They discuss the peculiar involvement of two women named Olivia—his fiancée and a swimsuit model who allegedly was house-sitting. The conversation raises questions about Burrow's personal life and the authenticity of the reports.

"Matt Jones [08:37]: 'It's very suspicious. The best case scenario is he hired a model to be his house sitter and his fiancée is cool with it.'"

Matt Jones agrees, highlighting tougher away games against teams like Louisville and South Carolina, and the enhanced competition within the SEC.

"Matt Jones [27:23]: 'This was the year to beat Auburn. Now you have to go to Auburn and you assume they'll be a little improved. It's just so much harder across the board.'"

Drew Franklin adds that the shift from home to away games for key opponents increases the challenge for Kentucky.

---

7. Speculation on Bill Belichick’s Potential College Coaching Role [35:10 - 38:37]

The hosts engage in a humorous yet critical discussion about Bill Belichick possibly taking a coaching position in college:

"Ryan Lemon [35:10]: 'They said he gave them a 400-page manifesto of what he would do. Do you think that would help if you saw 400 pages?'"

"Matt Jones [37:11]: 'If you're hiring him, I think you can.'"

"Ryan Lemon [38:16]: 'I don't think it's required that you read it. I think they... you would just throw it in the trash.'"

Transcript

[Doug Gottlieb]

This is Doug Gottlieb from All Ball with Doug Gottlieb. Listen, I'm gonna get serious for a minute and talk about something personal. The hate in our country is getting out of control. In fact, it's at an all time high and people are facing just too much hate. A lot of people don't think it's a problem, I can tell you. I've experienced it firsthand, you know, living outside of the country in Russia when my teammates found out I was Jewish and at the time, granted this is 25 years ago, I couldn't get into the country of Dubai. They just treated me differently. I knew what they were saying in Russian because I could speak it, but they didn't know I understood that they were talking behind my back. Look, there's lots of examples of it, but it's going to take all of us to stop this sort of hate because we're all on the same team in this country. So let's take a break from our hate so our team can regroup and regain our momentum. We need to take a time out against hate. Visit standuptolhate.org to help and join me in calling for time out against hate by following the at what's up with Hate? Or posting the blue square emoji.

[Ryan Lemon]

Hour number two Kentucky Sports Radio 859-280-2287. It is Wings day. Got some fellas just came in here for dollar Wings. I assume that's right, isn't it? Yeah, it's perfect day. And also our pregame show starts at 5:30 today here for Kentucky and Colgate. Make sure to get here and get your spot early for the very rare. You get a game day and a wings day that come together as one and you get that today. So we, you know, that's good.

[Drew Franklin]

We used to seem to play on Wednesdays a little more often.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. Now it's mostly Tuesday.

[Drew Franklin]

Now it's only Tuesday.

[Ryan Lemon]

Now it's mostly Tuesdays. 859-280-2287. One person writes. Matt, do we think Lamont Butler plays tonight? Yes or no? Drew, I'm going to go.

[Drew Franklin]

No.

[Matt Jones]

Just because Colgate's 2 and 8, you know what the injury.

[Ryan Lemon]

They're 2 and 8.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, they're not.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, that's not good.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, they beat UNC Wilmington. That's impressive.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, well, they beat us last year, so there you go.

[Matt Jones]

They're not a good team. So I don't think you should push him tonight unless he's just fully healthy, which I wouldn't expect since he'd be.

[Ryan Lemon]

Good to have him for Louisville, though, Saturday.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, you don't really need him tonight. You need him for Louisville. So is this a game where Travis Perry actually going to get some back?

[Ryan Lemon]

I think he'd get minutes.

[Drew Franklin]

I think so too.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. If you don't have Lamont Butler, you probably start Robinson at the point guard and then Travis Perry would be the backup. I think that's probably what you would do there, right?

[Drew Franklin]

I think it's a great opportunity, you know, to get Travis a lot of minutes and get him, you know, in the flow a little bit tonight.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. Can we do some. Can we do some gossiping?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

Shannon, would you like to gossip?

[Josh]

Let's go.

[Ryan Lemon]

I have two really good stories that are. That are kind of gossipy. And granted, I, you know, we shouldn't gossip. You know what I mean? Like, you shouldn't, you shouldn't whisper. You shouldn't gossip. But sometimes I gotta admit, gossip's kind of interesting. I'm gonna do two different stories. Let's start with Joe Burrow.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay.

[Ryan Lemon]

All right. So Joe Burrow's playing the football. He's playing against Cowboys.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

He's going. Here we go. Hut, hut. Throwing. That game's in Dallas. His home is in Cincinnati. While the game's going on, somebody tries to break into his house. That's not good.

[Drew Franklin]

No, it's not.

[Ryan Lemon]

I'm surprised that doesn't happen more often. Happened to my homes. Happened to Kelsey. Now it's happened to Burrow. I think this idea of guys playing a game and then people break into their house during the game. We're going to watch this.

[Drew Franklin]

Sure.

[Matt Jones]

Have you seen a few weeks ago, the leagues warned all their players, when you're on road trips, hire extra security because they think they're being.

[Ryan Lemon]

They think that's happening. So that's. That is in and of itself a little troubling. Right. But then how do the police know burrows home gets broken into. A woman calls 911. Now Burrow has a fiance. His name, her name is Olivia. Person who calls 911 name Olivia makes sense, right? You assume fiance called 911.

[Drew Franklin]

Fiance.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, no, you'd be wrong.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, no.

[Ryan Lemon]

Different Olivia. This Olivia is a SI swimsuit model, not his fiance. She calls, she pulled up to the house, sees it's broken in, calls the police and say, what should I do? Of course, the Internet starts roaming and going, why is Olivia si supermodel calling? When Joe Burrow is engaged to Olivia, other person, she tells the police she is quote, employed by Joe Burrow and said that she staying at his house.

[Drew Franklin]

She's house sitting.

[Ryan Lemon]

She's house sitting. So here's my question. Engaged woman with same name who was also a swimsuit model and has 3 million Instagram followers. What could she be employed doing in Cincinnati at her house? At his house at 9:00 at night? The Internet is a buzz. What do you think, Drew?

[Matt Jones]

I'm with the Internet. I've been abuzz about this too. It's very suspicious. The best case scenario for Joe Burrow is like Ryan said, he somehow managed to hire a model to be his house sitter and his wife's cool with it. Maybe she's letting the dogs out while.

[Ryan Lemon]

They'Re in the house. But would Abby be cool with. Would Abby be cool with. While you're gone, you hire a swimsuit model to house it?

[Matt Jones]

I think that would be frowned upon. But I'm just saying Joe's best case scenario is that fiance knows this and that she's there to let the dogs out.

[Ryan Lemon]

Would you be okay? Would Sarah be okay with that?

[Josh]

Probably not. No, I don't think that would work.

[Ryan Lemon]

But she doesn't live in Cincinnati.

[Josh]

It's strange though.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, she called it her house too.

[Ryan Lemon]

She said her house.

[Josh]

Both of them named Olivia.

[Ryan Lemon]

Both of them.

[Josh]

He's got a thing for Olivia's. I guess I just.

[Ryan Lemon]

How does she live? Like said she lived in the house. See, but he's engaged to someone else.

[Drew Franklin]

My mind is just going crazy right now. Does the other Olivia live with Joe?

[Ryan Lemon]

Does he have two Olivia's.

[Drew Franklin]

Two Olivia's that live there at the same time if she comes in for her dog sitting duties or whatever she's been hired to do.

[Matt Jones]

Well, this is fiance so they're probably. I would assume they live together.

[Ryan Lemon]

Shannon, what do you think? Yeah, I feel like you can dissect this Olivia.

[Josh]

One has to know about Olivia too and vice versa. I don't think there's any scenario. I don't think there's any scenario which they don't know each other.

[Ryan Lemon]

You would think so.

[Josh]

So then in that case then it's on the up and up. Then it's ok, right? He's not cheating. He's not doing anything.

[Drew Franklin]

Permission.

[Ryan Lemon]

I got it. But why is she. It's odd that you would have. This woman is from like New York and she's house sitting in Cincinnati.

[Matt Jones]

And if I were Joe Burrow and it were innocent and my fiance knew about it, I would immediately. Here's a picture that. We've known her forever. It's my wife.

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, he has to do media today.

[Matt Jones]

I would try to shut it down.

[Drew Franklin]

You're a reporter.

[Ryan Lemon]

You. You're working for the Cincinnati television station. First question. Are you. Are you asking the question at today's media? Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Can't be the first question. Let him talk about the Cowboys.

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, how you going to ask it? Let me ask. Let's just assume Joe Burrow's standing right there. How are you asking that question?

[Drew Franklin]

I'd say, Joe, somebody broke into your house over the weekend. There's a lot of talk out there. Would you like to straighten things out right now and clear things up?

[Ryan Lemon]

That's not going to get you the answer. He's going to talk about his house. He's not going to bring up the Olivia's. You're going to have to bring up the Olivia.

[Drew Franklin]

See as you asked that first question came talk about it. And then if he talks about doesn't mention Olivia, can you explain then why there are other. There's two Olivias involved or I would probably work.

[Ryan Lemon]

I want to know how you'd word it.

[Drew Franklin]

I'd say because I asked the first question.

[Ryan Lemon]

Okay, let's just play it out. Okay, here we go. Next question.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, I already asked the first one.

[Ryan Lemon]

Let's start with the first. Ryan Lemon lex18 Joe, unfortunately it looks.

[Drew Franklin]

Like your house may have been broken into over the weekend when you were in Dallas. Can you kind of clear up some details of that or want to talk about that a little bit?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, you know, I don't really want to get into it a lot. It was a tough situation. I thank the local police department for coming over and helping and we're going to take care of it. And you know, it's just one of those unfortunate things. We're going to have to be more careful when I, when I leave town.

[Drew Franklin]

Apparently Olivia, supermodel girl was there that called into the police. So, you know, is she work for you?

[Ryan Lemon]

Why are you bringing up my personal life?

[Drew Franklin]

Well, she just said in her police report that she is employed by you and was she there house sitting for you or what was her, what's her involvement?

[Ryan Lemon]

You look nervous and you're just talking to me. I don't think there's any way you could say that in front of Joe Burrow.

[Matt Jones]

What about Joe Rank? The Olivia's in your life.

[Ryan Lemon]

All right, so that's gossip number one. Would you like gossip number two?

[Drew Franklin]

I love gossip number one story, by the way.

[Ryan Lemon]

Gossip number two. You know, Donald Trump, he has a son. Donald Trump Jr.

[Drew Franklin]

Yes.

[Ryan Lemon]

He was engaged or is engaged to a woman named Kimberly Guilfoyle. She's always on television talking about, talking about things. Fox News, she was the one that, remember at the convention screamed, you know, she gave that Howard Dirt Dean scream the one time. Okay. Two days ago, cameras show Donald Trump Jr. Walking into a bar holding hands with a different woman. The woman is apparently a socialite in whatever, wherever they are multiple pictures of him with this woman. So people are like, what's, what's happening to the fiance? Where's Kimberly Guilfoyle? It again. Internet goes abuzz.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

Next day, Donald Trump appoints Kimberly Guilfoyle ambassador to Greece. Sends her away. Smooth move to Greece. Gone. What about that?

[Drew Franklin]

Dad, can you help me out here? This is, this is DJ junior. Can you help me out here?

[Ryan Lemon]

Sends her to Greece.

[Drew Franklin]

That's definitely a thank you to the boy, to the son, don't you think?

[Ryan Lemon]

But I mean, think about that. Like that's kind of a crazy thing, right?

[Drew Franklin]

She can't turn it down. She's got to accept it, doesn't she? That's a pretty good title.

[Ryan Lemon]

But I mean, can you imagine if your son breaks off a wedding and you would send the ex is the ambassador to another country just to get her away?

[Josh]

Sounds like a good Consolation prize to me.

[Ryan Lemon]

I mean, that's.

[Matt Jones]

At least he gave her grease. I saw this story. That was my first thought.

[Ryan Lemon]

Like, so what if Joe Burrow sends his fiance to the Cowboys?

[Drew Franklin]

I just got you a job working PR in Dallas for the Cowboys.

[Matt Jones]

So a lot going on.

[Ryan Lemon]

Lot going on in the world of gossip. Who's next?

[Josh]

Josh.

[Ryan Lemon]

Josh. Go ahead, Josh.

[Caller]

Hey, what's going on, guys? So have some good history concerning the Big Boy there on Harrodsburg Road.

[Ryan Lemon]

Okay.

[Caller]

That was originally the Sherrod family farm where they grew straw. Not out there.

[Ryan Lemon]

And they also put in you where they grew what?

[Caller]

Strawberries, mainly.

[Ryan Lemon]

Okay.

[Caller]

And so then Mr. Sherrod, after. During the Great Depression, he started a sign company called Sherrod Sign Company, which is ironically, pretty much right across the street from KS Bar. It's the oldest family owned sign company in the state. So Mr. Sherrod would go up to Cincinnati to paint signs and billboards and whatnot. And he would. Every opening day, he would be at the Reds stadium and paint a red top beer sign or some other sign on one of the buildings in the outfield. Part of, like their opening day tradition. Well, while they were up there, Mr. Sherrod enjoyed taking his kids to eat at the Big Boy. And he ended up bringing that Big Boy as the first one in the state of Kentucky because of his travels and taking his kids to eat at the Big Boy in Cincinnati.

[Ryan Lemon]

I had no idea where you were going with that, but that's it. That's. That's interesting and I appreciate the call. Apparently, they're closing 12 big boys today because they didn't pay rent. I get you, but does that mean they had 12 land, the same landlord in all 12 places, or they just collectively decided we're not paying rent anywhere?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. You'd think the landlord in Winchester is different than the landlord on Harrisburg Road.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. But it's a sad day.

[Drew Franklin]

It is a sad day.

[Ryan Lemon]

When's the last time you've eaten at a Big Boy?

[Drew Franklin]

I know we're gonna get to this. Or not. It became kind of a tradition in my family.

[Ryan Lemon]

You have a tradition.

[Drew Franklin]

They eat everywhere because, you know, in TV you have to work holidays. And so a lot of times I would work Thanksgiving Day and we would go get freshest Big Boy on the Harrisburg Road for lunch every single year. For Thanksgiving. I'm sorry, not Christmas. You would eat Thanksgiving and then for dinner, my mom would make Thanksgiving dinner. We'd have our big turkey and dressing. But for lunch, we went to Frisch's Big boy, for probably 10 years in a row for lunch on Thanksgiving.

[Ryan Lemon]

Wow. Was that special?

[Drew Franklin]

It was special, yeah. The cheeseburger and onion rings. Oh, boy. None.

[Ryan Lemon]

None.

[Drew Franklin]

None. Well, because nothing's open on Thanksgiving. That's why we started going there. It was like the only restaurant open on Thanksgiving.

[Matt Jones]

I think I've only been there like once. I don't have a strong connection to it. I think more of like Austin Powers.

[Ryan Lemon]

With the Big Boy thing.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

I was thinking, I don't think I've ever eaten at a Big Boy.

[Drew Franklin]

Really.

[Ryan Lemon]

I can't think of when I would have. I did like the old school. Perkins.

[Drew Franklin]

Yes.

[Ryan Lemon]

Right. And I would sometimes go to Denny's or Waffle House. But, like, I just never thought about Big Boy as a place I would go.

[Josh]

Clearly, neither did anyone else. That's why they're closing.

[Ryan Lemon]

And then you went there for Thanksgiving.

[Drew Franklin]

That was it. Once a year.

[Ryan Lemon]

Where did you go for Christmas, sir?

[Matt Jones]

Pizza.

[Drew Franklin]

There's. There was a Chinese restaurant on the north side.

[Ryan Lemon]

I've been to Chinese restaurants for.

[Drew Franklin]

Because they're open on Christmas day.

[Ryan Lemon]

It would be open on Christmas night.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

There you go. All kinds. You learn more about Ryan and it becomes more disturbing.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm just trying to be more consistent every single time.

[Ryan Lemon]

[Ryan Lemon]

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio 859-280-2287. There's people telling me the first Olivia and Joe may have broken off their engagement. But no one knows because Joe does not talk about his private life.

[Drew Franklin]

So when I ask him that question in the news covers today, he's not going to answer me.

[Ryan Lemon]

He may not answer you. I get that. I wouldn't if I was job or I. You don't talk about who. Who you. Who you date. Right. Like yeah, you keep that to yourself. That's the. It's like why people should be able to. But people are going to be interested. That's just the whole nature of. Of the world.

[Matt Jones]

I think her saying she's employed also just makes it.

[Ryan Lemon]

Makes it weird. Makes it a little weird. A couple things. First of all, Beer knows our remote Friday. The big Louisville Remote for UK UofL is Friday at Beer knows. What's the address?

[Drew Franklin]

It's the one in Indiana. Shannon, you know the. You got that address?

[Ryan Lemon]

There's a couple of them in Indiana.

[Josh]

I mean I can. I can look it up.

[Ryan Lemon]

We'll figure out. But we have somebody let me know. We have our big UK U of L remote. Even though the game is in Lexington. We're doing our Louisville remote. It's technically in southern Indiana, but we call it our Louisville remote. This is one of our favorite ones usually and it's a good chance for us to celebrate the UK basketball thing. We may keep key emphasis on May. May have a surprise Speaking Lee of May. Speaking of may have a surprise if Kentucky wins Saturday. I will just say to you, keep Sunday afternoon open if you're in the Lexington area.

[Drew Franklin]

What a tease.

[Ryan Lemon]

So I can't say why, but if we win, something may happen Sunday afternoon that you would like.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay.

[Ryan Lemon]

But you have to keep this. This is going to be a number of times during the year. If we win Saturday, something may happen Sunday.

[Drew Franklin]

Okay.

[Ryan Lemon]

Does that make sense for big games? The Arkansas game, the Auburn game, the Alabama game, handful of those. But we have to win first at.

[Drew Franklin]

The win only after.

[Ryan Lemon]

You have to be able to tune in immediately to know if we win Drew, what would then happen on Sunday?

[Matt Jones]

I'm picking up with what you're putting down. Is the beer knows remote. The longest running remote. It has to be in the conversation.

[Ryan Lemon]

It is. The beer nose remote is the first remote we ever did. And Ryan was scared.

[Drew Franklin]

Scared to death.

[Ryan Lemon]

Had his back turned to the audience because he was Too nervous to.

[Drew Franklin]

He was like, I believe there are people showing up to sit and listen to us watch us talk.

[Ryan Lemon]

You were so nervous. It was so funny. You, you literally. You had been on television for 20 years and you couldn't look at a group of people and talk to them without getting nervous.

[Drew Franklin]

On tv you're just in a studio with like three people. That was a room full of people just sitting there and watching us talk. It was weird. It was really weird feeling.

[Matt Jones]

Did you rip your shirt off in front of those.

[Ryan Lemon]

So that is Friday. Also Friday in Georgetown. We're having OVW wrestling at Country Boy. And Shannon, the dude will be in the ring on Friday.

[Josh]

That's right. I will be there, ready to go. I'm sure it's going to be a sold out crowd because, you know, when I'm there, I always sell out the arena that we go to. So I'm looking forward to it.

[Ryan Lemon]

Do you. I didn't realize you. They're there for you.

[Josh]

They are, yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

People in Georgetown are not happy with Shannon with what he said in the past to him. So they may show up ready to kick your ass.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. So that's Friday night. And by the way, if you've never been, this would be a good one. I have some people coming to from England to see this. Exact. They're coming all the way to England to be there to watch. To watch it. Country boy, Friday night. So that's Friday night. So Friday day you got the remote Louisville, and then you got the Country Boy wrestling at night. Who's up next? Freebird, Freebird, how are you?

[Caller]

Hey, guys. Glad you all made it back safely on your cowboy trip. You had a caller yesterday talking about how difficult. And you were talking about this, man, how difficult our basketball schedule is.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Caller]

In comparison. In comparison. How would you all rate the difficulty of our basketball schedule and just this past year of football and next year's football schedule in difficulty?

[Ryan Lemon]

I think this, I think they're very similar. Honestly, Drew, in football. Our football schedule, you know, we had at the end of the year the second hardest schedule in the country behind Georgia. It was Georgia 1, US 2. Difference is we had to play Georgia and they had to play us. So that makes it a little bit harder in some ways. Basketball, you know, five of the top 10 teams in the country right now are in the top 10. So I think they're very similar. I think if you, you know, I'd have to sit there and break it down to see what's harder, but they're very similar.

[Matt Jones]

Next year's football schedule is brutal. I mean, this one was hard, but we're just flipping it. So, you know, you're going to Louisville and South Carolina. What you call, like, the swing games that you think you should win are now the road games. And then you have going to Vandy. You have Arch Manning coming to Lexington, DJ Lagway coming to Lexington, and, you know, playing Ole Miss again. South Carolina, we saw how improved they are, and they're paying Stewart 1.5 million to come tackle quarterbacks again. Every team. The SEC is getting better. And the way it got flipped makes it even harder next year.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, I mean, and there's a good chance some players who played here are going to be coming into Kroger Field next year. I mean, we got a couple teams on the schedule that, you know, I think Georgia going after Dane. Ole Miss I think is going after Barion and Dane. You got, you know, there's. It could be a really difficult year next year for Stoops. In a year that I think he's got to win. I don't think he can just, you know, get by.

[Matt Jones]

This was the year to beat in Auburn. They were down. Now you got to go to Auburn and you assume they'll be a little improved. It's just so much harder across the board.

[Doug Gottlieb]

That's it.

[Ryan Lemon]

Those.

[Drew Franklin]

Those four home games, South Carolina, Auburn, Vandy, three of the four, you should have won those at home this year. Now you got to go on the road next year and play at their place. When you got Ole Miss, Tennessee, Texas coming here, Next year's football schedule is.

[Ryan Lemon]

And then Louisville, I mean, Louisville, you gotta go there. I mean, that's a lot different than playing them here. So, like, it is a very difficult schedule. Did you watch, by the way, the Journey video?

[Matt Jones]

I did. They're getting a little long, I'll admit. I did a little fast forwarding to.

[Ryan Lemon]

The action a little.

[Matt Jones]

They're fully full feature documentaries now, but I loved it. I loved it.

[Ryan Lemon]

So, yeah, they basically did behind the scenes of the Gonzaga game. Here would be my advice for the people that do that video. It looks amazing.

[Drew Franklin]

It is.

[Ryan Lemon]

And it's very cool. Less of the basketball highlights and more of the everything else.

[Drew Franklin]

That's what we want to see.

[Ryan Lemon]

Like, it's 15 minutes, 11 minutes of which are basketball highlights. I've already watched those, like, 10 times. Right. I want to see what you have that I can't see, which is the locker room, the huddles, the pregame that I think they spend a little too much Time showing me the game, which I've seen. What I did think was fascinating about it was the halftime locker room.

[Drew Franklin]

It was cool.

[Ryan Lemon]

So they show them at halftime. And if you haven't seen this, you should go look. First person that talks is Lamont Butler. Second person that talks is Jackson Robinson. And they both are. Lamont is like coaching saying, you know, we need to do this. Go under the ball screen over all this stuff. Jackson Robinson. It was like Jackson Robinson necessarily didn't 100% even think we were going to win. He was like, we just need to make sure we go play and don't embarrass ourselves. But I did like seeing those two dudes be the leader. And then Mark Pope came in, made some adjustments. It was very cool for me, Drew, to see that, to see the locker room part of that, the halftime is.

[Matt Jones]

The best part of all these. That's why I ran to the video as soon as it went up. But also, like how the players narrate them. So the beginning is Andrew Carr kind of setting it up. They have these kind of lengthy interviews with each player, which reveals even more. It's not in the moment, but that's them kind of reflecting on how it went. You're just seeing so much of the coaching and how smart these players. Yeah, Carr was another one with Butler at halftime. Those guys are going to be coaches eventually. It is Carr sounds like Mark Pope.

[Ryan Lemon]

And it is very good to see your best. I've said this for years. If you've listened this show, your best players have to be your leaders. You cannot, you know, and I don't blame this kid. He was trying to help. But like two years ago, Severe Wheeler, three years ago was trying to be our leader and he wasn't our best player. Our best players are our leaders this year. And I think that helps a lot.

[Drew Franklin]

They got to respect those guys.

[Ryan Lemon]

You got to be. You got to be the best dude for the other guys to listen to you. We're going to take a break. Barry backs KSI. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio here live at KS Bar and Grill. Pregame show, 5:30 today. Come on in before you head out to the game. You expect a good crowd today.

[Drew Franklin]

The crowds have not disappointed from football season into the early basketball season. The home crowds have been great. So, yeah, I think we'll have another good crowd.

[Ryan Lemon]

Ohio State representative Drew Josh Williams today introduced the Ohio Sportsmanship Act. Would you like to know what that means? I have a guess it makes it a felony offense if you plant a flag at the center of Ohio State Stadium.

[Matt Jones]

Figured that's where we.

[Ryan Lemon]

A felony.

[Matt Jones]

It's embarrassing.

[Drew Franklin]

Little, little, little much there.

[Ryan Lemon]

That's an embarrassment.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, it is.

[Ryan Lemon]

That's an embarrassment. Ohio State. Josh Williams should be ashamed. Absolute embarrassment. To try to make a felony.

[Drew Franklin]

Felony.

[Ryan Lemon]

Planting a flag. First of all, I think there'd be first amendment grounds there too. I think maybe it would hold up. But Shannon, how soft and lame is that?

[Josh]

Extremely lame. How about you just don't. And if you do, you just gotta deal with it. It's like saying you can't taunt me because I lost a game.

[Doug Gottlieb]

It's.

[Ryan Lemon]

That's what they're gonna do next week. It's weak. That's the weakest thing. If I'm an Ohio State fan, I'm embarrassed that they would do that. I'm embarrassed to speak Michigan.

[Matt Jones]

And if you don't deal with the consequences.

[Ryan Lemon]

You were 20 point favorite.

[Drew Franklin]

Beat them in your home field.

[Matt Jones]

I gotta go boohoo and write a law.

[Drew Franklin]

Do not put your on my field. And they couldn't even poke it in the field because of the turf.

[Ryan Lemon]

Artificial turf.

[Matt Jones]

I'd find something other. If it's just written as a flag, I'd find something else to put on the field if I want. Yeah, I'd put spray paint them on the field.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. Or just put a big old doll on there that says eat it Ohio State. Well, I mean I, that's. There are very few things I've seen lamer than making it a felony.

[Drew Franklin]

If you're an Ohio State fan though, do you want you. Do you support that guy and wanted him?

[Ryan Lemon]

You know what I think would be funnier is if Ohio State were to win, put their flag in the field and then they get arrested.

[Matt Jones]

Does he clear? Is it opposing flags only?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, but then that's viewpoint discrimination. You can't do that. Yeah, I just, I, when I saw that, I was like, if I was an Ohio State fan, I would be absolutely mortified that this dude was that one.

[Matt Jones]

Everybody's moved on. I've already forgotten that they played that game. And now Ohio State fans will get to be made fun of a little bit more for continuing.

[Ryan Lemon]

That's a really good point. Yes. That will be exactly what we do. Who's up next?

[Josh]

Johnny.

[Ryan Lemon]

Johnny. 859-280-2287. Go ahead.

[Caller]

Hey guys. Well, you kind of touched on what my original question was going to be and that's if you thought Travis Perry was going to get some run tonight. Considering our point guard situation, I think he Will.

[Ryan Lemon]

I think he'll get. I think he'll actually get real run. I think they'll put him in. In real minutes in the middle of the game. I think they got to see if they have a guy who can give them backup point guard minutes, not just tonight, but throughout the rest of the year. Because. Because Kerr is going to be out until at least February probably, so you need to at least try.

[Caller]

Yeah, for sure. I think that if Travis can give us those minutes and I feel a lot better moving forward with the crease of injury, my second question would be, do you think Stoops and his staff will spend any time trying to re recruit some of our guys that have put their name in the portal or do you think they're just going to wash their hands of it?

[Ryan Lemon]

I think, and this is just my take. I appreciate the call. This is just the feeling I get from talking to people on the staff. Of all the guys they've lost, the only one that they really would like to keep and that they would like move mountains to try to keep is Dane. And you feel like that ship has sailed, right?

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, I feel that way. I mean, like I said, he gave his heart and soul for three years of that school. Gave everything he had. You know, name was played. Try a different scenario.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. So if they can't get Dane back, then I would be surprised, Drew, if they made any real effort for any of the rest. You know, I mean, I think what 19 guys have transferred. I think 16 of them they told to go.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, yeah, this needed to happen. If everybody wants them to change the locker room, you can't bring everyone back.

[Ryan Lemon]

And just snap your fingers and be done. I think 16 of them they told to go. I think danky they would. They definitely wanted and offered to have him come back. That's obviously not happening. I think they would have taken Keeshan Silver back, but they felt like he was going to make a lot more money than they were willing to pay somewhere else. And then, you know, if Barry on was like, please let me come back, they probably would have, but I don't think they were going to make a huge effort to do it. Would you agree with that?

[Drew Franklin]

Those are the only three that really played significant minutes outside of wimps. It if you wanted. You wanted him to be your backup quarterback for Qatar. Rest of the guys, yeah, didn't get on the field a whole lot, but.

[Ryan Lemon]

I think they feel like they need to get a quarterback who would compete for the starting job. Even though I think Cutter has the inside And I'm not sure if they thought Gavin was that maybe. So. So I. So, no, I don't think there would be a huge. A huge thing. What do you think? Bill Belichick? What's going on with, like, they said.

[Drew Franklin]

It'S happening, isn't it?

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, is it? They said he accepted his job, but then it's like there's not been an announcement.

[Matt Jones]

I saw someone tweet, this is like the Tennessee search in 2017, which I haven't followed it closely, but seen that tweet, maybe wonder if there's a lot of pushback.

[Ryan Lemon]

What's going on?

[Drew Franklin]

I don't know. I thought it was happening.

[Ryan Lemon]

He won't succeed, Willie. Like he's like 99.

[Matt Jones]

He's got his nice young girlfriend.

[Ryan Lemon]

He could be. I mean, he does have a 24 year old girlfriend. I don't know that that's going to make it better for him at that school.

[Matt Jones]

It seems like he's just trying to set his son up because it's got some kind of clause that his son takes over. But would you really just go for.

[Ryan Lemon]

A year and would you want that? Let's say this was us. Okay? Let's say Mark had left Bill Belichick, you could have him. But he says in three years you have to have my kid. Coach, would you want that?

[Matt Jones]

I wouldn't even want him anyway. He's too old. You gotta recruit, raise money. I know he's a legend, but no, I would not want that scenario where we're just taking his son in a couple years.

[Drew Franklin]

I'd be good. I'd go for it.

[Ryan Lemon]

You'd want it if you got Bill.

[Drew Franklin]

Belichick for three years, one of the greatest coaches in the history of football at your school? Yeah, I'm doing it.

[Ryan Lemon]

I would want it. But I'm not taking his stupid kid.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, that's a little tricky.

[Ryan Lemon]

Like there's no kidding stupid kid. I mean, I don't want his kid. What am I gonna do with this kid?

[Drew Franklin]

Maybe he's a good coach.

[Ryan Lemon]

He has a mullet. Have you seen his kid?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, he could be a coach. A good coach.

[Ryan Lemon]

We're waiting to shine. I mean, there's a lot of people that could be a good coach. I don't want. I don't want his kid. I could be talked into having him. Although I don't think that's gonna work either.

[Matt Jones]

I don't want him either. He'll be 73 next year.

[Drew Franklin]

73. He still got some good coaching in.

[Ryan Lemon]

Him, but he's Also never coached in college.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, doesn't know anything about the recruiting world or the nil world or anything.

[Ryan Lemon]

They said he gave them a 400 page manifesto.

[Drew Franklin]

400 pages?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yes, he said he had a 400 page manifesto of what he would do. Do you think that would help if you saw 400 pages?

[Drew Franklin]

I ain't reading it. I may read the first page, but I'm not going to read 400 pages.

[Ryan Lemon]

I don't think it's required that you read it. I think they.

[Matt Jones]

If you're hiring him, I think you can.

[Drew Franklin]

I don't think I'd. I do that. No, I don't think I'd read it even if I was hiring him.

[Ryan Lemon]

So if I showed up to you with a 400 page thing for like the most important job you would hire for, you would just throw it in the trash.

[Drew Franklin]

I'd read the first page and then.

[Josh]

Put it down, make sure it's proper spacing. That's about it.

[Ryan Lemon]

When I was in high school, there was a girl I went to school with who was convinced that one of our teachers did not read her papers. Just gave her a good grade because she was a good writer. And we had to do like a 10 page paper and she wrote the first page and then put like eight pages from Gone with the Wind pages two through nine and then had a conclusion and got an A. Wow.

[Matt Jones]

Mario, you listen, you gotta watch out for these.

[Ryan Lemon]

These are the things you have to watch out for. Although it won't work because I'm going to grade their papers. But that was. And she had like a nut. She, she actually did it as a test. She had an actual paper, but she wanted to see do they grade these? And that's what she did.

[Drew Franklin]

I think Shagari thought the same thing when he turned his Wukosh orbzu.

[Ryan Lemon]

I don't think it's quite the same thing. Shagari literally wrote his name in pen and just turned in woozpaper.

[Matt Jones]

Cut off the top. Cut off, cut off the top, had a shorter page.

[Ryan Lemon]

That's, that's one of the more ridiculous things. Hey Ryan, this Christmas give the gift of sizzle and delight.

[Drew Franklin]

How can I do that?

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. Katz and Colgate play 8:00 tonight, a little bit later than usual.

[Drew Franklin]

Kind of a weird 8 o'clock game on a Wednesday night. Yeah, but we'll be here.

[Ryan Lemon]

We'll be ready. What time? What station is that game?

[Matt Jones]

ESPN2.

[Ryan Lemon]

ESPN2. So we're getting some national coverage here.

[Drew Franklin]

I get Tom Hart must be doing the game. He sent out a picture of him landing over Calumet Farm in an airplane.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, he's doing the game.

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, hello to Tom, wherever you, wherever you are. One person writes, Matt Belichick's 10 years younger than our current president, six years younger than our incoming president. Why could he not be a good coach? I mean, that's a fair point. But he also, his job is going to be to have to deal with young people, which I think is the part. Like, I still think he can coach. He's great on television. The question is, can you deal with these college kids that are 19 and 20? That's a different thing.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Starting something brand new for him at that age is a little different than if he were just taking another NFL job. And whoever is next, I'd like a little youth and some energy.

[Drew Franklin]

How old is he?

[Matt Jones]

He'll be 73. When.

[Drew Franklin]

And how's his girlfriend?

[Matt Jones]

24.

[Ryan Lemon]

24.

[Drew Franklin]

Doing something right?

[Ryan Lemon]

What's wrong with you?

[Josh]

He knows how to manage young people.

[Ryan Lemon]

It's true. He probably has to deal with younger more than most people do.

[Matt Jones]

Maybe we're looking at this wrong.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, we should have. Maybe we should have looked at that differently.

[Josh]

Who's up next Doug.

[Ryan Lemon]

Doug. Go ahead, Doug.

[Caller]

Hey, guys, it's Doug in Spokane. I just wanted to say glad you guys got home safe and thanks for a good time at Buckley's and Atlas last weekend.

[Matt Jones]

It was incredible.

Sure if Ryan shared that Washington bourbon with you guys.

We did. We had to. We had to do it while we were there or they did because we couldn't take it on the plane.

[Drew Franklin]

Right, Take it on the plane. We couldn't take it out of the establishment then back into it. So we had to keep it there.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Caller]

Oh, okay.

[Matt Jones]

Awesome.

[Caller]

Good deal.

[Matt Jones]

All right, guys.

[Caller]

Thanks.

[Ryan Lemon]

Appreciate. Appreciate the call. Really. Were you impressed with how many Kentucky fans were in Seattle for that game?

[Drew Franklin]

Blew me away. Blew me away that we overtook Buckley's restaurant. It has a line out the door. And then we show up at this little sports bar to do the post game show and overtook it. Just Kentucky fans everywhere.

[Matt Jones]

I was impressed with how many weren't from the. What is that, northwest? Yeah, a lot of people were from Kentucky. Met people from Minnesota.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, a lot of people.

[Matt Jones]

Just get a lot of people from that end of the country.

[Ryan Lemon]

I think a lot of people saw this is my one chance to go watch them, to go out there. I wouldn't go out there otherwise, so that's why I'm doing it.

[Matt Jones]

That's what surprised me more than just the overall numbers. I thought we'd get a lot a local, but not. Didn't expect as many people.

[Drew Franklin]

They were outnumbered in the arena, like, you know, 80% to 20%, but yet our 20% got very loud. You know, you could hear go big blue chance throughout the game.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. Who's up next?

[Josh]

Pete.

I'm trying very hard to follow football. I don't have any friends that know anything about it that they all seem to know anything about, but they don't. Yeah, I like the technical stuff, and I'm trying to learn.

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, you are. You are. We are your friend, and we like it, so. But. But. But I hope you. I hope you continue to. To enjoy.

[J]

Yeah. Well, I'm saving up to come to a game next year, so. Be my first, you know, game for uk. I had an unfortunate experience in. In Western Kentucky, watching my first game of gridiron, and I had a bit of an argument with the coach and.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, you did?

[Ryan Lemon]

Okay.

[J]

Well, he. He. He walked onto the field, right. And coaches, I don't know on the playing field, started yelling at his team, and then he started swearing at him. These are the high school kids, so.

[Ryan Lemon]

That'S what Ryan Lemons like. So I can. That's kind of a normal thing, unfortunately, but. Well, I appreciate the call.

[J]

He was the coach.

[Ryan Lemon]

Thank you very much for listening.

[J]

[Ryan Lemon]

I like that guy. Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Big fan of him. Big.

Okay. You sounded like you were from the ma. You said Ireland.

[Drew Franklin]

[Ryan Lemon]

A lot of horse guy from Ireland.

[Drew Franklin]

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, for sure. Did you. I know you've. Over the years, you've been mean about. About Taylor Swift. Did you see what she did for her. The people that work for.

[Drew Franklin]

I haven't seen this. Is this gonna make me like her?

[Ryan Lemon]

I would hope so. For the people who drive the trucks.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

Who set up the stage. And for her dancers. She gave them a $200 million bonus for her tour that she went on.

[Drew Franklin]

My.

[Ryan Lemon]

Couple of the truck drivers showed notes where she said something like, thank you for your hard work this year. Here is your bonus of $100,000. Wow.

[Drew Franklin]

That's pretty impressive.

[Ryan Lemon]

Isn't that amazing?

[Drew Franklin]

She speaks highly of her as a person.

[Ryan Lemon]

Don't you think that's amazing?

[Matt Jones]

I saw a guy tweet that his dad's one of the drivers and. And he's going to college now.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. One of them said, yes, my dad is paying for my college because of the bonus for Taylor. Taylor Swift. I think that's extremely nice. She doesn't have to do that.

[Caller]

Shannon.

[Ryan Lemon]

I'm not saying I'm sure there are other musicians that do it, but $200.

[Josh]

Million, that's a lot of money. How much money is she bringing in? I guess billions.

[Ryan Lemon]

I think they said it was $2 billion is how much her tour made.

[Drew Franklin]

That's still awesome for her to recognize those folks that, you know, traveled across the country for her and even in, you know, overseas to do her concert.

[Josh]

I'll settle for a thousand dollar. Just give me a thousand.

[Drew Franklin]

I'll settle for ten.

[Ryan Lemon]

Thousand.
