Welcome to Hour 2 of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones. Welcome back. It is hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio. 859-280-2287. at Wild Eggs. We gave a bunch of gifts away,

gift cards during the break, and we are still here ready for another hour. Text machine is 772, 774-5254. People are suggesting I did say I was stronger than Trent Noah. I'll say I was stronger than him last year, but he's stronger than me now this year. Yeah. No, he really is.

He looks good. He's like lean. He had like a little kind of like a little baby fat last year. Now he's like lean. You can see it in his face too. His face is skinnier. He looks like, I think he's going to play. I think there are people who think he's the odd man out, Ryan. I don't think that's going to be the case.

No, I think he has proved the point that it's going to be hard to take him off the court. He's earned the right to get those minutes and playing so well. It's really the whole interview we had with Pope. That's the most excited I think Pope got when he was talking about Trent Noah. That's right. All right. So a couple things, 859, 280, 2287. I'm going to go to the phone.

A couple updates. Tiren Stokes, there's some rumors he'll decide this weekend. He hasn't said anything. A couple people online have suggested they think it'll come tomorrow or Sunday. I have no idea. I kind of wonder if this will be one of these that just sort of drag along. But I'm going to take the view of I'm going to be watching for the news this weekend. And if I don't get it this weekend, then you just call me, Shannon, whenever he decides.

I'm not going to like. You're not worked up over it? No, no. This is a big deal. I mean, I was sitting there thinking how many times in the history of UK basketball has UK gotten a number one player in the country? Like in the hit now great they didn't really rank people until the mid 80s Right so like it's hard to know in the 60s and 70s I'm not sure so let's just say since the mid 80s how many time has it happened What's happened less than you think yeah

John wall but even John wall was not the consensus number one there were some people that had avery bradley that year number one But John wall was mostly number one Anthony Davis was consensus number one by the end Carl towns was number one in most although some people had the the Mecca, or Jalil Okafore as number one. And then Scowl. Scal. Those are the four. Are there any others even?

I think that's it. Sam Bowie was ranked high, but I don't think he was number one. I think he was like two or three. Yeah, because Sam, Ralph Sam. And Jamal Mashburn was like number three or something like that. So it's four times, and this would be the fifth. And let me just say, three of those four ended up really, really, really. good. Are you, what do you think? I'm excited about it. There's a long time. I didn't think Kentucky

really had a good chance to get this kid. He's from Louisville, grew up in Louisville. His parents apparently are Louisville fans, and now he's eliminated Louisville from his final list, right? Most people think it's going to be Kentucky Oregon. So it's basically history versus probably a lot of money. I mean, I'd say we're probably offering him a lot of money, too, but for the most part, history or a lot, so what do you think? Mark Pope has checked a lot of boxes and has one year here. but the question has been can he get a top recruit? Well, this will be it? Yeah, this would be it right here.

This will be it. So watch for that this weekend. There's not a set announcement, but some people believe it could come this weekend. If it doesn't, though, I'm kind of out on the picking what weekend. I'll just wait until he actually does it. Yeah, I was surprised that it came up so quick that he was about even to make a decision. I thought he was still a ways away, but that's a big get.

If Pope's able to pull that one in. All right, I'm going to give you two debates. I always like my jury. panel here. So let's start with this one. This is happening in Powell County, Kentucky. I know this story. All right. In Powell County, Kentucky, Halloween decorations. Man in Powell County puts up every year five skeletons up as his Halloween decorations. And apparently, as with the skeletons, he puts five famous people that he doesn't like. So I don't know who he's had over the years, but usually they're famous people that he doesn't like.

But this year, he decided to make it people in Powell County, right? So politicians in Powell County. So rather than just saying, like, I don't like, you know, George Clooney, he's saying I don't like Bob the Sheriff, right? The city said, no. That's threatening. You cannot, you cannot, you're threatening your fellow citizen. Now, they didn't say anything in the first few years when he had, like, famous people, but now that he said local people, they're saying they're threatening.

He has filed suit saying it is my First Amendment right to put up, as long as you let people put Halloween stuff up, you let other people put skeletons up, why when I put somebody's name on there, how are you not violating my First Amendment rights? So here's my question for you. Two different rights here. First Amendment versus we don't want people to threaten public.

officials. Do you consider it threatening or not? What do you make of it? Which way you're going to go? You're the court. You're having to decide. Does he get to put local politicians' names on his skeletons for Halloween? From what I read, from what I understand, it was like mayor on one of them. Then he had like zoning manager. He was mad at the zoning manager. He doesn't like the zoning guy. Because apparently had a zoning violation. So as long as he doesn't have the actual person's name on the body. I mean, clearly he's talking to about the local mayor. It could be any mayor. Nah, he means, because he specifically said,

I'm mad at our mayor and our zoning mayor. He said that in the interview. Yeah, yeah. I think I'll lean in the favor of the guy who is the homeowner who put these decorations. He gets to put it up. It's all in good fun. I don't think there's any.

What if he put Donald Trump? Yeah, now you're talking specific names. So I think that's what if he just put president. Yeah, let it go. I mean, see, I don't understand the difference between title and name. You know who he's talking about. So what difference is it make whether he uses his name?

Could be President Zelensky. I don't know. It could be anybody. But what if he does an interview that says, I am talking about Mayor Jenkins? Well, that would be stupid if he did that interview. Well, he did. He's already done it.

So I think I'm fine with the guy with the decorations. Halloween's supposed to be fun, man. Decorations, you know, you put out your witch and your skeleton and your ghosts. I think it's almost crossing the line to make it a personal attack. Like he's taking the Halloween. tradition of what if we put Taylor Swift yeah I don't like it at all what if I had I didn't ask if you liked it I the question is should he be allowed to do it it's not about whether not Ryan likes it it's whether or not it should be legal because you're right it is his private

property that's his private residence as he owns that your law it is his private property but he couldn't write I'm going to shoot the mayor he can't write that we know that that's settled law and he can he could put a pay of the mayor. So he could put the mayor as a clown. Right? So he could put the, he could create the mayor's face and put a clown face on it. The question is, is it using a skeleton? Does that switch it from legal parity to a threat? Threats are illegal. Parodies are okay. Which one is this?

I will say it's not a threat. Now, we use this as an example. Do you know the band, Gwar? Do you know who they are? I do. Every show they do, they bring up somebody who looks like the president, whoever that happens to be, and they essentially act out like they're killing the president on stage. I don't know if you'll do that. So what they do it. So my point is, if they can get away with doing that,

then why should this guy be prosecuted? I don't know if they can get away with it. But put that to the side. Just in your mind, is that more of a threat or is that more of a parody? It's a parody. It's a parody for me. Ryan? I think I'm going to lean parity also.

I thought you were just saying a minute ago, the opposite. I said, I don't like it, but if you're trying to, we're going to make a decision. Yeah. I think it's more of a hair. I generally would say you allow it unless he's insinuating he's going to do something to one of them. If he's insinuating he's going to do something to one of them, then that's, you can't do that.

Yep. So, but, you know, like skeletons are part of Halloween, right? Yeah. So it's not. Now, if you made it like a body and then that's a whole other thing. Right. So for me, I would lean towards saying he does have a First Amendment. But it's going to court.

Kentucky Supreme Court's going to hear. I saw he had a $5,000 bond. I feel like that's a little... See, you definitely shouldn't arrest him. I mean, like, I do not think he should get criminal charges for it. That to me seems... And whatever happened, that dude that had, like, those tombstones, and your name was on one of the tombstones.

Well, that was a cartoon, I think, right? Well, but that's a great point. If you have... To me, tombstones with people's names on it is even more of a threat than skeletons in some ways. Because, like, a skeleton can be funny. A tombstone is, you. You are dead, right?

And that was a politician that did that to me. That was like a guy running for governor, I think, wasn't it? I think it was. Yeah, yeah. So, all right, second question. There's somebody that probably very few people here know, but his name is Hassan Piker. All right, he's this liberal guy. He gets on Twitch and he just talks about politics, but he's kind of like handsome dude.

He's very popular with younger people. He's on his little stream yesterday. All of a sudden, he's got a dog, all right? He's got a collar on his dog. People think he hits a button and has like a shock collar on his dog. So there's this big debate. Does he have a shot collar? Does he not?

He says it was not an electric shock collar. It was something else. Is there another kind of collar where you do something to people? Well, in their dogs. Barking. They may bark. You can hit it. They try to keep people from barking.

But what does it do? It sends them a little electric. shot. Okay, so that's my question. People are roasting this guy because they said you have a shot collar. You're supposed to care about animals and you have a shot car. Here's my question for you because I honestly don't know the answer and I'm not an animal person. Is having like a little collar on dogs, is that inhumane?

Because I didn't even know that that was a debate, but online yesterday, if you got online, people had strong positions on whether or not you should have a shot caller or not. You're a dog guy Do you think that's okay? Yeah, and we got in trouble for our dogs barking all the time So we got these little shock collars Oh, so you're going to cancel you Like we do a son Pike

But after a couple weeks, maybe even a month I'm like, this is ridiculous So why was it ridiculous? Because actually I grabbed a hold of it and did the shock myself like, Whoa. Oh, you shocked yourself See, I think that makes a big difference If you fill the shock, you know the intensity of it

I think it depends on that So once you felt it, you were like, I don't want to do I ain't doing that. So if we put that collar around you and hit it, you wouldn't go outside the gates. So do you think those things, do you think putting a shot collar on a dog is inhumane? Because honestly, I don't have an opinion because I don't know. I don't think so. I don't think it's inhumane.

But you decided not to do it. Because, you know, like they got the electrical fences in your yards. Yeah, we do that with like cows and horses and stuff. Yeah, we have cattle prods we use. But to purposely push the button. Just because he was barking, that's what I think I don't like. Okay, what about you? I made it shut up.

It worked, right? So I feel like it's a little inhumane. I've never used one before. I've had dogs before. How many dog owners are here? Okay, if you're a dog owner, how many of you think it's inhumane? How many of you think it's fine? All right, it's about 50-50.

It's about 50-50. And if you were on the internet yesterday, it was 50-50. Was it? Like, people were going at each other. He was like trying to defend himself. He was like, it's not a shot caller. And he called it something else. I don't even know what he meant, but it was clearly something that gave some kind of thing.

But I didn't even know that was a debate. First of all, I don't even know if I realized that people still had those. Yeah. But secondly, I didn't know that it was a debate. So you've had one and then gotten rid of it. I've had the electric fence in my yard, and I've had the shock collar both trying to. The ones in the yard, I guess I'm okay with kind of teaches them, you know, they can't run away. Because you're not controlling it, right?

Do you feel guilty when you hit that button? Yes. Yeah. So you, okay, so that's a good question. Did you stop doing it because it was inhumane or did you stop doing it because you felt guilty? I think I felt guilty. You felt guilty because it's inhumane. That's why you felt it.

After I grabbed it and felt it and did it to myself like, whoa! Yeah. I'm not doing that anymore. Well, anyway, sometimes you realize there are these huge debates that I didn't even know was a debate. Do you have a dog right here? Do you have one of those collars for them? And you wouldn't do it. Look, he doesn't look like he needs it.

I agree. Maybe it's a jolt of caffeine instead. He's just sort of... He's been asleep the whole show. You might need it actually to give him some energy. Give him a coffee. So that he can go. 859-280-2287.

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?

And I'm CJ 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. playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall.

And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running up the court licking his fingers while 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. There are times when the mind becomes a difficult place to live. This is David Eagleman with the Inner Cosmos podcast and for Mental Health Awareness Month, we're

dedicating a series to understanding the mind when it struggles. I'm joined by doctors, researchers and those with lived experience. We'll talk with singer-song Jewel about anxiety. I started living in my car and then my car got stolen. I was shoplifting, I was having panic attacks, I was agoraphobic.

And making it through hardship. To be present is a learned skill and it's hard to be present. We'll talk with John Nelson about clinical depression and the brain implant that saved his life. What I learned is that procedure made me happy because I'm disease-free. And we'll talk with leading experts like Judd Brewer about anxiety and John Hirschfield about obsessive compulsive disorder and the science of how the brain can change. This is a month of deeply personal and honest conversations about what happens when the brain

goes off course and what we can do about it. Listen to Inner Cosmos on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Come back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Again, you never know when you do this, show you never know what people are going to care about. People have strong, strong opinions on the text machine on the callers. Apparently there's also a vibrating collar. I think that's what he said he was using. It wasn't a shock. It was a vibrate. I think that makes a difference.

I don't know what he had or what he didn't. But I think more interestingly, it's the strong opinions people just have on it in general. And who knew Ryan was at the forefront of all this and with his own dog? Don't you turn your microphone up there? That would be good. He picked up the wrong headset. Or used the one that actually works. But animal lovers are very, you know, they're a very passionate group of people and any kind of harm at all for an animal.

Like you said, we use electric fences around cows. They use electric pokers when, you know, they're loading up livestock on the trucks. Yeah. No, they do. Before we go, the phone's, Phillies. What a way to lose last night. Yeah, it was. Awful.

Do you feel bad for the pitcher? Yes, I do. I do. You know how I feel about Philadelphia, but even I kind of. felt bad for the pitcher. He had plenty of time. He just had a moment where he panicked. Especially because he just sat there on the bench, staring ahead, sad for a long time.

I was like, man, just go inside. You don't have to, like, you don't have to sit out here and bask in it. I felt really bad for him, actually. Because he had plenty of time. Yeah, he did. He would have been out by a lot. He babbled the ball. And then when he –

Panicked. Yep, he did. And then he could have, like you said, could have thrown the first, could have gotten out of the ending onto the 12th. But nope. That was a great baseball game. That's one of the few non-reds games I watched like six or seven innings of, and I just hate that it ended like that.

Yeah, these are two of the best teams, I think, in baseball. And that's a routine play. That dude has made since his little league game. You know, a little ground ball back to the pitcher, pick it up, scoop it up, throw it to first base. And I know it's having a hard time getting over that. I guarantee it's going to be better for them. And it stinks that he missed the catcher, because I think the guy was going to be safe either way.

He was. But by throwing it so far away, it made it even look. worse, you know? And his manager came out and met the pitcher before he came into the dugout. It was almost like a little league player. It was. He felt so bad. You could tell it in his body language.

I did feel bad for him. Who's up first? Mike. Mike, go ahead, Mike. Hey, guys, good morning. I got season tickets for UK basketball with my brother-in-law, and we are splitting those up this weekend, including the exhibition games.

Will y'all give me maybe your top five or six games? Great call. Out of the home games this year. All right, that's a great call. So if I were going to rank games I would want on the U.K. home basketball schedule, if we were to do a draft, I'm going to take first pick and then we'll draft a couple rounds here. With the first pick of the U.K. or the U.K. basketball schedule draft, I'm taking, I'm going to take Florida. Because it's going to be one of the last games of the year. Both teams could be in the top five. I'm going to take Florida. What do you want? Yeah, you took my pick.

So I guess with my second pick, I'll take Tennessee at home. You're going to take Tennessee. All right, Shannon, what are you going to pick? Oh, man. There's not a whole lot of great ones, really, though. I mean, I'm looking through the schedule right now. We're talking about games at Rupp Arena. Michigan State.

That's neutral. Yeah. I mean, your choices are probably since you're not, your choice is going to be North Carolina, Indiana, Purdue. Oh, okay, Purdue. You're going to take it. Exhibition? I'll take Purdue, number one team in the country.

I didn't know we were going to exhibition games. I'll go Purdue. Wow, so you would take an exhibition game, even though it doesn't matter. Sure, absolutely. I think that's going to be a great environment. Well, then I'm going to take North Carolina if you're going to give me that one. So I'll have Florida and North Carolina. I would feel pretty good about it.

I would assume, will you take Indiana? I'm going to take Indiana then, yep. And then after that, I think it's Texas. Probably, the next one's probably Texas. You're exactly right. Because we, our SEC home schedule, we kind of play all the bad teams here. Yeah. And we play all the good teams on the road.

So I think those are the games that would stick out. Now let me ask you, let's throw in, you could have tickets to any game. Ooh. So that includes St. John's in Atlanta, Michigan State in New York City, Louisville at Louisville, Gonzaga at Nashville, at Alabama, at Auburn, at Arkansas. Arkansas, let's do a road game draft. I went first the last time, so, Shannon, you pick which road or neutral game you would want to go to. I think at Arkansas.

We owe them one for that game last year where Cal came in and beat Kentucky at Rupp. The problem with that one is what if you lose, and you have to walk out of there. Yeah, but what if you win, though? What if you win? All right, so you want to add Arkansas. What are you taking? I'm going to take at Auburn. Against Stephen Pearl?

Yeah. I feel think it's going to be It'll be a crazy, crazy environment. All right, so I'm going to, I'm going to North Carolina and I'm going to Florida. Or playing Florida home. So I'm not going to go down to Gainesville because I'm going to see them here.

So I'm going to take a neutral game. We've got Michigan State, St. John's. You know what? I'm going to Louisville. I'm going to Louisville middle fingers up and walking into the Yums Center. Yep. So now you're bringing it.

So now you leave me North Carolina, Gonzaga, or St. North Carolina is at home? Or you got, no, you get Gonzaga, Michigan State, St. John's, at Alabama, at Tennessee, at Florida. I know St. Johns really isn't a rival, but the fact that they're coached by Rick Petino, when we get to see Pope versus Patino in Atlanta, give me St. John's. All right, what about you? I'm going to take Gonzaga and Nashville then, because I think it's going to be a crazy environment also.

Okay. So that leaves me, what does that leave me? That leaves me. At Alabama. At least me the SEC games. So, or Michigan State, New York. You know, I'm going to go down to Alabama. I think that's a good place to watch a game.

So I'm going to Louisville, and I'm going to Alabama. So I like my games. I get North Carolina at home. I get Florida at home, and then I'm going to Louisville and going to Alabama. I'm going to see four great games. We're going to keep going? No, we're good. I thought you would pick Bellarmine.

Bellarmine's on the schedule this year. Well, for me personally. Yeah, Kentucky does play Bellarmine at home. Who's next? Nick. Nick, go ahead, Nick. Can I listen? Yes, go ahead.

Hey, so I'm just throwing out there, you guys are talking about the tombstones with names on them. Yes. Niles Garrett. Decorates this house for Halloween with two and the quarterback two stacks. And the great, the best stack leader of all time, Bruce Smith. Yeah, but the thing about the Miles Garrett thing is different because he's saying, I mean, he's saying, I sack this guy. He's not insinuating that this person should be dead. I think there's a little bit of a difference between that.

I mean, when that guy running for governor put my name on this tombstone, I don't think he was saying he sacked me since he's never met me. I think it was a little bit more of an ominous thing. Maybe the guy from Powell County wants to go sack the zoning manager. Yeah. I didn't realize. I appreciate the call. I didn't realize they've arrested him.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, they arrested him. Like I said, $5,000 to get out. it on what threatening charges terroristic threatening see to me that's nonsense yeah they got to drop that that's nonsense I agree like terroristic threatening requires like

you're about you're on your way to do something yeah or you say something verbally yeah but not just you say it like you mean it like you might do it yeah this is not that's ridiculous I can't believe there I thought it was a civil thing if they're criminally charging him that's ridiculous

like if I drove by somebody's house and it had you know KSR producing or I wouldn't call and try to get the guy arrested. I'd like, hey, that's cool. I mean, somebody's front yard for their Halloween decorations. Well, I will say, I mean, just to play devil's advocate, people sort of, people throw up, like, just look past threats. Like, it's different when you're getting it.

I mean, I've gotten a bunch over the years. Back in old Louisville days, when I was thinking about running, a little bit during the Cal stuff. When you get real threats, it doesn't feel good. It's not funny. So you do have to be careful about that. We'll take a break and be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.

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 here live at Wild Eggs in Hamburg. They got breakfast, brunch, and lunch with a bar. You can get catering. 859-7-1-2 eggs.

food over there. That was really good. What's the egg thing I ate right over there? That was really, really good. I had never had that before. I'm not sure. Whatever it was, I'm a big fan. Britch toast is gone. You got the pumpkin-flavored pancake. It's delicious. And we killed the potato with head cassero tauts.

You wouldn't skip half-time adjustments, so don't skip your skin cancer treatment. Actually, yesterday two days ago, I went to Derbenthala. I had to have a little place scraped off my face, but it was fine, but I knew I got checked because of things like the Kentucky Skin Cancer Center. They got them in

Mullenburg County. They got them in Franklin, Glasgow, Bowling Green, Owensboro. They stopped putting that little town. They just say Muleberg County. I liked when they said that. Go to Kentucky Skincancercer.com. Kentucky Skincancercer.com or 270542, 842, 1999.

Go get it checked out at the Kentucky Skin Cancer Center. Let's make our KSR Parlay from Draft Kings Pick. I'm going to go first. I've got Alabama. just to beat Missouri. It's only a two and a half point favorite. You're telling you, in a fact, you know what? I'll do it to cover the spread.

We'll cover two and a half. I got Alabama. I know they're on the road, but Bama's rolling. This is the time Missouri takes a step back. Give me Alabama on the road to cover against Missouri the two and a half. What about you, right? I need a layup. You're like one and four this year.

So I need a lay up. I'm thinking Oregon Money Line over Indiana. You guys. Pick both of my picks. Seven. Seven. Seven. She said seven or less.

Yeah, I don't like, it's seven and a half on this. It's got to be seven or less. I got seven on draft kings. Is it seven on draft? Yes. All right, I'll let you have it. Yes. I'll let you have it.

If Indiana wins, though, you're out. I'm out. I agreed. If Indiana wins, you're out. Shannon, what are you got? All right, since you guys have stolen my first two picks, in honor of my guy right here wearing the Oklahoma Sooner's hat, I'm going to take up. We don't know if the quarterback's playing or not.

Does that matter to you? We don't know if John Meteer does. doesn't play. I think it's a completely different game. Well, you don't know who I'm going to pick. I might have picked against him. Well, you said in honor of his shirt, I assumed you were picking him. But if you want to go ahead. Well, now you're trying to flip. Okay, look, I'm going to Oklahoma.

I don't care who their quarterback is. Oklahoma wins tomorrow. What's the spread? One and a half. You know what? So you're taking Oklahoma. You know what? Let's take one and a half. Let's take the one and a half. Take it to one and a half. All right. So we got Oklahoma covering one and a half. Alabama covering two and a half. Ryan's wimpy, Wimpy, Oregon money line over Indiana, which is the wimpiest bet.

of all time and kills our odds. We need one more because Drew's not here. Liam, you did a good job with the Pope interview. You've played pretty good music, so I'm going to give you a chance to be the fourth one. However, if you miss it, just know all the Big Blue Nation will hate you. So go ahead and make your pick. They say pressure make diamonds. We're at burst, so we'll figure out.

But I think Wake Forest, Robbie Ashford on the road, against Oregon State and Cravalis. Corvallis. Same thing. Tomatoes tomorrow. What a ball nor. So what's the spread on that one? It's three, but we just go with the money line. So you're just going to take Wake Forest to cover?

Or no, wait for us to win? Yeah, because maybe like a blocked field goal happens. They win by one or something. Okay, all right, so Wake Forest to win. Orrin' where's Mario? You're writing these down? Wake Forest to win, Oregon to win. Me and Shannon have Cajonais.

We're picking our teams to actually cover Alabama and Oklahoma. That's right. I worry about your Oklahoma. If Metteer plays, I like your pick. if he doesn't uh we're going to run the ball it's okay who's up next Isaiah Isaiah go ahead Isaiah Hey fellas uh me and the wiper headed the Lexington for the weekend and the Washington people of madness we've never tried KS bar and grill we wanted to go so

what's something you all kind of recommend for us to try there Same thing I always would say four things wings cheese log beer cheese casso and now I add to that the burgers because they're very good. So whichever of those tickle your fancy, those would be the ones I'd go. And by the way, all day tomorrow, we've got specials going for the start of basketball season, for the pro day and Big Blue Madness. So come through either before or after we'll be there all day. But yes, any of those, I mean, part of the reason we shrunk the menu is I wanted to make sure everything on it was good.

So now everything's good. But those are the things I think are the best. Okay, well, I appreciate you guys. I'll have a good weekend. There you go. Well, that was an easy question. And, you know, we've got some of the best drink specials in town that kind of people don't even know about. Like Thursday through Sunday, we've got these unbelievable drink special.

We really do. And, like, I don't know if we'll keep them when basketball starts because we need to make money. So now's the time to actually use them. This Saturday is a really, we're going to have, there's a lot going on Saturday. And then I got an interesting phone. Well, I'm going to save this story for another time. I got an interesting phone call about somebody wanting to have an event. Yeah.

I'll just say it. Remind me about it next week. I don't want to spoil it yet. Who's up next? Donnie. Donnie. Go ahead, Donnie. Good morning, fellas.

Good morning. Going back to the big, going back to the big blue madness. It's all great. I agree with you about the John Wall Day. But the midnight madness back in the day, it was like unprecedented. It was so cool. We all half the state of Kentucky would be up at midnight. just to get a first look at these guys.

Because, you know, we didn't have the Internet back then. So it's a little different. And one other thing real quick, Shannon, why would you schedule a show during the Big Blue Madness? Thank you. He's talking about the band. Oh, you have a show very Big Blue Madness.

Well, we were thinking, you know, Kentucky football is off, but I don't think anybody's caring about Kentucky football at this point. Yeah, it's tomorrow night. It's tomorrow night. At Populik Park. Let me ask you a question. Since now, the reason they changed it from midnight to earlier in the day was so it could be on television, right?

Because it was on ESPN for a while, and then it was on the SEC network. Now that it's not, and now that it's back to just being on the computer, would you recommend going back to midnight and having a Memorial Coliseum? I would, like the caller said, there was something magical that when they, the cluck struck, you know, they had the cluck struck. The cluck struck. The clucked struck. It's clucking.

Have it on the scoreboard to count down and it finally gets to zero in the horn center. There is something that was kind of cool and special about that. I always understood why they moved it when they were getting television coverage. But if you're not going to get television coverage and it's just going to be on the Internet, then Shinn, and I kind of say, let's go back in history, let's do the whole thing. I mean, I know there's worries about people having out. They don't want people camping out. I mean, I get all that.

But can you imagine what the environment would be like on campus if everybody was waiting until midnight? You don't have to camp out. I mean, you can make it to where it's tickets, but can you matter what those. those streets and those bars would be like, that would be a cool way to get energy into the season. So I kind of like the idea. Yeah, I like that as well. You know, they did it before because they had to. They had to wait until 12.01 a.m. before they could officially practice.

I think it would be cool. It also used to be the rule. Right, right. Yeah. So I think it would be cool to go back to that if you're not going to have it televised. Yep. One person writes, Matt, I listen to your and Drew's cover zero podcast. By the way, if you haven't listened to this, I do think the one we did Wednesday,

me, Drew, and Billy, might be our best one yet. So if you haven't gone to NFL, cover zero, do it. You don't have to like the NFL. You just have to tolerate us. And you were talking about Build a Bear. I don't think you all realize just how big Build a Bear is. So I have to tell you, Shannon, I didn't even know Bill DeBair was still a thing. I didn't either.

I remember Bill DeBer when I was a kid. You'd go to the mall. They'd like put little bows and arrows. I guess they'd put, not arrows, but they'd put, like, like ties and... You could have an Archer bear. Clothes and all these on bears. Then, was it Drew or Billy?

Somebody said that the stock for Build a Bear has gone up like a bajillion percent. And I said, who still goes to Build a Bear? I had no idea. Did you know how big Build a Bear is now? No. Just building your own teddy bear. Yeah, I do.

First of all, the stock since COVID is like 20 times higher than it was before. It's like if you had invested in build a bear, you could retire. Secondly, they like put it on cruise ships and things where you're trapped. You know, like, I don't know. I'm on this boat. Might as well build a bear. Might as well build a bear.

Fayette Mall, apparently you have to have an appointment at Fayette Mall to build a bear now. Like you can't just go build a bear. You have to have an appointment. You have to like pay off people on the street to get to go to build a bear. I had no idea. And then when we talked about it, the text machine has been every night just people telling me, Matt, you have no idea about Buildabair.

Did you all know Bill DeBare was such a thing? I only know it because anytime you walk by one in the mall, it is packed. I mean, there are 100 people in that little store. There's two stores that get a lot of crowd. AT&T store and Bill DeBer. That's it. Not Spencer Gipps anymore? No, you know if it's still there.

Did you know that Bill DeBair was as big as it is? No, I thought when that became a thing, it would be a fad, it would be gone. within two or three years and you'd never hear from it again. But I think a lot of it is parents now who had built a bear's when they were a kid. Now they have their own kids and now they're taking them to build a bear. What I'm trying to figure out, though, is why it's so popular. Because now on the Internet, conceivably you could get whatever you want, right? But I think it's the process.

Wait a minute. You're shaking your head. That's not true. You need to personalize it. So is there something exciting about just walking with your kid and going, would like a mustache or how about a chocolate or something like your daughter loves it so they've her daughters and all of them i think it's the process of watching it being made you can't do that if you order on amazon do you stuff it yourself yeah so you put all the like innards in that's

probably not the word they use as innards the guts you put a heart in it oh you can put a heart you put like a little thing in it or you can record a voice you put message yeah Put intestines in it as well. A heart, lungs, kidney. Yeah. Well, I will say, that's one of the great things about doing these other podcasts is I learned. I had no idea, Ryan. Build a bear is one of the biggest things going, and I didn't have a clue.

You know, none of us have daughters, but I guess if you've got a daughter, if I had a daughter, she wanted one, you better believe I'm taking her that. We're going to make a bear. So there you go. It's like I wish we'd invested in it. Why did Tom Hart tell us Zoom? That stock's crashed. We could have been in Build a Bear, and we'd be.

all could have retired. We should all go build a bear after the show. No, thank you. We will take a break and be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Last night, a blown call changed a game.

And in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, I'm bringing over a decade of my own experience in the mental health field and conversations with so many incredible guests.

I'm talking, Tripp Fontaine, Ryan Clark. Sometimes when we're in the pursuit of the thing, we get so wrapped up in the chase that we don't realize that we are in possession of the thing. And we're still chasing it. And we don't know when we've done enough. Because people scoreboard watch. Life becomes about wins and losses. Steve Burns, Dustin Ross,

Toledano and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game.

His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows without Luca and Austin 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 have Rudy in the lineup, he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nash would get that thing. That man, hell get the flying. He running 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. Hey, everyone, it's Ryder Strong and Will Ferdell from PodMeets World. And now the PodMeets Twirled podcast. We're two men who were completely clueless to reality TV, who now have covered Dancing with the Stars, traitors, and we're gearing up for the season finale of Survivor. So yeah, now we're experts.

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? Yeah. Just because we...

Yeah. We'll be recapping the big conclusion at the 50th season from the final attempts at gameplay to the desperate pleas of finalists to a bunch of ha, hoo. Ha ha, who.

Again, we are experts. So make sure to tune into Pod Meets Twirled for all our Survivor 50 takes. Listen to Pod Meets Twirled on the IHeard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I actually really like this song. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio.

Dolly is alive. Turns out she just had kidney stones. Yeah. Feels like sister overreacted to the kidney stones. Frida needs to calm down a little bit and stay in her lane. Freeda needs to chill. Stella. Her name's Stella? Stella. Stella needs to chill too. Stella. Stella had me worried. I mean, kidney stones aren't fun, but like... My dad had kidney stones all the time. He's fine. He's survived.

Does it feel like anything to alert anybody about? Let me give you a couple updates here. First of all, one person writes, Matt, my friend lives in Powell County. I was texting him about this, and he said there's a fact that you left out. He said that one of the skeletons had a noose around it. Does that change your mind?

Well, that wasn't in the story I read. So I'm not confirming that's true. But if that's true, then yes, it does change my mind. Because that starts moving towards threat. Yes. The act of killing. Right. Like that goes from, like the moment you put a noose on it,

now it's making me sound like you're wanting to do something. I still don't think I'd put you in jail for it. But at that point, I might say you can't have it up. So if that's true, that does alter my opinion a little bit about it. And I guess that was the reason for the terroristic threatening, the arrest of the guy because of maybe that one thing right there. That's probably how they justify. I would say take that one down, the rest are okay.

Yeah, I think that's right. Now, I don't know if that's just what the text machine person. Second thing, and somebody told me this, I think the lady over there, or maybe you tried to say it, Shannon. You can put people's voices in the bear. So grandparents will put their voices in the bear, so presumably the child will always, even after the grandparent is gone, be able to hear the grandparents' voice.

I actually think that's very sweet. So if that's true, well, I guess it is true. Why would someone make that up? That makes sense. Now, I would think the battery could run out or something. There's AA batteries, AAA batteries. But I do think that's, I can see that's sweet. That's something you would hang on, I think, for your entire life, even through adulthood.

You know, having your grandparents' voice on a... And this guy right here told me on the birthday of your child, you can buy the basic bear for the cost of however old your child is. So, for instance, we could buy one for Ryan, and it would be really expensive. Buy one for that little girl, and it's $3. It's $3. You, I'm going to have to take that a loan. I just thought of this.

I'm going to get you one for your birthday, and I'm going to record a bunch of stuff, you know, mommy squami, sexy panties. If you get a bear that says the word sexy panties to me, just lay it by your pillow every night. I'm going to throw you. By the way, I was on Instagram. I was on Instagram just, you know, seeing people's stories, and you popped up of not just your ad,

a whole video in which you are crying. You are crying in a video. It's very sweet. For free. But you are crying in a video for free. Those are free tears. You cannot show that level of emotion and not charge. Well, I couldn't.

After I said a few times, tears then okay that's going to cost you a couple hundred dollars i'll tell you if i'm going to be crying at somebody's ad they're going to be paying me a million dollars that's going to cost you a doggy toys damn it i mean you literally it's like give me those eyedrops you literally are bawling on television for free and that wasn't even part of the commercial like it happened during the commercial break like i didn't know they were still rolling of course the other part of this you should have creative freedom and the editing process if you're going to do it for free ryan wait till next time we'll get them next time if i'm

I don't need it next time. I got all this. Forever. There's a man crying over our product. I am amazed where all this is showing up now. It's everywhere. The Savannah bananas announced they are coming to Lexington, sort of. They're coming to Lexington, but it's not the Savannah bananas.

Two of the other teams are going to play each other. The party animals one? No, they're adding new teams. It's like the something, Indianapolis something. And then the something, something. There's Indianapolis coconuts, and then the other one is like an old team from the Negro leagues. What, the clowns, the clowns. Indianapolis clowns.

So they're coming and they're playing here. So they say you'll get the Savannah bananas experience, but no bananas. I got to tell you. One time the hard, I thought the Harlem Globetrotters were coming to one of our local schools. I went. It was the Harlem Globe Travelers. You got the T-Moo version It was not the same thing

The T-moo version Well, they say this is the same thing They say this is the exact same thing It's just they'll have different uniforms on So I'm doing it next September Three straight nights They expect all three to sell out at the legend stadium

Would you go? Yes, I am going to go I want to go I missed him when they were in Louisville I couldn't get a ticket to go see him in Louisville The real Santa Bananas But I'll go to this one I think it'll be fun to do This feels like a bait and switch to me.

I mean, you put the Savannah bananas label on it, but it's not the Savannah Banana. They say, however, they're, like, creating a whole league. They're creating, like, eight teams. Banana ball. They're going to have, like, a real playoff. And, like, they say, you know, it's all entertainment, but the game is still the game. Because the bananas lose sometimes, right? They don't always win.

Right. They play competitive baseball. So, well, but sometimes they drop it. Like, they try to flip and catch. Anyway, so you will go. I go, you know, one of their players is from Lexington right now. I coached him when he was like six or seven years old. On which team?

On the team that plays against the bananas. Well, there's now four. There's the party animals and the firefighters and whatever. So would you would not go to? No, no. I would go to a bananas game. But, you know, they have a lot like a lottery to be able to get tickets to buy to go see the bananas. That's how popular they are.

They came to Slugger Field. You had to win a lottery just to go to buy tickets. They'll sell it out. Right. Sell out the stadium. But you think it'll sell out even if it's not the banana. Like the Harlem Globe Travelers, just not the same as the Harlem Globe Trotters. Well, we'll see.

I mean, they expect to sell out. Who's next? Hot, real quick. Go. Hank. Hank, hot is not a name. Hank, go ahead. Hot Hank.

Hank. All right, no, Hank. Thank you, Hank. Don Franklinato.com. Call of a day. You get John Franklin. Best selection of vehicles. Best selection of vehicles.

service. What location near you over 25 locations all around the state and all the vehicles you would want the price you deserve? It's Don Franklin Auto.com. Be treated like family at Don Franklin. What do you think happens at Big Blue Madness tomorrow night? I think it'll be a great environment, a great atmosphere, and I hate the fact I got to miss it. It's my dad's 84th birthday, but I need to say happy birthday to do my dad.

84 years old. Yes. That's awesome. Are you going up to Indiana? Yes. Right now. What about you? What do you think is going to happen?

I think just the normal stuff. Three-point shooting contest, slam duck. I want to see what this big surprise is, though. That's the thing I'm going to be watching for. I'm worried they're not able to do it with the way he talked about it. Yeah, he sounded like to be like a get-top decision. I was like, can you really do that indoors? Good idea, but maybe to pull it off, maybe a little tricky.

We will find out tomorrow. You were saying you'd like to have John Wall come and do the John Wall dance. I think at one point, don't you think he comes out and he does the John Ball dance? Crowd would go crazy if he did. That would go absolutely nuts. That should happen one day whether it happens. too sweet or not. Thank you all very much.
