It is happy.

It's the time of year where a big bowl of chili sounds so good. We've got the best chili here. There's been a motion to name chili Gillespie, chili Colleastern and moving. What do you think? I mean, I named chili Gillespie, so that's got to come through me. The chili Gillespie was the one that had on top of the cornbread. This one doesn't have cornbread. So that can be chili collie Stein?

Yeah. Certainly. Part of it called it, it made you run. like Cutler, the head of little runs play there. I don't think we want to... It's chilly. Everybody knows how chili works. We all had chili.

I don't think that was the way we were promoting it, though. 859-2 a.0.2287. What person says, Matt, with your ratings, you need to give credit where credit is due, and that is with the fans, including the fans of Louisville, Arkansas, Tennessee, among others. More haters we get, the more listeners you get. Oh, I would say a good 15 to 20% of the audience of this show.

hate listens. I think we have a lot of Louisville listeners. I mean, that's been confirmed. I think we have Arkansas, Tennessee listeners. We also have, like, just people who stick to sports, and they just get wanted, they don't want me to talk about politics, but then they kind of do so they can get mad about it. Like, I think they're, I think, no, haters are part of it.

That's the old Howard Stern line, you know. They, if they like you, they listen, but if they hate you, they listen twice as much. So I do think that's part of it. They want us to stick to sports, yet we just got a 40 in a ratings demographic. I think we figured it out. All right. Let's do a couple things before I go back to phones.

It was announced yesterday that there will be a new hallmark movie coming up out in April about the Kentucky Derby. Okay. It's going to be about two people who fall in love based around the Kentucky Derby Derby. It's called Kentucky Derby Love. It's called Derby Love. Derby Love. It was filmed apparently around Oldham County, Bullock. County and Jefferson County. Shannon, are you in? Are you in Derby Love? No, no, this is one I'm not in. I think it's called

Kentucky Roses. Same thing. I'm calling it Derby Love. Dirty Love is not the same. Derby Love. I think Derby Love. I think. That's a different kind of movie, I think. What? Derby Love. What's wrong? What's wrong with Derby Love? That might be an R-rated movie, not a Hallmark movie. I don't know what that means. Let's not make it weird. Yeah, exactly. He can make a Hallmark movie weird. All right, so they filmed. So I don't know if I told you this. I have a friend in Louisville who, like, she has created an acting career,

basically by only being in Hallmark movies that are filmed in Kentucky. There are like 10 Hallmark movies a year filmed in Kentucky, most of them in Oldham County, and she's in all of them. Midway had one a couple years ago. She's literally in all of them. She'll be like, I play the role of nurse or something in this one. She's in every one of them. and I think she was in Derby Love that's coming out.

Or Kentucky Roses. I have never seen a movie on Hallmark before, but I'm contemplating Derby Love because it's all Kentucky not only shot here, set here, apparently it will be full of Kentucky references. So what's the attraction to shooting all these movies in Kentucky in Oldham County? I think it's the tax break they get. There's a little bit of a tax break.

It's also cheaper. So from what I understand, there is a production, crew that's based here that knows how Hallmark likes to shoot their movies and they're all people who live here. Apparently Oldham County people rent out their houses so a lot of the shoots are in people's houses in Oldham County. And then there is there are tax breaks but other states have that too, but it's just Hallmark has found a home. So when you watch a Hallmark movie, apparently like half of all the movies that are on the Hallmark channel are shot here. I didn't realize that. Most of them in and around Louisville. I've heard.

You know, time every now and then one show up. I didn't know there were that many. There's a lot. And now we have Derby Love. So are you going to watch Derby Love? I might watch Kentucky Roses. I'm going to watch both of them. I can't wait.

I'm going to assume that, you know, she moves back and falls in love with a horse trainer in Louisville. Well, I think the premise was the son of the CEO of the Derby is having financial problems. And in the midst of his crisis, he meets a woman, and they fall in love like around the horses. We're supposed to believe the derby has financial problems. I paid $26 for a drink last year, and they have financial problems. I will happily watch the show. I'm excited about it.

I just watched the Bill's Hallmark movie where they've... Ray Davis is in that. At the bar where we did the radio show. Yeah. So you're excited about it? Oh, I'll put it on the list, you know. I've never once watched anything on the Hallmark channel. Don't know what it is.

Really don't know anything about... I think they all have the same premise. Shannon, have you ever watched a Hallmark? movie. Oh yeah. And DJ from Full House is in like almost all of them. I think that's what she does now. DJ from Full House? What's her name? Candace Cameron? Yeah, she's in like so many Hallmark movies. I think she only does Hallmark movies now. Interesting. Okay. I didn't I did not know that. There was a bunch of Sopranos holdovers in the one I watched with Ray Davis. Sopranos people? Like anyone that was a B-less like all the mafia people? Yeah. A lot of them in there. Oh, interesting. Well, ours. All right.

somewhere. Also Saturday here in Lexington, they are having, for the first time, the hot dog hop. Do you know what the hot dog hop is? I've not heard of this. I think this is mostly for college kids, but Ryan, I think they would let you do it. All right. For five hours, 11 different places in restaurants, 11 different places in Lexington are serving special hot dogs. And you can sign up for the hot dog hop and they give you a hot dog costume. and you walk around all the restaurants drinking and eating hot dogs. The goal is to eat 11 hot dogs over the course of the day. Or what is it, glizzies?

This is built for Ryan. You had me at hot dog costumes. Yes. Now, like I said, I think it's mostly college kids, so I'd be careful you just showing up and maybe try to have some other people, your friends there. But do you like the idea of the hot dog hop? I love it. Apparently it goes all over the country.

This is the first time it's been in Lexington. I've never heard of it. But, you know, put a hot dog costume on and I'm in. We could have walked around and eat hot dogs all day. Feels like it's going to be really cold, though, for this. What a great time to do you. Maybe it's an insulated costume. Okay, it's like a coat.

Yeah. Some of my favorite memories from college were on snow days. Just bounce around town and we shouldn't be out. They're going to have a great time at the hot dog hop, and I would go if I could. Yeah. All right. So that's the, and then the third piece of news, the judge in Alabama that was the donor of Alabama but was ruling on Badaico. case, he recused himself. After I said, I didn't think there was any way he would. He threw

it in my face. He recused himself saying he wasn't sure if he could be impartial, and now the NCAA will get a different judge. But it has to be a judge in Tuscaloosa, so he's probably a donor, too. But nevertheless, what do you think of that? That's the right move. I didn't know if he was going to be able to do this. But obviously, you think somebody was talking to him when he's here, like, hey, man, you're going to lose all credibility. If you stay on this case, you've got to do the right thing and recuse yourself What? Recuse yourself right now. Yes. What does that mean?

Remove himself from the case. Because? Because he could be impartial. He's a booster. He's ruined on a case involving an Alabama basketball player. Why, you sound like, did you go to law school? I slept at a Holiday Express last night. Oh, gosh. Can he just get a different joke? It's like you just pull the string.

I know, but that's a good job. That's exactly what recusal is. Do we think this dude ends up playing in the NCAA tournament? I'm going to see. He's double digits. Both games is playing. Yes. And it's probably, he probably wanted the guy to step down.

Like, this kid probably wants to win a legit case. And no matter what happened in the case, if they had that judge, no one was going to believe that they were going to continue to mock it. But I expect he'll still play. And that's just the world we live in now. I expect to see him in the tournament in college. One person writes, Matt, there's a Hallmark movie being filmed right now. And Henderson, the whole town is a buzz about it.

Ooh, that's getting close to my neck of the woods. What is that called? Henderson. I was about to say Hoochie. I don't think that would be a Hallmark movie. Henderson Happiness? Maybe. How about that?

I didn't understand the connection why all these films would be, Hallmark films were coming to Kentucky. I've been told most of them is because the crew, like there are, Shannon's right, there is a tax thing, but most states now have that. But there is a crew here that films the Hallmark style.

They don't have to bring people in from out of state to do. I got emails like every month, like asking me to be an extra. And I keep saying, nope. They ask you to be an extra? Yeah, I mean, I was in an extra. in a movie that just came out in theaters.

The wrestling one. No, no, there's another one. I mean, you were in another movie? With Al Pacino and Bill Scarsguard. What? Yeah. I was a police officer. You see me for about two seconds.

What are you talking about? You were in a movie with Al Pacino? I mean, I wasn't, I was in the same movie as an extra. It wasn't like we had lines. Why didn't you tell us this? I did last year. We filmed it last year. I was a cop.

Remember he had the real goofy-looking sheriff's outfit? He put it a selfie. Were you not here for that? Maybe I was in Europe. Maybe he was out. Maybe he were. Okay. I have no memory of you being in a movie with Al Pacino.

I feel like that would have stuck with me. Well, yeah. What was it called? Dead Man's Wire. It's in theaters right now. It just came out. Yep. It just came out?

Yeah, like last week. Did you get invited to the premiere? No, but I showed up anyway. The one in Louisville. Oh, they had one in Louisville? Yeah. So you can see you in the movie? I mean, look, I'm an extra two seconds, maybe at the moment.

most you see me opening up a door as we're bringing out the hostage that's it did they film that here yes and was al Pacino here uh i i didn't see him but yeah probably so i had to have been in there's no way i he tweeted a selfie of uh the the outfit we're asking if he's going to keep it okay yeah bill scars guard was definitely here i don't know if you know who that is but he's i know who it is yeah i know who bill scars guard i saw pachino filmed his part in the whole movie in like a few hours he was in little for a day I don't know play that. That's where they like pay him a lot, then he gets in and out.

Okay. I have the name of the one in Henderson. What is? Already. It is called Happy Holly Day. It's about a woman named Holly Day who loves Christmas and her neighbor Carol does not. First of all, I went to high school with a girl named Holly Day. Could be about her.

Did she have a neighbor named after her now? Tension builds because one lawn is filled with decorations and the other is not. Wow. So it's like a fight over a inflatable Santa Claus. Added tension occurs. And Carol learns that her son has an interest in Holiday, and she is horrified by that. Huh.

Well, I actually went to high school with a girl named Holly Day. I hope it's a story about her, because she always was very pleasant. They're also filming in Owensboro, Ron. You could go check it out. Wow, Kentucky is the center of the movie universe. Who's up next? Brandon.

Brandon. Go ahead, Brandon. Hey, guys. First time, long time. Whoa? uh former i heart radio uh personality in lexington as well so i i'm aware of what a 40 is that's amazing good job thank you um a couple things real quick um i would pay darn good money to be in the k kentucky locker room before the came and hear bob and jamestown give a speech yeah i would

that would guarantee an 80 point loss that would be great fun the other thing um uk memorabilia i promise this exists i have seen it my friend's grandfather got an award for being like the most wild UK fan or whatever back in the back in the late 60s. It is a stuffed blue frog that has UK in white lettering stitch on the back. And it is a very blessed anatomically correct frog. With that, I appreciate my call. I appreciate the call. Wow.

A UK frog. I think they used to do more of that kind of stuff. Like I think they, like you were telling me there's Adolf Rup Chili. Yeah. Brookings? Brooklyn's Chile. They sell it now in individual packets. They still do? The Bowling Alley brought it back. Yeah, the Bowling Alley brought it back. Southland Lane.

Yeah, I have one at home. I have one at home. Wow, I had no idea. We do miss these things. I think the more of that kind of stuff, okay, JMI, you want to make some money? Put the UK logo on random weird things. Underwear. Yeah.

Oh, do you not think UK underwear would sell? Of course it would. Oh, my goodness. Of course it would. It would sell a ton. Like, you could put UK, personally, you could put it on anything you want, but the weirder, the better for me, right?

Yeah, I mean, listen, I love a new Nike hoodie, but in 30 years, I'm not going to care about that. It's these little trinkets and random items people have. Yeah, you give me a UK anatomically correct frog? Could never part ways with that. That would be on my mantle. Would it? Well, maybe not on my mantle.

He said it was very blessed. Very blessed. I'm just saying, I actually think you want to sell stuff. I'm not even kidding. Sell weird stuff. We all have shirts, but we don't all have, you know, underwear in the U.K. Wasn't that long ago, the guy showed up here at the restaurant had a UK coloring book from like the 70s where you could color pictures of Fran Cursey and the football team.

I've never seen anything like this before, ever. Well, there you go. By the way, I'm told that the new cornbread hemp ad with me is really slowed down, and it makes me sound like I'm drunk. You sound like you've had a lot of the product. I got reports of that too. Some people wrote me. It makes you sound like you're using the product.

Well, there are a few weeks into the near year, and your resolutions are feeling harder to keep. Go to cornbread hemp.com. Buy one, get 50% off. What's the code? Don't quit. Yeah, don't quit. You can't say it's done.

Don't quit. Stock up and stay committed. It's cornbread sleep gummies, oils, and top. Topicles. Cornbreadhamp.com. promo code is don't quit. Cornbread hemp, this is the good life.

Did you know the new Love is Blind is in Cincinnati?

They're shooting it in Cincinnati right now? Or it's airing it's already been shot? I don't know. I don't know if it's the one there's airing with Cincinnati, or I actually think they've put out a casting call. I think it's like the next one's going to be in Cincinnati. They already have the cast of people on it. I don't know if it's actually.

So I guess it's already been. So yeah, it was in Cincinnati. I love they're trying to do new things. Like, we could do Love Island, Brazil. We could do Love Island, Spain. No, they're doing Love Island, Ohio. Love Island, Dayton. Well, I mean, that's interesting, right?

Would you want to be on that show? I mean, I guess you all wouldn't because you're in love. How single I'd go on one? One person writes, Matt, according to Google, there are a number of Hallmark movies being filmed in Kentucky in 2026. They include Derby Love at Churchill Downs, Midway to Love, which is in Midway, the Ultimate Legacy, which is in Oldham County, and Bachelor Santa, which is being filmed in Owensboro. Wow. That's pretty cool, actually. When I was reading the Holiday story, there was an interview with the director, and he said it was his 11th Hallmark movie in Kentucky.

Kentucky. So yeah, you're right. That's the thing. I think we get most of the... And they want that hometown setting that's already established in the downtown of, you know, LaGrange or some of these cities? The CBS Classic kick St. John's out. Yes. And added Kansas.

I think they kick St. John's out because no one came from St. John's, even though they were playing Kentucky. So they added Kansas. So it's Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, and Ohio State. Now, because Kansas is also in the Champions Classic, that means we will play Kansas, two out of every three seasons.

Do you like that? Kansas is almost becoming an annual opponent. I do like it. I really kind of wish it was really kind of a home-and-home instead of always on the road of these neutral sides. I wish we did. Game next year's in Madison Square Guard. Yeah, I would like to see them on the schedule, but kind of do the home-and-home that we used to do once in a while.

I was hoping they wouldn't keep doing this event, but if you are, I'm glad it's Kansas that's in there to make it a little better. But I'm with Ryan. I wish we could get more campus games. We've done this in the Champions Classic for feels like a decade. decade. I'm ready for something new, but at least they upgraded it if they're sticking with it. Can I make the call? Can we get rid of Ohio State? Yeah. Champions. Oh, no, excuse me, this is CBS. Never mind. Different of it. This is CBS class. But I mean,

I don't know. Who would you rather have in the Big Ten? Michigan? I mean, I guess you've got to be careful about Purdue because if they're not good one year, then you wouldn't want them on the team. But Ohio State, I feel like, just is not a marquee program. I'd rather have Yukon. The problem with talking trash about Ohio State in it is I think we're 0 and 4. I know we are. I know we are. We're actually the team that stinks in this. Yeah, I don't love this event either, but they're going to do it, and it's going to be the Saturday before Christmas from now on.

All permanently. Yeah, it's the Saturday. It's the last, it's basically the Saturday of the first round of the playoff from now on. Well, I mean, I kind of like that because when we had it in the, you know, up against the football playoffs. It kind of got lost in the shuffle a little bit. I like maybe giving it its own little weekend. Like I said, I wanted to die.

Maybe Kansas will give it a little more juice. Attendance hadn't been great at this. They did get a good crowd, though, this year. Atlanta has been good every time, I should say, but there was one in New Orleans, like a couple days. Don't want to do that. Yeah. I think New York and Atlanta is the only place they've consistently gotten people,

so I think that's probably where it ends up. Who's next? Doing good. Doing good. Go ahead. Gentlemen, I'm doing good. I hope you're doing better. Wanted to get in touch.

You heard about the rating, so congratulations. You said two out of five people are listening to KSR. When you think about all the options on radio, that's amazing. I want to know who are these other three people, and how do I get to have a talk with them because they need to start listening immediately? That's a good question. I don't know. I mean, you'd be amazed, though.

There are a ton of people who have no idea who we are. I still encounter people all the time. I like that because then they don't say, you know, stupid liberal. And they tend to be, honestly, mostly people on my political side of the aisle. Like, that tends to be the people who don't know who we are. I think most. So, yeah, but there are many. I appreciate the call.

And radio people will tell you this is the worst time slot of the day. And yet somehow we've made it work and become the number one show in that time slot. I need all of you that are listening to this show to check your phone. Yeah, this is... Not those of you at home. The people that are on this show. Okay. Someone just sent me a picture of this frog.

No. I can't tweet this out. No. That... Why can't you? He said, very graciously blessed. How did UK make this? I don't know.

Why make them thought that was a good at that? Is that even a frog? It looks like a well-endowed tooth. Yeah, it looks like a tooth. Yeah. I mean... I don't, I wish I could, there's no way for me to share this publicly without, I wish I could show you the listeners this. The winner for weirdest piece of UK memorabilia, I thought the underwear was the weirdest.

We have our winner. Nothing is going to beat this. Would you agree? I had an idea of my mind. It is much worse. Yeah. When he called and said what it was, you're exactly right. I thought it was what, this is much worse.

Who made this? There's parts of it. I wish I could describe more, but I can't. And it's just a stuffed animal, right? Who can I get to post this so it's not me? I'll post it. I don't care. I've already retweeted it.

Oh, yeah, I guess it's on Twitter. Yeah. Yeah, Drew, you post it. This looks like this is a Drew. I'm trying to buy it. Yeah, that's what you said you wanted on your mantle, Matt. Yeah. Buy it for Matt.

But, Shannon, you retweeted it? Yeah, it's okay. All right. Well, I'll let you all put your name, right? Sometimes. Who's up next? Bill. Bill, go ahead, Bill.

Hey, Matt, how you doing? I'm good. I can't get over this. I can't either. I can't even. I thought that was a good idea. Go ahead, Bill. Hey, I talked to you,

I called in a couple days ago saying that I was like a little fan listening to you guys. I could see what, like, your ratings and everything, why that'd probably be. So I just want to say congrats for you guys. But I did have a quick question. Hypothetically, if you could choose between. a Kentucky national title or the Reds and Hurricanes winning a title? Which one would you choose? I'd still choose a Kentucky national title.

It brings me more personal joy. As much as I like the Reds and the Hurricanes, like when they win, I'm still kind of celebrating, for the most part, by myself, or with the Hurricanes by myself, with the Reds, there's a couple of my friends. But with Kentucky, there's a joy it brings to the state. So I would still take Kentucky. appreciate the call. I mean, I would rank in terms of who I would like to see win a title, Kentucky 1, Reds 2, Hurricanes 3, Bears 4.

I thought the Bears might be actually number 2. I love the Bears, but I think they'll get one. Hurricanes have been knocking on the door, and the Reds, it feels like they'll never have a chance. So that's why I would pick them. We'll take a break. Be right back. KSR. T.J. Smith, personal injury attorney.

He just put out a weather alert for this weekend. Weather people, new terms, come out all the time. He says this weekend in the Carolinas, there's a possibility of a bomb cyclone. What is that? A bomb cyclone. Up to a foot of snow, hurricane force winds with the snow. They call it a bomb cyclone. So we've had a frost quake and a bomb cyclone this week.

Could be around everywhere. The snow will be from Charlotte up, but around the outer banks, et cetera. Watch out for a potential bomb cyclone. Never heard that one before. They're ramping up the marketing. weather now? Are they just trying to grab our attention even more? Bomb cyclone, though, sounds scary. Those are two words I don't want to be near. I don't want to be near a bomb. I don't want to be near a cyclone.

If somebody says, we've got snow this weekend, I'll be fine. Someone says bomb cyclone. You've got to start making some life decisions. Wonder where they got the word bomb. I don't know. I'll tell you what, this dude does a got a lot of credibility and respect, I think, just in the past couple weeks. Yes. He says, he says, do not underestimate the wind threat, even if you don't see. snow. So the Carolinas are on alert. This weekend? This weekend. Bomb Cycling. 859-280-2287. Who's up next? Let's go to Nick. Nick. Go ahead, Nick.

Hey guys. Good morning. Congrats on the success. Love the show. Thank you. This is kind of an ask anything Wednesday question. If it's cool, if I ask it, you guys brought up a hotbed earlier. I found myself in a really unfortunate situation in the past two years. I was at the Ohio State, Tennessee playoff game last year. That's the night we got our teeth kicked in by Ohio State Madison Square Garden, decked out and head to toe Kentucky gear, okay? Horrible. I mean, I had no friends on any side.

Ohio State's yelling at me, Tennessee's yelling at me. Their whole fan base. Two weeks ago, I'm in Fayetteville for the Tennessee Arkansas game. Same situation. Teeth kicked down by Alabama. I'm sorry, I just want to know from y'all, if you're going into a hostile environment like that, are you decked out and head to Kentucky gear? Yes.

Yeah, you go. First, you do not go to a road game and not wear Kentucky gear. Kentucky fan. You deck out, and I appreciate the call. You have to consider your surroundings, Drew, to decide how rude you're going to be. I mean, I was at Kentucky Ole Miss when we won, but I was at Kentucky Old Miss when we lost, and generally speaking, the only place I've ever been, I've been to two places where wearing Kentucky gear got me taunted. At Indiana, and then at Georgia that year when we played them in football when they were barking at us. Otherwise, people generally don't aren't that bad. Oh, I welcome it. I think he was asking though he was at a Tennessee

out, like he was at two teams that weren't Kentucky. Oh, I think that's what he was saying. Yeah, now that's a little different because everybody can unify in their hatred of you. He was at Arkansas, Alabama. They both hated him in Tennessee, Ohio. Yeah, now that's different. I might dress neutral for that. Just because I don't need any, I get plenty of fights. I don't need them. I think it would kind of defend on my confidence. Right now, absolutely not. I'm covering it up because they're just going to make fun of me. But if we're winning and on top, yeah, I'm going to go stick my chest out. Yeah, now's not the best time to go out and start pounding our chest going to

Arkansas, Tennessee game wearing Kentucky stuff. All right, so I wanted to bring up something. We, you know, we're going the Super Bowl. The NFL is booking guests for us. Okay. Okay. So can I tell you who we are interviewing? Already set up.

These are already set up. There will be more. They have time stamps on them. These are, we are interviewing these people, and I, the question is, what am I going to ask these people? Terrell Davis. This is just me and Drew. interview it. Terrell Davis. What do you think about Devon Key? Hello, Terrell Davis. Remember when you

played for the Broncos? How are you doing? It's excited to see your old team back. He's also, we also have to, we also have to do the sponsors. So they're all brought in by sponsors. We have to plug the sponsors. Okay. So Terrell Davis is Tardive Discancia. I would learn how to make sure we pronounce that right. No, we ask him and he tells us. Yeah. He's the one getting paid to say it. Tell me about Tardive Disconcia. I think we're supposed to generically be like, so what are you up to this week, Terrell?

And he's like, let me tell you about Tardive Disconcia. And that's when he gets his money. Next, Mike Golick, Sr. That'd be a good interview. You know what, I want to ask. How did you do radio with someone you hated? Yeah. When we got the email with his name,

my brain's like Matt's definitely asked him about the mic and Mike Dynamic. Well, they apparently hated each other. I mean, that's the most interesting thing he could say. Do you think I can ask him, Did you and Mike Greenberg not to get along? I don't know if you want to talk about it in Super Bowl Week. Well, he's sponsored by Decom so I can say, look, I'll talk about your stupid decom. But did you hate Mike Greenberg?

You should have used to him because what else are you ever going to talk to him? Exactly. Have you ever met him before? No. No. He was there when we were at Draft Kings that day. Remember? He was doing the show with his son.

It was their debut. Oh, you weren't there. Drew and I were there. You flew home because your house was on fire. Drew and I were there. I remember that. Yeah, but of all the people on the list, he's probably the one I would have the least to say to, other than the Mike and Mike thing. I think you got, Shannon, I can ask him that, right?

I mean, I'll ask him in a nice way, but you did radio. There's been, like, did you ever get mad at him? What's the worst is going to happen? He's going to, like, step away, and then, oh, you lost an interview with him. That's horrible. That's horrible. Oh, that's a good one. Lots to say here.

Lots to say. He's from Kentucky. We can talk about Eric Witherspoon, my high school guy that went with a, they had a rushing battle that year. for the state rushing title? Yeah, we had Eric Witherspoon. He was at Boone County. They went for the rushing title. Eric was supposed to go to Penn State.

He'll know who I'm talking about. I'll tell you, that'll blow his mind if you pull up the deep cut. No one at the Super Bowl is asking him about Eric Witherspoon. He would probably really enjoy talking about that, going back to his glory days at Boone County. Yes. Christian McCaffrey. Goodwin. What am I going to say, though?

You say good, what am I going to ask him? He's had a monster couple of year this year after. coming off an injury. Okay. So what's the question? Does it hurt being here? You were so close. It's in your city.

Does it make you want it even more that you're having to be a part of this and you're not in the game? Perfect question. Do you think you have too many brothers? Did they have a lot of brothers? Well, they all, doesn't he? It's got like 10 McCaffrey's in the NFL, right? I don't know. You don't know about the other one?

No, I just know about him. Okay. And then finally, Taylor, Luan, and Will Compton from busing with the boys. These are my guys. Now that one's easy. I'm going to go, hey, Will, Compton, we stole your quarterback and you whined about it online. Remember he was the guy.

Oh, yes. So that one I'm looking forward to. That would might be a little confrontational, Drew. But that's weird, though, because I love them. They're former Titans. I have a Taylor-Lewan jersey. It's a little weird. You should wear it.

You should take it and, like, pull it out. I might pull it out. I'm not going to wear it. Yeah, pull it out. I'm looking at their banner right here. We do have their banner right out front. So I'm looking forward to talking about lots of stuff we could go that direction. I'm going to give Wilcompton a hard time because he got on there and whine

that we took his quarterback, and I'm going to say, you're supposed to be Nebraska, we're Kentucky, stop lining. I know they kind of do what we do for Nebraska. Do they still do that? No, they do a national thing. Out of Nashville? Yeah. So those are some of the guests that we're interviewing.

I'm excited for you to do Sean Alexander. You know, he's one of our greatest football players ever, but we don't get a chance to really, he doesn't come home much enough where people can talk to him. Yep. Well, we're talking to him. Very cool. Right on the set. Tell him I said hello, would you?

Ron's one question. Do you know him? I've never met him. him. Well, then why why not tell him you said hello? Just because I was kind of admired him from afar. But he won't know who you are. No idea. So you want me to go, Ryan Lemon says hello.

He's just going to look at me like I'm insane. Yeah, okay, tell Ryan I said, hey. We'll tell Christian McCaffrey. You know what? You know what, Shannon, that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to tell all these people Ryan said hello. Okay. Tell we'll end every interview.

Yeah. Ryan Lemon said hello. And they'll just, that'd be great to get the reaction of what they say when I look at them and say Ryan Lemon said. Mario can do a compilation. Yeah, because some of them are going to act like they know it. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

They'll say. Is that the guy that got tased? That's what they'll say. You know what, Ryan? I want to thank you. That's going to be my gimmick. I'm going to look at all these people and say, hey, by the way, one of your friends, Ryan Lemon said hello and see what their reaction is.

We'll be able to tell if these people are liars or not. Also, let's not do this, but just our guests. Let's do this everywhere in the building, even if they're not part of our interview schedule. Let's just go up to people. Ryan Lemon said hello. Because some of them are going to act like they know you and be full. They'll fake it. Yeah, they got that politician thing ready to go.

You've just given me the best gimmick for the show. You've literally, you just made my Super Bowl coverage. Ryan Lemon says hello. We'll call it Ryan says hi. Mario gets all their reactions and puts them together. McAfee, Ryan Lemon says hello. Oh, tell him I said, hey. Rich Eisen, hey, Ryan Lemon.

I like it. The chain smokers? Luda. Who's next? He might know Louda. Jacob. Go ahead, Jacob. Good morning, y'all. How are you? Good.

Congratulations on the ratings. Thank you. So I have a pillow case that I've had since I was a teenager. Still have it. Still use it. It's the old 90s Kentucky logo. Never going to get rid of it. So is it sheets in a pillowcase or just the pillowcase? Well, I lost the sheets when I was a teenager or my mom threw them away when I joined the Army. Oh, okay. But then I kept the public case. I used the pillowcase. It went everywhere with me.

I didn't take it to Iraq because I didn't want to lose it. But anyway, that's interesting. I'm very, very excited for the Kentucky football program this year coming up. Mark Stutz brought us a long way. I'm very proud of Stoots. I'm thankful for his contribution to our team, but I'm very excited about the Will Stein era. And I want your.

Me too. I mean, I was talking with that with Kublich and McElroy today. I'm very excited about the Will Stein era. I think he's going to be, I think he's the perfect coach. I appreciate the call for modern era of college football, this NIL roster building, high-powered offense. I think he's going to be – I'm with you. I have a lot of thanks for Mark Stoops. I think he did a really good job here for a long time.

I think he was a great steward of the program, but I'm very excited about the new era, and I'm really looking forward to UK football next year in a way that I probably haven't been the last few years. So, you know. I think keeping Stoop's name in a positive light was very intentional on UK's in. I mean, Will Stein mentioned him. You don't usually see the incoming coach. You don't think the one that just got canned. But I think that's been purposeful.

And I've even heard a little bit that, you know, Stoops is offered Stein, like if I could be of any help on certain things. Well, Stobs is going to be living here. We'll see him. You think they'd bring him to a game next year? Or is that too soon? Ooh, that's going to be tough. I think he would get, I honestly think he would. get a standing ovation at Crogerfield next year.

I don't think they'll do it, but I bet he would. I don't know if UK will bring him out in like an official, here he is, but it would not shock me to see him. Do you think he would get a standing ovation? I think he would for some, and there are others that were so down on him and wanted him gone so bad, but the way he handled his exit, I think he wasn't going to be a little. But let's say we're five and two and playing somebody good here. You don't think he'd get a standing ovation?

I do. I don't think there'd be any booing. I don't think there'd be any booing at all. I mean, who's mad at him now, for real? Like, I'd say the same thing about Cal if he hadn't gone to another school and been on the schedule. Like, if he had been around. But there were people who had genuine contempt for Cal. But it gets the point when you get what you wanted.

At that point, you're just being a jerk if he's just booing to booing to. You know, he already got him. He's already gone. I agree with that. He's the best coach we've ever had here. Shannon, do you think he would get an ovation next year? Yeah, I think that he would. I actually think he would.

I mean, maybe a few jerks that are booing. but overall, I think it would be cheers. I don't think they'll do it because they're going to want to give it time. Yeah. But I actually think you would.

It is Tucky Sports Radio. 859-2-2-2-287-27-27-4. Most people riding me saying they would give a standing ovation to Stoops. Although one person says, Matt, you didn't think our fans would boo Travis Perry either, so maybe your pulse on the booing isn't the best. Maybe.

Maybe I was surprised about the Travis Perry thing, so maybe I'm wrong. I didn't get to comment on that, but I was surprised that he got booed every time he touched the ball. That was bad. I thought he'd get booed in starting lineups, but every time he did anything, that surprised me, too. So I think we both whiffed on the expectations. I think a lot of it is just not. foreseen how much the younger folks would do that. But, you know, I got that wrong. Normally, I feel like I kind of have a good sense of when that's going to happen, but I did not, I didn't

see that, see that coming. So you think it might be the students that maybe not greet stoop? Students didn't like stoop's at the end. So I think if there was booing, they would be the, they would be the leader. I think so. Yeah. But I, you know, maybe they would. And maybe that's why you don't risk it yet, you know. Yeah, I wouldn't do it right away. I don't. I don't. Don't think he'd get booed. It's just unnecessary. Let Will have his year. We'll see how it goes.

I've got a, uh, Kentucky Mounder, you've got a, it's a RC 16 ounce glass Coke bottles. Got the big Kentucky Wildcat looks like you're jumping out of it. I've seen those. Yeah, I've seen those. Yeah, it's got the win, all-time win record from 1903 to 74. 1,117 wins, 375 losses and one tie. One tie. And then I've got a 1990 red, 703.

75, 75, World Championship bottle that gives all the wins and losses and stuff on them. Yeah, well, I appreciate the call, sir. I've seen a lot of R.C. and Coke bottles

and that kind of thing. I haven't seen a lot of frogs with the thing out. Yes, we have a whole set of them right up here. There's a set of Coke and R.C. bottles up there. I think those are Tubby Smith edition.

One of them's Tubby, and I think one of them's like from the 78 team. Yeah, I have one that goes back to like the 60s, that somebody gave me once, yes. We had some people, I think, donated. I've seen that, Conell's RC bottles. I don't know how much people drank RC,

but RC made a lot of those commemorative bottles. Who's up next? Did you go to Joe? Joe, go ahead, Joe. Hey, Matt, congratulations. I know all you guys' success. Nobody deserves it more. Thank you.

We're in the trust tree, right? Yes. Everyone can be honest. Okay. Got a question for you from earlier in the show, because I was ready to answer your question. But when you were talking about Jose Mareno, and you said, you began to say, if a coach called himself the special one,

and it sounded you were searching for a name. Was the first name that popped to your head, you thought about saying John Cal Perry, then you realized that everyone would say, yes, he would call himself that? I don't think John Calgary would call himself the special one, because John Calgary had, like, fake humility, Like he would, he, he would like, he believed he was the special, but he wouldn't say it.

I can't think of a coach in America who would say I am the special. There are many that believe it. But can you see anyone saying it? Lane Kiffin might say. Dan Hurley. Dan Hurley might say it. He would definitely say it. Now, I could, that's the one.

That's the one. I appreciate the call. I could see Dan Hurley saying I'm the special one. He's the one I could see. Supposed he hasn't already said it. Yeah, if anybody would be him. Did he already have a quote similar to that last year, I think, where he said something. Everybody rolled out.

He's the one. He's the best college coach in America is what he said. He's having the best college coach in America. And he said other people are mad about it. The only ones I think would be possibilities I think of football coaches, not necessarily a lot of basketball coaches. I think Danny Kiffin hasn't won anything, so he can't say it. Danny Hurley is the one. Yeah.

That's a great call. Nick Saban, would he do it? No, no, he would never say that. Draft Kings, you go to Draft Kings, you bet five, you get $200 in bonus bets. Draft Kings, use my promo code KSR. Our pick for tonight, Draft Kings, Penn State, Northwestern. Why are we picking that one? Both teams are 0 and 9 in the Big Ten.

Oh. This will be one of them getting their first win in the Big Ten. Northwestern's a seven and a half-point favorite at home, even though neither team has won a game. Who you got? Northwestern, Big Favisters. favorite at home. I'm going to go with Northwestern. I have no idea who they have. Is Julia Louise Dreyfuss's son still play for them? Possibly. I don't know. Maybe Kramer's kid. So what about you?

I don't know a lot about Northwestern, but I know Penn State absolutely sucks, so I will take Northwestern. Shannon? I'm going to say Penn State messes around and wins tonight. When they win. I'm just saying Northwestern wins, but Penn State covers. There are people who think Penn State might be the first team to go 0 and 20 in the Big Ten ever because they play 20. They're that bad. Yes.

Yeah, I don't know their exact resume, but I have a friend that likes Penn State, and it's not a good scene for Penn State fans and basketball. I can understand. Hey, thank you all very much for listening. Come on out over the course of the next couple days here at the bar. We'd love to have you check out the burgers and the wings.
