Welcome to Hour 2 of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

Now here's Matt Jones. Welcome back. Hour number two, Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-2802287. Tax machine, 772-7-7-4-524, 5254. The Cats won, so nice victory. Tomorrow we are in Campbellsville at Don Franklin, right? Franklin and Campbellville. Taylor County, Campbellsville. We'd love to see you. We always enjoy going there. We've been there quite a bit over the years. So if you're in Campbellsville tomorrow, call your friends on the phone, bring them out. I might even give some UK basketball tickets away

to the good people of Campbellsville tomorrow. And it's a snow day, so we might get sent really nice ones because people don't want to leave. So just not saying Campbellsville, I'm just saying. All right. Time to focus on the snow. This is what matters. So, latest models make it look like we're going to get a boatload of snow. They are saying, I think Chris Bailey tweeted just yesterday, mercy. That's all it said. Mercy.

He is asking the Lord for mercy. A little scary. It's a little scary. It's supposed to start Saturday around Kentucky's game time. Yes, it is. Literally, maybe it will start during the game. so that's something to think about. I have decided that I want this to be,

I want it to be fun, but I also want it to be enlightening. We're learning about the weather together. And weather people work hard. They roll their sleeves up a lot. They look in the camera and they just talk. And that's hard to do. I've done that. That's not easy.

And they need to be rewarded for success. But they're also, they can be a little arrogant. They can kind of get mad at you and say, we're weather pros. And then those same weather pros, they don't always get, judge so you can get people to be snippy about your phones or about the amateurs or whatever. So I decided what's a way to kind of get everybody on record? Who's the king of the weather or queen? And I decided let's do the Kentucky Weatherman Challenge.

Simple prediction. How many inches of snow at Bluegrass Airport and Louisville Airport? Two cities? You tell me. I'm using the airports because they give official predictions or official compilations, right? Absolutely. So we're not going to stick. We're not sticking rulers in our backyard.

We're using the airport. Does that make sense? Make it official. They have rulers out there. So I decided I'll give. I was going to give $1,000. I thought that was generous. Commonwealth causes called during the post-game show said we'll give $5,000.

Very generous. Made me feel less generous. I thought everybody's going to go $1,000. That's nice of you, Matt. And then they come in at $5,000. All right. So I'm going to give $2,000. from that causes.

So now we're up to $7,000 to charity in the name of the person who gets at the closest. If any of our other sponsors would like, I'd like it to be 10. So if any of other sponsors would like to throw in some money, just send me a text and let me know. I'd like it to be $10,000. I think that's an amazing reward for someone's charity, right? What charity wouldn't love to have $10,000 handing to them? So the question is, who do we ask? This is my theory.

You tell me if you all agree. Okay. There's four major Lexington stations, four major Louisville stations, two wild cards, there's our ten contenders. Do you like it? I think that's the way to go. Let's all the TV stations participate, and then we will figure out some wild cards. I like it.

One wild card has to be Ryan Hall, y'all. He might be the biggest weather person outside of the weather channel in the country, and he's in our state. Has to be. Is he a wild card? Yep. Yes. All right.

So now let's go through the stations. CBS, WKYT, and Lexington. Chris Bailey's in. in, right? Absolutely. He's Kentucky weather. Got to be in. Of course.

These people, by the way, ma'am, they're in whether they want to be or not. So he's on the notice. I haven't asked these people. They're in whether they want to be or not. And if they don't, their name's on it, and everybody's going to know they ain't going to be in. So this isn't like you get nominated whether it's your thing or not. It's kind of jury duty.

This is your, you owe it to the people. We're calling you right now. You're being summoned. You are being summoned to Snowcourt. So Chris Bailey's in. Let's go to WLAX, NBC. Two choices. Bill Meck, Bill Ackerman.

Two bills? Tom Ackerman. It's got to be Meck, though. I think it's got to be Meck. He's the face. He's a man. Ackerman may be a wonderful guy. I hear he gets up at like 2.30 in the morning to be on the TV.

Needs to be Meck. Meck is the dean of Weatherman here in Lexington. Got to have him in it. I think I'll get a yes from both those guys. I have their phone numbers. I can target them directly. I don't mean to use the word target. That sounds very hostile.

Invite them directly. Now we go to ABC. It's a revolving door over there sometimes. Yes. But now they've got a legend there. T.G. Thundershuck. Former Lofiette and Georgetown College kicker. Thunder Shuck.

You better play that when we come back. I like that song. I don't know T.G. Never met him, but I love his name. Gotta be the guy, right? I get called T.G. Shuck all the time. So I've done key. That's the same thing we look like each other.

Who? You look nothing like you? I agree, but people think I'm TG all the time. You think that happens all the time, Shannon or it's happened like once? And he wanted to throw that. Probably, and he thinks it's all the time now. It's not all the time. When's the last time it happened?

Probably a month ago. Really? I don't see it. Actually, that's just what yoga girl calls if it's her pet name. Call me T. She goes, come on, Thunder. And then. I like that.

You have to role play, I understand, Ryan. So, so T.G. Shuck gets the invite, right? Absolutely. All right. Now, I don't know who's on Fox. Who's on Fox? Is it, I think there's somebody named Logan. Who's the main Fox person?

Does anybody know? Justin Logan. Justin Logan. Mario knowing Fox ball over here. That's why you're up for influencer of the year. You know, you know all these people. Yeah. He goes their website.

He's the first picture. So Justin Logan. Mario, you're in charge of getting Justin Logan to say yes. Okay? There's the four lexswigms. All we need right now is the yes. Their predictions will be due tomorrow. We'll talk about that.

Now let's go to Louisville. Selection show. This is right. We have just seated our first four. Do you think they're all sitting in chairs watching this on TV? I think some of them don't want the invite, especially in Louisville. Well, guess what? You're getting it.

Let's start in Louisville. What station is? bad boy Mark Weinberg. WDRB. WDRB. He's in. That's the Fox affiliate. Listen, you're the weather heel and also the weather

officiato. He hates computers. He hates the apps. He's old school. Gotta have him. He's a trash talker. Yeah. Got to have him.

Now, for a man who talks that much trash, time to back it up. You got to participate, Weinberg. Yep. Don't make, don't make us, don't make us come over there. I have a feeling he's going to be the whole. Holdout. He's going to be the holdout. I have a feeling he could be the holdout too, but I'm going to say this, Mark.

We all, I think the Lord says, let's reach to our better angels. Is that what he says? I think it's in Luke. I've not heard that one. Somebody says that. Mark Weinberg has to be in, right? As much trash as he talks, he's got to be in it. Now, people are just going to not pay, give him a minimum of respect if he doesn't participate.

Now, I mentioned Bryce Jones. He's a listener to the show. The problem is he's on WDRB. can only give one a station. So I'm sorry, Bryce. I might have to go to Weinberg. Bryce is up for a wild card. We can talk about that.

Okay. All right. What if Weinberg just absolutely refuses? Does he go in as an opt-out or does Bryce get his spot? Weinberg has to participate. Has to. There's no... Yeah, because that's the weakest thing.

I'm not going to do it, but let my underlings suffer. Well, I mean, how you get a big moment for Bryce. Can you even tweet him? Didn't you tweet an ice map or something? Didn't he block you because of that? There will be somebody that can tweet him. Terry Miner's got his number. We can get his number.

All right. So what about the other station? Jay Cardosi is one of them. Yeah, hold on. Your CBS affiliate, WLKY, J Cardozoz. Jay Cardozy. He's what's Jay say? Yes.

With the graphics, the blues clues cards. You got to have him. He's got a rhyme. What's Jay say? So we all agree, Jay Cardozy. Yes. All right. Now, that leaves Wave and WHAS.

Who's on Wave? Okay, Wave, your chief meteorology. just as Kevin Harned. I know Kevin Harded. I know he's been on forever, right? He's kind of funny. I think he lives in Bards. He's a Bardstown guy.

He's Bardstown. He's got like this little, I like, I like his hair. What hair? Does he not have hair? Barely. Oh, well, that's what I think I like about it.

He's like Ryan. He's like, he kind of reminds, T.G. Shuck does not look like you. Kevin Harned looks like you. He does. He kind of does. I think you're,

I think you want people to think you At least from the forehead up, he looks like Ryan. Yes. So Kevin Hornet, I think, isn't in, right? Yes, yes. All right. So now that leaves one more. Who's WHAs?

I don't really know. I looked up. It's Mallory Schnell. She is the chief meteorologist there. I don't know her. See, I don't know Mallory Schnell, but we need a woman, right? This is not weather men. We are weather people.

Yes. I'm with you on that. Mallory Schnell. Yes. Shannon, your job is to find me, Mallory. Schnell and Kevin Hartner. I'll track them down. Mallory Shell and Kevin

Arnardin are you. Cardozy has responded my tweet so I feel like I can get him. Weinberg, there might have to be a protest organized around WDRB. I got a buddy that works with him. See? So I can maybe talk to him.

Gilbert, Coorset. So you're in charge of Arnaud and Mallory Schnell, okay? And you just need commitments that they'll do it. We don't need their prediction until tomorrow. Got it. Okay, that'll give them a chance to see the morning maps. Two wild cards.

Ryan Hall, y'all, already committed. Biggest one of all of them. This is a man who doesn't forget his roots. That's right. Okay? This is C.M. Punk and Cody Rhodes being in WWE, but still shouting out OVW. That's right. That's what they do.

And he's like the new style. And he's, Ryan Hall said I'm in. A lot to lose for Ryan Hall. True. Still doing it. I'm impressed by that. I think the fact that he was the first one to respond to you also says a lot about. Me too.

His confidence and his prediction. Last one. We have one more wild card. I want you two to nominate, and then I'm going to nominate, and we will pick our final wildcard. Do you have someone to nominate? I mean, I barely know the people you just mentioned. So if I have to name another meteorologist, I'm going to need a minute. Okay.

What about you? Do you have one? I think we should go, like, old school, and get Frank Faulkner. I don't know what that person is. Oh, he's like legendary weather guy in this town. He's like 90 years old. What about Reed Yaden? Right.

Captain Reed Yade, one of those two guys. I don't know either. those people. Okay. So there's like retired people? Yeah. Can I give you my nomination? Yeah. In honor of Larry Bondell, my dad, bring Jim Caldwell

out of retirement. Oh. Is that Jim Caldwell's music? That's Jim Caldwell's music. Oh, wow. He just got off the set of the mummy like the rock and he's coming back for WrestleMania. I see him just running down the ramp. Jim Caldwell runs in with a chair and pops heart on the back of the head.

Does he slide in? Does he jump over the rope? What's the Jim Caldwell move? He's sliding in. Oh, full speed. Jim Caldwell from WYMT and WKYT comes out of retirement to give one final pick for all the little Caldies out there. The crowd's going wild. The crowd is going nuts. He doesn't even have the latest equipment.

He's still using a watch to do barometric pressure. The farmer's almanac. Larry is jumping up and down right now. And Larry is at home cheering. Yes. Come on, Caldwell. how about that is our 10th one I think and Jim still kind of does some

like Ryan Hall y'all does some YouTube stuff about whether he dabbles even better he still dabbles he still wrestles on the independent circuit yeah you gotta keep that arm loose in case you ever get called up there you go so he's also the one that had me blocked on Twitter but to his credit unblocked me we met here at KS Bar we got our blockings

out of the way so Ryan y'all hall y'all represents the new school Caldwell old school like it I do those are our 10th that's a good 10. You're getting the 10 nominations. Now, to those 10 of you that are here, here's what you have to do. Today, someone will be in contact. I don't know who it is, but it will be someone. Just say yes. Mario's going to keep a checkmark and X sheet for Twitter that says who's committed and who hasn't.

We have one checkmark, Ryan Hall, y'all. All right? I will add the others as they come. By the end of tonight, you have to be in. Then by tomorrow at noon, your prediction has to be in. How many inches of snow in Lexington and how many in Louisville from start of Saturday to midnight on Sunday, that 48-hour period? Now, apparently we're close to the line. Could get snow. Could get ice. Makes it more tricky.

The talent rises further. The cream rises to the top. I think it was the macho man that says, ooh, the cream rises to the crop. That's what we're going to find out right here. I love it. I love it. The fact that the Commonwealth calls has stepped up

and you stepped up to give some money some charity. I think that's make this a fun event, and somebody's going to crowned king of the meteorologist when this is all over. And if you weren't done to it, they hate charities. If you have one of our text messages and are listening, and let's be honest, all you radio people are listening right now. Let us know before the show so I can put you down as a yes before the end of the show so you get some credit.

Right now we only have one yes, Ryan Hall, y'all. But some of these people we don't know, so we'll see. So I've got a little more question. Yes. Maybe they set the question I'm going to ask you. When will the measurement be official, like after the snow stops on Sunday? Midnight at Sunday. Okay.

You have 48-hour period, midnight at Sunday. And it's snow. So if it's snow and ice, we're not counting the ice, just the snow. And it's going to be whatever these two airports say, because I'm not trusting y'all's measure. That's true. Airport's the official measurement. Whatever. And I don't know.

Who do I call? at the airport. They'll put it out. Is there someone for me to call? Chris Bailey will put it out. No, I'm not trusted Chris Bailey because he'll change it to make it what he wants. We're going to get eight different airport measurements. I need non-air, I need someone at the airport has to work with me on this.

They have the biggest job. They have to take the ruler into the snow and make this official. That's right. All right. 859-28027. Let's hope the yeses start coming in. Mario's making his graphic. We'll take a break.

I'll be right back. This is. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind.

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 across. When Jacob met Levin this plant to a billion dollar fraud. But with two kings from Indembourg, 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.

It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHard Radio app,

TGZ text me back already. Who? TG is. Is he a yes? I'm getting the numbers, you know, the dots like he's typing. Okay, so he hasn't typed you back yet. All right, we'll let you know. Stop overpaying for sunglasses.

If you're tired of buying expensive sunglasses, only to lose or break them or worse, you never even wear them because you don't want to get them dirty. you need Shady Rays. Premium polarized shades for every activity, running, fishing, biking, golfing, you name it. Shadyrays, Shadyrays.com, take your new adventure on a team that takes you back with Shady Rays. I have an offer of $1,000 more dollars to the pot. Nice. If Mark Weinberg joins the competition.

Put more pressure on him. Wow. More pressure. So he has the power to give a chance. charity a thousand dollars it'll be in the pot if he just says yes see there because there are people who are telling me people around Weinberg that they don't think he'll do it that he that he did not like the idea of this and doesn't think it's a good idea you know he's still mad at us because of that video or he was farting and we we made it go viral he farted on the air shannon what am i

supposed to do mad at us for retwig him talking about it I'm really not supposed to notice that did you I forgot that was him. But he has a chance to win everyone over. Yeah. If he does this, he can fart in all the other people's faces. He'll be showing, he'll be showing what, first of all, what a great weather broadcaster is, but also what a good guy is he's lighthearted, he's fun. Right?

You get break wind. Yes. In front of all the other meteorologists. That's exactly right. He can pass the gas all the way to the title. It probably isn't helping getting him on board, but I like it. What did TG Shuck say? Still typing.

I got a response from Bill Mac. What do he say? I just got to text. What's needed and when? Just say a prediction by noon tomorrow. And when he says yes, he'll be our second check mark. And then you're going to text Chris Bailey too, right? It's like the Royal Rumble.

I'm waiting to hear his music comes on. One person says Chris Bailey hates the airport data because he says they always get it wrong. Well, then he needs to predict how they're going to get it wrong. Because that's what I have to use. I don't know what else I'm supposed to use. That's the best official measurement. And also the airport, I think they use it because the land is completely flat because it has to be flat because you have to land a plane. I think Chris takes on too many ruler photos for him to be caught out the airport.

He gets too much data from everyone out measuring their yard and retweeting it. Yeah, we have to use some data so we're using the airport. This is going to be great. Now all of these people have to participate. What's the woman's name again? I want to make sure. Mallory Schnell. I'm about to hit her with a tweet right now.

Get Mallory Schnell. You know, Terry and Tony, They have these people's numbers, too, by the way. Yeah, Jay Cardozy does weather for Terry. Huh? That's right. They're the official affiliate. That's right.

Jay Cardozy had a great... Did you all see the video I put out of Jay Cardozy last night on Twitter? No, I didn't see that one. First of all, you know the snow's not here yet. Sleas were still down. Okay? So that's how you knew. I knew we weren't getting...

Right. We had some time. Nothing to worry about. Hand movement, though, a plenty. Pick it up pace? A lot of hand movement. which made me think, oh, this is for real. Yeah.

I like it when it does get bad to roll the sleeves up. There's always the other two weather guys are back in the weather office. What's the latest on Casey County over there, Tom? I find less help once it's snowing. Oh, and I want to address one thing, because a person who's a listener of the show that lives in another city is a weather person and wrote,

here's the thing, Matt. Predictions are not really fair to weather people because we're not predictors, we are meteorologists. And I didn't want to argue with them because they're my friend. But what's the point of a weather person if they're not a predictor? I can open up the window and see what's happening, right? Your whole existence is to tell us what's going to happen. Am I wrong?

Isn't that a forecast? And also, six to 12 inches is way too many inches. Yeah. Please don't take that as a drop. It's like that's too big of a gap. We need much narrow. That's why we need a number. And by the way, if you want to use 0.5, you can.

So you can say 9.5, 8.5, etc. Just to make sure I'm not crazy, I went to the dictionary.com. And the word forecast means to predict. Predict. Official definition. So I mean, the whole point of a weather forecast is to predict. So this, in my opinion, Ryan, goes exactly in the duty that they do. You know my feeling about this.

You can't predict Mother Nature, but you can tell you exactly what it's doing at that exact moment. You can't tell me what it's going to do five hours from now. You just can't. Okay, so, Shannon, you just tweeted Mallory Schnell. Yep. I'm going to follow her since I didn't know who that was. And now she's going to get one of the people.

All right, so we'll keep you up to date of who you still have no yeses? Bill says I'll put a reminder in. I assume that's a yes. That's a yes. Bill McShan. Now we have two. We're calling it. That's a yes.

Early report. in from Indiana, Bill Meck is in. Should we all add guesses on the side to see if any of us are better than the meteorology? No, see, I don't want to do that. I don't want to disrespect their profession. Oh, that's true. It's true. Yeah, they're doing this.

Jim Caldwell is in. Nice. Three. See, once the ball starts rolling, the two wild cards are in. The two wild cards are in because they appreciate the opportunity. Now we have to get the people that are in the draft who are being brought in to accept. Who's up next? Ryan.

What? Got an M note from TG Shuck. Yes. Hey, buddy, I heard about everything last night, and I tuned in at 11 a.m. So I just like I hear you guys cut up about the whole thing. You may not want to read that. I don't read that. Why, I'm just reading what he's saying.

Did you tell him? Did you tell him? He seems personal. No, doesn't seem personal. He tuned in today at 11 o'clock. Okay, blah, blah, blah, blah. You prefer to wait until tomorrow morning. Tell him you can wait until tomorrow morning.

Maybe we can have our picks in by at 11 a.m. Tomorrow. Perfect. So that's a yes. Don't read the red. That's a personal note to you, Ryan. I didn't read that part. I read the part about him tuning at 11 o'clock.

Slow down. Is that four? TG. Shucks four. Wow. Six more and we get it. Come on, Drew. Clap with him.

Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry. Here we go. I was watching the door for someone else to run. Chris Bailey will do it. So now it's all the Louisville people. We got to get the Louisville people. All right.

Who's up first? We need to go to break here. We got 20 seconds. Oh. Yeah. You got some caught up in what you were doing. I did get really excited. It's exciting.

All right. Louisville people, it's now time to hear from you. We will take a break, talking about calls and a conspiracy theory that Drew and I came up with or heard about that may be true. We'll be right back. T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney. Call T.J., he'll make them pay. Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

Mario is calling Jay Cardozy and Kevin Hardin right now. I would love to hear that conversation. I would love to hear Mario try to explain what we're doing to them. and then I just Mario's so nice I would really love to have that coverage that's one of these times Shannon I wish we could just broadcast conversations live on here

I used to do that and then they got mad at me someone filed an FCC complaint on us and we had to stop doing it that used to be great radio like when we called the SPN that one time Shannon and that woman said this is not appropriate hung up that was over the Bobby Knight stuff it was Bobby Knight

it was over Bobby Knight good memory that's right we're here at KS Bar you can come have lunch join us today or dinner this evening. We are opening at 9 a.m. for breakfast on Saturday. So we're going to do the pregame show here, but we're going to also open for breakfast at 9 a.m.

So get up early. Come join us. And if it's snowy, you know what? It'll be snowy together for us all. Kind of looking forward to the snow game on Saturday. You know, people get there safely, but I'm interested to see what kind of crowd it is. I'm assuming to be thin and some unique circumstances for Saturday.

Chris Bailey is in. That's five. Nice. Half. Half. So now we have the. The four Louisville people. Lexington.

Four Louisville people and Justin Logan in Lexington. We're working on Justin Logan right now. Okay. The Louisville people are not going to collectively boycott this off. This is a chance for Mallory Schnell to really make a name. Good point. Just jump in right now. If I'm Mallory Schnell.

We get weather man. It needs to be weather person. If Mallory Schnell gets in, I'll call it the Weather Wonderful Humans contest. Weather Woman prediction. That's right. Who's up next? All right. Let's go to Todd.

Todd, go ahead, Todd. Hey, what are we doing? Matt, you're the show. Yes, go ahead, Todd. Can you hear me? Yes. Yeah, I think the last four games, and me and you talked last year and just about a week ago, he has quit.

The lineup has stayed about the same last night in the first half, and I think that's the key to why we're winning more. I don't know if folks listen to the show, but Aberdeen, I don't know. if we can put all the eggs in one basket because when he's on a break and there's two guys ahead of them, he won't lob it for a dunk. He wants to be a one-man show sometimes. And I don't know. He could still be a loose cannon for us.

And I got one thing, man, I don't know if you got to hear Paul Feinbaum yesterday. But they had a guest, guys, sports guy, at the beginning. And he was talking about Kentucky not being a national champion, but could be like the Indiana in the SEC. And he was bragging on Will Stein and what he has done so far. I mean, look, I appreciate the call. The idea of, okay, well, who is Kentucky going to be like? I understand why people say Indiana is a possibility. I mean, we have a similar history, a similar profile basketball school.

I mean, that's why people are going to say us, Drew, and might as well take the mantle and try to make it happen. Yeah, it's added a lot of excitement for me. It's one thing to talk to my friends and you all and other Kentucky fans get excited. But when I'm watching national shows and it's Kentucky, Kentucky, Kentucky, Look at this. Look out for this team. That just gets even more excited to hear these outside opinions that normally we're not even in the conversation this time of year. Kevin Harnett is in. Nice.

Oh, here we go. Louisville's moving. Louisville's moving. Six left. Four left. Jay Cardozy, Mark Weinberg, Mallory Schnell, and Justin Logan. I'm just going to predict. I think we're going to get Mallory Schnell.

I think we're going to get Justin Logan. I think we're going to get Jay Cardozy. I think it's all going to come down to the Weinberg. But he's the one who's been doing all the mountain. He's the one that needs to back it up and get in the contest. If you're going to be Dennis Rodman, you have to show up and win the 98 finals. You can't be Dennis Rodman and then not play when your team's asking. Yeah, he's doing the John Morant.

He's on Twitter just firing his Uzi. But now the game is being played. Where are you? Get on the court. He's going to be our shade and sharp, basically. He's going to warm up but never play. Warm up and never play. Just out of curiosity, who would be our wild card?

If for whatever reason one of them quits and doesn't do it, is there someone from somewhere, maybe a W. YM.T. I like YMT. Or a bowling greener or a northern Kentuckyer? Apparently it can't be Frank Faulkner. He passed away. Rest in peace. Rest in peace, Frank.

That was who you suggest. Yeah, because he's like in any 90s. Was. I like Captain Reed Yaden. I like Channing's suggestion in the old. I don't know who that is. He's a longtime weather guy in Louisville. He wore a little captain's hat when he would do the river weather sometimes.

Oh, bonus points for captain's time. I mean, you're talking about. You know, like Skipper on Gilligan's Island, that kind of hat? Yeah. Okay. Is he alive? Yeah, I think so. I mean, that might be a special champions entry.

Senior division. You left that detail out early. Okay, can you, all right, here's what I'll say, Ryan. What's his name, Captain what? Reed Yaden. I'll let you contact Captain Reed Yaden. Okay. agrees to wear his hat while he's making his prediction he can be into he's on uh twitter

and posted six hours ago so he's active okay contact captain reid yate got you but he has to wear his hat okay all right who's next Ryan Ryan go ahead Ryan um in regards to this dink kid and he's coming in from the pros i haven't really heard anybody talk about this but you know they're getting paid like pros now and they all want to be professionals long term and pro teams bringing players all the time mid-season through trades. That's great point. Positions or 10-day contracts. And so, you know, they kind of need to get used to that if they're going to be pros

rest their life. I think that's a great point. Why does it, you mention you don't like the mid-year thing, Ryan. They do it in the pros. Sure. No, I personally, I don't have. I was talking about Ryan. Limit, yeah, yeah, I appreciate the call.

They do it in the pros. Yeah, it's like free agency. You heard a player. You got assigned somebody else to bring in, happens in all the sports. Bill Rivers in with four games to go. Yep. For this basketball team in the UK, it seems like we had a little chemistry issues going on. I think we finally got that figured out.

I'd hate for another monkey wrench to be thrown into the locker room and maybe got to start all over again. I mean, that's just something I personally worry about. Probably not a big deal, but it's something I worry about. Well, Kentucky being so thin, it's a little different in some places just adding guys to get better. I mean, they truly need a wing. I think even the locker room, you know, I'm not in there, but even they might welcome some help because they have to know how thin they are at that spot. And if they want to reach any serious goals, they know how depleted their roster is right now.

Let's say Pope takes the conservative approach, says no kid from the G-League, not burning Braden Hawthorne's redshirt. Can Trent Noah do it? I think Trent, Jasper, Colin, all three of those guys got to expand their role. Let's assume that, let's just assume Colin and Jasper can. Okay. We have not seen Trent Noah. Can Trent Noah? I think there are some.

games he can. Some of these games will play like athletic teams like Alabama and they get up down the floor. It may not be his type of game but then like game like against Mississippi State or even last night, we could maybe get in and get some valuable minutes to kind of help you play a little bit. Yeah, I mean he could help win some games.

This is Kentucky. We're not just trying to limp to the finish line and hope to win a game in Nashville. I don't know that he's going to really get you to be where we could all say this is a successful year in the end. What if he started shooting like we know he's capable? Okay, so let's assume he hurts you a little bit on the defensive end,

but let's assume he would start shooting the way that everyone thought he would when he came here and that he allegedly does in practice. If he gave you that, then do you think he could be a benefit? Yeah, because they still need to spread the offense a little bit. I know they've had a hot hand in the last two or three games. I hope that sustainable the rest of the year, but we've seen how inconsistent they've been. And if he could bring in another steady three-point shooter, that would help. and then you could just maybe rotate him and Diabate for defense offense.

I still just worry that they don't have enough period to do anything successful. It would help tremendously. You know, last night, Cam Williams hit that one five feet behind the three-point line. Well, now you've got to honor that. You've got to spread the defense out even more. So if Trent can come in and just hit a shot or two, that's going to widen everything else. Keep the lane open for Otega to drive.

Yeah, 859-280-2287. We are down to four responses needed. hopefully we'll get them before the end of the show or the public pressure will continue this evening. Weinberg, you're on the clock. How do we get Mallory Schnell's number? I don't know.

I can contact Kent Spencer. Ken Spencer will not. Here you go. Look, you're doing well. Don Franklin also does well. We'll be there tomorrow. What? Justin Logan's in.

Look at tomorrow. Doing work. Nice. Down to Cardo. Josie Schnell and Weinberg. John Franklin will be in Campbellsville tomorrow. Come on out. Best selection of cars, best prices,

and the best family of dealerships. Over 6,000 vehicles around the state. There's a dealership near you. We will be there tomorrow in Campbellsville at 10 a.m. I'm going to be giving away Kentucky Old Miss tickets. Come on out and see us tomorrow in Taylor County. It is Don Franklin and Don Franklin Auto.com. We'll take a break.

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 across. When Jacob met Levant, 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 podcasts. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast, Superhuman, documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.

Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back, Techies Sports Radio. 859-28027 here at KS. Bar and Grill. If you come by, we had our new winner, Some folks have been trying the stuff here. Get lunch or dinner tonight.

And then this weekend, stay warm, but you can get even door-dashed the food here. Or you can come see us for the game. I was excited to see we have chili on our winter menu. Brought the chili back. I love our chili. It's so good. We have not had a game postponed from snow since 1978 when the Kentucky-Tennessee game was postponed for one month because of snow. I don't think this one will be postponed either,

especially since the snow is supposed to start during the game. But it was interesting, not had one since then. People keep asking, the chances will get canceled. I keep saying if they have 10 people in a basketball and one TV camera, ESPN will find a way to have that game on a noon. Even if no fans showed up, do you think, though, that it'll hurt the crowd Saturday? I think it will.

I think it'll scare the crowd off a little bit. When, you know, 1993 before I got here, Kentucky Lexington hosted the SEC tournament and had that massive snowstorm. I remember, yeah. People went to the game, but then they couldn't get home. So that may be a situation where it consists to start snowing during the game. But sometimes that's fun. Well, I mean, they didn't have to stay in the arena. They just got a hotel.

I think the story goes, some journalists had to stay in the arena because they couldn't get home and couldn't get out of there. Who? I was before my time. There's like these legendary stories, these fans walked out and went to their hotel room, and then they couldn't leave Lexington. They were stuck in Lexington for days. Are they still here? Maybe.

Isn't that the same? The famous game where Todd Spoboda outscored Allen Houston? So there were, yes, Todd Sabota scored four, Allen Houston scored three. Then they played LSU in the next round. They played Geert Hamick and LSU, and Andre Riddick had like nine blocks or something in the game. And then they won the tournament. I remember that tournament very, very well. Were you here?

I remember it because it was the first one I missed because my grandfather had just gotten very ill at the time. Well, that's the fact that over a foot of snow that day and they still had the basketball game. They'll do the same thing Saturday. I think that's right. Who's up next? Lonnie.

Lonnie. Go ahead, Lonnie. Hey, guys. Thank you so much for taking my call. First of all, I'm a big Kentucky fan down here in Tennessee. I live down here about 30 years now. I went to the U.K. and moved down this area. So any time that Tennessee pulls one of these games out,

or whenever Kentucky pulls one of these games out against Tennessee, it makes my life a whole lot more livable. But I have a bumper sticker, and yes, we still have bumper stickers down here in Tennessee. And it says I have two favorite teams, Kentucky and whoever's, play in Tennessee. Well, then you have to be very happy about the victory the other day. Absolutely. Six of the last seven.

So my life has been good during basketball season, but not so good during football. Well, that's exactly right. What I wanted to say is I think we can all agree that this team with four straight wins and a good possibility of a fifth one coming up is in the process of redeeming themselves. So I'd like to throw out the name for the team to be the redeemed team. Well, let's wait and see. I mean, I think they're in a lot better shape today. I appreciate the call, but let's wait and see how things go during the year.

Because there's still rough days ahead. I mean, just to give an example, you play Ole Miss Saturday. But then you're back-to-back. Your next two games are at Vandy and at Arkansas. You could see how things could get off track there, don't you, Drew? Oh, absolutely. And I've said this even before the current win streak. There's got a game on the schedule.

When I wake up in that morning, I go, we're winning today. even Ole Miss. Now, we should beat Ole Miss and we're looking better and turning a quarter, but I still don't think we're in a place where we just say that game right there is a win.

Mario's got some other news. Jay Cardozy is in. Yeah. Now we're just Mallory Schnell and Mark Weinberg and Mallory Schnell, remember we don't know how to get in contact with her yet.

I feel like she'll be a yes. So is this all going to come down to the Weinberg? Just as we expected. It was minus 5,000 for Weinberg to be the final answer. Do you want Reed Hayden? I got his phone number.

You call him after the show. Okay. All right. What if Weinberg is the only one who says no? See, I know you folks in Lexington don't know Mark Weinberg. Let me try to explain to people that don't know Mark Weinberg, his whole thing. Mark Weinberg is, Shannon, how would you describe it? He's trash talking.

Yeah, but he's very smarmy. He's like, don't listen to all these other people. Don't listen to the other models. I have the answer right here. This is what's going to happen. He always says everyone else is bad at their job. He does. He thinks Chris Bailey should not even be allowed near a Doppler.

He thinks they're his clouds. He does. He literally will say, don't listen to the computer. Wait a minute, that's what I said. But he will literally be like Apple apps, all that stuff mislead you. Yeah, he has the Matt Jones of weather, basically, is what he is. I would do this. Don't act.

I would say yes. If this was a sports prognatonicator thing, you know I would do it. He's very much a weather is a science and you are looking at Mr. Science here. So I feel like if you're going to talk that kind of trash, you have to back it up. You have to. He has to step up and be a part of this. If everybody else we've invited has joined, he has to be a part of it. I mean, if he's the only one that doesn't do it, he will officially, at that,

point, Shannon, for me, you won't watch his forecast anymore, ever. Yeah, but I don't watch any of them now anyway. But I will be very disappointed. This is for charity. And there's someone who's donating $1,000 if he doesn't, specifically him. A no takes $1,000 away from a charity. He is looking at a charity and like holding the $1,000 bill and pulling it away from.

Enough. You have enough. No more for you. I would think like even the brass. WDRB kind of put the pressure on. Look, you have to do this. I'm putting a text into my buddy Gilbert, who's an anchor man there. Well, and there are, we know that Brian Jones, Bryce. Bryce Jones is a listener of the show.

He's sitting in that room with him looking at him thinking, I would do this. So I know Bryce is going, Mark. Come on, man. If not you, me. It's Mark with the sea. And there's another one like Jude Redfield. He's also DRB? I think he's W. What a loaded weather room.

They're the only ones I know. So, but you have to do it. Who's next? I get while he pipped here. Let's get Rick. Rick, go ahead, Rick. Thanks for taking a call, Matt. I was watching today show this morning.

Al Roker is predicting 10 inches for Lexington for Saturday. All right, Al's in. I didn't know Al Roker was still on television. We got 11. Wow. Good for El Roker. And also, yesterday, y'all was talking about the biggest fan stuff. My niece named her baby Langston Rupp, four months ago.

Really? Somebody named a baby after Adolf Rupp? All these years later. Yep. Langston's Ruck. Well, Lankston Rupp is better than Lankston Adolf. So I like it. But she's not after the Ruff aren't really, but it's after Ruff.

Yes. I understand. But we've been Kentucky fans all over life, man. Well, I think that's a good one. Take McCom. Appreciate it. You know, there are a lot of Kyle's and a lot of Macy's. I don't think there's ever been a lot of

Adolfs. That's a name that I think was retired, having nothing to do with R. Adolf. I think there just came a time people said that one. I didn't come up on my app when I'm swiping. I think that it didn't make the data. You know, it's interesting. I was just thinking about this. Do people name their kids after presidents?

Like, are there Baroques or Donald's? Well, there's definitely Donald's. Are there? Have you heard of a child being named Donald? I mean, even if you're a big Trump fan, do you want to name your kid Donald? I was just thinking of people named Donald. Yeah, but I don't know if there's any been named after. And as much as there were people on my side, I don't remember hearing people name their kid Barack.

While you're thinking about that, cornbread hemp.com, if you're going to cornbread hemp, you can get full spectrum flower-only gummies that will help you sleep and relax. The sleep gummies are great. You can get them at the store in Louisville or all over the state. It's cornbread hemp. Have peace of mind. Live the good life with cornbread. hemp and our good friends at cornbread hemp.com.

Tomorrow we're in Campbellsville, where we will wrap this contest up. And remember, Travis Perry returns to Rupp on Saturday as well. Homecoming for Travis Perry. I hope he scores zero points. You think he gets applause? I think he does get a little light applause. Half this restaurant right here is Western Kentucky. They'll clap for him.

Would you all clap? I think people, I think that's right. I don't think people will. They'll be like, you think he gets a better reaction than the Arkansas guys do. No, definitely. Definitely. I think you will too. Thank you folks very much for listening.

We'll see you tomorrow. Mark Weinberg. Don't let us down. Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends.
