I'm, Matthew, I'm not really acknowledging this birthday. Why not? You're what, 58? Oh, this is a big one. This is a big number today, so I'm not really.

I know. You're 60, right? Get rid of that 50. 60, man, that's a big number. Golly. 60 years old. That does feel like a big number. It is a big number.

And I remember when my parents turned 60, I think, oh, goodness. They've got one foot in the grave. Now, here I am. I'm staring it right in a face. I can't even say the words, Matt, 60 years old. 60 years old. That's a very, that's still young. You are, what would you say, Drew?

Halfway to 120. That's right. You know, you don't know. People may live to 120. That could be you here soon. Especially with your diet. Yeah, your diet's great. Someone decorated the studio for him, man.

It looks nice. No, it's nice. We didn't do it. Oh, there's banners. There's little streamers. Who decorated it? I believe it was the sales staff here. But see, that shows, for people who don't know, that shows what a wonderful person, Ryan.

The sales staff comes in and decorates it. Now, are they like traditional old people birthday things? Is it like skull and crossbones? and all that. No, it looks like just something they bought at the dollar store on the way in today. Oh, that's not very nice. They decorate for you and you're just going to say it looks like something from the dollar store?

Well, it's very, very sweet. And, dude, I know I'm very lucky. I have a great family. I've got these awesome friends, this awesome job. I work with you guys every day. I got a wonderful lady friend that takes care of me and that I adore. Shannon, he's acknowledging the lady friend. Like he sometimes downplays that.

Right. Yeah. Maybe contemplating at 60, you're starting to accept you have a lady friend, right? I love her to death and want to spend the rest of my life with her, no doubt. I think that's the first time we've said that. Go and propose to her over the radio. Hold on just a second. Let's write down the memorable things here.

He just said he loves the lady friend. Mm-hmm. Have you said that to her before? Oh, sure. Yeah, definitely, definitely. Yeah, we're, we've crossed that path. But you guys, too, man, you guys make life fun. And that's what it's all about.

So even at 60 years old, I still feel like I'm very, very lucky. So 60 years old. 60. But did, like, so it did hit your, there was something about changing the five to a six. Oh, I can't think about it too much. I'll start crying. I mean, this is a big one. No, cry.

You're good at that. No, this is a big one. This is a big day. It's like, I'm not really acknowledging it. We're going out for dinner tonight, and that's going to be about it. It's tough, man. Drew, he both says he's not acknowledging, but then he's not. What makes it tough?

I don't understand. I think just that realization that, like Billy was standing here, Billy was 30 years old, and he said, Ryan, did they have black and white TV when you were little? I'm like, yes, I had to grow up watching black and white TV. Guess what? We didn't have microwave. We didn't have cordless telephones back in the day.

Mario asked if there were cars. Yeah, Mario, do we have cars? No, he did. Mario didn't ask if they were cars. Yes, he did. Yes, he did. Were there cars? I like that.

Well, but you should, I mean, I remember when you turned 50. Right. You came out to the birthday party. I remember when you turned 50. But it does, I will say 60 is when you start thinking, like, Shannon, Drew, that's when you start thinking maybe you add senior to him. his status, right? He can be seniors because you're five years away from what? Social Security, AARP? I got a letter in the mail this week that I'm eligible for retirement. I could just take

retirement now. That just like hit me with a ton of bricks. Like, are you kidding? I'm that old. Yes. You get to this age, Matt, and you realize you only have 20, 25 years left. No, not you. We got at least 30 or 35. I'll tell you what, though, for your 60th birthday, over the course of our show throughout history at various moments, people have like, you know, called in or like somebody will show up. Well, for your 60th birthday, your mom is on the phone. Wow. This is Ryan Limmons' mother. Hello there. And dad. Oh, and both. Okay. Hi. Hey, we just wanted to wish Ryan a happy 60th birthday. Well, of course, Ryan, speak to your parents. I'm not getting in the, I'm not letting you talk to your parents.

Don't make me be the middle person. I guess that makes you guys really, really old. If you have a son that's 60 years old and you've been married now for 61 years, that's pretty amazing. Yeah, well, we still love you though, son. Even though you were part of a sort of a pain to raise. Oh, was he a pain to raise? Why was he a pain to raise? We had to appreciate the call, Shannon.

Can we appreciate this call? No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. No, no, no. Why was he a pain to raise? No. He was a delight to raise, really. He was just hyper and always on the move and laughing and talking.

And he was just active. Imagine that. Mischievous. One of dad's best basketball players. There you go. Yeah, he says that a lot. Was he a good basketball player he claims to have been all the time? Yes, he was.

He still holds the assistant. This record and almost whole the most fouls made too, but he didn't quite make that. I can totally see him be mischievous and fouling all the time. Well, do you all have like a birthday message for your son? Just enjoy life, enjoy every day and be a good person to everybody else like you are and be happy. And dad? Well, that's about the same. Mom and I, very, very appreciative of him.

He's been a good boy all of his life. And I'm very proud, very proud of him. And we like to listen to you guys' show every day. And mom's got a present for him. Yes, a very special present for his 60th birthday. So when we come up there, I will bring it with us. Well, that's very sweet. Ryan, do you have a message to your parents here on the 60th?

I appreciate it. I am the way I am because of you guys. Well, thanks, son. You're a good guy. We love you so much. Well, thank you very much for calling in. We appreciate it. And nice to see you all, and we'll see you in Lexington soon. You bet you. Have a good day, guys. Have a good day. All right. There you go. That was very sweet. And Drew, odds on Ryan crying during the first segment.

I think the ticket just hit right there. It did it. But that was sweet for them to call in and wish their young boy a happy birthday today. It's, you know, mom had me when she was 19 years old. That's really sweet. Are you okay? I'll let him find his way there, Drew, in 60 years. I think a lot of people would listen to this show.

And if you had never seen us, Drew, you would. would think he was the youngest of the group, and yet he still, he has got over a decade on all of us. Yeah, this morning I tweeted four pictures of him, but I had 50 to choose from. And honestly, I think his shirt off was in 48 of the 50. And, you know, I just, when we all get to 60, I hope we're full of energy and fun and youthful as Ryan. Have you got to seen the Corey Price picture of Ryan? It is the absolute best.

Let me see which one it was. Okay. I tweeted it there if you want to try to find. But it is, it's got to be a grade school picture of him. Oh, I've seen that one with his big glasses. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, that is quite, you are, that is, why do you have Goldilocks haircut right there? I think what you're trying to say is lady killer at that age. He looks like a girl in Little House of the Prayer. A little Mary Engel. That's right. It kind of does. He's one of the little women. Yeah.

That's exactly what he looks like. Well, happy birthday. Thanks, man. I appreciate it. That's a lot. It's a big number. I hope everybody, everybody, if you get a chance, you know, at Ryan Lemon on Twitter, or if you want to text his phone number, Drew, I'm sure he would love to have birthday text today, right?

Yeah, should we give it out? It's been so long. I don't know if we need to do that. I think, although I still think one of these days, we should do that again. 859-280-22-87. It's Ask Anything Wednesday last night. Drew, I had, or actually anything, Tuesday, I had something I've never had, never done once in my life.

And I wanted to see, have you all ever eaten at a kosher restaurant? I don't think that I have. I know I haven't. Chosher, no, no. I don't have any of those in Bullitt County. So are you there? Yeah, we're here. We got you.

Is everybody there? Yeah. Yes, okay. I lost you all for a second. Sorry. I have a friend who, from my fellowship, who does only kosher stuff. So like he can't eat. And I don't even know, do you, what is kosher?

It's like you can't put the milk. I was going to ask you, what does it mean to be kosher? I don't really know. It's something to do with milk and eggs and meat or something. Or what is it, Shannon? Do you know? I don't know. I thought it was like blessed food or something.

No? I don't know. Maybe. I'm not sure. But like it limits what you can eat, right? I think it's something about how it's, it's like made, right? So anyway, I'd never had food and practices. The main rules forbid pork and shellfish and require specific ban mixing meat and dairy together.

Okay. I know I've never had it. What is in what can you eat? I don't think they don't have one in Lexington, do they? Not that I'm aware of. Is there a kosher restaurant even in? Kentucky? I bet there is. In Kentucky, I'm sure there's got to be one in the state. But there aren't a lot of Jewish people in Kentucky, are there? Like, would there be enough to have a

restaurant? I'm going to say Louisville has one somewhere. But that'd be... Okay, well, somebody will know. Anyway, point being I'd never eaten at one. Last night, I went to one. It was called Malka, and it was amazing. It was like, I wouldn't have known, Drew, that it was kosher. It was just really good food. But it was great. But when I walked in, they could clearly tell like a Gentile is here. They're a rookie.

Well, because they would all come up to me and be like, how's it going? Are you lost? Yeah. They're kind of like, is everything good? Are you happy? So that was a unique experience. You and I drew like to try different food. I had never eaten a kosher meal until last night.

So that was a good first time. I would have happily tried that out with you. I like trying new things, new places. Did you sit next to Sean Hannity? Did you all run into each other again? Sean Hannity was not there. There were a lot of people wearing the little, what do you call it? Yamaka.

Yamaka. On their head, I didn't have one of those. But it was very, very good foods. So that was a unique experience. So you should try it sometime, Ryan, maybe for your 60th birthday. I got to, you've kind of opened up my doors to a lot of foods. Like, as a matter of fact, I even had pot pad tie noodles because... Pot pad tie.

Yeah, those are pot pad tie. Very good food. Something like that. But I only tried it because you had me try it one other time and I liked it. So maybe this is something good. Besides American food. Foreign food. What do you like?

You like Mexican, right? I love Mexican food. You like Italian, I would presume. I love Italian. Chinese food. So you like Chinese food? Yes. So any other ethnic food you like?

German food. You know, I grew up next to a big German community in Jasper. So I love a German food. I see, I hate German food. What German food do you like? German fried potatoes. I just want a big bowl of them like a bowl of cereal and eat them. But they're German fried.

What makes them German fried? Because it put it in front of the word fried, German, German fried. Okay. So you just like fried potatoes. A lot of onions and pepper. I think they, yeah, makes it a German fried potatoes. Anything else? That's pretty much it.

Unless what you've taken us to some of these restaurants on the road somewhere. You seem to like Indian food when we went in Seattle. You were hesitant. That's right. It seems like you liked Indian food. Oh, that's right. You ordered like six different appetizer type things. And I tried all of them.

And they were all very good. I forgot about that. You're right. You're coming around. Coming around a little bit. I think you would like Indian food if you tried more of it. 859-280-2287. We're going to talk Mark Mitchell and the NCAA

Will the pastos survive the first bite? Will the lunchbox come home empty, half full, or come home at all?

Text machine, lots of happy birthdays to Ryan Lemon. One person writes, Matt, you can't get two up. you're going to be 50 soon. Yeah, I don't like to think about it. It actually has like that has hit me. I think that's going to be the one because when I was 40, I didn't really feel 40. I still felt like I was, you know, in my 30s. But I feel in my 40s now, but I think 50 will hit me. I do because I remember

when my parents got to be 50. And I remember through how old I thought they were. I remember Larry's 50th birthday and being like, well, Not going to seem much longer. That's the way I feel about this 60. And that was like 30, you know, 38 years ago or whatever. People looked a lot older though back then too. Like people in their 50s don't look like people in their 50s from the 70s. Yeah, I think that's, to some extent I think that's true.

But I also, so I do think that one will hit me. But I got at least two years. 60 though, Ryan, that does seem like a whole other thing. Yeah, when I turned 50, like you said, you were there at my birthday party. It was a celebration. I was happy. I didn't bother me. You shut down the neighborhood.

We did shut down the neighborhood. Cut off the street. That was a fun party, actually. This one bothers me. This is like this 60 for some reason is like, okay, I am now officially old. I can't act stupid anymore. But you also should have some celebrate. You've had a tough few months and you've gotten through it.

And I was just saying the other day to somebody that I feel like it was really like last week or in the last two weeks. I feel like Ryan has seemed like he's 100. percent back. And so I do think you should like feel good about that, right? Well, that's why I said. I, I am very lucky because of the thing I just went through and my parents are still healthy and alive. You guys make it fun to come to work every single day. I do feel lucky. But my goodness, 60 years old. I mean, give me a. That's true. One person writes, Matt, what are your and Drew's favorite kinds of ethnic food? For me, it's anything spicy. I really. love Indian food, number one, then probably like Caribbean-esque food, you know, like

jerk chicken or things in that realm. And then I really like Mexican food. I mean, I like all kinds of food except I hate like German, Dutch, all that fried, just that that I don't really enjoy. But pretty much anything else, I'm in. And the hot and the spicier, the better for me. What about you, Drew? Yeah, I could eat about everything. But Mexican food, I could eat for every meal. I could wake up. I could eat it for breakfast. I could eat it for lunch. I could eat it for dinner.

And then I could do it again every day for the rest of my life. So I think Mexican would be the leader there. Remember when Max took us to an Australia restaurant? It was good. Pyes. Yeah. Was that in Denver? Yeah, it was good.

But I wouldn't want to eat that regularly. That's heavy too. They were good. Especially in the summer. They said they'd get out of the ocean and go eat a big chicken pot pie, bare-handed. Yeah. I don't know if they'd get behind that.

People don't know. Think of a chicken pot pie. They eat that, hold it in their hand, almost like a burger. And it's really, to me, really, really heavy. All right, let's talk about Mark Mitchell for a second, Drew. All right, so here's where we are. Yesterday, there's a lot of attention given yesterday to an Ohio court that had allowed players like Mark Mitchell to play. The NCAA got them to put a stay on that ruling. So basically all those people, that got eligible to play in Ohio, whether that was in Ohio State or whatever, right now that's on hold. Shouldn't really affect the Kentucky decision. The Ohio state law that has no precedential value over Kentucky anyway. It's the first time though the NCAA's had something go right for them in these cases. They had lost everything. And they didn't reverse the Ohio

decision. They just put it on hold while the appellate court looked at it. So first time the NCAAs kind of won something. I don't really think that'll have a much of an effect on the Kentucky one, but it could. We'll see. We're also waiting for the appeal in Colorado. Remember, the Colorado case in some ways is one of the big ones, because if the Colorado one allows a lot of people to play, but it doesn't allow Mitchell. Mitchell needs this Kentucky court to make a decision. And we will know Drew by Friday, and hopefully it will be good news. And then I'm sure they will appeal it. and we'll see what happens in the interim. And today they have to tell this afternoon to submit their final stuff in writing.

Their replies do today, yes. I know, you know, with Big Z we learned school, we don't even pretend anymore with that. But they do need to act in a hurry in here if you are trying to line it up with the semester and get them started with the team. So hopefully this goes quickly, even though there will probably be another phase after whatever is decided by Friday also. And remember there's football players too. Yeah, that's true. So a guy asked me a question, does Alex Safari need this ruling here to be eligible?

Or can he file a petition somewhere else? So it's odd. For Mark Mitchell to play, the Kentucky case has to go is what? For Alex Safari to play, it's the Colorado case. And as of today, Alex Safari can play. So when you're following this in the news, if the Colorado case gets reversed, then that's when Alex Safari can't play. And now he has to see what happens with the Kentucky one. So the Kentucky one could actually help both of them, even though Alex Safari is not named, but we'll see.

It also, the Kentucky case might say, we're only helping these people that are named. So there's a lot of different ways it can go. The person who has the best chance, Ryan, is Alex Safari. I think Kentucky realizes that, and I think that's why they're allowing him to practice. Yeah, they must feel pretty good about it. They wouldn't let him on the practice field working out with the team because before they were just standing on the sidelines watching. But Mark Mitchell, what happened in Ohio, is a similar case to what Mark Mitchell has.

So yesterday's news, even though it doesn't affect him directly, you know, it has kind of a small effect on him. I think that would be fair to say. Who's next? Let's go to Cindy. Cindy, go ahead, Cindy. Hey, thanks for taking me. taking my call, happy birthday, Ryan. Let me tell you, it only gets better.

I do have a serious, a serious question. Okay. This coming Friday night in my hometown, Butler County, Morgantown, Kentucky, my basketball team will be inducted into the Sports Hall of Fame. Oh, congrats. I want to know. Is it, thank you, is it appropriate for me to do the L's down?

Yes. I'll hang up and listen. I would say yes, Drew, right? Of course, it's always appropriate to do L's down. Do it whenever you want. Especially if you're in a team photo, it's not going to be hung up forever in the school gym. Wouldn't you want to be the one person giving Ls down in that photo?

I love it. Like it makes you stick out. You know, it's not like you're doing anything negative to the school or your teammates. Let me tell you something. If you take your high school Hall of Fame team photo and you have L's down, that one's going to end up on KSR. I'm just going to, that will be a legendary one. So yes, Stevie.

Do it. We'll take a break. Be right back. KSR. 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. Yeah, that's what we're going to be. Finding, ride in the club. Bottle full of dub. Is that what he says? It's a bottle full of bub. Oh, not dub. Like bubbles.

Yeah, like, well, that's what I meant. Yeah. I didn't mean. I was correcting, Shannon, who said Dub during the birth. 59-280-22.87. What person says, Matt, German potato salad is great. Oh, it is. Yeah, but that's not really German.

Like, that's not really German food. We call things things, like, in Germany, they don't just serve that, right? You get that at Kroger. Yeah, but they make their hot German potato salad in Germany. But don't we usually, like, what we do is, like, cold, isn't it? No, the true German potato side, it's warm. It's heated up. But do you get that here? You can get it at restaurants and stuff.

Okay. German restaurants. Yeah. I think a lot of things that we call like Mexican food, Drew, are like Tex-Mex. But then Mexican food is also really good, but it's just a little different than what you get at, say, you know, El Grande or whatever in Barber Bowl. Yeah, the queso, we're getting at our neighborhood restaurants. throughout Kentucky. That's not very common. They don't really have Koso. Do you remember we stopped at an authentic Mexican restaurant?

I think we were in like Albuquerque, New Mexico. Yes. And one of you asked for that and they looked at you like. I asked for Koso and I thought they were going to shoot me. Yeah, they were not. They didn't know what you were talking about. Yeah. They, uh, there is not a kosher restaurant in Kentucky. There is one in Cincinnati, apparently.

So there you go. If you ever want to try one. 859-280-2-80-22. Did you all like Drew the video? I don't know why I liked it so much, but the video of us power washing Commonwealth Stadium? Oh, yeah. I love those power washing videos. So do I.

They're mesmerizing. I'm glad you said that. Why do we like that? I don't know. I don't know. I do really like it. I love a video of power washing or I'll tell you another one. Shannon, when people unclogged drains.

Do you like that? Yeah. Let me ask you, have you ever unclogged a drain? or power washed anything. I have unclogged a drain. Yeah. Like a shower or something like that. Yeah.

And I do kind of like it. It's gross. But like when it happens, you feel such a sense of accomplishment. There's something very satisfying when you pull that big clump of hair out and all the water sucks down the drain. Like, yes. I got it. Why is that so good? Like, Drew, why do we like watching?

Because I would have paid for a live stream of them cleaning that state. Well, just this past weekend, we were power washing our house, and Abby was getting like these cushions on the porch. And I found myself just staring out the window. I probably stood there for 30 minutes without moving, just watching her power wash. Why do you think that? Wait a minute. Oh, you made her power wash and you just watched? Yeah, I was just measuring.

I was supposed to be doing other things. I just got caught staring at it. Hey, honey. But you can't look away. But you can't look away. No, but you can't look away. I don't know what it is about power. I can sit there and watch it forever.

There's something magical about watching the dirt just disappear. But it really is. And they sent out that still frame picture of them doing it. And I thought to myself, why not? I love a live stream of you all power washing that stadium. First of all, they needed it. It needed it. And you could see in the picture how much it needed it.

I said on this show, like not even two weeks ago that they should power wash stadium. Hope I didn't bully him into it. I believe you did. Well, good. You needed to. Have you ever seen the Australian guy, Shannon? that does the clogs? No.

Is it on TikTok or something? You got to see this guy. I heard Kate McKinnon on Amy Pollard show talking about it. He's like Australian. He's like, Crikey! Look at this clog. That's a terrible Australian accent.

But he like, and he does it and he talks to it. He's like, come out of there. And then he gets it and he's so happy. I was going to say, I've got a pressure washer and I've got some gutters that need to be pressure washed. I can do a live stream. Like, do you want to pay me like five bucks? to watch my live stream of me doing it, I'll do it for you. You know, if it was, if you're, if you're,

do the driveway, it's better. Yeah. If your thing's really dirty, I'll watch. Yeah. Okay. That's, don't take that. I'm saving that clip. Don't do.

Well, I'm glad they did it. The stadium looks so much better, Ryan, with it power wash. I think people, I think people are going to walk in. They haven't done, like, huge renovations, but I think people are going to walk in, and it's going to feel like Commonwealth Stadium is almost so fresh and so clean. clean clean. Yeah, because they've added, you know, the new seats, the chairback seats, and now they have a polish it up a little bit, ready to go for opening day. When we were there for media day, we all come in like, man, this is beautiful.

It's a beautiful. It felt more, it did feel more beautiful. And I'm not really sure why. Maybe it was just sunny or whatever, but it did, Drew, didn't you think? Yeah, maybe this is our new tradition. We're always looking for new things. Maybe it like start with fourth quarter, just roll it out of 50 and just start to spray it by the water. We'll just really get into our pressure washing. We're all getting old. That's it. Listen, I'm not going to, I'm not apologizing.

I think the pressure washing is entertaining. Who's next? Jerry. Jerry, go ahead, Jerry. Hey, Matt. First, happy birthday, Ryan, I turned 60 a couple months ago, too. I feel you. Welcome to the club.

Yeah. But Matt was asked me last week about what I think about UK, how many games you're going to win this fall. I'm still stuck on like three or four. We'll see how things go. Like I said, there's nothing to. that Stein's not doing that he could do. But he's just got so much to overcome.

And he's overcome a lot of good stuff against that schedule. It's just every one of those games, I can give you a reason why I could take you about to have a chance, and I can give you a reason why they're going to lose. And so we'll see. If he would six games, he's a C.C. coach the year. So here's what's interesting. We play, so the AP top 25 came out.

Appreciate the call you. And we are tied with Arkansas and Texas. for playing the most top 25 teams. If we play seven top 25 teams. So first of all, just to get to a bowl game, a bowl game, you're going to have to beat at least one top 25 teams. Maybe even two, if you assume you might lose one of the others.

But what's interesting to me is you play seven top 25 teams, including six in the SEC. But I was looking at the schedule. we play of the top eight teams in the SEC, we play six of them. But oddly, we don't play the top two teams. So we play teams three through eight. But we don't play Georgia in Texas. So it's weird.

We're going to be not favored in all of those games. But Drew, the true powers where you're like, well, we can't beat them, we actually don't play those teams. So that's why you could make a case that you could potentially steal any of. Yeah, especially on the back end. I mean, Missouri was ranked just outside the top 25, Florida, too. I mean, they're good teams, but there's a chance that they don't pan out. And you get to the back end, and maybe you've turned things around, and you're playing well.

You could even, I don't know if you'd be favored in those games, but they look a lot easier than they do now. In Florida, I think was 27th in the poll. And we had South Carolina right behind them out of the top 30. I think it was nine, maybe even up to 10 teams that were playing in the top 30 of teams that just missed the poll. Yeah, it is. We play 10 of the top 32. That's insane.

That's crazy. And there'll be double-digit underdogs in what out of those seven top 25 teams. How many times we're going to be a double-digit underdog? But you're saying there's a chance. Saying there's a chance. There's a chance. But one thing that's different is normally we look at the schedule. and we have like three games where we say no shot.

How many games this year do you say no shot? Is there any game on the schedule where you're like no shot? Maybe at A&M. At A&M. Maybe. That's the one. But I think any of the other ones you could make a case for. Now, luckily I'm not in studio for Mario to tape to video this and put on the

internet. Because I don't want this one on the internet, Shannon. Right. But I will say it. I think we only, I think we win five games. I think we likely go five and seven. That's my official stance. But outside of the A&M game,

I think you can make a case for winning any of the games. What do you think is the second hardest game? At Oklahoma. At Oklahoma. At Oklahoma. At Oklahoma. If you're ranking them, I'd say in terms of hard games at A&M is first at Oklahoma's second LSU at home is third at Tennessee you should be high on that list at Tennessee's fourth at home Bama's fifth how can isn't it crazy that

Bama is the fifth hardest game like normally that would be the hardest game right but that's probably how it rank them right now who's next Michael Michael go ahead Michael good morning fellow good to talk to you um first of all happy birthday to you Ryan Thank you, sir. Don't look at it. Don't look at it as 60. Just look at it as 21 with 39 years of experience. I haven't asked anything question for Matt specifically.

That's okay. Super off topic. Go for it. You have mentioned or referenced your buddies that aren't on the show that you hang out with, like Turkey Hunter, tall, hubby. So the question I have is kind of a two-parter. One, if you've answered this, I'm sorry. I've just always been curious

One, how did you Where did those nicknames come from? Yeah. And two, when they're all hanging out together, what is their nickname for you? I don't think they have a nickname for me. Do they have a nickname? I don't think they do, do they?

You're around that group a lot. I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think they're just mad. Tall is his nickname is because he's tall. He's 6'6. Hubby, they started calling him that before I knew him, so I don't really know. And then the turkey hunter is kind of a joke because he went turkey hunting one time,

and people wouldn't stop asking him about it. And he needed a fake name to write on KSR in the early days. So he just took the name of Turkey Hunter. But in real life, I don't call him that. But that's what I use his name on the show. All of those people are people I went to college with or met right. out of college. I've basically kept the same group of friends like my whole life. There have been very few additions, Drew, Ryan, this group, Perrin, and that's about it. I tend to,

I tend to not add a significant number of like new friends. Awesome. I appreciate to call. I've always be curious. Yeah, I mean, but you know, when you get to be an adult, making friends Shannon you're not married making friends as an adult is a different thing a lot of people that make friends as an adult they're couple friends right and all the friends that I had

can't hang out because now they're married and have kids yeah so a lot of friends and all those people I mention I'm friends with their wives but like most of the people that you meet as adult you meet them either A as couples or B because your kids are friends right yeah right why don't have kids and I don't have kids

have a couple friends. So then it's work or that's about it. I mean, where else would you need anybody? It's weird to go up to a stranger and go, do you want to be friends? See, for me, I've tended to keep the people I've known for a long time. Sourcing your food locally makes a lot of sense.

Welcome back, Tucky Sports Radio. Uh, text machine full of things about

cleaning and clogging. 772, 7754. One person writes, Matt, the clog hog is $100 and the best $100 you'd ever spend. I do like the name of it, Drew. The clog hog. I had to undo a clog last night. It's funny we're talking about this.

It's an awesome name. Clog hog. Yeah. Did you use the clog hog, Ryan? No, I used a pair of needle nose pliers. You are the clog hog. 60th birthday to the clog hog. Ryan Limit. One person writes, Matt, I do the same thing as you, but with mowing grass.

I love to watch people cut tall grass. Ryan, I'm kind of like that too. If you're driving like on the interstate and they're cutting like the median or whatever, I kind of like if it's really tall and then you see it all of a sudden mode. Is that strange? Not really strange, but why are our brains so amazed by, all of a sudden the grass is gone. The dirt is gone.

It's got to be something. Because I can't be the only person that, am I, for you all, do you enjoy any of these things I'm talking about? You just think it's odd. I think it's odd. Okay. I don't like watching anybody that's log a drain. It doesn't do anything for me.

But like, you know, it's like the window washers. You just kind of trance, wash, watched and washed the windows. You liked it when Abby washed in like a Phoebe Kates fast times at Richmond. Yeah. I was inside with my cup of coffee, washing out the window and the air conditioning. I think it was 90 degrees outside. All right.

For his birthday, I'm letting Ryan do a top 10 list. Okay. This is right. Now, Mario, you film this. This is a good TikTok content. Ryan Lemon is a UK football historian, sort of, as we saw in the trivia game a couple weeks ago. I decided to have Ryan. This is using only Ryan's criteria.

Drew, no other criteria. Top 10 quarterbacks in UK history. Okay. I'm not even going to argue with it. This is for your birthday. Okay. Based on whatever criteria you want, you just have to explain it. Who are the top 10 quarterbacks in UK football history, starting at number 10.

Go right. Number 10, I'm going with Freddie Maggard. Because he played on some really bad teams. He played when he was hurt, just a tough leadership. He was also a punter. So at number 10, I have to put our guy, Freddie Maggard. All right. Number nine, George Blanda.

He was Bear Bryant's like first quarterback before Babe Prilly got here, broke all the records. And he went on to fame as a kicker in the NFL, but when he was at Kentucky, he was a star quarterback. He's number nine. That seems low. Why not? Well, you'll see when you see who my other people are.

Okay. Fair enough. Keep going. Number eight, Bill Rand. Mansdale, best quarterback of the Jerry Claiborne era, set all the passing records. Like when he left, when he graduated, he owned like every single passing record, took him to the Peach Bowl win and just kind of a forgotten about quarterback that was a star in the 80s. Okay, seven.

Stephen Johnson. I think he had back-to-back seven and five seasons, just tough, gritty, came as the UK as a backup for Drew Barker. He ended up being the starter. Let him to back-to-back seven and five seasons. I've got him at number seven. Drew, Stephen Johnson over an NFL Hall of Famer. It's a big time.

It's Ron's List, though. It's Ryan's List. Who am I to argue? What's number six? Terry Wilson. I think the stat is... Terry Wilson, number six. Yeah, I think the stat is he has the highest winning percentage of games started as

quarterback. But he was here for two years, a couple ten win seasons. so I got Terry Wilson. Also, I think there's a stat, Matt, that he was like the only quarterback to have 3,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards. I did not see this list coming, and I can think of six people for five spots.

So let's see what you do. What's number five? Andre Woodson. Just, you know, kind of the glory days. Best quarterback of the Rich Brooks era had the record for most completed passes, I think in the nation at one time. didn't get a fair shake in the NFL,

but Andre Woodson was a stud when he was here during that era. All right. Number four. Derek Ramsey. Best quarterback of the 70s of the Frank Kersey era, led them to the big win over Penn State. They were nationally ranked. Went on to the NFL as a tight end, but in Kentucky, he was a quarterback,

and he was the leader in the workhorse of those great Frank Kersey teams. Number three. Jared Lorenzen, round mound, the touchdown. Pillsbury Throwboy. Set like all, not just UK records. not just SEC records, national records for passing. It didn't win a ton of games, but Jerry Lorenzen as a quarterback was a human highlight real.

Of course, we all love Jared and miss him very dearly. Number two. Tim Couch. Number one draft pick, his season was only seven and five, but what he did here during that, really, that one miracle season has made him like the only rock star in UK football history, in my opinion. Tim Couch is number two. Babe Perilli Two-time All-American Two-time All-American

When he was here under Bell Bryant Set all the passing records Just consensus, all-SEC Went on to great fame in the NFL He is the number one quarterback to ever play at Kentucky No one I know would have had Babe Pirelli number one They don't know their UK football All right, no Will Levis Drew

Nope No dusty Bonner No he was high honorable mention High honorable mention. I had to put Freddie at number 10. Stephen Johnson and Terry Wilson. A head of Willis and Dusty Bonner, Drew. Big day for Terry Wilson.

Terry Wilson number six. Highest winning percentage of any starting quarterback in UK history. Ryan Levitton. That's a great list. We'll post it. Wow. Post it, Mario. Our two.
