrough Boys Golf could do with $100 million? I don't know what could Stanford Football are going to do this. They could really build a course that's their own. There you go. You know, donate that money for them.

I would say if I was worth a billion dollars and I died, like right now I don't have any kids, right? So, I mean, is it, in theory, would I give some to the University of Kentucky athletics? Yeah. Yeah. I could see that. Would you give $100 million? What am I going to do with it? You give it to us?

Yeah. No, I mean, I would give some of it to you all. I would give some of it. I would set up a thing for people from Eastern Kentucky to go to college. I would set up some sort of foundation, but I could see giving like a little bit of money to... A hundred million? Yeah. I get to pick the players, though, from the gray.

I get to decide. It might be hard to do. Who's up next? Let's go to Scott. Scott. What's up, Scott? Hey, guys, got two questions. First one, how much stock are you going to put into the Purdue Kentucky exhibition game?

And second, if Mark Stubbs were to leave this year, what do you see his future days? How much? How much stock do you put into UK Purdue exhibition? Do you care if we win? Does it matter? It doesn't count. How much that's a great, I mean, it's coming up. How much stock you put in there?

I know it's an exhibition game, but I'm going to put a lot of stock in it because Purdue and Houston are everybody says the best two teams in the country. And if Purdue is the best team in the country, if we're able to play them down to the wire, even beat them or play them real close, I think I do put a lot of stock in that. Do you, if you're Mark Pope, do you play the game to win or do you play everyone? I think you play a lot of guys, but you're playing to win. play to win. Shannon, but those might be conflicting things.

Play to win and play everyone. No, you play to win this game. I think this is the measuring stick. I think a lot of people's opinion on how the season's going to go will probably be put into how well they play Purdue. I think you play it, like I think you play it like a real game and you're like trying to win. Yeah.

And you play who you're going to play. You know, you got those games at the beginning of the year against Nichols State and all that. That's when you can play everybody. Good point. I think when you play Purdue, Ryan, you're playing to win the game. I think you're putting the guys in, you're seeing what they do against a very difficult opponent. That's what I would do. You find out maybe what your rotations work, what rotations don't work,

with different, you know, put some guys in different spots. Yeah, you can do that in the nickel state game. Play this game to win it. Yeah. Yeah, 100%. I think it's a great test for Mark Pope. You get to see, like, who can do what and, you know, how your rotations might look. So I think you play to win.

All right, let's say we win. Are you playing in a final four trip? Yeah. We're Kentucky fans. But let's say we lose. Say we lose by 10. I think you take the game seriously. 859-28027.

We'll be right back. T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J. He'll make them pay. Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Well, 859-2802287. Text machine is 772.

775-254. Before we go back to phones, what do you think about Belichick? There were reports after our show went off the air yesterday. He wouldn't even get to coach Friday. Then he might be let go yesterday. And they play Friday night and he wouldn't even be at that game. Then things kind of shifted. Both the school and Belichick made a statement were committed to each other. You buy it? I saw this one story came out. I guess the interview some of the players, and it seemed like the players don't have necessarily a problem with Billichick. It's everybody else surrounding Billichick. Belichick. Not Billichick. Billichick. Billichick is combining their two names. Yeah. But it's like, you know, his son and all the people

he hired the general manager, that's the people they don't like being around. What if he had not let him go to the game Friday, shame? I mean, yeah, five games in and you don't let him go to the game. You don't even let him go Friday night. I'm kind of shocked, man. I don't, I don't. I don't and expect him to, like, man, are you guys not surprised that he? I'm surprised he's this bad. But they're not up too early. And it's five games into the season. He can still flip this thing around.

I know, but the stories about how the whole thing is falling apart. There's no organization. I mean, it's less, I mean, they're two and three. They got the same record we do. So it's not like they're, it's not like they're the worst team in the world. It's just surprising to me, Ryan, that this guy who was built on no distractions, organization, like all this stuff. It's surprising to me that it just seems like a complete cluster.

Maybe there's something new in his life that's distracting him a little bit. Who's running things behind the scenes. You really blame her. Why is it the woman's fault? Like, isn't it? Oh, I didn't say that. I thought maybe there might be something in his life that's maybe different than the past and maybe he can get him distracted a little bit.

Maybe he's not getting enough rest at home. I mean, I don't know what the situation is. He's an old man. She's keeping him up. all night. You all are. Oh, bad. 859-2-0-2287.

Text machine. Ask anything Thursday. What person writes, this question is for Matt and Shannon. Favorite Andy Griffith episode. Let's go for it. Shannon, what do you got? Oh, and Aunt B gets drunk off the moonshot.

Oh, Aunt B gets drunk. Yeah, and Andy comes home, and she's playing the piano, and she's singing, and she's Yeah. I like that one. Okay, I'll take the one with Freddie Fleet and his band with the beach. You like that one? Because isn't that the one with the Fourth of July parade, and then they sneak into the band?

I think, or those two different ones. The one with the town band where they can't play, you know what I mean? And then Barney thinks he's singing, but it's actually another guy. Ray Follister wasn't it, they're singing in the background? Yeah, and Barney thinks he's singing. Yeah, that's a good one. That's a really good episode. These two have no idea.

No, we don't. We know. Mario, do you even know what the Andy Griffith Show is? I do not. Oh, my gosh. Is that bad? It's bad for us. And I haven't.

Speaking of episodes. Hang on just a second. You've never heard. I mean, I've heard of the name, though. I've heard of the name sound familiar, but I've never seen the show. I mean, to be fair, there would be no reason for you to watch the Andy Griffith show. But have you, you've never seen it? No, I've never seen.

Can I just give you some TV shows and you tell me if you've ever seen one episode? Let's do it. Seinfeld. I haven't seen a full episode. I've seen, like, clips of it. Okay. I love Lucy. I've never seen that.

Brady Bunch. I've heard of it, never seen it. Okay. Friends. Seen clips, but never watched a full episode. You're so old. We are aging. We haven't seen any of these shows.

I haven't. Cheers. No, I haven't seen that. Wow. These are all shows like I watched diligently. So I shouldn't even go. go into like green acres. I don't know what that is.

Family matters. I've seen family matters. All right. There you go. Okay. Family matters. Full house. I've seen full house.

The original. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. So now we're getting into more your. Saved by the bell. You've seen saved by the bell.

Yeah. Okay. All right. Speaking of episodes, have you started your death note? Yes. I watched episode one of death note for Jaden Quaintens. How is it? it takes some

the whole anime thing is weird to me I don't understand why people like it but I did like the story the story is so you've seen this I haven't seen death note but typically like with anime storylines are not bad so the storyline is this guy finds a notebook all right so this is a good thought process

for you Ryan all right guy finds a notebook if he writes a name in the notebook the person will die within one minute of him arriving. So he gets it and thinks, I can make the world better by getting rid of all the bad people. It's a good story. So like serial killers, serial killers, et cetera, and they will have a heart attack if he writes the name in the notebook. So the first thing he does is they read about a serial killer on the loose that they can't

find. He writes his name in the notebook, and then he's dead. Dude society a favor What if you share a name with somebody Well no you say which one it is They're very clear I think the thing says you have to picture his face You have to picture his face in your head

While you're riding it in order for it to work Interesting So and then so he's like I'm going to use this for good To save the world And I think the theme is going to be once you have that power You'll go out of control That's just my guess

but do you, what do you think about that? Like if there was some, would you do that? Would you want to have the power that you could write a name? He can't do that. And the person would be, would go away? I could never do that. I could do. But what if it was like, it's 1939, would you write Hitler's name?

I think that might be one I would write. So you would like to have that power? Just for Hitler. We can't you just. And then I'm going to give the notebook to somebody else. What about for Schlitler? Well, wait a minute. Why would you?

Why would you want to give it to somebody else? Because he talks about that. At first he says, I want to give this to somebody else. And then he says, I trust myself to wield the power more than I trust anyone else. Yeah, I couldn't do that. Even for somebody that's, everyone agrees is awful. You wouldn't do it. I couldn't do it.

That's just me. I couldn't do it. So this is the show is the point. I want Ryan to be on the show. Will he do it? Will he write the name of the book? That's the show I want to see. No, so I've watched one episode,

and I can see why Jay and Clayton's like to. So, wait, there's 800 episodes like this? No, no, there's only 35. The other show he mentioned, one piece, there are 1,200 episodes, and I'm not going to watch that. That's too much commitment. That's where Josiah's buddy Darion was watching all of our road trips.

We went to 7 on 7 tournaments and stuff. He set the backseat and watched 800 episodes, those kind of episodes. Really? Yeah. Why do you think kids like the other episodes? I don't know. He loved it.

I don't, it's like not even really well done cartoons. I think it's the storylines. That's what people fall in love with. Not necessarily what it looks like. Yeah. All right. Who's up next? Bob and Jamestown.

Bob and Jamestown, 859-28027. Go ahead. It's in this weird Kentucky weather. For the last three months, it's been a drought. And then Tuesday, Lexington had the ninth-wettest weather recorded. I mean, it's just too weird. I was up there. Sorry, you waiting an hour and a half.

I mean, how do you explain it? Go from McGrath to the ninth. I can't explain why we had so much rain the other day, Bob. I mean, I can, I'm sorry. I don't really have an answer for that question. It washed out Memorial Hall there. We got actually from your area. We got some Russell Springs folks here.

Bob, that Russell County is in the house. Yep. It's been dry. It's been really been dry. But then, like I said, I was up there Tuesday. It wore out Memorial Hall. Now the court's going to have to dry out. Yeah.

All right, Bob. Okay. Thank you very much, man. Good to talk to you. Bill Mayck called in today. That was good points, though. Yeah, a lot of good. We didn't have a drought for several weeks.

He complained to me off the year. I just want you to know because he waited on hold for an hour and a half yesterday, and we didn't get to him. them and then we go to him and that's what we get. I think that's what he does. I think that's just what he does. Fan Day is Saturday, folks, for UK. It starts at noon.

Mark Pope will go on stage at 1230. Kenny Brooks after that, then all the women's players and all the men's players. It's an all-day event. A, I think it's awesome. UK's doing it. B, I hope people come because I want them to have the incentive to keep doing this. This is the kind of thing. and it's completely free.

I can't remember. Can you remember UK ever doing something like this where it was free? They've done this where you had to pay before. But can you remember them ever doing it when it was free? Not for basketball. You used to have fan day for football was a big free event, but nothing like this for basketball. And I don't remember.

Can anybody remember that? No. Well, I can't explain it to you again. I just said. Look at you just sitting down. Just getting married tomorrow. Just because you're getting married tomorrow. It doesn't mean you get your own personal show where I explain it again.

But it really is amazing. And I hear they're going to have a lot of activities. You're going to be able to maybe shoot with the players, something like little kids. Not you, Mario, but little kids will be able to. So this is exactly what the football team should have done this year of all years. Let us get to know these kids, get excited about these kids before the season started. So it's 12 to 430. You can go in and out too.

You can go and then come back and go and then come back. Hopefully you'll come by the bar and see us at some point Saturday, and then Big Blue Man is seven. You're going to watch Big Blue Man? Oh, I can't wait to watch it. I hear there is, I don't know what it is, but I've been told by people that know there's a surprise that Kentucky fans will really like. Really? Have you heard what you? No, I do not.

I don't know if it's a person, a place, a thing, any kind of noun, adverb. I'm not sure which one it is. But I've heard that they're doing something that they think will be an exciting surprise. But like Drew said, I don't think the floor will light up like a football field and they'll bring Mark Stoops out this year. that's probably not going to happen i don't i'm excited do you know what the you can tend to know these things do you know what the surprise i do not know but i'm excited i know last year they they brought out rick patino so that was cool so maybe you might see another person who knows i don't know yeah i honestly have no idea if you have a kitchen that you don't like it's not going to fix itself some people say

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 position. of the thing and we're still chasing it and we don't know when we've done enough because people scoreboard watch life becomes about wins and losses steve burns dustin ross because you find it important to be a good person while you hear on earth or are you a good person because you're afraid because that's two different intentions bro absolutely and that that's two different levels of trust

Open your free I Heart Radio 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

defining the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the

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

And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nass would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court, licking his fingers, why he got the ball, like,

after you go through a training camp with that ice ice, Ed, you figure it out real quick. Get your ass up and down the court, and you're going to get the ball.

One person writes, Matt, don't tell Mario not to feel bad. I've never watched Seinfeld or friends. I never thought either of them were funny.

I agree with you about friends. It's not funny. But Seinfeld, that's legitimately funny. Who's the main guy on Seinfeld? Seinfeld. Jerry. His name is actually, interestingly enough, Seinfeld. Okay.

I won't ask any more questions. No, no, you can ask a question. That's just, his name is, would you think his name wouldn't be Seinfeld? I mean, I understand if you didn't think the guy's name was friends. Hey, Mario. But Seinfeld doesn't mean anything except Seinfeld. Mario, the main guy on the Andy Griffith show is Andy Griffith. Yes, it is.

Andy Griffith. I know you never seen it. Same exact guys. Thank you, Shannon. Same exact situation. 859-280-2287. We want to give a shout-out to UK women's basketball team. Another top-20 commitment yesterday.

Emily MacDonald commits to UK women. Kenny's going to end up with another top-10 class this year in women's recruiting. Clearly, UK is investing in women's basketball to get all these young women to come and they get another one yesterday. You know, I thought last year he had the tallest team I'd ever seen. He said they're even taller this year. He's got like 6-6, 6-5-6-6-5 across the front line. The bust-out season they had last year may be even better this year.

Oh, I think they're going to be. Kenny's making a Final Four here. I don't know when it's going to be, but, like, Kenny Brooks is silently going to be like an assassin of a coach. Because he is recruiting well. You know, in one year, they were really good, right? Definitely changed the program already. Yeah, you got to give him his credit.

You seem like you're holding off on his credit, are you? No, I feel like people haven't really been talking about the one of this basketball, especially this year. Because Keeky ended up getting hired at the same time as Mark, it ended up not getting quite the attention. Kind of been under the radar a little bit and shouldn't be. They've been great. Our draft king's picks the night, Phillies Dodgers, did the Dodgers end up winning and going the championship? They didn't do it last night. Dodgers win tonight.

Dodgers win tonight? What do you got, Shannon? Dodgers win and go on to the NLCS to play whoever's. Christopher Sanchez versus Tyler Glassnow. Who you got? I'm going Tyler. I'm going with Tyler. I see you taking the Dodgers.

I like it. Brewers and Cubs, do the Cubs keep it going? Both teams. Oh, he's got a Cubs jersey on. Both teams throwing bullpen games tonight, right? I think both teams are doing a bullpen game, which that tells you how much baseball is change. But teams are throwing bullpen games in game four of the playoffs. Who you got?

You have a bullpen game. You're in the playoffs, man. I think the Cubs are behind because they had to play in that other series. And then the Brewers, their bullpen is so good. They've got like six guys that throw 100 miles an hour. So that's why they're doing it. Yes, they need to suck it up. Stop doing this.

I pitched three days ago. I can't pitch again. Is that what they said? Yeah. Shannon's a pitcher. You suck it up. Get out there. Playoff.

But did they talk like that when they do it? Yeah, I can't throw today, coach. I threw three days ago. I have their voice like that. There's no reason for their voice to be like that. But who you got? I hate the Cubs, so at Brewers, yeah. All right.

I'm going with the Cubs, man. I'm rooting with my guy right here. I'm going to take the Cubs to send it to game five. What do you got you? Milwaukee ends it tonight. All right, there you go. Those are your Draft King's picks of the night. Who's up next?

Let's go to Mark. Mark, go ahead, Mark. Hey, guys, real quick. One, did you ever find out the answer to the denim outfit? Yes, I did. So someone, wrote me that was the plant manager for the jeans place that the sites guy owned in Henderson. And he said, while yes, we did do jeans and the jeans were the best, we were not the ones that came up with the Converse uniforms.

The truth is line. Is your thing at the Singletary Center, is that open to the public? It is, yes. The Singletary Center thing is open to the public. It's at 5.30 on Monday. And since Arkansas is looking for a coach, we have one for sale. They took our basketball coach. Can we give them our football coach as well?

What if they ended up? That would be hilarious. What if Mark Stoops, I appreciate the call, became the Arkansas football coach, and then they end up having both of our coaches? They would become. And then they still hate each other. That's true. Then the Tyson Chicken Man come and try to get Stoops away from us.

That would be hilarious because, Shannon, they hated each other here. and then they ended up having to get together again. Can't get away from each other. Yeah, I wonder how long Bobby Petrino was going to work there. First of all, how insane is it that Bobby Petrino is now the coach of Arkansas again? Left in shame last time. Remember how he left. He left because he was having a relationship with a staffer

and ended up wrecking a motorcycle while being chased by her boyfriend. And he's back. Bloody face and a next race. He was the boyfriend back. Can you, I mean, what is it about that man? He got brought back to Louisville and Arkansas. I don't get it. Why can't people quit him?

Brokeback Mountain. I don't know what's going on over there. We said, I can't quit you. Remember that line in the movie? Broke back Mountain, he said, I can't quit you. Then you said, the. couldn't quit him. What?

So Arkansas is like Brokeback Mountain. What is that? What is wrong with you? Like, that has nothing to do. Where's your head at, Ryan? I feel we're a little loopy. It's just there.

No, no, there's no we. This is you. The place is full. There's cameras walk around in here. What's going on? Yeah. WKYT. I hope.

But we didn't do anything. What is wrong with you, by the way? Well, you said that line, and that's what the line came from. Yeah. I can't quit you. Okay, thank you. I get it.

I follow it. Tonight, you got Giants and Eagles. We'll be here Thursday night football, sponsored by cornbread hemp. You can come in. They're going to be giving away fun and also two baseball games tonight. Get the wings and the burgers. And then tomorrow we are at Wild Eggs. In Hamburg.

Out in Hamburg. Come see us. Always a fun show, and they usually give food and more things. It's a non-stop food fest out there. It's great food. So come on out. Breakfast, brunch, and lunch with a bar. Should be fine.

eggs. Should it be fun? I remember you liking that movie. I just didn't know that you quoted it all the time. I can't quote you, Matt. Thank you very much. We'll see you all later.
