Ryan and Drew here live at Lexington and Calick High School. They got the White Greer and Maggard Holiday Classic coming up. Our first game today is Woodford County and McCracken County in the consolation game,

but Brandon Salzman was just up here, giving us kind of a little lowdown on the final four tonight, Drew. Yeah, it sounds like Boyd County, this Jacobs-Ferlock's real deal. He's committed to Youngstown State, averaging 36 points a game. Yeah, I was just trying to pull up. Look like he had a huge game recently. I saw they were writing about him on a Youngstown State website as a potential starter as a true freshman. They're already getting excited about them with the Penguins.

But he'll be one to watch, really lighten it up. And then we just heard from our friends here at Prep Spin that there was a rain delay last night. How do you have a rain delay? William said it was raining in the gym coming out of the air conditioning vent. We'll get that fix before the big games coming up today. Yeah, I got the final four tonight, 6.30 and 8 o'clock, and then the championship tomorrow night at 7 o'clock. So we want to see some good basketball coming out here and check them out.

I mentioned that we said earlier, but Davis County North Laurel has a little head-to-head. Could be a Mr. Basketball Showdown, too. Yeah, so they got some good friendships. Reach Davidson for North Laurel, who's committed to liberty. It can be a flame. And Jonathan Moss plays for Davis County. decommitted from UT Chattanooga opening up his recruitment, but our little

sources, Maryland's coming after him. Oh, Maryland, who's your little source? Because that wasn't said here in the gym. That's an outside source. I don't reveal my sources. Was it to the Tex-Mittance? 5-027, 35, 3, 3,000, 3,80? 35-3680. There you go.

I've saved this topic until we had some time to talk about it. But Matt did his first play-by-play ever of any sport on national radio, on ESM. radio. He is thrown into the wolves to do the Western Kentucky Southern Miss New Orleans Bowl game Tuesday night. It was after the Kentucky game, so I know a lot of fans

watch Kentucky, listen to Kentucky, then flipped over to listen to Matt. Did you get a chance to hear any of his play-by-play? Tuesday was my hectic day, but I did manage ends and out here and there hopping in the car. I caught bits and pieces. So I can't say I heard the full game broadcast, but I caught a little first half, caught a little early second half, and then I caught the very end. So I heard enough. I feel like he did really well. They seemed to just be having a lot of fun.

I mean, sometimes Myron, when he was chiming in, really had nothing to do with the football game, but that's exactly what I expected. That's right. And what I wanted. You know, I hate to brag on him because, you know, we're all like brothers. We like to pick on each other.

He did a good job. You could not tell. That was his first ever play-by-play. You could tell he's prepared, and he did a good job. And actually, I was kind of proud of him the way he handled the game. When I first listened,

It was probably second quarter, I'd say. I was getting some doof and smirch vibes. I think the excitement was getting to them. There was some screaming. It was good. He was doing a good job, but it was a version of Matt. I don't hear very often. It threw me off a little bit.

When I came back in the second half, the excitement had come down a little bit. It was still an exciting game, which helped. I mean, that was a fun fast-paced. Both those teams play fast, but it added to it. But when I first heard him, it was my man was on fire. It was good. The Doven-S-Merts. decided to join the broadcast team of Matt and Myron.

I heard it the worst when he had a break in the action, and he asked Myron, who has appeared in the Superdome the most outside of a pro team or a team? And Myron guessed the Pope, and Matt just went crazy. The Pope and the had the largest crowd. Okay. That's what it was. The who had the largest crowd.

It's a little better than the most. Who had the largest crowd at the Superdome, and it was the Pope. and Duf and Smurts Dufant Smurts was definitely loud and proud about that. Well, you know, I've talked to Doof for about an hour and a half last night talking NFL, but the broadcast did come up, so I have his version. Okay, let's hear it.

I can tell you a few things. Now, I know he's going to want to talk about this when he gets back, but he's on vacation. He's like, this will be old news by the time we hear from him. It's true. He did tell me that he was torn between staying off his phone for criticism or looking at it. He didn't want to get in his own head if he was getting negative. negativity online. So he wasn't looking at his phone, but he finally looked at it, and he had zero text and zero tweets.

So he thought he was doing a bad job. But then his producer told him that, like, the first eight minutes of the game weren't even on radio because Louisville Toledo went long. So he and Myron called, you know, much of the first quarter to no one. And they didn't even know it was to no one. So he checked his phone and no one there because the way he freaked out. No one's talking. He didn't know. That's when the producer chimed in.

By the way, we're still not on area. The other game ran long. So the beginning of the game, he's calling it, thinking everyone's out there listening, and he and Myron didn't even know they were calling it to no one. But they have them do that because they want to have the, you know, the five minutes, something were crazy to happen. That's true.

You go to Sports Center, you know, the radio call. You know, they want him doing it like there is an audience, but he was surprised to learn that the first few minutes he and Myron were talking to a wall. But I guess that helped him a little bit with nerves once he learned that. When they first flipped over to the broadcast, the first drive we hear, Matt gets to call like a long touchdown run. And I'm thinking myself, he nailed it.

He did such a good job. He got excited. He called it the right way. He did a good job. And then they call the touchdown back on penalty. And you can hear it in his voice. Like, oh, I guess that didn't matter, did it? He did it say it's the most he's prepared for anything you can really remember.

He's like, there's never been a play-by-play guy that has done more prep because he just wanted to make sure he knew everything. He said because of the teams were so fast-paced, it made it. it a little harder because you want a little downtime to give your spotter and your stats got time to relay. You know, that was number 82, so-and-so for seven yards. But because those teams play so fast, it's almost like they had to get to the next play without having a little buffer to get all the info in. So he said that added a challenge with the matchup they had of two teams that play so fast. And I really think he did a good job.

For his first time ever to do he did a good job. And then the local team, Western Kentucky, won the game. So it kind of worked out perfect for him, I feel like. That helped. He mentioned, you know, he gets to meet with the coaching staffs beforehand. Right. He said he was shocked at how much they tell play-by-play guys. They were telling them, like, we're going to run this sickest trick play at this time.

Like they were just giving them a heads up. We're going to run trick plays. We're going to do this. We're going to do that. Yeah, he was spoiling some of the secrets on the new episode of Cover Zero. Go listen to that. Available now, I think. If it's not available now, we'll be later.

But he said, from now on when I'm watching these guys and the announcers, call out the play before it happens or know a trick play, it's not as cool anymore. because the coaches literally say exactly what they're going to do. And he said it was interesting. He met with one coach who kind of obviously revealed the game plan. And then he goes and meets with the other coach who's saying what they're going to do. But Matt already had the answers in his head.

And he has to sit there with a poker face and not react. Because I guess Southern Miss wasn't preparing for a quarterback change that Western made. But Matt knew that Western was ready to make that change. So he's in his Southern Miss meeting and they're not prepared for the backup. Matt's like, this is so wild. I know what both sides are doing. But I guess, you know, that happens in all game. Basketball, football, the play-by-play people get a little bit of scoop.

That's right. Western went with the quarterback Maverick. Yeah. They put in Maverick. What a great name for a quarterback, Maverick. Big transfer came from the same school as their offensive coordinator. He was their quarterback for most of the year, and they brought him in. I know West should end up winning him by a couple scores, but it was still a close game for most of it.

So even though they got off topic a little bit here and there as Matt and Myron can do the football. helped them out a little bit by being exciting. I thought they did a great job. I was really, tip my hat to both those guys. They did a good job. You've done it, but I mean, could you? I've not done at that level.

But you think you could handle it? Sure. You can't. Sure. Why not? Now, I guarantee you he prepared probably more than I would have. I would have my big board, my team boards ready to go. But he really did.

You know, he actually read all the game notes. I don't know if I can read that much. We believe that. There were a few times when I was listening where he'd be like number 82, Brown, with 16-yard catch. Nice out route. You know, he's from so-and-so high school, number three recruit and state of whatever,

and I'm thinking, who is this Matt? Yeah. Who normally doesn't even bother to get the pronunciation right is just reading me a full bio on the fly during the game. So he was very prepared. Of all the stuff we've been around him doing, that's the most nervous he's ever been. I think he's the most anxious and nervous he's ever been.

So I send him some notes that, hey, man, you're doing a good job. You're killing it. Just keep it up. Just kind of because I think he needed that little confidence, that reassurance that, hey, man, we're doing okay. Maybe they'll get another one next year. I don't know if he wants a full-time gig, but it didn't sound like he enjoyed it. Yeah, during both season, I think for sure. While we're on the college football front, Michigan finally found their head coach,

Kyle Winningham, from Utah. So maybe one of the most iconic college football programs in America hires a guy from Utah, and one of the most iconic basketball programs, Kentucky, hires a coach from BYU. Look at this, the Utah takeover. The Utah takeover. What is going on with that? Are you implying that there's just a Utah takeover everywhere? There may be.

It's happening. Is the breeding ground for top hot coaches in Utah? I don't know, but Whittingham, been there a long time. I think the second longest tenured coach in football, been there like close to 30 years, but not more than 20 years. So, you know, Michigan didn't have a lot of options late in the game. That's true. It played out with more.

I think that ended up being about as good as they could do, because even though it is Utah, not exactly a power, he's done a lot of winning there, and he had just stepped away from Utah and then gets the job. And they already did a press conference at the ball game, rolled him right out. So it's surprising hire there. I was secretly rooting for Brom just to blow up Louisville

and have to have to deal with that. I enjoyed Brom's name being in the mix. But I think given the circumstances with the mess Michigan has right now, that was a good hire. Yeah, there was a day or two where it looked like Brom may be one of their top candidates. Did you buy into that? A little bit. I mean, you just didn't have much.

left where it's you know this time of the season hires have been made I was to watch and just to see how that would plan if braham went what that would mean for Vince merrow would he go would Vince get kind of left out there does Louisville keep Vince you know I just wanted to see what the carousel would have been locally if braham had taken the Michigan job well the Michigan is a mess right now so whoever steps into that they had to it this had to be a good hire not just from the football but the organization needed a good leader this guy apparently Apparently, that's the perfect fit then what they're looking for. Yeah, that was big news.

I don't know if you saw Elaine Kiffin in his leather jacket showing up at LSU's ball game. Leaving early. He did a little bit there. It's going to be such a circus around him. It already is. But fans are taking videos of him getting in his car with two hours left still in the game. Now I're complaining about Lane. It's just going to be a circus down there in Bat Rouge.

I'm excited to watch from afar having no stake in that game. He could have handled things a lot better. There's no doubt about it. with Ole Miss getting ready to play Georgia now. His old team getting ready to play Georgia. He was talking about on the bow, I guess LSU played Houston in a bowl game, but he was talking about how excited it was for Ole Miss. And, you know, he still gets a bonus if Old Miss wins.

Yeah. Weird, weird, weird circumstances. Then he heads to Oxford next year. That's one, I don't, you know, I only get to follow Kentucky games. That's one I'd love to take off the UK game and just be a part of that atmosphere. Lane Kiffin takes LSU into Ole Miss, also takes LSU into Kroger Field to play Kentucky next year. That's right.

And Ole Misses, as they should be, they're so mad at him. That would be a, if he thought Tennessee fans gave it to him bad, when he had that reunion, the Ole Miss one would be fun next season. All right, well, take our break, come back. Phone lines are open. Got a couple teams coming out now, getting some shots up, warming up a little bit. It's McCracken County and Woodford County in the first game today. Ryan Lemmon and Drew Franklin, we'll be right back.

Mark Pope made a big announcement that they're going to wear the denim uniforms on February 7th against Tennessee at Rupp Arena. Almost 30 years to the day, they debuted the denim uniforms back in 1996. I love it.

I love the fact they're going to wear them. I love the fact that it's against Tennessee. I love the fact it's on the 30-year anniversary of it. Yeah, very excited about this. Hopefully the team is in great shape and can get a win in them because that is most important. Those jerseys, even though they still have mixed reviews and at the time had negative reviews, people forgot. Oh, yes. There is a winning tradition in those jerseys.

So if we're going to break them out, we need to be serious, we need to be in a great spot. We're playing Tennessee in Rupp Arena. We really need to defend Rupp Arena throughout all of the SEC to have a shot at winning the league. But that game especially, you cannot slip up. Big Saturday in February bringing back the 30-year rendition of those. got to have a good team and got to get a win. I know you had a Walter McCarty denim jersey. Do you still have it?

I do. Still have it. I mistakenly wore it to a bachelor party in the infield of Talladega. There is a smell and a color that will not ever come off, but I still own it, even though it isn't a trash bag. Shouldn't warn it down there for that trip. But me and many others my age, you know, I'm 40. I'm right in that sweet spot where that 90-16 was everything to us. I've said this many times.

I had, if you could fit that Meadowland's Statue Liberty logo on something, I had it. The trash can in my room, the pillows in my room, the posters in my room, my T-shirts, my shorts. I had the denim stuff back then. I now have two different pairs of the denim shorts. I have the road denims and the home white denims. That year, that season, that jersey, loved it, loved everything about it. And I cannot wait for it to come back. You're right.

A lot of people didn't really like them back then. The slogan was, it ain't the denim. it's what's in them because people didn't like it. I went back and I was reading some of the stories that were written back then just the other day, Patino had a great quote. Someone asked about the denim and he, you know, typical Patino. He said in the press conference, that's the worst question I've ever gotten in my 21 years of coaching. I thought that's such a Rick answer to say that.

It just shows his thoughts of the denim at the time. They had no idea we'd be talking about him 30 years later. But the newspaper story I read was talking about how the call-in show after the game, even though Kentucky won and beat Arkansas. Just people complaining about the denim. Billy Packer was comparing it to North Carolina colors, almost universally hated in the moment. But now we're so excited to come back.

So a year later. It's because they finish with the ring. I will add one Mark Pope played his best game in the denim, the debut denim. He had 16 and 11 against Arkansas. And then four days later, wearing the denim again, game two of the denim, had another double-double.

his first back-to-back double-doubles, 11 rebounds in both games. So maybe the fans, the coach, Billy Packer, some of the players didn't like him in the moment, but Pope saw an instant, found some instant success in them. Maybe they'll have that again this season. Rub it off. That's why he liked it so much. He played so well in him, his players will do it too. So February 7th, Tennessee Rupp Arena.

You were covering the team then? I was. Did you like them? Was it like, it feels like such a big thing now, but in the moment, was there a build-up, or did they just run out wearing them? Like, how does it was the actual? Do you remember, like, the actual launch? I don't remember the actual launch.

I can't remember how much of a buildup their way. If there was any buildup, it was only a day or two, not much. And then when they came out, people, there were probably more people disliked them than liked them because it's not the standard blue and blue and white uniforms, you know. And nowadays, you know, people wear different shoes and alternate uniforms. But at the time, that was, do not touch our Kentucky blue. All right, 859-2-8-7. Who we got, Rick?

Got Joe up first. Go ahead, Joe. Yeah, thank you, gentlemen. I think Drew, that special teams coordinator is a big hire. He's got a couple of years up at Ohio State, so I pretty much surmise that he can do it up there. Maybe he can do it down here. I think it's just really his most important hire.

Special teams at Kentucky are good. We got a chance with the biggest victories next year. And quickly on Rees Shepherd, grew, go back and look at some old taste of a guy named John Stockton. They used to play for the Utah team. Him and Carl Malone had one of the greatest one-two combinations ever in the NBA. And with that big center up there called Sagoon at Houston, I can see Reed and that young man having one help a damn 10 years

and being the new Stockton and Malone in the NBA. Any comments on that? Appreciate it, Joe. Thank you. What do you think about that? think Reed can be the next John Stockton with the Sagoong guy out of Houston. First of all, I'm a little insulted. They had to explain John Stockton to me.

John Stockton is not that old, right? I mean, I feel like we know who John Stockton is. But you're still kind of a baby in our eyes. You're a young puppy. I own a John Stockton jersey. Utah Jazz, number 12, Purple Jersey, yes. I'm very familiar with John Stockton. Gonzaga legend, NBA legend.

We all know the Jazz Stockton Malone. So I'm a little insulted there. Yeah. Should be. That is a great. I don't know if Sagoon and Shepard could get to that level, but the way he's playing, he's got a little stocking to him. It helps having Durant also next to him.

That's been my favorite thing of Reed Shepard. You know, we were talking about we just played Travis Perry in this gym just a couple of years ago, and I am watching him chest bump Kevin Durant for a contender in the NBA. My brain, even though, you know, we've already been, the Reed surprise happened and we was in Kentucky, that breakout, my brain still can't grasp the NBA. starting point guard playing with Ken Durant version of Reed Shepard. It all happens so quickly. The Rockets play

the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis on February 2nd. I already had people text me. I've got tickets. I'm going. The question is, do you wear Kentucky blue or do you wear Houston Rockets red? You got to wear Blue. You got to stand out a little bit. Helps you stand out. You'll get a little nod. Maybe you'll get a little

point from Reed. Yes. Do Kentucky shirt Rocket Shorts? We'll hit Reed with his own there. But you're right, man. He's playing great. I mean, he's Just playing lights out right now. He started the year that they were on national TV, maybe even the first game of the entire season, and he could not play defense,

and he became a joke on NBA Twitter. And once you become a joke on NBA Twitter, it's hard to get out of that. Brandon Knight is still a joke on NBA Twitter. Once they get their claws on you, there's no break in that. But since that opening week of the season where he looked a little rough,

he has been getting better and better and has become a real star for the Rockets, and hopefully they're a team that can be playing for something bigger at the end of the year and we're watching him in the playoffs. Just seeing him on Christmas Day. As I said, I can't grasp. We called the Region 13th region.

That was three years ago. And now he's playing Christmas Day NBA and Hattown jerseys. Loving up Loves to Kevin Durant. Yeah, and he's only going to keep getting better and better. And as the caller said, I don't know if we'll get to a John Stockton level, but they do have something brewing there with that one too. 859-2-80-2-287. Who's next, Rick?

Dennis is up next. Dennis, go ahead, Dennis. It looks like the buzz is that Cutter Bowley is going to have some of the competition in the spring. Well, I mean, nothing has been official yet that they're bringing in a transfer portal. Something has happened during the show started Drew, but right now Cutter's the guy.

They've already said Cutter's the guy, and they've convinced him into states, but surely there'll be another quarterback come in. Well, there's a buzz on Twitter that Nova said is It's going to enter the portal, and right now, Kentucky is odd favor to Atlanta. Appreciate the phone call. Yeah, I mean, he hasn't entered the portal yet. Probably won't until they get beat, I would think.

Yeah, it's hard to talk about the backup behind Dante Moore at Oregon's expected into the portal. Portal season starts Friday. Starts this Friday. So we'll really start getting news. You know, I can assume Kentucky's going to be in the mix, but you also, because of the Will Stein connection, but that's going to be a guy that's going to get a lot of offers. You have Bowley. Kentucky's budget ain't huge, and they have a lot to go get.

They need five starting offensive lines. Lost every offensive lineman. Maybe Novosat ends up coming here. I have no idea. He is entering the portal. But Kentucky's got a lot of portaling to do coming up on Friday with only so much in the grocery budget. Your priority's got to be offensive line, and backup quarterback is in the mix after that, I think. Yeah.

You have cutter. you might not be a year to go out and spend three or four million on a quarterback. You have so many needs. Cornerback, receivers running. I mean, they need not everything, but close to everything. Specifically, that offensive line has to be completely rebuilt to have any kind of year. I wouldn't be shocked if the nor of a sad guy ended up here, but nothing's official yet. Like I said, he hasn't entered the portal yet.

But maybe he would be a guy especially if he's got a good relationship with Will Stein. That is a name to watch just with the Oregon connection. All right, well, take our break, come back, go back to the phone lines. Got a couple lines open now. 859-280-2287. Ryan and Drew, we'll be right back on Kentucky Sports Radio. Speaking of Stockton Mortgage, you know a lot of people probably got a new home in their Christmas stocking. Oh, nine, wow.

Maybe you're getting a multiple offer situation, true. You hold your pre-approval letter. I'm already pre-approved for this price. Give me the keys.

Boom, let's go. So Stockton Mortgage, NMLS, A259, Equal Housing Lender. They'll hook you up with the loan officer. Hold your hand to the start of the finish gate, the finish line, not the starting gate, the finish gate, the finish line. at the closing table. So there you go. Stock to Mortgage. Great people to work with, especially when you're doing your mortgage, refinance, cash out refinance, whatever, they can do it all for you.

Check them out of Stockton.com. Can I give me my scoop from our shoot around here? Yeah, I heard that. Yeah, go ahead. I heard you talking a little scoopy right there. Well, I wouldn't call it scoop. I was just watching here. Woodford's warming up. They're shooting way too many 30-foot threes.

I don't know if they're going to be doing that in the game, and I don't think they made any. So just watching the little shoot around here, felt like they were just chucking up shots. It's maybe not going over things they should be going over. Now, I could be wrong. They could come out here and just be hitting NBA 3s the whole game, but it looks like that's all they were doing. Now, we did get some scoop on this Spurlock kid, too, from Boyd County that's coming in to play Lexington Catholic tonight.

He'll pull up from the logo. Is that the school? From the logo. Cross the standing line, the Danny Haney logo, court logo, boom, and shooting it up. I did hear Brandon tell his team. However quick you think they're going to shoot, they're going to shoot quicker. So as soon as it goes the other way, get ready for a shot. to go up.

And he's already committed to Youngstown State. I got a little nugget on Youngstown State. Tell us. They're coached by Ethan Faulkner. You may think, well, who's Ethan Faulkner? Basketball fans around Kentucky may remember the Faulkner twins from Elliott County that went all the way to the state semifinals before losing to Covington Holmes in 2009. So Ethan Faulkner is the head coach and his twin brother Evan Faulkner is the assistant coach.

I remember that Elliott County team, man, they were good. They were fun to watch, too. And those two twins were like little water bugs out there, like, you know, all over the place. It's a fun connection. Do you know we also have a Youngstown connection from Kentucky? What's that? We went to a Youngstone game. Yes, we did.

Ohio featuring freshman Gabe Dines. Yes. Who is from Kentucky. He played two years there and is now at USC. A big fellow. He got a few minutes in that game. Young kind of got the baby deer thing going on because he's like seven foot something. But he was a Youngstown for a couple of years until leaving the season.

Didn't Reese Potter? also playing that game? Was he in that game? I thought that's where you were going. I thought we saw Reese Potter transferred here. No, I don't think Reese Potter was in that game. We can say it was if you want.

Fun times at Ohio. All right, we talked a little basketball transfer portal stuff, a little football transfer portal stuff, but our UK volleyball teams kind of got a little roster shake-up from the transfer portal. Yeah, we're excited. Craig Skinner's bringing back just about everyone. We lost with Eva Hudson, right?

That was it. Now that's a pretty big loss. We can't just shrug that off as nothing. But otherwise, I think eight of the top nine rotation players are back. And then they did have one, I don't know if it's a huge loss because it's a depth piece, but we did lose someone to Louisville. Yes. Three. Brooke, Baltimore?

Baltimore, yeah, here for three years. You hate to lose anybody, but you really hate to lose them to your arch rival who's really good right down the road. And she was in all SEC. freshman played well last year. I think my understanding is playing time went down quite a bit this year. I even read that she played in like half the set she played in as a freshman. So, you know,

I'm not, won't pretend to be the expert on the volleyball roster, but it seems that she was expecting more out of this year for herself. Didn't play quite as much. And then she puts out a statement of thinking Kentucky how she hates to have to do it, but you go into the rival? Yeah, that's tough.

Spend everything brewing here. We're going to win the national championship next year. like her and Vince Merrill kind of, you know, forgetting about us and going. Yeah, they can go hang out. They go hang out now. We did add Morgan Gardy, though, from Notre Dame. Yes.

She was an All-American honorable mention. Six-five outside hitter. Won't say that she can replace Hudson because nobody can replace Hudson, but that seems to be Skinner's answer to losing Hudson outside. She'll slide in. And with all the returners coming back, we'll do this run again and hopefully have one more win on the back end of it. Yeah, if he can retain everybody else,

else, you know, losing the Brooke hurts, obviously. But if you retain everybody else, you've got to feel really good about making another run-it-back-ne-back-ne-year type of season. Yeah, and as far as I know, it seems like he expects to have everyone back. I mean, you know, we've got Brooklyn Delay, O'Brien, Molly. I mean, we can name of all. We just watch them play. Should have everyone back. But Hudson, as she heads to the Pro League.

I saw she signed with Atlanta. So good for her. In League One volleyball, well, it gets to stay in the U.S., that starts coming up next month. but Hudson signed a pro contract to keep playing. Very good for her. Good for her. But there's your volleyball roster shakeups. I don't like losing Baltimore to Louisville,

but you add Gardy and we'll run it back next year and hopefully make another long run with one extra win on the back. Yeah, I don't necessarily like us trading stuff with Louisville. Like we gave them, we didn't give them, but Vince left to go there. Then we bring back Pete Nottah came back over here. Then another guy, Chris, I can't remember his name. He went to join Vince over at Louisville.

Like we're kind of bouncing back and forth here. Will Stein is bringing a lot of guys on his staff that used to coach there, played there, whatever. It's kind of. It's getting weird. It's getting a little weird. Kelsey's doing the friendly license plate thing. Some of us still have true hatred in our heart for Louisville,

and we'll never let that go. I'm not playing nice. I'm not transferring to Louisville. Louisville Sports Radio and coming up on down the road. Some people, Vince included, have tweets to delete and some pictures to delete of some arrows down. But, you know, she's now adding to the list heading over that way. I think she's from Cincinnati.

So maybe she didn't come up in the rivalry like a lot of us, but still a big move going from Kentucky to Louisville there in volleyball. Speaking of Cincinnati, I was there Saturday night to watch Hamilton. Oh, a little touring Hamilton? Yeah. Nice. Hamilton was in Cincinnati. That was the yoga girls' Christmas present.

Wow. I know you're a big Hamilton fan. Big Hamilton guy. I've been waiting to talk to you about this. I haven't memorized. Do you want to just do the whole play starting now? Yeah, go ahead. I can do the whole thing.

Helpless. Did you enjoy it? Helpless. It was amazing. Is that your favorite song? It's the first one that came to my head. I don't even know what that one is. Are you sure?

That's Hamilton's wife when they were falling for each other. She sings that song. Okay. Yeah, I'm more of a wait for it, Aaron Burr type. Yeah. That's what I'll listen to daily. Have that memorized. It might be a good karaoke song.

But I must ask, having attended Hamilton myself, I know that they're pretty proud of those tickets. They don't give those away. No, they don't give them away. Even the touring show several years after Hamilton's release, still, that's a pricey ticket. They're not cheap. You really treated yoga gal, huh? Well, you know, I felt like she had a good year.

She needs to, you know, she had a five-star season, so she needs to be rewarded for it in the NIL budget at the end of the year. What did you think of it? You know, it is very long. It's like three hours. It's almost three hours long. You get that intermission. Yeah. I went, it's been four or five years, but I remember about halfway through.

I wasn't even really sure what was going on. I was enjoying the music, but I wasn't good at following the actual history and the story. It took me a little bit to get settled in. Now that I've seen it 500 times on the Disney Plus version, I'm all good. But were you able to, you're a Broadway guy? Could you keep up with the storyline? A little bit. My dad's a history guy, and we kind of talked a little bit about it.

He kind of gave me some things that were getting ready to happen and come up with it. But I spent a lot of the time yesterday Googling the stories, so I really understand the story behind the story. Like they kind of implied during Hamilton that maybe he was having a lot of, an affair with his wife's sister. It's very historically accurate. The Skyler sisters. The Skyler sisters, yes, yes. Because he did have the affair with the one woman that they blackmailed him,

but that's why he never ran for president? They never kind of unsure about that. Did that kind of keep me from running for president? Yeah, I mean, this is all. This sounds exactly how it all happened in real life. And so you learn most of your Alexander Hamilton history from just this performance. From the performance and then Googling it afterwards. Did you do the thing a lot of people do where now that you've seen it,

You go home and you play the soundtrack, you know, just nonstop. I haven't yet. I know you do that. You play it in your house all the time, don't you? Yeah, it might have been on my Spotify wrapped in 2025. But I'm happy for you for jumping into the Hamilton community. You know, I felt like I needed to broaden my horizons a little bit. And I set home and watch another college basketball game or an NFL game and go see Hamilton.

And it was in Cincinnati. It was a wonderful theater up there. And it was packed. I mean, it was completely packed. I didn't even know it was coming through. You're going to get me in trouble. Abby's listening right now. I'm going to get home and she's going to say,

why didn't we go see it? Well, I think they're going to Indianapolis next, so we're still kind of close by. That might be even worse. Now there's going to be an expectation I have to go to India. I'm glad you enjoyed it. What a nice gift. It was really good. I really enjoyed it.

So if you're looking for something to do, I mean, it's been out for 10 years. It took me 10 years to see it, right? Well, it's not like it doesn't just pop up in your backyard. It's kind of either go to New York or, you know, catch one of these touring shows. So it's not a movie you can just go see down the street at your local mall. But I'm glad you were able to see it. It's very good. Are you going to be a, are you a theater guy now?

I'm going to try. This one, no dialogue whatsoever. Every word spoken was in a song or a rap. Every single word, no dialogue. I just kind of thought it would be, they would act, and then they would sing. Isn't that how most musicals are? A little bit. You know, musicals, they do a lot of singing.

It's the music part of the musical. Did you like the king? The king was one of the best characters. The king was awesome. He was really good. The two funny characters were the king and Thomas Jefferson. The guy that played Thomas Jefferson was really, really good. Probably my favorite, too.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. You got me wanting to see it now. I'm going to go home and listen to more of it. So both teams are on the court now, Woodford County and McCracken County warm enough to play their losers' bracket game. Do you want to change your pick now that we're getting visuals of both teams? You know, McCracken is just outside the top 10 of the KSR high school rankings, which will be updated later today. I'm going off last Monday's rankings.

I believe they were number 11. So they are a team to watch. Whitford, not in the rankings, to my knowledge. Yeah, I'm going to have to change my pick maybe to McCracken County. Woodford County looks like maybe they have half their squad here. Maybe they've got an illness kind of knocked out half their players. They've only got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, nine players. Is that it?

It's all we got here? Yeah, I'm sticking with my McCracken pick. I don't know if we picked that before. Also, just like McCracken County, it is the only county in the state that has two Taco Johns. And, you know, I feel like everywhere needs Taco Johns, and Paducah probably has two, which is a very cool thing to have. Joseph. We'll take our final break. Come back, our final segment.

Jacob Kingston grew up in an isolated polygamous sect. We were God's chosen kingdom on earth. He felt destined for greatness. So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapults Jacob into an extraordinary world, he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, meeting the president of Turkey. I'm Michelle McPhee, and this is one of the most shocking criminal conspiracies I've ever come When Jacob met Levan this went to a billion dollar fraud.

But with two kings from entirely different worlds, just how long can their empire survive? The largest tax investigation in American history. You need to tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my life. Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Life throws hurdles big and small.

The question is, how do you conquer them? On hurdle with Emily Abadi, we sit down with the most inspiring women in sports and wellness, professional athletes, coaches, and Olympic champions to talk about the challenges that shaped them and the mindset that keeps them going. From the WNBA standout, Kate Martin, and rising hockey star, Layla Edwards. If a boy can do it, I don't see why a girl can't. Like, I've never understood that. Like, it didn't make sense in my brain.

It's hard to be in spaces that no one looks like you, but don't ever feel. feel like you don't belong. Don't let that be the reason you don't do it. An Olympic champs Gabby Thomas and Katie Ladecki. The ability to show gold medal to someone and have their face light up and smile, that means the world to me. And that's what motivates me to win more gold medals. At our level, at this scale, like being able to fail in front of the entire world. Like, I can do anything. I can do anything. Because resilience isn't just about winning. It's about showing up, even when it's hard.

Listen to Hurtle with El. Emily Abadi on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. All right, welcome back. Our final segment here at Kentucky Sports Radio. Ryan and Drew back live, our first live show since the postgame show after the Bellarmine game on December 23rd. So it's been a long drought from we've done a live show. Everybody's off.

Matt's off, Shannon's off, Mario's off, Billy's off. What's everybody doing? Why this week? We just had Christmas off. Why we all could take off the same time leaving us back here? Well, and we had the great five-day weekend. We just had a great five-day weekend with Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Day after Christmas and Saturday, Sunday, and most people had a five-day weekend.

So we know Shannon's probably up and down Panama City Beach. I texted him, he said he's not coming back until January 2nd to Kentucky. Shannon's always in one of two places. Either in the studio in Louisville, they're Panama City Beach. So he's not working, he's on vacay down there. We don't know where Matt is. He's at a mystery location. I'm not sure where he is either.

Billy's hanging around Lexington. Margo hanging around Lexington? Probably. Both those guys are probably doing a staycation. We mentioned the earthquake that happened in Garrett County. It's our buddy from our buddy, Dylan Ballard. I live less than three miles from the fault line, and it sounded like a plane had hit my house yesterday. Oh, wow.

So maybe it was a little more violent down there than we thought. Yeah, other than just the news reports that people felt it and heard it in the surrounding area. I hadn't actually heard of a personal story like that. Of course, we trust Dylan. He said I live on a farm and thought the metal roof from my barn had flown off and it was my house. I thought the barn roof flew off and hid his house, but it was his house making that noise. So that's crazy, man. I ain't got to worry about structural damage and foundation issues and things.

Yeah, and I haven't seen them anything too significant. But hopefully everybody is all right in that area where that happened. And as we said earlier, just add another weather event to Kentucky as we, whatever the science in that is. The tornado alley or whatever has moved our way and now we're getting earthquakes too. Others, no doubt. It has definitely shifted into Kentucky, going on right, especially western Kentucky, it seems like, with what happened over there in Mayfield and Bremen and all those areas.

It got hit by the tornado. Now we're dealing with this cold weather. I can't wait to step back out here into 20 degrees after I had my window open all night. So, you know, Matt likes the Chicago Bears. Big fan. They've played two of the most exciting games all season back to back. That Packers game last weekend was just insane. I still don't know how the Bears won that game.

And then last night, I couldn't quit watching their game last night. It was back and forth to the final second. had a chance to win it at the end and couldn't get it done. I saw it was the first NFL game to go 7-7, 14-14, 21-21, 28, 28, 35-35. They just kept trading blows. It was the first one. It never happened before, yeah.

Ever? Yeah, it was just going that order like that. Just keep trading touchdowns all the way through 35. You know, the bear's lost, but if I'm a Bears fan, I'm still just over the mood excited about the playoffs. I mean, you went to San Francisco, which could still be the one seed. You played them to the very end, had a shot to tie it there, And they just have that incompletion that ended the game.

But Matt's bears are fun. They are. They're young. Ben Johnson's got that offense roll. I don't know if you watch there at the end, they ran that little hook and ladder. They did. It didn't work, but who draws that up? And that's in that situation.

Yeah, even though they took the loss in prime time last night, I've enjoyed watching the run. I'm happy for Matt. It's been so long since they've had any success. Hopefully they can string together a playoff run. I like the Rams in the NFC. I still don't sleep on the bears. They can win a couple games. Now we watched some football.

My parents were at my house over the holiday. We watched the Chiefs game. Chiefs Broncos. My dad was ready to fight somebody because they kept showing Travis Kelsey like every other play. What a sad Christmas day. The NFL was so excited. They're trying to take the NBA's day. They give three what they thought were marquee matchups on the schedule.

And then the starting quarterback for all the three. three home teams is a third stringer that no one's ever heard of. Never heard of the guy. I mean, you got the Chiefs fizzling out, not even making the playoffs, they're leaving Missouri, and then it's probably Kelsey's last home game. Yeah, I thought that's what, oh, trust me, they mentioned it a million times during the broadcast. I was tuned in also, but pretty big dud for the NFL and what should have been a special

day just with all the circumstances. I know a lot of people focused, I don't know if you saw, but Kelsey did like a double tap on the wall on the way out, almost like a goodbye. I tap to the, do you know what I'm talking about where he's long? Oh, yeah, yeah. Everybody focused in on that. It seems like the Chief's dynasty, at least as we knew it, is over. They're moving to Kansas, and Kelsey's probably going to hang him up.

And, you know, Mahomes had the serious knee injury. He's missed the last part of the season. They're not in the playoffs for the first time. And since you were a baby, it seems like. Times have changed. With Mahomes, they'll still have some life after this. They have some young talent. But it is weird seeing that dynasty as we know it end

and then not even be in the playoffs at all. Now, at the end of the game, Kelsey was walking off the field, going in the tunnel to go to the locker room, and some security guys got kind of nasty with the camera guy. And this was on live TV. You know, the live cameras are following him into the locker room, and the one guy kind of yells at him, and I know that created a lot of pushback. But rules are rules, man. And there's a certain areas of media cannot go, and that's one of the areas where they're not allowed to go.

Yeah, I've tried to pull Mario. Sometimes Mario just thinks my media pass, I can go anywhere. I'll go take a jump shot and rough if I want. had a little Mario to him. It adds to the frustrating and sad end of Kelsey and the Chiefs. It does. In hindsight, you know he wishes they just won the Super Bowl last year. He probably would have walked away with a ring and Taylor at the game.

And then getting engaged in Taylor. Now his final year is going to be not even coming close to the playoffs. You got a third stringer name like Michael Oloa Kennedy throwing it to him. Just completely different than the storybook ending he dreamed up a year ago. I'm not a hater. There's a lot of chief hater. Sounds like your dad's one of them. If they had shown Kelsey one more time, my dad was ready to jump through the screen and fight somebody.

I know several people like that. But to me, I'm not a fan. I'm not a hater either. It is a little sad to just see the chain. Not sad, but it's just weird seeing the changing the guard. We thought this would be another year of Chiefs at least having one more run in them, and they've been disappointing. So let's set the stage here for the rest of the week. We're going to be at KS Bar tomorrow Wednesday.

There is a best-of show on New Year's Day, Thursday, and then we'll be back at KS Bar on Friday. So Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday. Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday. Be and you. Best of on Thursday. Now, Wednesday is also not just Wingsday. It's also going to be quiz night, right? Tuesday is Quiz night.

That's right. Tuesday, not tomorrow night. Wednesday's New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve. They moved it to Tuesday night is quiz night. So what's going on on quiz night tomorrow night? They'll be doing lots of quizzing. Get in there 7 o'clock.

KS. Bar. I know it's holidays. People are off work. People are in town. We'll have a little fun there tomorrow night. Then Wednesday, I don't know if you have big New Year's Eve plans. But I'm going to go have a little fun on New Year's Eve. I'm glad we're not doing a Thursday show.

I might have a bit of a headache Thursday morning. I'm going to go to Rodney's New Year's Eve and then spend all day New Year's Day in my boxing shorts watching football. Watching football? That's all I want to do. But I'm excited another day with you. On Wednesday I'm working on a recap of 2025. Yes. Not just like Kentucky things, KSR things, fun stories, so send me any suggestions if you want that to be included.

We'll recap the whole year. That's all day on Wednesday's show. Maybe tomorrow. Who knows? We'll get a guest, perhaps. Who knows? We're figuring this out on the fly. We're trying to effort a couple guests, and everybody seems to be busy this time of year.

I don't understand. Well, me and your green text will figure it out tonight. We'll produce something. So I appreciate you. Appreciate Lexington Cowlick hosting us out here. We're getting ready to watch Woodford County and McCracken County and White Greer-Maggot Holiday Classic. Appreciate Brandon Salzman inviting us out to come out and do the show here today. So Drew, you and I back with Rick the Rider tomorrow.

Yeah, come see us at KS Bar. We'd love to see everybody, as I said, while you're in, off work. Might as well, come hang out with us tomorrow. Tuesday, Friday at KS. That'll do it for this edition of KSR. We'll see you tomorrow. Goodbye. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends.

And on my podcast, The Cliverts Show, I'm bringing you conversations about all kinds of stuff. Like being an internet famous referee. We're in the middle of a game.
