Welcome back. Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-2802287. Text machine is 772-7524. See, the people are encouraging Ryan's jokes. the problem. No, stop. There's people who like the jokes. No. I think they just like how bad they are. I don't think anyone

thinks that that was a good joke. Yeah, but they like encourage, they like the badness, and I don't think that's good. They like it because they know how much it's good. You hate it. I think it's the reason they like it. Well, I do hate it. And I hate that he said goat and he does a sheep. But that little laugh, him laughing at

himself is what people like. Yeah, no, I think you're right. They still haven't had anybody, though. No, 772, 774 or 5254, explain to me why the goats. Like, why that makes it better? I mean, there's, what other animal would it be good to have you walking on you while you tried to do yoga? Yoga's supposed to relax you. How is an animal walking all over you? They're all dirty and nasty and been stepping in everything.

You're sitting there slobbering in your ear. Like, who wants that when you're trying to do yoga? You're trying to get your zen and you got this thing snarling on you. The internet says the playful and affectionate nature of goats. can promote laughter and reduce stress. I don't want laugh. I thought yoga was you supposed to like, you don't want to laugh. It's not a comedy show.

But if you interact with them, it can release endorphins and foster a sense of well-being. I'm sure it'll release endorphins because I'll be like, get away from me, goat. They do. They climb right up on your back. It's not like they're just in the room with you. They're climbing all over you while you're trying to do your down-le-dog. Is there a place you can do that in Lexington? Is there a goat yoga place here?

I don't know. I'm not into that. Do you know, Mario? Feels like the kind of women you date would know where that. it is. If this has come up Friday, they had goats everywhere. We could have done it on the show. Yeah. I know they have it in Nashville. I've seen people do it, but you don't know if they

have it in Kentucky? I haven't seen it in Lexington. They have it in Versailles. You sure that's not just at a farm? Let's see. I'm just reading what it says here. Where does it? It says West Six Brewing. They have it there. They have it at West Six Brewery? Yep. Like, where in Versailles? I'm fascinated

where in Versailles? I don't know. Somebody looked that up. Somebody looked that. it up. I would go. Get some bow rounds, have a little goat yoga. Newcastle also, apparently, is a place that has it. Where's Newcastle? I don't know. You're the guy who went all over Kentucky. You can't tell me where Newcastle is? No, I'm not sure where Newcastle. It's in Henry County. All right. 859-280-22. We'll open up here in a minute. All right, so I'm going to let you two baseball nerds wax poetic about the World Series. Best World Series of my lifetime. That was awesome. From the 18 inning game to the way the game six ended with

the double play. And then game seven was just crazy. I mean, all of the drama that you would expect in a World Series. It had it all wrapped up in one game in game seven. It was great game seven. I mean, I was watching it during the postgame show. If you listen to the post game show on podcast, you'll hear us commenting about it as it was going. I mean, the Blue Jays lose by a half inch that guy at the plate. I mean, it was so close. A cleat. Yeah, and then some random, yeah, but then a random dude, Miguel Rojas, did you see the pitch he threw in order to, this was, there was like, this is science, okay? So Rojas, who hit the home run to tie. Right.

The pitch he threw required a hundred and five mile per hour bat speed to hit. Okay, you follow me? Gotcha. Yeah. And in his entire career, he had never had a hundred and five mile an hour bat. swing until that pitch. Adrenaline. Those endorphins you were talking about.

Now think about that though. That's an amazing statistic. That's something where, like, there's too much science sometimes in sports, but that's a scientific fact that's amazing to me. It required a swing that his body has never made in the history of his career. Like, he's not good enough to swing that fast. But in that moment, he did it. Wow.

Hit the home run to tie the game in the top of the ninth of Game 7 of the World Series. And then Will Smith, who was, who's first. from Kentucky. Went to Kentucky Country Day High School. People don't realize this is a teeny tiny private school in Louisville. He went to Kentucky Country Day and now hits one of the biggest home runs in World Series history. Yes. He's up to Carlton Fisk and Joe Carter.

I'm going to remember him forever now. We also can't skip over that play that the Dodgers Center filter made to run over the left filter. All right. So let's talk about that. I want to ask about that. So the manager brings him in right before that. Great move. He wasn't even in the game.

Defensive replacement? They bring him in. And then he makes that catch, knocks the guy over. What did you want to ask about? I was going to, like baseball etiquette, I played left field, but I pick flowers and waved at people in the crowd. Ball never came my way. Like, obviously it worked, but if that hadn't it worked, did he just bulldozed that guy?

I know the other guy had a bad angle is kind of over the shoulder. The other guy looks like he was in the wrong place. The center filter always takes charge. He's the one that calls all the shots. Yes. The center filter is the guy that makes all the calls out there. So center fielder's in charge. He's got priority over the balls.

to the infilters and the other outfielder. So you would blame the left filter for running into it. Get out of the way, dude. Yeah, get out of the guy's way. He called it. I mean, you know, I'm sure they're screaming at each other. I got to get out, but you can't hear in a situation like that. So just an amazing finish. Now, think about all the ways that the Blue Jays could have won. I mean, would you say this has to be one of the most heartbreaking losses for a team ever?

Yeah, on your home field. Well, first of all, go back to the 18 inning game. Yes, exactly. and lost that one. Lose the 18 inning game. Myriad of ways they could have won that game. Game six, he gets that hit and he gets stuck under the thing. Yeah.

If that doesn't get stuck, they might have won that. Right. Right. Yeah. Second third and one out even then. Second third and one out, you think you're going to get a run. Yeah, he gets second third. But it would have at least one run would have scored.

And you probably would have had the other guy on third just needing a fly ball to tie the game. Instead, they don't, you know, bases load and they do the double play. and then you get to game seven, you're up three nothing, right? You feel like you're pretty good. In the late innings, you're feeling good. You then end up with a guy who's never swung the ball. I mean, that pitch, I was listening to John Smolz, he said that pitch was perfect that the guy hit the home run. Wow.

He couldn't have placed it better. He would have thought there's no way this guy can swing this fast because he's never swung this fast. And then he does. And then you get the out at the plate. they bring in Yamamoto, who had started the night before. Over six innings the night before. So is that like the best baseball? I mean, Jack Morris is always the one people point to against the Braves

because he won game one, four, and seven, one seven and a one-oh shutout. This dude's got to be up there, though. Wins game two and six, and then pitches the key innings in game seven. Got the win in game seven. He got three wins. Three of their four wins, he got them. And then Shohei Otani also pitching off short rest. So it's, yeah, it's amazing.

It's crazy. It was like for baseball. I saw highest rated game since like 2015 and highest rated World Series since like the Yankees like in the early 2000s. It was perfect for UK football fans. We got to watch our team win and then flip over and catch the loudest couple of innings of that baseball game. It was awesome. Why does that have to do with being a UK fan? Because you're all high.

You just won the football game. Watched your team on. What if you're a Blue Jays fan? Streaming TV. I mean, that feels like all base everyone. But like what's the UK connection? The Louisville guys, the one that hit the. the home run. We just won the football game.

Flip over, watch a grade A-Dain in the baseball game. It was just a good night to sit in front of the TV and sit in your boxer shorts. Because they wear a blue. What is it with you in boxer shorts? Put your pants on. My favorite stat is a Will Smith has won six straight World Series. That is an amazing stat. Some guy named Will Smith has won six straight world

series. There's a pitcher and then there's the catcher. The catchers won three with the Dodgers and the pitcher was on three different teams. I didn't realize that. We on Matt Meyer and tried to get someone to call in whose name was Will Smith. And the guy calls in and we were like, just send us like a picture of your license. Because we just don't want somebody random to go.

And he was like, I can't. And we were like, oh, okay, why? And he was like, government and just hung up. Well, I don't know what that means. Do you? He didn't trust you with that. I mean, isn't the government the one that issued the ID to begin with? I feel like the government's already got you.

I continue to say, the government, if they want to know, the government, if they want to know, they know. They already know. Now, we give the Harold Leader a hard time sometimes. We need to give them a shout out. About the Blue Jays? No. They didn't call him a Louisville guy. He said, Kentucky and Will Smith hits the game winning home right.

Your boy sheriff had a meltdown about this. Yeah, he went crazy. The sheriff reporting for duty. You looked like the Arquette in scary movie. Hello, I'm a sheriff reporting for duty. he was very upset because they called him a Kentucky and not a Louisvilleian. But Louisville is subsumed by Kentucky.

It's state federalism. Also, he lives in Indiana. No, he doesn't. So people were pointing that out. The scarf lives in Indiana? Yeah. So he was telling people how they can talk about Kentucky and he doesn't even live in Kentucky. You mean he lives across the river?

Somebody told me he lives in Santa Claus land or whatever that is. He does not live in Santa Claus. No way. There are human beings that live in Santa Claus? Oh, yeah. Who lives in Santa Claus? He lives in the North Pole. I have friends that live in Santa Claus.

Santa Claus Indiana is a community. How many people? I know that, but how many people? I thought Santa Claus was just like for commuters and vagrants. It's a town and people live in Christmas Lake Village. They live in a place called Christmas Lake. I think Jay Cutler is from the North Pole. Jay Cutler is from.

Yeah. So let me go back. There are people that live in a place called Christmas Village. Christmas Lake Village, which is in Santa Claus, Indiana. I've been. It's Christmas everywhere. They don't turn it off. You're just saying they all 365 days a year have to think about Christmas?

Well, you don't have to, but, you know, every... But I mean, if there's candy canes up everywhere. Every street is like Jingle Bell Lane, Rudolph. There's not a Jingle Bell Lane. Yes, there is. My ex-in-laws lived in Christmas Lake Village. I've been there many times. Their roads are called Jingle Bell Lane.

Jingle Bell Lane, yeah. Is everything in the town like the restaurants like away in a burrito? Is that like, is everything Christmas themed? Have you never been to Christmas Lake? Santa Claus Indiana and Holiday World. I've heard of Holiday World. I just didn't think about how many people live there? Like how big is the population? I got it right here. You want to take a guess first? You just get 20 something. So I heard you. What is it? Well, it was 2,657. Okay. That's what's not that big. That's not counting else.

You can't count them. That's right. Yeah. They're busy in the workshop. So of the two thousand six hundred and seventy-seven three is Jay Cutler and reporting for duty. He lives in Santa Claus Indiana. According to the internet, I don't know that to be fact. But There were people replying, do you live in Indiana? Will Smith is a Kentucky. Yes, of course. He's also a Louisvillian. Those are not mutually exclusive. If Will Smith sent you his ID, well, it might say California now, but his old ID, it would say Kentucky.

That's right. Does it say Louisville? You can't get a real ID in Louisville. I don't think so. It says Kentucky on it. Well, it might say Jefferson, but that's not Louisville. That's a county. That's right. He's just as Kentucky as. Will Smith is a Kentucky. What's your name? Patty Loveless. Patty Loveless. Well, great world series. Great World Series.

And the evil team won, but that's good for the sport. Because now people keep chasing the evil empire, right? Yeah. It's like Star Wars. Like the new New York Yankees. Yeah, chase the evil empire. That's good. I was pulling for the Blue Jays just because I didn't want the Dodgers to win another one.

And I think it also proves the Reds were the second best team in baseball because we lost to the Dodgers. It got swept. I know, but it was not even close. Closer than the score indicated. It was. Middlesbril beat Sayer. They did. Yes, Middlesbril still undefeited.

Did you see one of the coaches chirped at you on, Twitter. I did not. Coach Schofner. What do you say? Well, you said Friday, I didn't process this, that they were going to eat, what was it, chicken livers and drive through the tunnel before the game? You did.

You said something like, they're just all going to eat chicken livers and drive through the tunnel. So he tweeted after the game. He tweeted you and was like, we just won and we're driving through the tunnel chopping on chicken livers. So Coach Schaffner telling you and your little preppy people to eat it. So you side with the elite. Oh, I do. We, because Drew and Shannon and I were on Middlesbrill side.

Okay. You side. You side with the 1%. We had a private jet. This would be a bad time to tell everyone I have a Sayer golf towel in my golf bag. I know, but you have a Middlesbrill shirt. And it's in my heart. I have multiple Middlesbrill shirts.

and you looked back on the Jackets, Jackets, who Almighty work all day and almighty went and beat Sayre for the 1% and you went against us and we finished undefeated, one of only 10 teams in the state to finish undefeated. How about that? And the first time since like 1999 for Kentucky. Is Bell County still running? Bell County's, they lost one, but Bell County's number one in their division.

And we're now like number three in ours. You could have a state championship. We're of the six divisions. Two of the teams are from the same county. And it's a tiny county. It's not like Jefferson or Fayette or Warren. It's just like a little bitty county. We might have two teams playing for a state time.

But they're going to recruit all of Eastern Tennessee through the tunnel. See, here he goes again with the tunnel and the chicken liver. You owe Coach Schaffner an apology. Coach Schaffner, I apologize, but I never said anything about chicken livers. Now say, apologize to Larry French. Oh, I like Larry French a lot. I apologize, Coach French. And now the team, I don't know any of the players, but say, I'm sorry to you.

There's got to be a cousin to Bobob on. there. I apologize to Bobbock's cousin. I think Bobham's cousin is on there. So the playoffs start this week. I think this week. Yeah. So I don't know I don't know who's playing who. Can we do a Middlesbrough, Madisonville, Telgate at Krogerfield for the state title?

Let's do it. We're kind of hot out. Who's good in A? Who's going to be? I know, is it Louisville Christian Academy? They're like 3A, I think. So who's in A? Who are the good teams in A? Well, Middlesbrough, probably. Well, we've already beaten Sarah. We know they're got them. Sayre, Raceland, Pikeville? Raceland's won and Pikeville.

Yeah. Now they're hard. But those are two matches. So you get mountain teams together, then that's going to be, like nobody can stop us. Sayre's a defending state champs. Well, they ain't defending anymore.

Big win. Big win. You got Middlesboro, Kentucky, and the Bears. When I was a kid, I used to talk about the trifecta. Uh-huh. How rare it was for me to get a trifecta wins. Middlesboro was always pretty good,

but Kentucky was never good, and the Bears weren't good most of my childhood. So the trifecta of not just three wins, three big wins, not against stinky teams. Well, the Bengals are stinky, but like, scored 40-7 points.

That's a great trifecta, the Middlesboro, Kentucky. And the Sayre, Auburn Bengals, I have friends that are fans of all three of them. Josh Hopkins likes all three of them. That's right.

And he took three L's. 859,000, 2807. 2287. We'll take a break. Be right back. It's KS. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending, opinions are flying, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's

It's next to they say Paul Miller Ford. Yeah. I drive by it a lot. Why did it get named that? I don't know. It was happy that maybe they developed it during Christmas time. Maybe so. The two best teams in A, the two teams ranked ahead of Middlesbrough, Kentucky Country Day.

See again. Yeah. Another set of elite rich kids. Will Smith. they won a piece. They're definitely from Kentucky, though. Yeah. But Sayre, we've already done that to one group of now we got another.

And then Campbellsville. Campbellsville. Which is crazy because I have family in Campbellsville. Can you imagine Middlesboro Campbellsville State Championship? Oh, your heartstrings will be torn. Well, no, I'm Middlesbrough. But, you know, there'll be some people over there. I'm like, I know you.

Yeah. What if you get Middlesbril, Campbellsville? It could possibly happen. Apparently, Campbellsville is very good. 859-280-2-807. Okay, so I do want to tell quickly I went with Mario on Friday to out in Lexington to find Halloween costume. Okay. This we started with, I was like, let's go to some like bars with people like our age.

First of all, hard to find those. Yes. Like, where do you even see? suggest. Like we put it out and we said where should we go? And so somebody set a bar that was underneath Everest on Alexandria. What was that place called?

Party door back down? Party door back down? Party door back down? Never been to that one. It was right under Everest on Alexandria. That had some good people watching. Everybody was in costumes. We were giving out $100 for the best costumes.

So I gave out like $600. bucks. Yeah. Gave one to a lady who was dressed as a voodoo lady. Yeah. That was good. Then we went out to a bar out on Nicholsville. What is it?

Cocktails. You went out of cocktails, too? Cocktails two. T.O. Had some folks there. Saw a lot of KSR fans out there. That's a good spot. Had people dressed as Hulk.

There was a girl dressed as Hulk Hogan and a guy dressed as macho man. They were a couple. Didn't know Hulk Hogan and macho man rocked like that. Well, but they did. You never know. Who did a better impersonation? Me or them? I was better at both impersonations than they were.

So they didn't win the money then? I did not give them the money. Then we went to a couple other places. Then we went downtown. I'm just going to tell you, in my entire life, I've never seen more people out in the city of Lexington than Friday night. It was an absolute circus. It looked like they just opened up the gates of the zoo and let everybody run out.

People. everywhere. Were most of them in costume? Almost everybody in costume. Except me, an old leather pants Mario over here. I thought he was in costume with the leather pants. What was the costume?

I was a biker. You were not a biker. Bikers. He's a word an excuse to wear leather pants. You cannot wear leather pants and just say it was a bike. You didn't even have a jacket on. You had a leather pants. You didn't have a bike.

You didn't have a jacket. You don't say like you just wanted to rock your leather pants in front of Just be honest. You were a catwoman as much as you were a biker. You were not a biker. You just had on leather pants. There was nothing else that suggested bike. You didn't have a helmet.

You didn't have anything. So we went walking around and it's some great costume. Yeah. The amount of time people put into it is amazing. Couple things. Women put much more time into it than men. Of course. Women like, it's a whole.

extensive thing. A man puts on, well, I can't say anything. I did this at the remote. A man puts on a jersey and says, look, I'm Tom Brady. I kind of did that with Ellie at the remote. Yeah, guys can go to the closet and find something that had more in a while. A jersey. Yes. Cowboy hat. They'll pull something off. A lot of people not wearing a lot of clothing. That's why Halloween is great. Yeah. Parents, you don't want to know what your kids were doing. You don't. I felt older. I mean, I felt old. But then again, there were some other, but like all the old people we gave each other

look like, yeah, we're. It was just your costume. You were going as old. Going as an old man. I was going as old. I was going as myself. Yeah. I don't have to know that.

Yeah. I was going as old man. But we gave a look at each other like, yeah, we're, we're older. I've never seen that many people. If you owned a bar in downtown Lexington on Friday, you don't, you just paid your mortgage for six months, I would assume. I saw a lot of. Groups?

A lot of groups. A group dresses the Blue Man Group. Yeah, that was cool. There were Mark Stoops people. Yes. Guy walked around with a $37 million check around his neck. He would go up to people and go, will you pay this? I saw Mitch Barnhart.

Yeah. He was wearing a... I thought you said I saw Mitch Barnhart. What was he going? Mitch Barnhart was going as Lorax. No, I saw Mitch Barnhart. He was walking around. He had a UK...

polo with the top button button, which I think is he forgot a costume, just put the UK and then said, I'm Mitch Barnhart. But it works. He made me laugh. He walked to his closet, had a UK polo, pulled it off. Shannon, here's the thing I learned. You can't have Mario in charge of a costume contest. Why is that?

There are two things that distract Mario. One is women. Yeah, well, that's understandable. But two is, I'm looking for creative costumes. Somebody put a lot of time into it. Maybe it's funny. Mario just likes things he knows. So he'll just be like, look, it's the scream mask.

I'm like, that's not a good costume. He just put a mask on. Yeah, he bought that for $30 at Halloween spirit. Yes. There's a vampire. No, he would do that. He'd be like, look, he has a fireball on. I'm like, he just bought a costume with a fireball on it.

It was not a good costume. It was like, it was like you just put on a bat. He'd be like Batman mask, but it was like a plastic one you got at the store. easily impressed on Halloween over here. Yes. So the video will come out this week of our winners. We had some big winners and it was good. Yeah, I haven't seen the video, obviously, but I saw the pictures.

It looked like a lot of fun. It was. Halloween, everybody's just always so happy. It was a great night, too. Yes, beautiful night. Yes, it was. Hopefully everybody, there was a stabbing downtown. Did you see?

Like, I think three people stabbed. What? I think everybody's okay, but it was the police. People didn't stop partying, though, at all. Even though it happened right there. We'll be right back. T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J. He'll make them pay.

Apparently, Jingle Bell Lane, Ryan, was named Jingle Bell Lane because the National Tree Company, which was the largest Christmas tree manufacturer in the country, was once located there. Makes total sense now, right? Did you know that? I did not know that.

Did you know Lexington once had that? It had no idea. There you go. There we go. You said they have good tamales. Great tamales. Great spot over there. I don't know the name because their sign just says like best tamales in the world.

So, I mean, that's why I pull in. Oh, off a new circle? Yeah, it's right over there. I've always seen that. Love that place. I never thought they, I thought that was false advertised. So the place that says they have the best tamales, they actually do have the best tamales. And I actually prefer their tacos, but good tamales also.

That's over by Jingle Bell. Interesting. College basketball starts today. Big game tonight is Florida and Arizona. That'll be our draft. Kings pick. Go to draft kings.com. Use my promo code KSR, bet five, get up to $3 $300 and bonus bets. Tonight's big game, Florida and Arizona at the Hall of Fame Series in Las Vegas. Take a guess what channel this game is on. Just take a guess.

Lifetime. It's not on Lifetime. Nickelodeon. No. True TV. True TV. You know, true TV that you only remember during the tournament? Yes. They're going to have the opener. They'll have it. Jamal Mashburn on the call. Nice. You get a little Jamal Mashburn on TV tonight.

Jamal Mashburn, Bruce Pearl. What a combination. Well, they're the studio. Jalen Rose, Jamal Mashburn, and Bruce Pearl. And Adam Lefko. And Adam Lefko. That's a good group. That is a good group.

I mean, for True TV, it's big time for True TV. I would tune in just for that. So Florida and Arizona starts at 7 o'clock. What's your draft keys pick who you got in opening night? Really the only huge game of opening night. That's a great game. Arizona is just outside the top 10, if I'm not mistaken.

We all know what Florida is. I'll say Florida wins, but Arizona's good. It'll be close. Boogie Flan making his debut for the Florida Gators tonight, so he'll probably have a big game. I'll go to Florida. What about you? Florida, by the way, is a two and a half point favorite.

If you like Florida, that's a good cover to hit. I'm going to have a couple more points. I kind of hesitate to say that Florida is going to win, but I think they still win tonight. Yeah, I'm going to take Florida as well. playing in Las Vegas. Now, Mark Pope apparently said, don't know if they'll have Lowe tomorrow.

And Aberdeen also game time decision. I know we play Nichols, say you don't have either one of them. How do you feel about the game? We saw without both of them against Georgetown, we struggled. Offense struggled a little bit, just seemed to be a little out of sync.

Georgetown's guards were better than our guards without Lowe and Aberdeen both out there. I don't think Nichols State can provide that, but we desperately need one of those two guys to get healthy before we play Louisville. I don't think we say state anymore. It's just Nichols. Times have changed, Ryan. We don't say there are no more states. Not Nichols State. Yeah, I don't, I think most of these schools, like most of them are no longer states, right? I know they dropped the state. I think Mississippi Valley maybe dropped it. I believe so. Can't drop it a long time. Utah Valley. I can't brought it back.

Oh, they did bring it back? Utah Valley dropped the state. Yeah. Get that state out of here. We don't talk like that anymore. Yeah, it's not your state anyway. Utah Valley. You just get the valley. You don't get the whole state. Yeah. So my grandfather would say, ain't no state nickels. Yeah. Where's nickel? I have Nichols facts. I did showper. Give me a little nickel. I mean, we were going to use this tomorrow. Let's use it today. What are the nickels? I just want to show off my knowledge. Honestly. They lost her top six scores. That'll hurt you.

Yep. They are. And they weren't good. They are the highest ranked of the three teams and the BBN United Topoff Classic presented by consecutive. We're coming out of the gate with the, according to Ken Palm. There's not a lot of previews out right now on these teams, but in the Ken Palm metrics, they're much higher than the other two teams. Their coach is a former player. He's only been there two years, and they won 20 games both seasons. So he's got, he's got some magic brew in there. Are you saying this could be a tough game? No, no, I'm not. But losing the six top scores hurt. They have a transfer from Iona and from Sacramento State. And I'm like in the, like in Adamson, in the move, Billy Madison when he blacks out, I don't even know what I just said,

but that's all the information. Does it worry you that low, and Aberdeen aren't certain to play. I mean, we play Louisville in eight days. They need to be on the court. We can still win this game tomorrow without them, but we need to get them on the court to get ready for more. But I mean, are you worried about the fact that they're not playing yet? Like, just in general. I'm not talking about necessarily the game tomorrow.

But, you know, we're going to be playing a huge game and may not have either one of the guys. You know, when... I mean, I think we will have them, but like, does it worry you that they will not have played much going into it? Not too much. I'm not glad Lowe's back, because when the injury first happened, I thought he's not going to be ready for months.

It looked like it was such an awful injury he first had. I still feel all right about Lowe. I think we'll see him for Louisville. You know, with the shoulder, we went through this with Lamont. You could, I think he could get hit at any time. So maybe Pope just doesn't feel like this is a risk he needs to take. Aberdeen. What is wrong with Aberdeen?

We still haven't heard anything about Aberdeen one way or the other. No, the only thing, didn't he say something about it. It was a leg injury, but he didn't specify what kind of leg injury. Yeah, but that, I mean, that could be. be anything. Exactly. He's got two of them. And he looked fine at practice. I mean, he was in uniform. He was sitting down, but it wasn't like, you know, he didn't have anything on it. Did he do, I mean,

Lowe, the practice we went to, Lowe did the warm-up stuff. Did Aberdeen? I didn't watch him the whole practice. I will say most of the time I was watching him, he was sitting down, but he was in uniform and didn't appear to be feeling much. So part of me that wonders like, is the Aberdeen thing worse than we know? Because

with Lowe, we get these definitive things, and we saw him with our eyes warming up in practice. And it looked like he was going all out. And, of course, there were non-contact drills, but he was going all out on the shooting drills. I didn't see Aberdeen do any shooting drills of practice. Well, before the Georgetown scrimmage, Aberdeen did, he was one of the first people out, and he was more goofing off, but he was out there dribbling and throwing lobs to his teammates.

And that wasn't a lot of activity, but it wasn't like he was sitting there with his leg propped up. He was out there doing a little bit. Do you have any lingering effects of the Georgetown gamer, or is that just going to be one of those games that evades our memory? and we just go, yeah, that was weird. I feel like the Purdue game mattered. Georgetown game didn't matter. That's the fan base.

But is that you? I think it's probably most of us. Like, ah, Georgetown, that doesn't matter. Now, the Purdue game, that matters. Georgetown game doesn't matter. We didn't have our point guard. You know, their guards were better than our guards, and we got beat. I got news where any of the one of them mattered.

You're still O and O. Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say, though, Purdue mattered. It mattered for my psyche. No. Because these teams are all, these announcements, are all still picking Purdue to win the national championship. And we beat them. That Georgetown, that was different.

Well, we had Aberdeen with Purdue. Completely different team. It is weird, though, to see how different we looked. I mean, that was a 30-point difference in those two games. Those were two good guards, too. Yeah. I'm not defending. The defense was horrible.

But those guards were tough. They are good. And R.J. Lewis was a good player in Arizona. got to shoot better. They didn't shoot the three very well. Didn't shoot free throws very well. I mean, they got to clean that up too, despite the lack of offensive. So you, this week,

I don't want to ask Ryan, because we know what happens when I asked Ryan. Drew, do you have any concern about these two games this week? I'll say no, but they need to get Aberdey and a low back. Chandler, I love them. I still have some stock in them. Are you still? Yeah, yeah, we'll be fine. I'll admit, though, couldn't guard anybody Thursday. I was very surprised how poor he was defensively.

because last year he showed signs of being able to guard people, but he was awful. Remember the Arkansas game? He was being the best offenders. Yeah, I hate to crush the kid because I think he can be good. But he was awful that entire game on both sides of the floor. It's not a good game. I mentioned this on pregame show for football,

but we are running a special on the Colin Chandler fan club right now. It's not closed, but we have some offers if you want to get in. That was a low point. but that's to get back to just what the Georgetown game means. That's not the team we're going to be watching this season. So I do throw it away. Now, if these injuries linger, that is the team we're watching, but I don't think that will be the case.

Yeah. When person writes, Matt, you're stressing on the Aberdeen thing way too much. I'm not stressing, but I always, I, my only, my first mild annoyance of the Pope era is the way they're handling injuries. Yeah. Like this is just, I think he's so good with media and they're so good with fans and they're so good about like but lingering injuries and not saying i just don't think that's the way to go because it leads to people you know it leads to people speculating which is not good

call the coach's show maybe you can get some scoop from them well they're not oh wait a minute are they taking calls on the monday coaches show do they not they don't do they're not taking them on the pregame show anymore yeah we're getting more Dave and Cameron yelling at each other that's what we need. Unless Bob and James Town. I feel like that was, by the way, a direct slap to Bob and James Town. When they canceled the calls to the pregame show, they might as well have just canceled Bob and James Town.

Well, that's what they did. They called Bob. That was the announcement. There wasn't a release or an email. We just called Bob and told him to stop calling. We blocked your number, Bob. Because he would get it on every one of them. That was his moment of shining glory.

Every day pregame show, every time. got in. They got to talk to Dave and Cameron. Yeah. So I don't know about tonight. I'm somebody will ask Mark tonight. Well, I don't even know are they even doing a show because there's a women's game tonight. I mean, Stoops will do his game. Oh, there might not be a Stoops or a Pope show, right? I don't know what they're doing. The women are at 630, so there may not be either one of them. We need to get Billy. Yeah, Billy would know the answer to that. We'll figure it out. What time is that? Six or seven. At least I wrote about it on the website. The game's at 630. Well, I'll have to figure that out, but he'll do a show. You can not do your college show because there's a

this show this is the tonight to do it. You just beat Auburn on the road. Yeah, they'll do a call. All right. 859-28027. Tell me about Stockton Mortgage.

Did Ryan make any children cry at his Halloween? I did. I made one little boy about five years old, just burst out in tears. But then I got on his good side. I said, look, I won't scare you. I'll go scare your brother. And that he immediately stopped like you.

How was the brother? By seven. Okay, that's not, it's still children. You made him cry. Yeah. So you made two brothers cry. Yeah. Do their families not get mad?

I had a couple of people write to say that if Ryan made him of my child cry, I would scream at him. It's all in fun. I think the parents... Well, I mean, the parents may not think that. Yeah, I think the parents are, you know, they appreciate me scaring the bejesus out of their kids, and maybe they'll listen to them next time. One person writes, how about Matt, the fact that YouTube TV still doesn't

have ESPN? I couldn't believe they got through Saturday and Sunday with football and didn't have that settled. I really thought that would... I can't believe they have any subscribers left after that. Remember Monday Night Football's tonight. Oh, wow. I mean, that's the... They didn't have NFL. fell yesterday. So this, I think, really hits them tonight. Yeah. With Monday night football.

If they don't do it tonight, then you got to wonder, like, well, this one feels a little different because ESPN is actually pushing an app. In the past, they bicker, and it's, I want more money. You know, you don't get more money. And it's just rich companies being rich. But ESPN, seems like they're going to hold their ground. They went through a whole Saturday of college football trying to get people to go to this app. And I, and it's way too expensive. It was way, it was really complicated to get on that app. Yes, it was. As somebody trying to do it.

I finally did, but I felt like you needed a college, you know, PhD to get on the app. And I don't like, they try to be like, we're going to let everybody see Game Day today. You did that to get everybody excited and then direct them to your app at noon. But it also seems like the people are siding with YouTube TV. It seems like ESPN is losing the PR battle, which surprises me. I thought it would be the exact opposite. I did too, because I would have thought you'd be like, I want to. want to see the games. Well, remember from Kentucky purposes, tomorrow night, if we don't have

it, you can't see the Kentucky game again. Because tomorrow night, that's a computer game. Computer game. Women's games tonight's a computer game. So there's computer, we have computer game. I think Friday's a computer game too. I think we have everything's a computer game here early. So just something to watch. 859-280-2087. We'll take a break. Be right back. KSR.

Final statement, is this called Aberdeen? It is. This is Cage the Elephant, Kentucky Band, has a song called Aberdeen. Look at that. That's great. You're probably going to be hearing that a lot. All right, so let's think. What could be songs for the players?

This is Aberdeen. Yep. All right. So I like this. So I should get to know this song, right? That's right. Yep. Get low, get low, get low. Yeah. For Jane.

Away. Away. Yeah. But what about one Shannon can play? We can do the O-Way. then what's a Mo Diabate song? Mo Money, Mo Problems? Dude, we're killing it. All right, what's a Brandon Garrison song?

Oh, there's a rapper B.G. Who has some great music, but I can't think. Is there like a Let's Go Brandon song we can play? Like one of those trophy songs? Yeah, I don't know what the Lance Go Brand. But you don't hear that phrase as much anymore. That was a thing for a long time. Six-seven replaced it.

Oh, my goodness. Yeah. The six-seven thing. Yeah. it like, although now I think adults know it so much that the kids think it's cringe. Kids are moving on. Kids are moving on. Just as adults discover it, they're like, okay, we have to move on now.

Not cool anymore. Yeah, which I think is good for everybody. Who else on the team do we have? It's Colin Baton Rouge. Ah. Dude, you're killing it. Colin Baton Rouge for Colin Chandler? This is one of those skills I have that don't matter for anything in the morning.

Cam Williams. Cam, Cam. There's got to be something that says cam with a camera. Yeah. I don't have that one. All right. There is one, though. I'm sure that one's out there somewhere.

Yellovich. That might be a little tough. Well, yell. Yeah, you can do something with. Rebel Yell of him. There we go. We got it. This is the kind of insight that you get here.

Trent Noah. We got to find one for him. There's got to be a song, even a biblical song that mentions Noah. Right? Built the ark. That's a Bible school song. How does it go?

There's that one voice. No, built the ark. I don't remember the next line. You're making that out. No, I'm not. You just said, well, the Bears had a guy yesterday who his name was Zakias. Yeah. Which led to me and Hubby trying to sing that song, which is like,

Zachias was a wee little man and a wee little man was he. Oh, yeah. I remember that song. He d'abra in the Jesus. Is the Trent's going to run out of the tunnel in this? Or where are we playing this? Is this? Am I the only one that remembers this?

Like, he was like, Zachius was like a wee little man. Jesus was walking through and he couldn't seem. So he climbed up into a sycamore tree. He was in a sycamore tree. That's it. Yeah. Right?

Yeah. And then what? Then he fell out of it. That would not be a good song. And then he fell on his head. It tells him to come down from that tree. He says, no, he does. He says, come down from that tree and be with me.

Sure. All right, so there's Trino. Okay, moving on. Malacomareno. Malacomareno. Oh, that's going to be a tough one. Whoa. Okay, but you got more.

More. More. Oh, we cried more, more, more. That's Rebel Yale. You know, that's where I already got that song. I would say I have to use it for two. But when he says we cried more, more, more, that makes more sense for Moreno. Yeah.

Right. Then we don't have one for Yelovich. All right. What about Jasper? That's going to be hard. Tough. Unless there's a Johnson. Yeah.

All right. Well, these are the important things we have to decide. We got most of the players. We did pretty good there. One person writes, Matt, with Mark Stoops. What if you were Mark Stoops' PR representative, which you were, you tell him to do over the next few weeks? Win.

Yeah. He can't. At this point, he can't win by anything he says. I would say to him, win and be yourself, right? So if you win, show that emotion. That's good. People like it. You know, I kind of liked hearing his voice crack on the postgame show.

It meant how much this program means to him to get that win for everybody. But at this point, it's just win. Like, there's really, there's no, the sales jobs and the sort of PR, that was kind of, in my opinion screwed up at prior. At this point, the only thing to do is win and then try to get slowly more and more fans on your side. There are going to be something you can't get. Yeah, and continue to be appreciative like he was after the game and have pride of your team, but don't flex. Because remember when Cal beat Auburn and he sat down and did the, well, look who came to what? And then he lost like the next five games. Like don't get.

Hang on. Will you do that in person? Do you remember that? Okay, hang on. Kentucky beats Auburn. you do John Caliperi walking into the press game. He came in, he sat down. I don't need the narrative. You just be John Calapari. Well, look who came to watch my funeral. Watch my last game. Came to watch me lose on the planes.

Nanny, nanny booboo. Lost five games in a row after that. You can't do that. You can't get too cocky over one win like that. I have to tell you, I forgot the nannani booboo. Do you remember that part, though? No, I do remember. Because I think Jeff Goodman was there.

He did. He saw Jeff Goodman. saw Pat 40 and he wanted to talk trash to him. So don't do that. Don't do that. I don't think Mark would do that. I don't. Thank you all very much. We will see you tomorrow. This has been Kentucky Sports Radio.
