Now here's Matt Jones. Welcome everyone to another edition of Kentucky Sports Radio. Wednesday, April 1st. I am not Matt Jones. I am Billy Rutledge. You can give us a call today on the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line. That's 859-280-2287. Text us at the A-Vision Auto Glass text machine, which I guess we don't have.

Ryan, you didn't bring that in today, did you? I can go get it. You can use our text line for the pre-show. Okay, yeah, there we go. Use our pre-show text lines. Perfect. 502-265-6 if you'd like to join the show today. And KSR is brought to you by the T.J. Smith Law Office.

You call T.J. What will make them do, Shannon? You'll make them pay. That's right. We love our guy, TJ. We are live at KS Bar and Grill for an April Fool's Day edition of Kentucky Sports Radio alongside Ryan Lemon and Drew Franklin. I don't know if I've ever hosted with you guys before like this. Have we ever done this before? I don't think we've done it with you hosting here at the restaurant for sure. I don't know if we've ever done it with you hosting.

Yeah. It's a big day. Big day. Big Billy's all grown up now. Look at him. Well, I was reminiscing here because now I have my photo on the wall here at KS bar. Yes, you do. Not only that, but there's two of them.

If you look right up here, Ryan, there's myself and my KSR pre-show co-host Shannon the Doos. Live at the third-eyed blind concert. Oh, who bought those and framed those and put them up? Wow. With your own money? Yeah, that was me. Oh, thank you. You got some billy up there.

You got reimbursed, didn't you? I did not, but that's all right. Happy to have a big beautiful bill up there on the show. Well, that means a lot, Drew. Thank you. I mean that personally. Shannon's got his scarf and fedora combo on in that. That's his rock and roll, Alice Bluegown outfit right there.

Yeah. And then if you go up a little bit further, you can find me with my hand raised after the Hay-Bow championship, Ryan. So who could forget that day as well? And your trophy. Your trophy's up there. My trophy. Yeah, your Hay-Bell trophy because my hog-calling trophy's up there. Oh, the hog-calling trophy.

That's right. You did win it the next year. So, guys, it feels like I've come full circle a little bit from a part-time producer now to host in the show. Thank you for having me this morning. Well, you're having us. You're the host. We are your guests. So thank you for having us on the show today, but we're excited for you to drive a little bit.

I'm just going to sit back here and speak when spoken to. Yeah, do your thing. I'm a little misty-eyed. See, you're all growing up. You and Mario, watch you guys grow up right in front of our eyes. Now, here you're a 30-year-old man getting ready to get married this summer. It's crazy. Well, I do want to get to that.

I need some wedding advice from my uncles here that will be coming to the wedding. I'm perfect for that. And then you mentioned Mario, I want to get to Mario. You wait, Mario. I've got some stuff to say about you a little bit later in the show. But, Ryan, I got a gift for you. Yeah. That's something I want to give you here to start the show.

Oh, the key. And that is the key that you gave me yesterday to get into KS.R. This morning. Yes. Does not work. And Monique said that this key has not worked for years. It's been multiple years since they've used the Wildcat Blue Key to get in. So I do want to return the key this morning.

Oh, great. How did you get in then? So she was here? Yeah, Monique was here. She let me in the door. But you might want to get that change, Ryan, in case you want to get into the bar a little bit later this week. Or at all. I've had to use it to get in the last four years.

Yeah, four years ago probably. She said multiple years since the key's been used. You can throw it in the junk drawer with the A-Vision Glass. There we go. Well, I'm glad you got in. That's the main thing. Yeah, I got in. We did the pre-show.

We had a great time. Shannon and I will keep it rolling for another couple hours here. We mentioned it is April Fool's Day. And a tough day for everybody that gets fooled by the news on Facebook when it comes to Kentucky Wildcats. It's just going to be one of those Internet, literal. it days, Drew, when it comes to these things. Yeah, it's April Fool's Day for them 365, but today it really ramps up.

I personally hate this holiday. I see it as people who aren't funny think it's their time to shine, and it's usually not good. I keep my guard up already, but I've not seen a good April Fool's prank in many years. I don't know about you all, but it's to the point I feel like we should just take it off the calendar. Does anyone

really love this holiday or we all kind of roll our eyes? It's a little overplayed. I think you'd be asking me. I mean, it was I mean, a little different back in the early 2000s. Shannon and I talked about this this morning. Like, I don't know. Everybody's very sensitive, Ryan. Yeah.

Comedy isn't taking the same anymore. So maybe that's kind of ruined the holiday a little bit. Well, we were all younger, I think it was a big deal. You know, we're always trying to get your mom and dad or something. Now it's like not even, kind of forget it's even April Fool's Day now. Well, now every brand with the Twitter account puts something out. True. A restaurant.

Everything. You just open social media in the morning and just scroll through all the dump. graphics that nobody falls for. I'm coming off as a scrooge here on April Fool's Day, but it's just, it's become too much, and everyone has their guard up, and the only people that are still trying are the people who aren't funny. Should we tell him? What? We April Fooled you this morning. How'd you get me? McDonald's and Winchester Road. That was not a great experience. That wasn't April Fool's. I was just in competence. I don't think that was a fool's. We called them and said Drew's going to stop.

Messies order up and let him take 30 minutes to get through the drive to. I'm not going, but some people need to figure it out. I didn't just leave it to that. Didn't know we were going there this morning. That was an adventure. But I don't think that was April Fools. I think that was just general incompetence. Well, you know, Ryan, did you ever work fast food back in the day? I haven't.

I probably should have a thing. Everybody should do it at least once to appreciate what happens there. I never have. Loved it. I think everybody should do it. I say everybody should serve in a restaurant or pass through one of the two. You got to deal with people like I did this morning. I did drive-through.

I rolled tacos on Taco Tuesday every Tuesday. Cashire, clean bathroom. Started as a dishwasher. I actually enjoyed the fast food experience. back when I did it. And I think it leads you to be a better patron when you go to the restaurants. A better tipper for sure. You understand the staff a little better.

So I never did you? No, never fast food, but I worked out of Dick Sporting Goods for one summer. And they used to say on the walkie-talkie, who just folded these clothes in the middle of Dick's sporting goods? This is not how you fold clothes. So I was banished from actually doing the clothes. I just stayed in the golf section. But it built some character. I don't know why everybody blames the guy at the register when they returned something to, Drew.

It was like it was my fault that the product was broken But I agree with you, Ryan Everybody should do it at least once Well, you know, I grew up in Otwell, Indiana Well, there were surprisingly no dicks Sporting goods, there's no McDonald's, there's nothing There's an elementary school and a post dog So I mowed grass, that was my job growing up

Yeah, I was mowing grass And if you mowed yet, I mean, this is a big week for mowing For a lot of people in a room I didn't mow, but I had a guy mow my grass Because it's it is time If you don't get on top of it now It'll end up being a jungle before too long Well, it's a weird time in sports, right?

waiting for the final four this weekend. Shannon and I discussed 800 players have entered to transfer portal, yet the portal is not open until for another week. So we're just kind of waiting on edge to see some news break, and it was kind of quiet yesterday. We didn't get much news after Mo Williams joined the staff and the rumors about Tyrant Stokes. Did you watch him in the McDonald's All-American game last night?

Did you guys turn that on at all? I caught the highlights. I didn't watch it loud, but I was up earlier this morning and pulled it up on the old ESPN app and kind of fast-forward it through the commercials and did a, I guess a quick rewatch. But yeah, I caught a lot of it. Yeah, he looked pretty good in the fourth quarter.

Did he have, like, a hoodie on underneath this jersey? Is that what he was wearing? It's a new trend. I liked a lot of people today, especially on KS. Board, are loving what they saw out of him as a distributor. We even have a thread, like make him point guard one. I think that's a bit of an overreaction to how he played last night, but he did show off why he's the number one player in the class.

Nine of his 12 points being in the fourth quarter, had a double, got to 10 rebounds. Ryan, I mean, you saw why he was the number of, one prospect here in the class. I talked to a guy that knows basketball yesterday, and we were like, you know, I hear he's a problem in the locker room. I hear he's a problem, you know, not a good teammate. But if he's the number one player in the class, if nothing else, you go get that kid for the perception purpose that you have the ability to recruit that type of caliber player.

Poop poop. Pope's not proved he can recruit that type of player yet. So for perception purpose, he has to go out and poop and get that guy. What is happening? I don't know about all the language there, but I agree. He's got to go out and get Stokes. Pope needs a lot of wins right now. No, Pope.

He needs a lot of wins right now. I liked Mo Williams. Williams-hire, as I said yesterday, there's been some debate on that, but he needs to get some off-season wins. I mean, he can't do anything, really, until they get on the court next year. But he needs to give Big Blue Nation some reasons to smile after how the year went.

Yeah, for those perception purposes. Get the number one guy in the class. Absolutely. Get a former NBA champion with links to a guy like LeBron, Maybe Brony comes to Rupp Arena one of these days, Mario, if we can get that connection going. But it was exciting to see Tyrant play, and Myron Medcalf was on. I don't know if it was halftime or during one of the breaks. He basically said it's going to come down to Bill Self coming back to Kansas or not,

whether Tyrant Stokes goes to Kentucky or Kansas. And I think that there's what, like Jack was talking about, the Adidas-Naki thing does play into it. You know, us old folks didn't think it makes them a different, what shoe you wear. You know, if he grew up a Nike kid, he played for the Nike organization, his AAU team was Nike. It makes a difference for these kids, really, what their shoe company is. Well, he already has a Nike deal. He's signed, so it'll be awkward if he does go to Kansas. I don't know if he'll wear Nike's and put tape over it or wear Adidas and put tape over that.

But, you know, that'll be a unique situation he's in if he goes to Kansas. I wonder how that works. Like, obviously, they would still go to the school, but would you cover things up with tape? I don't know how that would even work. I don't think they'd let him, would they? I can only think, like, what did Michael Jordan in the Olympics? They weren't Nike and he covered up Reebok. I can't even think of times like this.

This has even happened because in college, this has never been an issue until now, but he's already got a Nike deal, but seems to be leaning towards an Adidas school. Well, the perception seems to be that he'll make a decision after the Nike Hoops Summit on April 11th. So if we're looking at the timeline here, the transfer portal opens April 7th.

You have this Nike summit April 11th, and then Ryan, maybe you have a much better idea of who's going to be on this team next year. You know, all the conspiracy theorists were out there, you know, Mo Williams, good with friends, Jamal Crawford, who coaches Tiring Strokes. This is all a big package deal. You get Mason Williams, which leads to Moe Williams,

which leads to Jamal Crawford, which leads to Tyrant Stoke. So those conspiracy theories are out there. They're in Jamal. Also, Billy, it's not the Adidas Hoop Summit. It's the Nike Hoop Summit. Did I say Adidas Summit? No, I'm saying that's another thing to be excited about. He's going to be in Oregon at the Nike facility with Nike people.

Maybe they can get in his ear and steer him towards Kentucky. See, that just doesn't make a lot of sense if you're all Nike, and then you just pivot to an Adidas school like that. At that event, at that big Nike event. Well, I agree with Myron that he's probably waiting to see what Bill Self was doing. You think so. And if self-retires, obviously, that'd be very good for us. It seems he's waiting for that.

Now, who knows when that decision could come? Well, hopefully he hangs up the toupee, and he is done at Kansas, and that would be a big step for Kentucky. I did like, you know, Will Stein coming from Oregon. Seems like he's going to embrace maybe some throwbacks, maybe some different uniform combos. I've got a little Power K on this morning on the hat that I'm rocking here. What is that?

OVO? Is that the Drake hat? The little OVO here. I mean, help with the kids. I had to go at least a little vintage with the Sutton hat, and now, Ryan, I got the new look. You know, the old timers, they love that power case so much. It's just one time. He would bring that back one time.

They would all be back on board, well, not back on board, but jump on board with Will Stein. Just that one thing could do that could reinvent, reinvuate, reinvite its fan base. What is happening, Mario, with the vocabular. I can't even say vocabulary over here. I said it yesterday. The power cage is coming. Just get ready.

Shannon, you agree? I mean, you're an old-school kind of guy? Do you like the power case stuff? Yeah, I do. I mean, I think when Pope brought back the denim, fans love that. Anything that's nostalgic that reminds you of, like, when you were younger, or some cases like when you were a kid. Your knees didn't hurt.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, when you were younger, I think that's a good thing. So if he brings it back, people will love it, I'm sure. Well, give us call today 859-280-2287 as we extend the KSR pre-show for a couple hours here. I'd like to hear maybe if you have an April Fool's joke that actually did go over well and was successful, even though Drew probably doubts that it ever happened. Maybe back in the date. It's just now everyone on social media, it's like, look at this fake image, look at this fake, when it's just, it's too much.

I told it on the show one other time. I went to Channel 7 in Evansville. You grew up watching Channel 7 in Evansville. Did? Stole all the wheels off the bottom of all the church in the sales department, so they come to work the next morning and there's no wheels on their chairs. Classic. One of my best April Fool's jokes ever. And they hated you, right? They called. be threatened to fire me if I didn't get down there right now and put those wheels back on those chairs. How old was Rod Lemon when he pulled this break? 25, 26. A newsroom where people are stressful and busy.

They're rolling around in their chairs going from computer to computer. No wheels. Unbelievable. I'm just trying to start my day. And Ryan's taking the wheels off of my chairs. And then the next year I took a bunch of scotch tape and taped and taped the door and handled when they couldn't open the door handle. That got me fired too.

Amazing. He's going to remember maybe two or three more of these things done throughout the show. So we'll talk a little bit of that. And much more on the way. Appreciate everybody. Well, letting me be in the driver's seat today. Little Billy's all grown up. That's right.

And Jack and Nick did a great job these last two days. So hopefully here to carry the mantle. We'll take a break and be right back here on Kentucky Sports Radio. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind. Highlights are trending. Opinions are flying. And nobody's telling you exactly what happened.

This is Cliver Taylor the Fourth. 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. This linebacker, this linebacker walks up to me. He goes, A, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What?

Time out. Quarterback on office blue with 42. Hey, Rhett, my mama want you to weigh better. What? Hey, Ms. Parker. Listen to the Clippers show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back to Kentucky Sports Radio. We're live at KS Bar today.

Billy Rutledge, Ryan Lemon, Drew Franklin, Shannon the dude. I thought it was April Fool's Day yesterday when Drew said he was watching Bob Ross and the joy of painting as your new team. TV show. I can't get over how much support I got for that. I thought I would be made fun of all night. I was looking forward to going home and just getting roasted. I think it's 100% positive. It's not 100% positive. I got people on my side support me to the other than I can't believe Drew watches that. Well, everyone that reached out to me, they were telling me their favorite episodes. Some people showed me where they've done Bob Ross paintings. They've gone to the Bob Ross Museum. I've had people say, are you serious about a joy of painting podcast? And I thought, you know what?

I wouldn't, but if we need to do it, we can do it. You and Shannon can do it. Both of you like to watch that crazy show. What's amazing is you look and you see that there's 800 different episodes, which means he painted 800 different pictures, although it seems like every episode I can remember he was essentially painting the same picture. Oh, I'm on season five and he's done the same landscape every time. Yeah, but it's still amazing.

Like it's not any less impressive every time you watch it over and over. Yeah, that's the beauty of it is it always, even though it doesn't look like much of a picture when it starts, it always ends up developing. And, you know, dude and I were talking about it earlier. It'd be sticky figures if you had us painting up there, Drew. We should try it. I'm thinking about doing a video where maybe I sit down on my couch with a nice bourbon

and it's like a split screen and I kind of narrate what I'm watching while I like it. Maybe have someone with me. We'll do kind of a podcast while watching Bob painting. We'll kind of talk over it. You know, Ryan and I once took a cooking class together. Maybe you did like a bit of a painting class, Drew. I don't need a class. I just need to paint.

I just want to sit down and enjoy watching. Paint with Bob Ross. Yes, I mean, he's great, and it's the voice. Happy Trees. It's just so soft. It's hard to stay awake, I'll admit it. But I knocked out another episode last night. I think I'm on season 5, episode three.

I've got about 24 seasons to go, so no spoilers, please. Why are you such a hater? Because it's awful. I can watch like five seconds of it. I go, that's enough. You're just not artistic, right? You've got to open your mind to the art. I can't stay in to watch this.

The joy of painting has a 9.3 out of 10 on IMDB. Probably anything else that has a 9.3 rating. Yeah, it probably do the kids some good today to watch something like that that's not overstimulating, flashing lights, you know. It'd probably go a long way. And, you know, Drew as the next father here of the group, maybe you can get your next or your child on the Bob Ross's train. Oh, she will be watching lots of Bobra.

As I said, I got 20-something seasons to go. Oh, my goodness. I'm sure if she'll be there for a lot of them. We'll go through it together. Didn't they used to have a Bob Ross lunch pail for elementary school kids? Well, yeah. I'm sure they did it. They had a Bob Ross Chia Pet.

I've seen that. It sounds like you like Bob Ross a little more than I do. You're talking about the merch. I'll have to look into the lunchbox. Chia pets, now you're bringing up some good memories. I don't know if I had a Chia Pet, but I really wanted one as a kid. I think they have a Bob Ross Chia Pet, where his hair grows on top of this kid. That's it right there, Ryan.

You should do a Ryan Lemon Chia Pet. Oh, it's been great when you've got your plugs. You could, like, you know, watch your Chia Pet grow with your hair. Nice. I looked it up. There's one at true value. It can be at my front porch by Thursday. So there we go.

Maybe I'll get a Bob Ross. And then bring it in here on the table and we'll watch it grow. Perfect. If we can make a Chia Pet, Ryan Lemon one, I mean, that would be perfect. I would absolutely sell out in seconds. Can I give you two of the TV shows that I'm watching? Yes. I didn't get to chime in that conversation yesterday.

This is a little nerdy. Shannon may laugh at this, but the new Game of Thrones spinoff, a night of the Seven Kingdoms, really good stuff. Really good stuff if you're into that universe or either you guys. I've seen it, loved it. They did a great job. I was a little worried, but I like what they did. They looked at the original Game of Thrones.

They're like, this is way too complicated. The map's too big, too many characters, too many families. I love the show, and I would have to pause it and be like, how is this person really? This new season, they're like, we're going to dumb it down. It's going to be one location and like 10 characters. And I thought it was great. I loved it.

Yeah, really good. And not that many episodes, like six or seven, Ryan. So even if you're not in the Game of Thrones universe, it is good. And then Netflix has this documentary. I don't know if you call it a documentary. It's about the dinosaurs. Have you thrown that on yet with Morgan Freeman narrating? Oh, come on, Ryan.

Anything with him narrating has got to be good, right? Exactly. Yes. I mean, and you just pop yourself on the couch watching an episode of the dinosaurs if you're having a bad day, Ryan, and I think that would get you through it. Well, I started in The Neighbors last night. I watched the first two episodes of The Neighbors, yeah. So I'm kind of hooked already.

Welcome to the show. It's insanity, isn't it? It's crazy. Is there nudity in episode one, or is that? No, no nudity yet. No. I already have my favorite character, so my anxious to see how it plays out. How many episodes did you watch?

Two. Is your favorite character, does he have a hot tub? He has a hot tub in his house? In his house. In his house? In his house. He's got a pool, and he is by far my favorite character in the show. He lives just outside of Indianapolis.

Cook-O-Indiana. It's his dream retirement home. A little indoor hot tub. He and his husband with their, I think those might be wigs. I don't know if that's real hair. Well, he was in the pool. He showed him in the pool. Like his hair may be real.

Husband hair is definitely a wig. Great hair for both of them. Love those guys. I told Matt, because another podcast, we're just going to keep doing podcasts. Matt was like, we have to do a neighbor's podcast.

I said, I'm in, but we're going to Indiana and doing it from that guy's hot tub. Because I have to go see that in the farm across the street on that episode. But another great show. There's a lot out there right now. Yeah.

Well, indoor hot tub is quite the move. I mean, you got to have enough towels after yourself. I've been thinking about buying a sauna. Drew, you ever gotten into that crazy at all? I love a good sauna trip. I don't get to do it often because I don't know where they are in Lexington, but if I'm ever on vacation, one's available, I'm jumping in there. You're going to put one

in your home? Somewhere. Yeah, well, my boss called me. I was in the sauna when he called me and so, like, I just got to avoid this or do it at different times. How much time do you think a week you spend in your sauna or in the club sauna that you go to? Because I've called you before. I'm like, what are you doing? You're like, I'm in the sauna.

You're in the sauna all the time. I mean, probably good 45, 50 minutes a week enough to get some of the benefits. That's not crazy. A week? No, no, no, no. I thought you were going to say a day. No, no, no. I mean, you could do, have some bad health effects with that.

But, I mean, I don't know, Brian, you ever got into the sauna? Hate it. Hate it. Hate every second about going to a sauna. Come on. I've got, you know, asthma and allergy problems. I can't breathe. I go in those things.

I can't breathe. So I can't do it. Yeah, the cold plunge is tough. I can't. I'm not doing that either. It's like a snow. form of torture like so of torture i ain't doing it nope my mom i'm a 60 year old man i'm happy i don't know i don't die a hard attacking a sauna next who cares underwear that's right i don't want

those health benefits no if you put one in your house i i can't i don't know where i put one in my house i will happily come over you're in the hamburg area you got like a like a check-in area i get a little towel just help myself back there take your shoes off before you come into the house you can find your way to the sauna okay uh there's just too many benefits for me to stay on the outside looking in I've seen the light, Drew, and I just, I got to stop doing it in the middle of the day because my bosses keep calling me, and I can't keep getting in this situation. You seem to be big on your health at a young age. You're doing saunas.

I told yesterday you were telling Shannon to stop eating plastic, which I agree, Shannon. You've got to stop eating plastic, but you're about your microplastics now. I feel like you're locked into a healthy lifestyle. Well, I'm trying. Like, I feel like my prime's coming up, Drew. I don't think I've hit my prime yet. I don't know if you guys are past your prime. Your prime was the Haybell Toss Trophy.

That's your prime right there. Stop. I did not peak. When you look back, you're going to say, that's where I peaked in life. In Lebanon, Kentucky that day, throwing a haybill. I did not peak in Lebanon. Now, was that a great all-time sports moment in the Commonwealth Kentucky? Yes, it is. That's why we didn't do it again.

That's why you have a trophy. That's right. Knowledge of the accomplishment. There was so much drama. They had to do a hog-calling contest the next year. We couldn't even do it again. But I don't even know what we were talking about. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, and your health. Yeah. And you'd be on a big health thing. Yeah, I think my product is coming. Like, it's not here yet. Like, you wait until. until I get into the gym for like a year, Mario. You see these biceps come up, and then this prime will be here.

Take your turmeric shots and drink your green juices. You're still doing those? Sanas. Yes. See, Billy, there's a sod of Billy that people don't know. Yeah. His body is his temple, and he's taking good care of it. Protein shakes are next, Ryan.

Celerine carrots. Cellarine carrots on road trips. That's right. Vegetable trays. I mean, come on. Who is this guy? You've got to have a little health to it. If you're just going to co-spy on your ice coffees every morning, Ryan, it might catch up with you.

See, I'm at the point. in my life where life's too short not to be happy. If I want chocolate cake for breakfast, I'm going to have chocolate cake for breakfast. You keep eating like that's going to be shorter. Well, I'm going to be happy. Life's going to be really short. I'm not going to sit in a sauna or taking ice butt plunge or eat green stuff and orange stuff and try to be healthy.

I'm going to be happy. It's my health era right now. I'm just going through it. 859-2802-8-7. We'll take some calls on the next segment. I want to talk about Dan Hurley's parents. Do you saw the video of them? Oh, yes.

Celebrating the crowd. I want to get to them. And much more on the way. It's Billy R. Sports and hosting the show this morning on Kentucky Sports Radio. 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. This song will definitely be played at the wedding coming up. August 8th, the big day for Billy R. Sports. Ryan Lemon and Drew Franklin and Shannon the dude will all be there for the big day. My wedding planner is kind of getting on me today. You know what I need to do? Like what's on the to-do list? You're going to give me nightmares thinking back to those days.

It's a lot. Probably a lot. What's today's agenda? I got to buy a margarita machine. Yeah. You got to buy one. Well, like, rent it. Yeah.

Yeah. We've got to get two industrial-sized margarita machines. We're going to have it out like the little cocktail hour reception area because it's August. We're going to have you outside. Yeah. So what's the next best thing is to have a margarita ready for you? You should just put that on your registry for people to buy one for you. You know?

That's the thing. See, I just feel weird asking for gifts. That's a weird part of the wedding. This is the one time in your life where you can get away with it. Whatever you want, put it on the list. You won't feel weird asking for gifts when you see what you've spent for this event. You won't feel bad at all. On this radio salary, I mean, if we want to go back to great moments in Billy R Sports KSR history,

we were at the fair where I got my paycheck that ended up being $20 for that week, Ryan. Wow, you got $20? $20 as I forgot to insert my hours that. week. That's why it came in like that. I won't buy a very big margarine. You're not kidding about that, Drew. No Harper Hall. For me, did you have any advice for me as I

go through this wedding process as the most recent one to go through it all? My biggest piece of advice would be don't buy the slim version of the pants if you're not slim yourself because you will spend three hours of the night with your ass hanging out for all the guests. You really sold your

ass that night. I did. It did. Taco boxers were a move on wedding day. It was nice my groomsmen. They all offered to give me their pants, but I thought, you know what? I'm just going to rock this. They got a nice breeze back there, but I would definitely recommend going up a size if you like to dance because mine were ripped from belt loop to shoe 10 minutes into the reception, and we had three hours to go. So I would just get the right pants. I enjoyed my tucks.

You got good groomsmen willing to rip the pants off of their own body to give to you. The main thing is we've got to make sure Ryan isn't the star of your wedding because he kind of was a drooze, you know. He was turning tables over and drinks and everything, and he was wearing drinks on his suit by the end of the night. We had to get them out of there as quickly as possible. So, Ryan, we just get to have you reel it back just a little bit. Real it in. I think, yeah, there's two bits of advice I give you.

Okay, please, yeah. Keep an eye out for Nancy Franklin, Drew's mom. Careful. And if they give you cranberry vodka, make sure it's not a cranberry and a double vodka when you order like five or six of them. Those are the best advice I can give you. Five or six of them while the sun is still up. We had a heavy-handed bartender that night.

Oh, yes, Drew did. I've never shared these, but we got our professional photos back. And they mostly just sit in a folder. That's another piece of advice, Billy. Photos, like you think, yeah, of course we need 1,000 photos. Then you get them, and you're like, what am I going to do with 1,000 photos? But the point is, I have so many of Ryan. There might be more of Ryan than of Abby in our photo gallery because he put on that much of a show.

Wow. Well, we've got a photographer, a videographer. We've already taken those steps. Unfortunately. You got to have them. I'm just saying to get them, and it's like, well, what do I do with them now? Yeah. Well, I'll try not to rip my pants.

And, Ryan, I'll try not to drink. I don't think I'm going to drink really much at all on the big day. And we've already decided we're going to do an Irish goodbye. Shannon and I talked about this actually yesterday. Like, we're not going to do the whole thing where you've got to come over and say bye before you leave. It would be like an announcement, like, hey, you know, we're going to do our own thing. We may not say goodbye to every guest before we leave. Is that?

Ryan did that before we even finish the ceremony. All the events, Ryan, Irish, goodbye. Irish goodbye. I think Shan had to put me in an Uber to get me out of there. I had to take them back. I had to tuck them into bed and read them a bedtime story that night. One thing that I got burned on was I severely underestimated how much alcohol my friends could put down. And I had a high bar for them and they even blew past it. I had an option of all you can drink three hours or all you can drink four hours. And I was like, I'll get the three and everybody will go hard.

That fourth hour, they'll be dancing. They'll be distracted. And I'll just pay per drink in that fourth hour. Oh, Lord. That one hour of me paying per drink was more than the first three hours combined. So I backfired a little bit on what I thought my buddies could do at the bar. Happy to swipe the credit card on that bill, but they surprised me. I am hoping, like, everybody dances and has a good time.

There's nothing worse than people afraid to get on the dance floor, but you'll make sure of doing that, Ryan. Like, you'll set the tone of that. Well, that's why I had the cranberry and double vodka to get out there and shake, shake, shake, shake, shake your booty. Are you doing a DJ, like a lot of music? I'm not going to be dancing to. I need to know. You know, we thought about bringing Alice BlueGown out there, but I want Shannon to enjoy himself. I don't want him to like be on the clock.

So the old 98-9 radio personality, Kobe, is actually going to be doing the ceremony and the DJing for us. We got a meeting with him to talk about all the songs that we want him to play and don't want him to play, like the cha-cha slide or the Cupid shuffle. Yeah, please, none of that. That's so as old white people can dance. We need songs like that. You do? Yeah. Just play some Darius. Rucker for Ryan and that'll be enough.

That'll get them out there. Okay. So, Billy, I've got this thing I did for years and it's retired, but I might have to bring it out, bring it back out of retirement for you. But we would, when shout would come on, I'd rally up all the biggest people I could find and we try to throw the groom as high in the air as we possibly can. That's how I ended up at my wedding, literally hanging from the rafters of Harper Hall. They were throwing me so high in the air.

We've had guys so high, we like, wait a second for them to come back on to catch them. They've been hitting chandeliers. It's a big thing. But we retired it at my wedding. But I'm thinking, we could get Billy Airborne pretty easy. Oh, yeah. So make sure a shout is on that playlist. I got good memories of shout going at the Bills game with you guys for NFL cover zero.

That's kind of their thing is playing that song in the stadium. So maybe we can get that done. Well, I have found my wedding gift for Billy and Marissa. What is that? It's a Bob Ross painting. Bob Ross lunchbox. Oh, the lunchbox? Uh-huh.

Well, there it is. They do have a Bob Ross lunchbox. I just bought your wedding present. To add the expensive. We have one of those live painters at the wedding. Oh, yes. Bob Ross? That would be awesome.

Now, if we can get that painter to wear, like, maybe an afro wig, maybe it would be the perfect subway here. She's not listening. It's just us talking. What part of the planning is really like, oh, this has beat me down pretty bad? Because, you know, it is stressful. Yeah. Well, like, I wanted her to kind of, like, take control and just, like, plan the whole thing. That has not been the case.

Like, I've been, I'd have to be involved, Ryan. Yeah. She wants you to be involved. She doesn't want Beta Billy as the wedding planner here. want you to take control of it. I guess, but that's what I'm paying for wedding planners for. I thought they might just take care of that. But, no, I'm very involved.

That's why we're trying to book a margarita machine today and a cigar bar. Two margarita machines. Just running away from that. Yeah. So we got plenty to do. But I'm looking for you guys. Like sharing that happy day with you guys is going to be a highlight of my life, no doubt. Well, it's a big year for us.

Drew's going to be a daddy for the first time, and you're getting married. It's a big couple months for the KSR crew. So I'm really happy and proud of you guys, really. I'm excited about what's getting ready to happen for you. Thank you, buddy. That means a lot. And Drew offered you officiate the wedding yesterday. I don't know if that's going to happen, but I guess you have the certificate.

Yeah, I need to double check. It's been about four years when I got ordained. I don't know what the expiration date on it was. Maybe you need to take a continuing education class? But I've done a couple weddings. If you need me to step in, happy to do it. I can find the certificate somewhere. And if not, I can just go get another one because all I did was put in my email address,

a little bit information and it showed up in minutes. It's actually quite easy, I guess, to get that certificate. it. So we'll keep you on standby. I'll step in if needed. Free of charge. Let's take our first call of the day. 859-280. Cats is the number. Shannon, the dude,

who's up first? All right. We got Wayne on the line. What's up? Hey, guys. You're doing a great job and everything like that. About the Bob Ross and everything, and that Christmas time,

I was in the Dower Tree, I'm a painter, and I was getting some paint brushes. I stepped over to the next line, and I'll step over to the next line, and, And they were selling, like, socks that had, you know, like, snickers on them and stuff like that, and all of a sudden I saw some boxer shorts with Bob Ross's face on it. And I bought them. As you should have.

Well, I bought him from my stock and stuffers for my... I got a 43-year-old son. I got two 16-year-old grandsons. and my brother and then my nephew and everything like that. And when they opened them up, they all flipped out. I mean, they're all. And then my son-in-law, though, he's a big artist and everything like that, and he's got Bob Rosh shirts.

He's just a big Bob Ross fan. But I'm glad Drew likes that. I wish y'all the best of luck. You're doing a fine job while I'm, You always do. I've been listening to you ever since y'all have been on, and we just go ahead and we paint houses and apartments,

and we just go ahead and turn you all up first thing in the morning and listen to you until 11 o'clock. Well, thank you so much. We appreciate the call, and you calling in. I always love hearing from our mail carriers or, I guess, painters outside. People doing actual jobs while we get to sit here and talk about Bob Ross underwear, Drew.

Bob Ross underwear. Bob Ross. After there. All right. You have a good day. Okay. All right. Thank you.

Is that the call of the day? It's the only one so far, so. It's in the conversation. I did not think this Bob Ross thing to take off like it has. I would secretly love a pair of Bob Ross boxer shorts. Okay. It would be awesome. You too can work it out there.

Yeah, that'd be pretty cool. Hang on to his number. But, Ryan, like you were breaking records for stolen bases in the state of Indiana. You didn't have like a pair of lucky underwear or... Well, baseball players, Shannon knows are very superstitious. And so, like, I had my same, uh, undershirt and same socks that I had to wear. Oh, yes.

Did you wash them? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I washed him. But, you know, when you're in college, maybe you don't wash him every after every game. You know, if I had a bad game and didn't get it dirty, it's still okay for the next game. Well, college is high enough level where I think you'd be washing after every game.

No, you know, the laundry was down in the basement of the dorm, and there was, like, there was, like, three washers. And if you didn't get there early, you had to wait until the middle of the night to wash your, clothes. So sometimes you had to just pick and choose when you're going to do your laundry. We saw Malacow Marino do that with the sleeve this year. Remember he didn't washers there? Maybe you washed it just wouldn't come off. But that undershirt he wore it.

Several guys had the big black spot on it. A little superstitious there with Kentucky basketball. Well, you know, when Jack was on, a lot of callers asked about Malachi, you know, and what his future is, is he going to be coming back to Kentucky? I mean, Ryan, I think Mark Pope hasn't penciled it as a big part of the team next year. And what was your percentage chance he said that he stayed? I went up to like about 70 or 80 because I think. I've heard some things that are going to happen to try to ensure Malachi stays here.

You have to keep him, man. The homegrown kid made a big jump from great crossing to a freshman year at UK. He'll make another big jump next year. I mean, he's a guy that's going to play in the NBA eventually. So I think you've got to make every move you can to keep him here, don't you think? Yeah, I think so. And if you're somebody that is going to plan on staying here for a while, I'd advise them to use Stockton Mortgage.

Oh, Stockton, Mortgage. What a great transition. You know, now let's just say you're a young guy and are about to get married. starting a new journey in your life. Next step might be, let's go buy a house. So I know the perfect person you can talk to. I'm just saying you, I mean, you in general. If you're that person, maybe getting married and you're looking to buy a house,

Stockton mortgage can help you every step of the way. You'll get paired up with a loan officer, and it can be a hassle. And it's kind of hard on a first-time home buyer because you've got to, you know, you've got to put in bank statements and 401K statements and pay stubs. There's a lot of tax returns. But Stockton mortgage makes it as easy as possible. hold your hand through the process. So if you're like Billy and Marissa or any other

married couple about to get married, talk to Stockton Mortgage, get that pre-approval over before you go looking to the houses. I looked at houses yesterday. So it's a spring buying season is here, ladies gentlemen. Stock to Mortgage. Ooh. NMLS. 8259, equal housing lender. That ooh was Ryan looking at a picture of himself in a blazer with

sunglasses on, partying it up at Drew's wedding. Yeah, that was a fun time, Drew. I appreciate those cranberry and double vodkas. Your bartender was given out. I found a photo album. I might just share a few throughout the morning. There's a lot of you. Oh, please do. And Mario knows that, you know, sunglasses inside. It's never a good thing, is it? Oh, for me. Okay, you're the one that missed the red carpet that first night, too. That wasn't just me. I was there. That was, that was hard. Three blind mice

trying to find our way through the draft Kings party. We need, it's a good time to take a break. Not only a good time to buy, it's a good time to take a break. We'll be right back here on Kentucky Sports Radio. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind.

Like being an internet famous referee.

We're in the middle of a game. This linebacker walks up to me, he goes, Hey, ref, my mom wants you to wave at her. What? Quarterback on office blue of 42. Hey, rep, my mama want you to wave at her. What? Hey, Ms. Parker.

Listen to the Clippers show on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome back. Kentucky Sports Radio. Wednesday it's Billy Rutledge filling in for Matt Jones Ryan Lemon, Drew Franklin, Shannon the dude alongside. There's a Ryan Lemon Chea pet I just retweeted at Billy R. Sports The how awesome is that? A little generous. Look at that. With the hair, but would love to see that come to fruition. Before we get back to the phones, I wanted to mention Dan Hurley's parents. Have we seen the video of the mom and dad? Oh yes. In the stands. I mean, there's so many great videos that came

from that finish, but the zoom in of Dan Hurley's mom and what she said immediately after that shot went And it's probably my favorite moment from that shot, Drew. Sweet little mom saying some words we can't say on radio. There's a version, great camera work where someone without cutting, they zoom in on Carlos Boozer as the steel happens, his son throwing the, creating the turnover. And then somehow they pan to Mama Hurley immediately for her reaction to the shot going in. And just the contrast of Boozer seeing what's unfolding and how it's going south quickly

and then mom losing her mind and throwing F-bombs around. That was another one of those wild angles we got to take in and join that game and how it went down. Brian, did that make you think at all about maybe Josiah or being a sports dad at all? Oh, there's no doubt. But yeah, Mom Hurley has a little potty mouth, but I think as a parent, you get more nervous sometimes than your kids that are playing. So when they lose like that, but yeah, she even made me blush a little bit.

Yeah, a little bit. I think she's just so, she's just a little small. Sweet little grandma. She's sweet little grandma and she's got a little potty mouth. Holy bleep, bleat. Yeah, you can't even say it. It's very clear what she said. Are you ready for that phase of your life, Drew?

Are you yelling F-Bombs at games? No, probably won't be doing that. Yeah, like when the softball games. Really, when it becomes coach pitch, right? Like you take it off the tee and, like, the balls and strikes matter, Ryan. Like, maybe that's when the emotions can run a little high, and our guy, Drew, maybe be one of these sports parents. I think back to those days, parents, I mean, we really are insane.

We act like a 7 and 8-year-old coach-pitch baseball game is like the 7th game of the World Series. And it's 7- and 8-year-olds playing baseball. Now that I'm older, I look back like we were, we acted in a little idiots. Acted like idiots back then. You're living and dying with a play in the third inning of a game in the middle of the summer. And it's 7- and 8-year-olds playing baseball. And it's like a 14-year-old behind the plate, too, right? He's just getting enough money to go to concession stands.

Yeah, he's getting $25 to call that game, or sitting here yelling at him. I didn't have one of those parents. They were very supportive at every game. They kept their cool. But I grew up with many kids who did that parent in the crowd. We all knew them well. A few ejections in our fifth grade basketball league, and it was usually the same suspect.

Same guy. Yeah. Okay. Well, were you ever that? I know you're supportive, you're yelling, but were you ever the one that was like, all right, it's time to get Ryan out of here? Yeah, shirt off.

I thought those was America. When I was coaching, yes, I got kicked out of a game. I think I told that story one time. I'm kicked out of a 7 and 8-year-old coach-pitch baseball game for arguing with the Empire. He said, don't say another word. And I said, don't tag him. You're out. That's not too bad.

We see people losing their cool all the time here lately. It's pretty embarrassing. Just you didn't do anything that extreme. No, but he warned me, don't say one more word. Of course I did. Now, I can't condone it for the parents, but I do miss baseball managers when they would come out, Shannon, and, like, kick dirt on the plate. Oh, yeah.

Like Lou Pinella would go out there. I thought we were going to get one of those last night. I don't know if you watch the Reds Pirates game, but you don't see like a manager get ejected in baseball now because of all the reviews and everything. But there was a check swing where the Reds player swung any more than what he did. He probably would have hit a home run. They called it not a swing.

And the Pirates managers went out there and lost his mind. But that's something I always loved about watching Braves games. Bobby Cox holds the record for the manager who's been thrown out the most out of any manager in Major League Baseball history. You really don't get those moments anymore because of the replays. You're right. You don't get the managers going out there picking the base up and throwing it across the field, Ryan. The greatest one ever is the Braves, like, double A manager for years ago.

Do you remember this one where he gets down and starts doing the Army crawl up to the end? He gets the Rosenbag and he throws it like a grenade. If somebody can find that, we need to retweet that one. One of the greatest meltdowns ever, too, happened here in Lexington. It was an opposing manager, the guy that threw the base, picked the base up, and through the base and covered up the home play with dirt. Yep. That was in Lexington. Yeah, the Braves manager. I think he was

Phillop Wellman was his name. That's the all-time group. He's doing the army crawl. He bites. He bites off the bag like it's a grenade and just launches it. Legendary. Did you all see the... It's escaping me in the Empire's name because I don't keep up with that closely, but it was at the Reds

game and they just kept challenging him. Oh, yes. Kept being wrong. It was like the loudest the crowd got all night. Back-to-back challenges he got wrong. I think he went 0-4-7. Well, the ABS system can really embarrass some of these umpires now, right? Like, I think one of them was a strike right down the middle, and they had to challenge it, and you have to wait that minute and, like, just see it basted and all its glory. But Drew's like every challenge they made against him.

He was like 0 for 7 in his calls. And the crowd was going crazy each time, more so than it'd be a home run. I mean, that was like the biggest parts of the night. Well, in a while it'll be all robot umps, but we still got the other human. women's back there for now. 859, 2802-287. Unfortunately, the heartbreak's coming up. So we will take most of these calls on the other side of the break.

All right. You know, we're going to the moon today, Ryan? Going around the moon, right? Going around the moon. Like 10 guys getting in a vehicle and they're going to drive around the moon. Well, yeah, vehicle as in rocket ship. But, yeah, it will be launching today. I want to talk a little bit about that on the other side of the break.

And, you know, I'm having a good time with you guys. You're doing a great job, young, Billy. Thank you, guys. Appreciate that. Survived one hour. That's right. And I still got to talk about Mari. over here sitting sitting down.

We'll get you on here, Mario. We'll take a break. Be right back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Hour two coming up next. Another podcast from some SNL, late night comedy guy, not quite.

Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band

with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and friends on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Last night, a blown call changed a game. This morning, the internet lost its mind, and nobody's telling you exactly what happened. That's where Sports Slice comes in.
