Ask anything Tuesday. We're going to do it one day early. I've got a bunch of topics. But I don't, like, there's nothing that's like show wide. So I feel like it would be good to take questions. We may do it tomorrow too. But ask anything Tuesday, 859, 280, 2287. A Vision Auto Glass text machine, 772-745254 in this edition, sponsored by the T.J.

Smith Law Office. If you call T.J., he'll make them pay. Shannon, you just missed a great conversation with Ryan, where he goes, yesterday the front nine took forever. Yeah. Took four hours. He was like, it didn't end until 3.30. I was like, what started at 12.30.

Yeah, that would be three hours. And he goes, that's four hours. And I was like, no, that's three hours, 1230 to 3.30. And he was like, oh, okay, add that up. 330 is 3.5 hours. So he's going to continue to, are you going to continue to argue this? But I think it was at 430. I think it had the time wrong.

You're the one that said 330. Yeah, I got that wrong. It did not take four hours. You guys were done at 545. Does that mean the back nine took one hour and 15 minutes? Because a bunch of teams left. No golf takes an hour and 15 minutes. Well, I played.

Mine took three and a half. So there's my answer. Okay, so we're close. Three and a half? Four. He's just tried to convince him that his math was wrong. He's going to die on this hill. He's going to die on this hill.

That's what he does. And that's all right. 859-280-2287. Anyway, fun day yesterday in summer seven. A lot of fun. Beautiful weather. It's the best weather I think we've had for scramble because we had a nice breeze. That would help with the heat.

That was great. That was very good. we had a hole in one. Yeah, right behind me. I saw it. Hole in one. Guy with the red beard. He plays in almost all of these scramples. I boot him.

He got a hole in one. We had a hole in one in the very first one we had, however many years ago. And now we have one. This is not the last one, hopefully, but we've had a hole in one in both of them. We also had a stretch. That was some really good comedy, Shannon. Did you see it? Did you see it?

So they had this girl. named Cora from Corbin. And she was working for a company called Corras. But it's not her company. But it's not her company. I made the reasonable assumption that if her name was Cora and the company was Cora's, I made the assumption, well, it's her company. And she was like, no.

How did you even get to that conclusion? Where would you even come to such a crazy conclusion? And she was, she gave, we made everyone do a stretch. And it was fascinating because it was clear. lot of people there, Shannon, had not stretched in decades. First, she made you, like, rotate your arms forward. That felt really good. And everybody was good.

And then she goes, do backwards. And all of a sudden, you just heard all this. Like, like, everyone in the crowd was like, that's a movement I haven't made in a long time. It was the hip stretches that got me. That's what I hadn't stretched for while. Both hips were popping. I didn't even know they could move like that. I felt good.

Like, this woman, she looked at me and she goes, you have very good. the one where we had to lift our leg up and then she was like, you have an amazing range of motion. And I held that compliment all through the day. Have you been stretching? You've been stretching? Well, I mean, I did yoga for a long time. I haven't done it in a while.

But like, it's amazing. Like one little compliment can go along. Like, you're like, oh, yeah. Hip stretching. All day I was floating. You had Skyline last night telling the little cashier about your flexibility. I said I have great hip flexibility. But that was fun.

And then the golf went. I did Matt and Myron sitting there on the top of the hill. And I watched Ryan putt with everybody. And it was just a good day in Somerset. Yeah. One of my favorites. Like I said, that's the course we haven't played yet. And it's been on my list for a long time.

And it did not disappoint. I am going to highly recommend because it's a public course part of our state park system. For all the people out there who want to travel the state, go somewhere pretty and play golf. General Birdside State Park, that golf course there, very nice, really kept in like immaculate shape for a public course, like part of the state park system. Shout out to the Greenskeepers and those guys, because it was immaculate. It was in great shape, great condition, yeah. So thank you to all of them for having us and then came back, ate at the local taco

in Hamburg, and then went and watched the Chiefs and the Broncos at my house. Chiefs are back. They're very back. They're back. Back. Taylor Swift said, get that camera out of my face. I was excited for a good game. Same.

Not a good game at all. Not even remotely entertaining, but not close. Kenneth Walker the third. Gotta be one of the best thirds to play in sports. Studs, but he is. Here's a little question for you. I had to look this up. I didn't know.

Where did Kenneth Walker the third play in college? Can anybody know that? This might be the best running, one of the two or three best running backs of the league. Does anyone have played at two schools? give you credit for either one of them. I feel like it's a West Coast. You're going to have to give it to me.

Shannon, any guess? I mean, I'll just, no, I don't know. Florida State. He won the National Running Back of the Year Award. So he was the best running back in the country in college, Michigan State. Michigan State. I would have never got me. Wrong state.

I said, I got the state part right, but the wrong state. I would have never known that. And he was like, not only, you talk about an anonymous player. He was not, he was the national running back of the year. Super Bowl MVP. and then he lands with the Chiefs. It's like, they're going to end up being because they have this youth movement.

I mean, Kelsey's still out there being old, but now with him and they got a 70-yard pass. You can hear his bones creaking while he was running down the field. Made a couple good moves, too, on that run. Did you see the clip that went viral during the game of the Seahawks GM when he was drunk at their parade after the Super Bowl? Are you talking about the guy that wears the tight shirts?

He was on the hard-knocked. He was like, Kenneth Walker's trying to negotiate with me. Isn't that silly? Because he's just assuming Kenneth Walker's going to be on the team. and now he's just dominating for the chiefs. Maybe you should have set down with Kenneth Walker. I think it's better when the chiefs are good. I just think I think the league, I hated the Patriots,

but the league was better when Brady was doing Brady things. And I think you need to have what you call it a villain, just call whatever you want. You need the chiefs, I think it just makes the league better if they're good. So are they the new Patriots, the new Yankees, the new team? Well, I mean, they're Mahomes. Anything with Mahomes, and you throw in the Travis Kelsey Pau. and, you know, all that.

Like, it's a, you need a team that's kind of that. And then it's exciting if you beat them. And so, yeah. Yeah, I got Tom Cruise at their games. Yeah, I mean, Tom Cruise was there with the haircut of Javier Bardem from no country for old men. This just, I'm, I'm all in on the Swifts and now and the Kelsey's. They don't have real friends. They just invite people that are famous to civil.

There's no way. Did I tell the story about Nikki Glazer on here? Did I tell the story about what you said? That was on cover zero, I think. Okay. So I was at Shannon. I went to a comedy club in New York a couple weeks ago. And they had a bunch of people came on stage.

And Nikki Glazer was there. And she said at one point, she was like, I went to Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift's wedding. And she goes, yeah, I'm as surprised as you all. She said, I'd never met him. So she got invited, obviously. So they invited people to their wedding. They don't even know. That they had never met.

Just for the star power. Yes. When you saw that guest list, it's like there's no way they have close relationships with all of these people. She said she thought her friends were pranking her when she got it. And then she checked and it was real. So they invite her. And then when she got there, apparently they said, we're really fan of yours. So I wonder can we do that?

Like, can I, could I invite Tony Cornheiser to my wedding? Yes. Never met him, but be like, I'm a big fan of yours. David Letterman. Would you like to come? People have invited us. Probably never met us. Remember?

We used to get wedding invites all the time. Yeah, but we sort of, I think that's different. I mean, I get what you're saying, but I think it's a little different because we kind of would encourage it to. And we would send people to. I think they just invite us to get the T-shirt that Maria used to send. Well, also on Hard Knocks, Cooper Cup is talking to Sam Donald. And he's like, I went. And then Donald's like, you know them?

He was like, no, I thought it was a joke. I don't know why I got invited. So it's like, do they just invite people by name? Well, they invited over a thousand people. But if you get invited, you have to go. go to that, right? I would have to go. I mean, of course you would go.

It's irrelevant. I mean, like, that's going to be the biggest social event of the year. But I just, but I'm with you. I also think the fact that it's in Kansas City makes it part of it. Like what, like Tom Cruise goes to, do you think he's ever been to Kansas City? What are they talking about the whole game? I don't know. Just being rich, I guess.

I don't know. But so I'm with you. I like it. And it was good to, you know, it was good to see them. Now, yesterday. You know, one of the, one of the, the, the benefit of this show is this show is, and I don't care what anyone says, this show is the biggest local sports show in the country. Yep. Numbers back it out.

It is. Now, I mean, you know, there may be shows in New York that have more total listeners because New York is bigger. but I'm not even sure if that's true. It might be true. There might be one or two like, you know, the Michael K or Boomer and Carlton or whoever those shows are. But I don't know if that's true. But in terms of dominating the market,

there's no one close and there's no one within, like you can't even see us on the racetrack. The positive of that is we get to do this. we have really cool stuff happen. Drew and I do an NFL show. I've gotten to do ESPN, et cetera, et cetera. The negative is all these losers from every other fan base know who we are. And they decide to comment.

So I want to quickly go, does anyone here know a show for another fan base that we have not met personally? like we know some Louisville ones because we know the people on them. Do you know an Alabama show? Do you know what Auburn? I mean, not counting like Cole Kubler. I mean, Five Mom doesn't count though. I mean, five-mom is a national show. Do you know an Auburn show?

No. South Carolina show. No. We know the Tennessee guy because he sits in his basement. It's fun to laugh at his people. Tony. Tony Basilio, right? But in general, we don't know.

That guy. That guy. To be fair. That's pretty funny. To be fair, that's pretty funny. But all these people, when we play them, they know us. And then they dig up all of Mario's stupid video. See, Mario puts all these videos out where I'm sitting there saying like, hey, we might be good this year.

And then they clip them and they're like, look at this delusional idiot. And so it's just rinse and repeat. when we lose a game, I go viral with all these people. And I get it. I don't mind. I don't hate on them. Like, okay, do your thing. But it's a rinse and repeat.

So like I know when we lose, like we did Saturday, I'm like, here we go again. And the clip that went viral that all the Alabama fans and the Louisville fans who have nothing to do, the one they pick is me just going, hey, we could be good. We could win. and I don't know it's just like every week

this happens and maybe there's nothing we can do about it because I'm not going to sit here and act like we stink all the time maybe we have a no predictions rule on videos for Mario. Maybe we just have a rule that Mario can only put videos out of us talking about cheese because they live forever Drew.

Yeah the score graphic posts goes up viral every time. I know they think they're dunking on us but like we're fans and a fan site to fan radio show. Of course we're going to want our team to win and pick our team to win in most cases. I mean, I don't know what they expect us to do because the reality is if you ask the average Kentucky fan, a lot of them would say we're too negative. Very true about that. Right. A lot of Kentucky, I mean, just think about the criticism during the Cal era and even the Pope era stoop's. Oh, KSR's too negative. And then you can not please people. Right? You can't.

People, you know, there was a thread on the board on Saturday about how we just inject optimism in the fan base all summer just to almost every year just for us to trip. It's like, sorry, we get excited. We're fans. I mean, literally, I mean, this happens with our fans too. Literally people will go, Matt Jones is ruining Kentucky's board. He ran Cal out of town. And then we lose and people go, you got me all worked up. It's all your fault. You're the one that said it.

You got me. I'll work out. That's your video. That's your video clip, Mario. That's the one you want to post. That's the one. Well, it was the facial expression. That's what they do.

I feel bad for the listeners. I worked out. Save, Mario. How do you save? Control S. Does that work? So I don't know. And it shouldn't matter, but then I'll just, I go on Twitter

less today than I've ever gone. but I'll go on there and it's just people Yukon thread in your ear 62. Look how crazy Matt Jones. What's the story that Birmingham

colonists wants Kurt Herbert Street to apologize? Yeah, okay, that guy. Look, Birmingham, Kevin Skarbookski, comes out and goes, Kirk Herb Street needs to apologize for picking Kentucky. Are you kidding me?

Should every person have to apologize when they pick a game wrong? if people who pick games for a living, if they were that good, they'd just quit and go gamble. No one knows the results of these games. And I'm sure the other guys, you're going to be wrong a lot. I'm sure the other guys got other games wrong. And what's Kirk Herb Street going to do? Dear citizens of Alabama, I'm sorry.

What does he want them to do? Period. People have lost their mind, everyone. Who has to the voice again? No one. I'm not your clown. Take a break. Send that to me tomorrow.

We'll take a break, be right back. KSR. Behind every night spent making the kids' lunches, there's a lot of suspense. Will they finally eat the veggies? Will the pasto survive the first bite? Will the lunchbox come home empty,

I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me.

I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them. There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive.

Welcome back, Tucky Sports Radio, 859, 280,000, 2287.

Phones are open to ask anything Tuesday. One person says, Matt, on the text machine, 772-744. I'm driving down to Texas A&M this weekend for the game. I remember you saying you've been there before, any recommendations for things to do? No. There's nothing there, except karaoke bar, according to Myron. He says that's all.

They do have good food. There's like some good food around the stadium. But that place is tiny. I always recommend people stay in Houston or Austin and then drive to there the day of the game. But if you're staying there, I don't really know what to do. Because there's 103,000 people at those games. I don't know where they put them. Because I don't think there's, I think there's 6,000 houses in the entire place.

I don't know where people stay. The night before, people still just go to the stadium to practice chanting for the next day. Yeah, I don't know. It's a really interesting place. I will say that. I mean, I've never been to a football game. I've been there for basketball, but it's a fascinating place. I remember a lot of our fans that went down there in 2018 came back.

And we had a shot, yeah. And raving about how everybody was so friendly and it was nice. It was an awesome environment. And they loved going down there. So I guess it's a cool place to go watch a game. That was a game where Miles missed the kick. And a girl, our friend Miles Butler missed that kick. You remember in that game.

And he tells the story about he matched with a girl. Tinder when they got back and she had matched with him only Shannon to yell at him about missing the camera. Oh, that's perfect. Yeah, there's that jerk that costs us the game and he match with him so I can wear him out. To be fair, that's a high level of trolling right there.

Oh, yeah. That's a great story. Yeah. You're trying to avoid all the other apps where people are making fun of it. You're like, Tinder will be fine. I'll get out of here, ignore the football game. She's not going to do that to me. Take my mind off the game. And she just gets blasted. Dylan's up first. Go ahead, Dylan. What's up, guys? I know you

all, this might ask anything question. I know you all talk about Louisville a lot and I'm only No, we know. Okay, stop right there. That's not, that is not true. No, not Louisville basketball. Not Louisville as the city. Yeah, well, yes, of course. It's in Kentucky as the city. Yes, we do.

Yes. Okay, what I was I'm only been to Louisville once and it was for the derby, but I've never actually went into the city and explored it. That was wondering if you all kind of like the Texas A&M question. I actually think it's a great city, Shannon. I'll use you for this, right? Okay.

I mean, Louisville is a city, I think, is vastly underrated. Great restaurants. Like, without question for a city that size, maybe the best restaurants of a city that size in the country. There are 50 great restaurants. The Ali Museum, if you've never been, is awesome. Like, it really is awesome. If you've never been there,

it's worth the trip to go. It really is cool. The area of the New Lou areas is cool. The area where I live, not as cool as it was, but still pretty awesome on Bardstown Road. St. Matthews is a great area as well for restaurants and bars. St. Matthews is awesome for all of that kind of stuff. You know. And you've got the Slugger Museum.

The Lugger Museum. There's bourbon stuff there. Yes, there's all those little bourbon places, that row where whiskey thief is. There's a ton of little burglies. There's a whiskey row. I think Louisville, I think a lot of our state, is either looks down upon or is scared of or whatever the city of Louisville and I don't think it should be.

I think it's a lot of bad reps. It does and I don't. A lot of Kentucky is rural and, you know, we're scared of the big urban city that's here. But I mean, I've never been able to really go there and explore it. Well, you should. I appreciate the call. When I was young, I was scared to Louisville.

I think you were just like, oh, that's the big city. That's the big city. But then when I moved there, I loved it. So I highly, There's a ton of, I mean, sometimes maybe we'll do a guide during the offseason about all the restaurants in the Louisville because there really are amazing ones. We should be all proud of our flagship city in our state. It is quite nice. Yeah. All it misses is a professional basketball team.

And we have a ton of Kentucky fans there. Yes. Oh, absolutely. All my Louisville hatred is directed at campus and their athletics, not the city. Yes. And by the way, they just announced that they are naming, that they are selling the rights to the advertising on their. their basketball courts to a crypto company. Okay.

XRP. All right. I don't know what that means. You know my view. I'm anti-crypto. By the way, that's a view that people have come around to more. I mean, when I said that two or three years ago, everybody was like, oh, you're going to get left behind.

And now they're like almost all of them are broke, except there's a couple big ones, like Bitcoin, except. But even that's way down, though, right? It's down from a tie. Yeah, it's climbing back. So are they going to pay in Bitcoin? Are they going to pay in cash? Well, that's a good question.

If they paid them in Bitcoin, then they may go, they may go. It's a big gamble. Bitcoin's a roller coaster. But it is kind of interesting because that's a very sort of risky thing. Well, not risky, but I would think that's a controversial thing for Louisville to put on their court, right? Well, what was the one that's been a few years, but they were attached to the NBA teams? And it went bankrupt, right? To get his money.

Sam, Bank, Freedman, something. I think crypto, to me, almost all crypto is a scam. I just forgiven Hunter Biden. He was like, you know what? Hunter Biden seems like good. And then he put out a crypto coin. And I was like, see, there you go. Scammers scam.

When you're making a crypto and promoting it, that is absolutely scam. That is one thing I promise you I will never do. That's the rugpole. If you exploit your fan base by putting out a crypto coin, you are, you are. just you are looking at them and saying, I don't care about you. Everyone that does that, I mean, Donald Trump did it. I think did the Hock Tua. Oh, yeah.

I'll see only two people come to my mind. Tom Brady, didn't he do one? You're taking advice from Hock Tua. That's on you. I will say that. If you give Hock Tua your money, then that is on you to some extent. At some point it should just be obvious. I agree with you.

If somebody's like, you know who I want to give my money to Hock, too? To some extent, Shannon, you are getting what you deserve, I guess. Yeah, I mean, I guess there's an idiot around every corner, and she's proven that the fact that there's actually people that follow her advice. Yeah. So Louisville's getting in the crypto game, and their coin will probably crash, too, I would think. 859-28027. We'll talk a little big blue madness tickets are on sale. We'll do with that and write up for this, 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. Is this limp biscuit? Of course. You know limp biscuit. There'll be a louder than life on Saturday. Are you coming? Oh, larger than life has limp biscuit? Louder than life does. Larger than life is a Backstreet Boys album. Yeah. But yeah, they'll be there Saturday. So you have four straight days of that coming starting Thursday, right? eight of 11 days because bourbon and beyond is right after that.

That's crazy. So Thursday through Sunday, then we get three days rest and we come right back for four straight days. So you start Thursday. Who's your big group on Thursday? Iron Maiden. It's a metal day on day one. So you got like mega-diff. Aren't they all metal days?

Some more than others. I don't know. You call it Limp Biscuit metal? No, I just called crap. I thought you liked them. No? No, not really. I did like one of their songs.

Yeah. But I can't remember which one it was. Faith? Yeah, the George Michael song. I did like their faith. And then I guess they did. I did it all for the nookie. You like the nooky.

So, correct. So Iron Maiden, Megadeth. Those guys got to be, like Iron Maiden, are they like 70? Probably, yeah. Pantera, Alice Cooper, speaking of a guy. When Iron Maiden and those guys play, did their hearing aids ever go off with all that noise? I think they can hear just fine. It's, as the name says loud.

So you're excited about it. You love this weekend. Oh, yeah. Yeah. There was a story in the New York Times about this. I mean, how many people come to town for Latter Than Life? Well, if you combine the two, it's around like 500,000 people. That's a million people.

But, like, this is the biggest one of those kind of concerts in the country, isn't it? North America, yeah, and biggest one in North America. So people watching is good at Latter Than Life. It is. I've been there. That was where, remember, that was the concert that got my, was like my last step of my therapy. Have I ever told that on the show? I think he did.

I think you did. Yeah. So when I had all those issues after I was in the hospital, I was like not going, like I was really struggling, like going in crowds. And I went through to this guy that got recommended to me. And he's fine. And one of the last things he says, like, what to you is like the thing that would give you the anxiety the most?

And I was like being in a large concert in a huge group of people and what? And feeling like I couldn't get away. And he goes, well, then you. need to go. And Metallica was playing it larger than life. And I told Perrin, we're going. It was going to be my last step. We go to the concert and we're there. And how many people were there, Shannon? I saw you that day. Probably 50,000, 60,000. Who knows? People and I was surrounded. Paren sees a girl, gone. Leaves me by myself. Right. And then I, I was surrounded. Parin sees a girl gone. Laves me by myself. right and then all of a sudden like I start to feel it you know because you're just surrounded

in a metallica but I stuck through it see peer was putting you through the test if parent it hung with you he was your safety that's right that's true he said he was doing me a favor by running off with that woman I got you okay he was your water wings thank you parent wasn't about the girl it was about you it was it was helping me okay good good yeah and then I got through it and as I walked out at 12.30 at night, my therapist actually called me on Saturday night and was like, how did it go? And he was like, so you got through it. And oddly, that really had a strong effect on me being able to feel like I was. Never, never looked back after that. Yeah. So thank you. It was your medicine. Yeah. Thank you. Larger than life. And whatever woman

took Perrin's eye at that moment. You'll change your life. Life changing experience. Thank you very much. Let's go to Andy. Go ahead, Andy. All right, Matt. I got a hypothetical for you. assuming you have the time, you're offered the Reds play-by-play job for a year and you're guaranteed they win a World Series. But Bob and Jamestown's on the call with you. Great scenario. You're actually on hold.

You know, Andy, I just have to tell you, the quality of your calls has increased exponentially in the last year. Like, have you been on steroids or something? What is it that you've done? I don't know. Okay. Going through everything I went through and then just combine that with just sitting around thinking of stuff. Okay.

Well, I like them. Appreciate the call. I would not, no, would be the answer. I could not do that. No. To travel the country, just me and Bob and Jamestown. The Reds were a World Series. Are you kidding me?

That's like eight months of just me and Bob and James Town. That's a lot. For the Reds. For a World Series, though. I appreciate the call. That's fine. You're not a fan. You're not a fan.

You would go spend eight months on the road with Bob and James Town. Yes, if I was a Reds fan. That's punishment or not being a Reds fan. If you say no, he's shortening, doing the Bears. You got what? 17, 18 weeks, just on Sundays. See, that would be easier because you get in and get out. You're not.

stuck in a city for days. I would love to hear his color commentary because you beat the play-by-play guy, right? Apparently in this scenario. Yeah. And Bob fills in with his color commentary. Matt, have you seen the price of milk? You have anything to do with the Reds at all. Speaking of the Reds, did you see that home run by Ellie last night?

I didn't see it. Knocked it out of the stadium. Did he? Only the third player in the history of Reds games to knock it out of the stadium. Were they playing a Little League Park? They're playing at the Red Stadium. Knocked it out of the Red Stadium? Knocked it out of the Red Stadium.

Wow. Over by the big chimney thing. Yeah, he knocked it completely over the whole thing. Against the Dodgers. It was, they measured it 457 feet, although the Cowboys said last night he thinks it was more like 480. That's a shot. That's a poke to get it out of there. So you are still watching these games, though.

I wasn't. I just watched the highlight. I'm done. I've sold all these Dodgers. The Dodgers tickets go for a lot of money. Yes. Yeah. Like this is, I do thank the Reds for stinking because it's led me to get a lot of my season ticket money back.

These Dodgers tickets are, yeah, I've had, and again, people are nice, but they come up to me like, hey, man, I know you don't like when people ask for tickets, but I always wonder, like, why do they think it's going to be different? Like, I'm a big Yankees fan. Yikes are a man. But the Dodgers, everybody's like, listen, man, my kid loves Shohay. Well, a lot of kids love Showing. An entire country of kids love Showing. But I mean, I'm getting like

300 bucks apiece for these tickets. Nice. You're not back in just because he's hitting those. No, it's the end the season. Sell the team. They just announced they're bringing the GM back. What do you have to do to get fired in Cincinnati? He's been terrible.

Yeah, he didn't do a good job this year managing that roster for sure. He hasn't done a good job in a decade. Right? I mean, look at our roster. It stinks. Got some good young players, but he can't build around them. Yeah. We stink.

That's my favorite line. We stink. Red stink. They stink. They stink. They stink. Retired ref. Go ahead.

You know, I watched the game Saturday and that defensive play kind of gives me hope of the way that they're going to play one of these days. Yeah. But after watching the entire game, it brought back memories of watching Greg Norman playing in the Masters. Yeah. And I can't remember what year it was, but he's on fire only to end up. Yeah, I think it was 96. I think it was 96. You're talking about what gets Faldo.

Yeah, where he had that huge lead. Nick Faldo ends up having to hug him at the end of it because he collapsed. And he did that a lot over the years. I mean, I was a Greg Norman fan growing up, and he found the way Bob Tway hit the shot out of the bunker. Robert Gammaz, hold it from the fairway to beat him, and Larry Mize chipped in to beat him. It's kind of his reputation. In 1986, I think he led every single major going to the final round,

and he only won one won. Oh, no. Yeah, Jack Nicholas beat him that year. Ray Floyd. How do I remember all this? I know. I do. But anyway, sir, you're exactly right.

There was a little bad. I appreciate the call. Do you feel that way, Ryan, that the good part. of the defense on Saturday makes you feel good for the future. It does for me. Like I said this yesterday, I still saw enough to leave me optimistic about the entire team. But the defense especially, I thought it was going to be, kind of had some struggles this year. But they've proven that they can snack up with the big boys. Yeah, they were on fire early. I love the way they were playing. There was a

moment where I was thinking, like, not just because they had the lead and all that, just like, is this going to be a really, really, really, really good defense when we've been focused on Will Stein's offense? And of course, it all collapsed. I think part of that was the circumstances. Once the fumble and the fake pump were botched, then suddenly they're down 14. I think they just kind of caved in and they're better than what they showed in that end of the third quarter and fourth. Obviously, time will tell if this is true. But for me, at least, I think that it was more to do with the fact that we had no depth than they just wore out. Yeah. I mean, that's, and then in the second half, we're forced to stay on the field.

Like in the first quarter, I think the time of possession was, let's say, maybe 11 minutes Kentucky, four minutes Alabama. And then I think in the rest of the game, it was like outrageously more Alabama than Kentucky. I'm just guess, but like maybe 3213 or something. And I think you just, there comes a point when you don't have backups on defense, you just can't keep asking your defense to do that. I definitely left more impressed with the defensive line than I thought they were going to be. Dunfer's grace. Devin's lime was good. Gatsim.

And then when you told me that Nichols didn't play, I guess I didn't realize that. Well, now you didn't have your best corner against one of the best wide receivers in the country. They're going to need Nichols to be big all year long. He's got to get healthy. They've got a lot of bodies in there that can play, but he's above the rest as your top cornerback.

Yeah, it's reading. It's called reading. So we don't like to use that word anymore. Okay. A panel of New Yorker cartoonists. Have you guys done Terry Gross's Peloton class? No! I've been dying too.

I'm so sorry. I'm seeing a reading of Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Audra McDonald's at the Wonderland Bookstore on 14. That's crazy. I went to the Wonderland Bookstore yesterday, and I heard Nora Jones do a reading of Zero Dark Thirteen. No way. You have to come to the last bookstore, though.

You know what sucks? The Reds. Alabama, right? That's right. Cheap seats. But your seats aren't cheap, but everybody else is going to have to get the cheap seats. They want me to sign a three-year deal to lock in the price. Okay, you lock in Ellie, Chase Burns in South Stewart. Yeah, you resign, well, they're not going to,

they really can't resign Ellie. Like they'd have to invest in. Louisville's crypto. Sal Stewart, maybe. And he's great. Yeah, he is. You should ask him if the price is going to go down. Should.

We stink. One person right. Okay, so 859, 2802287. We have a couple questions here. Before I do that, I'm bummed about what happened at the Herald Leader with all these reporters losing their jobs. Not because I think the Herald Leader has always been great,

but these reporters, especially the ones that they let go. A lot of them, I think, were really good. But also I just worry about local news because, like, you need to have local news. You need to have somebody. All our news can't be national. There has to be local news. And then sometimes, though, I see what local news is. And I go, all right, we got to do better than this.

I went to a TV station. I'm not going to say which one, L-E-X-18. And I went to their website. Would you like to know what the second story was this morning? Oh, no. Well, they find another Baron Masterson station? Worse. Local neighborhood cat killed by dog.

Something like it would be in a cartoon. Wow, what a slow newsday. That was the second story. It probably happens every day. So I opened up and I was like, what is it? And the story was a local cat beloved by Romney Road neighbors named Casper was killed in a dog attack. It's a murder. Prayers up to Casper.

and to the people of Romney Road. John Short. See you at the crossroads. But is that a news story? Was there more to it? No. I hoped there was. Did the dog go to jail at least?

You put him on trial? Yeah, they're still on the loose. I don't know if the dog is still on the loose. How is that a story? How is a cat being killed by a dog's story? It's murders in the streets. Does Casper's owner work at L-EX-18? Oh, that might be it.

But it's something I can think of. It's still not a news story. No, it's not. It's sad for Casper's community. I don't know if the city of Lexington. By adding the name Casper, it would like, he's friendly. Make us more sympathetic.

I don't know. It's a little embarrassing. It was a second story. Breaking news. Casper has been killed. She's seen another wild. There's nothing crazy. There's nothing crazy.

Every person. loses a pet. Every person loses a pet is going to call 18 now. Yes, do it. I hope you do. Just make that pet deaths.com. Joe, go ahead, Joe. Hey, yeah, man. I had a friend here at work that went to the game and he said at halftime

when Alabama went off the field, her fans were booing. I didn't think anybody did that but us. Well, I mean, they wouldn't surprise me. Their fans, at least the ones around me, were very very nervous during that period of time. So I wouldn't shock me. Well, I thought

Ruby was the only one they'd done that. Well, we did that. I appreciate to call it, that Gonzaga game. I don't like booing your own team. That's always been my view, but I also don't, you know, I understand why it happens, but. Yeah, you know, their football fans, the Netties are restless.

They had a disappointing year last year. But they had a great second half. So they came out at halftime and put it to us. He got himself another week. Mark, go ahead, Mark. What's going on, Matt? What's up? Hey, real quick, I had a couple things.

I think last week's game, Will Stein showed a little bit of inexperience. And you had a caller yesterday to talk about. There was a series in the first half where he declined a penalty. Yes. Alabama was struggling to move the ball. And actually, I think on the next play, I think they made the first down, in other words. It would put him back on like a second and. 25 or something like that.

It was going to be second 18. It was going to be second 18 and they left it and made it third night. Then they converted the third night. Yeah, and they converted it. Yeah. Hey, real quick, and this game this weekend, Texas A&M, I tell all Kentucky fans, if you're going there, get there, go super early. Just getting into A&M is like the worst possible place ever.

One way in. Terrible drive from Houston. But one thing about when I think about Texas A&M game, it's kind of, I think, of what could have been, To me, I always consider that the Chris Oates game. Chris Oates started a linebacker that game and the first half for cash, because cash was suspended. And he had like one of the best first half.

I've seen a lineback that had at UK for, I mean, forever. And things kind of went down here a little bit after cash. But I'm not saying it was caused to cash, maybe they made suggestions, and there some changes and everything. I mean, that game was, that game would have been, it was a chance. I appreciate the call because, I mean, they were right with A&M. that whole game. We all thought going in

they might get smoked. And they, it was there for the taking. And then we, we lost an overtime. Went to OT, yeah. Went to OT. That was in the old overtime rules where you just went back and forth

and back and forth. And I don't remember, did we go to two maybe? Is that, did Miles miss one right away in OT? I think that's what happened. It might be right. Miles missed one.

It wasn't a chip shot. And then they scored a touchdown. And then they scored, I think, I think you're right. Yeah. Terry and Shepardtsville. Go ahead, Terry. Yeah, when the schedule came out, there were two games I thought were unwinnable.

This week and home against the LSU. But the reason I thought this week was unwinnable, I thought they had a shot at Bama and they would be so high that they couldn't get up again. Losing the way they did, do you think there's a chance they go down there and get thumped again, or you think Stein can get them ready? I think it's a great question. I think if they, I still don't think they. I still don't think they can win, but I do think it is important for Stein to show

that they don't get thumped, right? I think they need to go down there and be competitive. I don't know what that looks like, but the only thing to me that would be a huge negative out of this game is if you go down there and it's 45 to 3 or something. And then I think this fan base is like, all right, what's happening? So, Terry, I do think it, I appreciate the call.

If that game against Alabama had ended up a three-point game, I wouldn't feel like this. But after the way that second half ended, they need to be in this game throughout all of it. Yeah, they can't go down there and get waxed. I don't know, I don't think they're going to win, but you've got to be competitive and put up a fight a little bit. The Draft King spread and you go to Draft Kings bet five.

You can get up to $150 in bonus bets. DraftKings.com promo code KSR is 16 and a half. I feel like that's a right number. I feel like it's pretty good. Arizona State was 14 and a half last week. They ended up losing by 28, but A&M scored like 28 points in the fourth quarter. That game was competitive for most of the game.

Excuse me, Arizona State, Bowley, they turned it over four times. So you look at Arizona State and whatever you think of them. I mean, if they get their turnervers of control, they play them pretty close. I feel like the Arizona State game is a model of you need to be as competitive as they were. What happened to them is a lot of what happened to us against Alabama. It just got away from them at the end. I'd like to see us play them at least like Arizona State played A&M as well. We'll take a break.
