[Ryan Lemon]

Ready.

[Shannon The Dude]

Let's start. Drew. The National Bobblehead Museum.

[Drew Franklin]

I'll let someone else send me a postcard from there. I don't think I need to know.

[Shannon The Dude]

On the National Bobblehead Museum.

[Drew Franklin]

Not. Not during NCAA tournament weekend. I'll be busy.

[Shannon The Dude]

So no on that. Ryan.

[Matt Jones]

No, I don't want to go to a bobblehead museum.

[Shannon The Dude]

No on the bobblehead museum.

[Ryan Lemon]

We're all a no on that.

[Shannon The Dude]

All right, well, I'm trying.

[Ryan Lemon]

Games going on.

[Shannon The Dude]

How about the Jeffrey Dahmer walking tour?

[Ryan Lemon]

God.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, my.

[Ryan Lemon]

I forgot about that. He is from Milwaukee.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

Or was.

[Matt Jones]

That's a hard pass on me too, Drew.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, that's a. That's a no for me.

[Shannon The Dude]

Boy, you guys cannot be pleased in this place. Right? How about Shakers, One of the three most haunted bars in America.

[Ryan Lemon]

They got the game on.

[Shannon The Dude]

I don't know, but it is bar that has been said to be the most haunted of any drinking establishment in America. It is in Milwaukee.

[Matt Jones]

I'd be good with.

[Ryan Lemon]

As long as they got the game on, I'm good. I just want a beer and the games.

[Shannon The Dude]

You all were all scared of ghosts. You want to go into a bar that's a haunted bar?

[Ryan Lemon]

Sure, I'll go. I ain't haunted.

[Matt Jones]

Hotel that one night.

[Shannon The Dude]

We like to say.

[Drew Franklin]

I feel like that one's speaking to me. I used to have a ghost. I like a good beer. I will check that one out.

[Shannon The Dude]

All right, so now we. So now we have. We have one thing that we're all going to. We're going to go get Burke burgers at Cops, right? And then. And then go to the haunted bar. We know we're going to do those things.

[Drew Franklin]

I have two of my own recommendations. Having. Also, the old historic Pabst Beer distillery is really cool. They give tours. It was a lot of fun. You can spend a couple hours there.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

And they have a big area called the Milwaukee Public Market. There's different restaurants in it at a really good brunch and some seafood there. So I recommend that as well.

[Shannon The Dude]

See, look. All kinds of good suggestions for all of you making the trip to Milwaukee. Plus, it's a Friday Sunday, so you can get up there a little bit. It'll. A little bit later. I think it'll. I think it'll be good. 859-280-2287. I'm going to get to the. To the phones here in just a second. Let me. I do want to. Ryan, you know, I. People sometimes, like, a little behind the scenes of this of, like the ESPN place. Like, I don't know about you, but, like, Shannon, you and I talked about this when we were kids. Like, it seemed like the coolest place on the right to be in this building. It's still. Ryan, you came. It's an office park. You know what I mean? Like, it's not. It's not where you think it is. It's in the middle of a field in the middle of nowhere, you know?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. I always thought it was like Disney World, just lights and whistles and bells and everything going off, and it was. It is just an office building is all it is.

[Shannon The Dude]

It's just a massive office complex in the middle of a small town in Connecticut. And you. You could. You can come here. I mean, like, they all. They give tours and stuff, but when you come in there, it is cool. You can walk by these sets. You know, Drew, there's a room, the sports center room, where like, probably 50 to 75 producers are each in charge of a game and they're breaking down highlights. When I was a kid, I probably would have thought that's the coolest job you could have on earth. You know what I mean? To just sit there and watch games and make them into highlights.

[Drew Franklin]

Sound like work. Sounds like fun.

[Shannon The Dude]

It does sound like fun, doesn't it? You also. The one thing that's made me sad, Shannon, you remember baseball Tonight?

[Ryan Lemon]

I was going to bring this up, that field that was there.

[Shannon The Dude]

So baseball tonight, they have a studio, and from where you walk, you can look down on baseball tonight. I remember the first time I came here, it was, like, magical. You look down on baseball tonight, and it had a field. You know, their studio was a field. Here's the thing, though. You know, that show doesn't exist anymore, and I walked by it yesterday, and Shannon will break your heart. The field is still there, but they're using it for, like, storage of box.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, we got to bring back baseball tonight.

[Shannon The Dude]

It's one of the sadder things, Carl Ravage like that. Like. Like, literally, it's like. It's like a storage area, but it still has the field from baseball tonight.

[Ryan Lemon]

So that means, you know, in theory, they could still bring it back.

[Shannon The Dude]

In theory, they could. There's something about it when I walked by that it was sad to me.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, that's the thing that really stuck out, you know, in my mind from. From that visit was just looking down and seeing the field and how cool that was. Now you're telling me it's sad now.

[Shannon The Dude]

It is. It's actually a little bit sad. So that's the only bummer. You know, this is only my second time being here since COVID and that was the one thing that kind of stood out the most. Who's up next?

[Ryan Lemon]

Peggy.

[Shannon The Dude]

Peggy. Go ahead, Peggy. Happy St. Patrick's Day, guys. Oh, that's right.

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Shannon The Dude]

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you. Well, y'all touched on most everything I was going to talk about, but last night, listening to everybody break down the brackets and stuff, I don't think any of them realized to. Myron brought it up this morning that Lamont Butler is back and in full swing. Yeah. That no one is picking us, Peggy. I mean, this is. We don't have the burden of expectation. Yeah. I mean, nobody likes. Everybody was picking Kentucky only to win one, maybe two games, but because they didn't realize Lamont was back. Yeah, Well, I think that's. I think that's probably true, Peggy, and it's good to hear from you. Appreciate your call. Let's say we get LAMONT and he's 100% Drew. Where does that put us in your mind? Like, you like us to get to elite 8 sweet 16 if. Let's say Lamont's fully healthy?

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, yeah. I would expect it at that point. It's just been so obvious, the difference in Kentucky's defense when he's on the court or on the bench. They didn't have him at Texas. We saw how that went. I think if he's. If he's able to play and be at 100% or at least close to it, I fully expect and think they should win that first game and whoever's in the second game and then we'll see what happens from there. But he just. He takes them to another level, and having him is a big. Going to be very important.

[Shannon The Dude]

So are we. I mean, Ryan, are we as healthy as we. I know Trent. Noah had, like, was sick, but hopefully he'll be fine. Like, is there. Is there any. Are we healthy now or as healthy as we're going to be?

[Matt Jones]

Well, I mean, there was also. Andrew Carr would spend a lot of time on the bike in the Alabama game. Has. You know, I haven't heard anything that.

[Shannon The Dude]

Was just for exercise and health.

[Ryan Lemon]

The thing that everybody has been asking online is about cycle. Travis Perry. Is there anything about Travis?

[Shannon The Dude]

But. But, I mean, what was the. I. I kept seeing people asking Me about the Travis Perry rumor, but I never saw who's. What the rumor was or who it came from.

[Ryan Lemon]

That was. That was a shooting hand.

[Shannon The Dude]

But who said that?

[Ryan Lemon]

I don't know. Again, that's just what everybody's.

[Shannon The Dude]

That's the thing is, like, I kept seeing people say that there was a rumor, but then I never saw the rumor.

[Ryan Lemon]

The rumor was there was an injury to his shooting hand.

[Shannon The Dude]

I know, but who said that?

[Ryan Lemon]

I don't know where it first came.

[Shannon The Dude]

From, but, I mean, doesn't that matter? I mean, like, doesn't the original.

[Ryan Lemon]

You said you don't know the rumor.

[Shannon The Dude]

It's. Without the original source. I mean, I could. You could just say anything. Like, I'm not saying it's true or not true. I have no idea. I've not heard that. He was at the thing yesterday. Did he. I don't think he had a brace on. Did he. I didn't see it.

[Drew Franklin]

One of the anonymous accounts that does memes and stuff, they put it up, like, from a source. I think they've had. They've hit on some injury news in the past. That's. That's where I think it originated.

[Shannon The Dude]

So there. It's an anonymous UK account.

[Drew Franklin]

Big Blue Bud, I think, was the first to report it.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay. Well, okay, I know what that account is. I mean, I guess I get. But, like, did he have anything on his hand yesterday? I didn't notice anything.

[Drew Franklin]

There was a moment in the Alabama game where it looked like he kind of landed on. Landed awkwardly, but we never got a report out of that.

[Shannon The Dude]

I don't remember playing.

[Drew Franklin]

I think he could continue to play, but I'm just. If we're going to give any credibility to it. To Big Blue Butt here. It.

[Shannon The Dude]

Did anybody ask Pope yesterday?

[Ryan Lemon]

You're the only one that talked to Pope.

[Shannon The Dude]

Well, I didn't know about. I didn't know about Big Blue Bud's thing until late last night because everybody kept asking me, and I was like, where is this from? And I didn't even know it was from. From Bud. Every time I hear Bud, I think of the Cosby show when he. Bud. Bud. So I don't. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I assume, I guess. Will Pope do another media. Like somebody can ask. I will say that's not an injury, Drew. That I think would change the trajectory of the team. Do you. If Lamont's healthy, Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

I mean, it'd be laughable that yet another player is injured on this team.

[Matt Jones]

And another point guard.

[Shannon The Dude]

Crazy.

[Drew Franklin]

But as long as you're getting full Butler. I going Butler to Chandler is plenty. Yeah, yeah. But it would be ridiculous with Noah's now sick. Ortega always face is still split in half. Robinson's out, curves out. You know, it's ridiculous.

[Shannon The Dude]

Has anyone not been hurt? Our bigs are like the only guys that haven't been.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, don't jinx them. Don't jinx Even Colin Chandler had blood ripping down his face in the first game. It's Oklahoma.

[Drew Franklin]

Colin got split open.

[Shannon The Dude]

By the way, I do have to say before we go the phone Friday, that pregame show, Ryan at. At Tin Roof. Have we ever had a wilder environment for a. For a KSR show before than that pregame show at 10 Roof Friday night?

[Matt Jones]

I told you guys during the show, I said, this is the hardest show we've ever had to do because it was a zoo in there for that pregame show. It was total chaos.

[Ryan Lemon]

That woman still trying to get the TV turned over on the right people.

[Shannon The Dude]

Who don't know if you didn't hear the show. This woman came up to the stage during the show and just asked me to turn the television to a different game. And, like, legitimately, A, thought I could and B, thought I would stop the show to make sure I turned the game on.

[Ryan Lemon]

She was oblivious that you were even doing a show. She just thought you were up there talking to yourself with a headset on.

[Matt Jones]

She kept screaming, you're in charge. You're in charge.

[Shannon The Dude]

Turn the channel.

[Ryan Lemon]

Where is your universal remote?

[Shannon The Dude]

She kept acting like it was, first of all, my bar, like I was in charge of the Tin Roof. And then she kept saying, like, you know, turn it. And I kept. I just kept looking at her like, what are you talking about, ma'am? I'm doing a show. And she just kept doing it. And by the way, I never turned it because of Shannon. I didn't have the ability to turn.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, the BAC level was high on that one.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

I think Morgan from Tin Roof told me after, he goes, this is like what it used to be in the old Cal's early days. We started doing our show. There he goes. It felt good to get back to that level of craziness again.

[Shannon The Dude]

Oh, it was definitely that crazy. Part of it was everybody was hammered. I mean, absolutely hammered. Can I also say, on Saturday night, Drew, I actually had fun at the Kid Rock Bar, which is something I never thought I would say.

[Drew Franklin]

Why are you laughing, Mario? Mario just started laughing as soon as you said Kid Rock Bar.

[Matt Jones]

Were you with him?

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, it was a great time I gave Kid Rock more money than I care to admit.

[Shannon The Dude]

I have to say. I was. I was not drinking whiskey from the bottle, but there were people doing it. My group was insane. I don't know what Mario's laughing about. Mario hit another level as well. I mean, Mario. I learned. Only human being I've ever seen. Shannon can't blow bubbles. Really does not have the ability to blow bubbles. Someone there had a little bubble thing. He physically cannot blow bubbles, which I don't know how that happens. I don't. He never learned it, I guess. Have you ever met a person who couldn't blow a bubble?

[Ryan Lemon]

No. No.

[Matt Jones]

Not only, like skill they taught you.

[Shannon The Dude]

Like. Like blowing through the little hole that has the stuff. Couldn't do it.

[Ryan Lemon]

Couldn't do it. I don't understand how you can't do that.

[Shannon The Dude]

He just watched the video of Mario. He can't.

[Drew Franklin]

Too hard.

[Shannon The Dude]

Just can't do it. Who's next?

[Ryan Lemon]

Let's go to Mark Anthony.

[Shannon The Dude]

Mark Anthony, how are you? Hey, good morning. Matthew Ryan, Drew Shannon and Mario A fellas Matthew from a month ago. I was just hoping. Just coach, get me through the first weekend this time, please. And Lamont Butler and Andrew Carr notwithstanding, I think we can get through the first game. The second game I'm feeling pretty good about. And if we can do those two things and maybe meet a team we've already beat twice to go to the elite eight, I'm feeling great. Y'all have a good day and we'll talk to you. Appreciate the call, Mark Anthony. They always say you can't beat a team.

[Ryan Lemon]

Three times just happened.

[Shannon The Dude]

Well, Ryan, Alabama did. Yeah. So, you know, maybe you can. The Richmond Row Vet Clinic has BBN Pets.

[Matt Jones]

They kept my dogs while we were in Nashville. Matter of fact, they boarded my dogs.

[Shannon The Dude]

That was very nice.

[Matt Jones]

They got put time out.

[Shannon The Dude]

I mean, I can't believe I had fun at the Kid Rock bar. They played that song. What's that Luke Combs song. Sunday morning.

[Matt Jones]

Did you have your cowboy hat on?

[Shannon The Dude]

No. It was raining Mario Cowboy. I couldn't wear it in the rain.

[Drew Franklin]

I got a picture of Mario wearing a white cowboy hat. He was having fun.

[Shannon The Dude]

Nice. What's that song? He's, like, got a Hooters waiters number.

[Ryan Lemon]

Is it When It Rains it pours?

[Shannon The Dude]

Yes, they played that, and it was. I'm going to tell you, it was way too fun. Like, I don't know why that song was so fun, but it was. We'll be right back. See, there you go. Shannon, right?

[Ryan Lemon]

It's all right.

[Shannon The Dude]

No, I mean, I. It doesn't. It's. It's different, though, when, like, a slightly overweight man is standing on the bar playing it. It's more fun.

[Ryan Lemon]

It is, I'm sure.

[Shannon The Dude]

Just turn it up right here and you'll see what I'm saying. Like, he gets going, and then I looked over. Drew was, like, pointing at people. Mario was doing that thing where he. Where he bangs his head, you know?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, he's head banging to this.

[Shannon The Dude]

He's head banging. No, he does that thing where he, like, head bangs and then throws his arms up and down. And it's right. Here you go. And, like, everybody's going crazy. It was actually kind of fun. I didn't expect Drew. It was gonna be fun, and it was.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, I. I'm embarrassed to admit how much time I spent in that place and how much money I spent in that place, but I'd go back again, I think. You know, I don't like Kid Rock, but of all the Nashville bars, it's some of the best live music. That's why we're enjoying it, probably right.

[Shannon The Dude]

I got on the mic, Shannon said, where are all my Kamala Harris voters? No, I didn't made it out of there.

[Ryan Lemon]

If you'd done that.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, I thought about it, though. I was like, you say, done, bye.

[Ryan Lemon]

They'd be saying, bye.

[Shannon The Dude]

All right.

[Ryan Lemon]

Get out of here.

[Shannon The Dude]

Get out of here. 859-280-2287. I don't want to say this, Ryan, because I'm at espn, but I'm sitting here looking on the. Because all. I have a TV. They have these TVs in front of me, like, every channel. It is the day after the brackets, and Stephen A. Smith and Shannon Sharp and Kendrick Perkins are talking about J.B. bickerstaff, the Pistons coach, being critical of the refs after a loss to the Thunder. How are they not talking about the tournament? Read the room to see that right now. Like, the tournament. The bracket is out. People who don't even Care about sports, care about the bracket. Right. I don't understand how that's the topic today.

[Matt Jones]

The NCAA tournament. March Madness is the best thing in all of sports. The single best weeks are coming up right now. Why are you talking about some meaningless NBA game?

[Shannon The Dude]

So apparently Jack Pilgrim Drew said on. Sources say he works for a place called Kentucky Sports Radio that Perry hurt, like jammed his hand and then that's why he missed the free throws during the game, but that he would play. So there you go.

[Drew Franklin]

It's a good update. Or not a good. I guess it's kind of good update, but just one more name to the list.

[Matt Jones]

How many more point guards are we going to get hurt this season?

[Shannon The Dude]

Well, Darby Shire's hurt and then Walker Horn.

[Ryan Lemon]

Walker Horns out the kid.

[Shannon The Dude]

Madisonville. He's going to. He's got a hang. Put him in the game one after another.

[Drew Franklin]

We won't go, Zach.

[Shannon The Dude]

All right, who's next?

[Ryan Lemon]

Let's go to Nancy.

[Shannon The Dude]

Nancy, go ahead, Nancy. Hey, guys. Okay, so I like every other Kentucky fan, we're hoping to go to Indy because I have two tickets for Friday. So I'm crossing my fingers. If we play like again, if you were at that Kentucky Louisville game in 2014, that's one of the more electric environments for a. For a postseason game. I can imagine. I don't know if Kentucky Tennessee would hit quite that, but I think it would be close. Well, let's hope they get through there. Okay, my other question is Duke and Louisville played in the tournament, the final. Who are you all cheering for? And I'll hang up and listen this year. So this year. Yes. Yeah, Saturday night. Yeah. I appreciate the call. Oh, you mean it? Oh, in the AC tournament. Okay. I thought you meant the NCAA term. I didn't really care. In the ACC tournament. I probably. I didn't care, honestly. So I probably would have slightly picked Duke, but didn't matter. Now, the NCAA tournament. Drew, I don't know. What would you do if you had to cheer in that game?

[Drew Franklin]

That's a terrible scenario. Killing the mood here. I guess I would lean Duke. I don't even like thinking about having any kind of support behind Duke. But I think against Louisville, I'd slightly go towards the Blue Devils.

[Shannon The Dude]

Listen to. I mean, again, for me, it's all about ranking of rivals, right? And right now, Louisville's always going to be number one. Tennessee is two, Duke is three. And then there's the caveat of I don't want Cal to win one at Arkansas. But I guess I'd. Ryan, I Guess I'd have to root for Duke. Right?

[Matt Jones]

It's kind of funny, the ACC championship. I was actually hoping Louisville would win, but if they meet in the NCAA tournament, I'm flipping. I'm picking Duke. Overlook.

[Ryan Lemon]

I don't want Louis. It would have to be the championship. Louisville's not going to make it out of the second round. If they get past Creighton. We don't worry about that.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, that's. That's a good question. We all are rooting for St. John. Are you rooting for St. John's just in general. Like, I'm the outrunners to beat him in the first round, but after that. After that I'm rooting for them. I mean, would you root for them all the way until. If they would had to potentially play us.

[Ryan Lemon]

I have them in my Final Four.

[Drew Franklin]

Do you really?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. I mean, I think they can make a run out of that bracket.

[Shannon The Dude]

I. If you had told me Drew Franklin three years ago, I'd be rooting for Rick Patino to make a Final Four. I thought that was crazy, but I think I am.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm the same way. I'm going to go for Omaha. As much as I want to see Cal versus Rick in round two, the outrunners and the trash can team of Omaha, I'm going to pull for them. But then for the rest of that entire region, I'm guessing the ones Florida, I don't really want. Florida.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

You know, Omaha's coaches from Hopkinsville to their head coaches from.

[Shannon The Dude]

They are. Yes. By the way, congrats to Sacred Heart, who won their 19th straight state championship this weekend. How many of that team won? I mean, I guess three in a row.

[Matt Jones]

And it's been them and GRC each year. It seems like we got to get some.

[Shannon The Dude]

We got to get some more teams involved in that. Like there's two. They win too much. No offense to Sacred Heart. I'm sure they're all wonderful people, but we just. Ryan, they got to get somebody else to win these games.

[Matt Jones]

Well, if you had the. Zakiyah Johnson's been the best player in the state last three years. Since she's a sophomore.

[Shannon The Dude]

She's now she's going to lsu, right?

[Matt Jones]

Going to lsu. Correct.

[Shannon The Dude]

All right, so it's five in a.

[Drew Franklin]

Row, not three in a row.

[Matt Jones]

Is it five?

[Drew Franklin]

That's how big the dynasty is.

[Shannon The Dude]

So next year we may get a different team. Maybe.

[Matt Jones]

Maybe.

[Drew Franklin]

Tough.

[Shannon The Dude]

I guess you don't have the scouting report for basketball team next year. Who's next?

[Ryan Lemon]

John.

[Shannon The Dude]

John. Go ahead, John.

[Matt Jones]

Hey, Matt.

[Shannon The Dude]

First time, long time. Who? What's up? Hey. Last night our church had a gathering. We were able to bring Tony Delk.

[Matt Jones]

In to kind of talk to him.

[Shannon The Dude]

About his time at uk. Can't say enough about him. He was, he was incredible. Told all kinds of incredible stories, but it got me going. A lot of nostalgia thinking about the old 96 team. And since we're in, you know, March.

[Matt Jones]

Madness, looking through the brackets, I wondered.

[Shannon The Dude]

If you guys could share maybe your favorite Tony Delk moment when he played and maybe just a moment from 96. I'll give you a good Tony dealt moment from Friday night. I snuck up behind him. He was standing on the court to give him a hard time and he just. His natural reflex, Ryan, was to like stick out his elbow and he elbow elbowed me in the ribs and I was out for the game. Still has sharp elbows at 50 years old. So that would be my memory, dude.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. The final championship game when he hit that three in the corner and he got fouled right in front of the Kentucky bench. That's. That's the Tony Dilk memory everybody has.

[Shannon The Dude]

He had his shoulders all, you know, drew. It looked like his shoulders were up at his ears when he played. But he was, he was awesome.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh, yeah. I remember for the long arms. I personally, I went to that basketball camp and I remember he's one of the first players I saw. And that's back when they're just superheroes to you. And him being very nice and good with all of us.

[Shannon The Dude]

It's a little different now because a lot more guys do it because they score more points. But for a while, he was like the most random guy to get 50 in an NBA game.

[Matt Jones]

Correct.

[Shannon The Dude]

Like, like, it was like so random. He did, but he did. We'll take a break. Right back, KSI, TJ Smith, personal injury attorney. Call tj. He'll make him pay.

[Ryan Lemon]

Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

[Shannon The Dude]

Now, Ryan, I like to keep you up with the trends.

[Matt Jones]

Yes. You're a trendy person.

[Shannon The Dude]

Oh, without question. Do you know. Turn it up Sham now. Do you know about the trend with this, Ryan? I have. I'm going to get Mario to. When we're in Milwaukee, try to get you to do this. Okay. What? There's like a video, I think from like the Fresh Prince back in the day with what was the. The young girl on the show, Tatiana Ali.

[Matt Jones]

Ali, that's correct. Yes.

[Shannon The Dude]

Right. And she's like, there's a scene that's kind of famous, where she's got her headphones on.

[Matt Jones]

Yes.

[Shannon The Dude]

And she's dancing, and she doesn't think anybody's behind her. And then Will Smith walks in and he, like, mocks her dancing. Right.

[Matt Jones]

I can do it. I've seen it. I know you're talking about. I'm all over it.

[Shannon The Dude]

Hang on just a second. You can do it.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, yeah. I can do what Will Smith was doing. Just kind of lurching forward and lurching.

[Shannon The Dude]

Back like he was a great dancer. He's not just lurching forward. He's kind of lurching his feet and he's doing other things. You think you can do that?

[Matt Jones]

Oh, yeah, I think I can do it better than he can let Ron cook.

[Shannon The Dude]

All right. I don't think that's true. How do you know the scene, by the way?

[Matt Jones]

The way, I saw something on social media last night where.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay, so you saw it, right? Yeah. So he does know the trend, Shannon. Okay, so. So that video's from a long time ago, and I guess it went viral with this song, because this is a newer song, I think, Shannon. Right.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

They were acting like this is what she was listening to now, I guess a grown up Tatiana Ali. A grown up Will Smith. And then this woman's name is, like, douchey. Is that her name?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yep. I think so.

[Matt Jones]

Gotta be careful.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. Sounds douchey to me.

[Shannon The Dude]

Is that. Is that not. Is that not her name?

[Ryan Lemon]

Or is it D, O, E, C, H, I, I, however you would pronounce that.

[Shannon The Dude]

How do you pronounce that?

[Ryan Lemon]

Doshi.

[Shannon The Dude]

Doshi. I bet it's doshi.

[Ryan Lemon]

I like your pronunciation better.

[Shannon The Dude]

I think it's probably Doji. I got. I think I got that wrong.

[Ryan Lemon]

That's okay.

[Shannon The Dude]

So doshi. And they recreate the video, and it is on pace, Ryan, to be the most liked TikTok ever in the history of all time.

[Matt Jones]

Really?

[Shannon The Dude]

So, like, everyone should know this. Even my mom should know this is about to be the most liked TikTok video of all time. And it's just them recreating this scene from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. So, Ryan, I wanted to tell you that news. I'll.

[Matt Jones]

I'll do Will Smith. You can do the young girl, and Drew can do the dancer. Doji.

[Shannon The Dude]

Doji.

[Matt Jones]

Well, all three do it.

[Drew Franklin]

I'll be douchey.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yes. So. So, Drew, most liked video of all time. It's probably going to hit that, like, tomorrow.

[Drew Franklin]

Well, if. If a TikTok lands on Ryan Lemon's radar, you know, it is really taken Off I saw Will Smith said he waited 35 years for that dance dance to start trending. So it is everywhere.

[Shannon The Dude]

Wow. I can't believe Ryan heard it. I mean Shannon, like of all that like Ryan, you don't even have Instagram.

[Matt Jones]

I have Instagram. I don't have TikTok. But I saw it. I think I saw it on Instagram last night.

[Ryan Lemon]

That's the other thing.

[Shannon The Dude]

So how did you see it?

[Matt Jones]

I think it was on my Instagram feed last night. I think if. I don't think.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay, so it got all the way to your dial up Facebook.

[Ryan Lemon]

If you had caught 24 hours ago, he would have not had a clue what you're talking about.

[Shannon The Dude]

Not a clue. It was like, wow, this must really be going okay, well so if you've never seen that then you might be just a little disconnected because it is about to become the most liked social media video of all time. There's a couple open lines, Bob, and Jamestown is on the phone Shannon. So please let's other folks get on. 859-280-22 87 Every year, Drew, there are 4 versus 13 and 5 versus 12 upsets. I think there's the potential for a lot of them this year. Is there one that will be your Drew Franklin pick?

[Drew Franklin]

I think so. And they're in the same pod. Watch out for Will Wade playing Clemson. I know we lost to Clemson but they were in the ACC where they weren't very challenged very often. And McNeese is a good team. They've got the best manager in college basketball that will hype them up.

[Shannon The Dude]

That dude's great if you haven't seen him.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I haven't officially filled out my bracket yet but that's the 12, five I've circled and right beneath it. High Point quietly has one of the best offenses in college basketball. They get like 83 points a game playing a Purdue team. We know Purdue likes to choke in March Madness so I would watch that as a 13 4.

[Shannon The Dude]

You hit mine right there. Mine is High Point over Purdue. High Point is good. I was going to pick them over anybody that wasn't us in there and they ended up getting a 13. Purdue has lost in the last few years to both fairly Dickinson and St. Peters. People forget they lost to St. Peter's the year we did Ryan. People forget that. They always think about ours. But they beat Purdue in the sweet 16. I like high Point. Another thing I'll note Ryan is that Colorado State is the 12 playing against Memphis is the 5 and they Vegas has Colorado State is the favorite.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Shannon The Dude]

Has Colorado state as a 2 1/2 point favorite in that game.

[Matt Jones]

I think most of us probably watched Memphis and UAB yesterday because it came on after the SEC championship game. They didn't look that strong, but I had no idea there'd be an underdog being a five seed.

[Shannon The Dude]

So who's your big upset, Ryan?

[Matt Jones]

I'm going to pick Liberty over Oregon.

[Ryan Lemon]

That's who I had.

[Matt Jones]

Liberty's point guard is Colin Porter from Ashland, Kentucky. And they can play. They. They got like three kids from Kentucky on the team.

[Shannon The Dude]

They do. They have. They have a bunch of kids from Kentucky.

[Matt Jones]

So I am picking Liberty over Oregon.

[Shannon The Dude]

Liberty over Oregon, High Point over Purdue, and then McNeese over. Who does Clemson. Those are the ones that, that the KSR likes. Who's next?

[Ryan Lemon]

Let's go to Jake.

[Shannon The Dude]

Jake. How are you, Jake? I'm. I'm good. I'm just thinking you should.

[Drew Franklin]

I'm thinking you should tell people to.

[Shannon The Dude]

To when they. When they have something wrong with the app, not to uninstall it and reinstall.

[Drew Franklin]

It because now I can never get.

[Shannon The Dude]

Back on it again. Go to Jake on three Sports, download that one and set your team to Kentucky and you'll have it. Do what I want to do.

[Drew Franklin]

Why would.

[Shannon The Dude]

Why would I want to do that? Because that's how you get that KSR app. We go to on3sports. That app. Download it. Yeah. And the. The Kentucky section is ksr. Okay, I'll try that. Try that. It's.

[Drew Franklin]

Thank you, sir.

[Shannon The Dude]

You're very welcome. Yes, I'm completely shut out of our. Out of I Heart anyway, so. What do you mean you're. I appreciate your help. Are you banned from I Heart? No, I just.

[Drew Franklin]

I just. They won't let me back home.

[Shannon The Dude]

They say I don't have an account with them anymore. Well, but you don't have to have an account. Have to download the I Heart app and just hit WLAP and we're on. You don't need an account. That's. But when you.

[Drew Franklin]

When you set up your library, you.

[Matt Jones]

Have to have an account.

[Shannon The Dude]

You don't need a library. Just. Just hit. They just hit ksr. You don't need a library. You don't need to do any of that. You just need to go on there and just hit KSR and you're good. Okay. Thank you, Jake.

[Drew Franklin]

It's very helpful.

[Matt Jones]

I think you were helpful to him. I think you'll have it figured out by the weekend.

[Shannon The Dude]

I think that I should do Shannon a tech support, don't you?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, I think you'd be really helpful.

[Shannon The Dude]

I think I was. I was patient.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

I understood the problem, tried to fix it. Troubleshoot, troubleshoot. I'm taking a risk here. Who's.

[Ryan Lemon]

I got a couple of different options now. We'll try Billy in Milwaukee.

[Shannon The Dude]

All right. Billy in Milwaukee. All right, good. Go ahead, Billy.

[Matt Jones]

Hey, guys.

[Shannon The Dude]

I just am super excited about the cats coming to Milwaukee, and I don't know if you have a place figured out yet where you need to stay, but my parents would be happy to host you guys. They got a couple of guest rooms. My boyhood bedroom has a small twin bed and super comfortable. And Friday night, my parents are gonna be cooking pierogies. Completely covered. All they asked for in exchange is they've got just a bunch of firewood that they'd really love to get moved. And I feel like between the four, you guys make quick work of it. I think it'd be super comfortable. So just let me know. First of all, I don't. I wish you had made this call, because our bosses at iHeart will hear that and go, well, it sounds like you have a place to stay, so you don't need to pay for it. You know, I think your parents are lovely people. I don't know if they would want five of us in their house, so I feel like we'll probably pass. But if they want to give us. What is a pierogi? Pierogi? It's. I don't even know how to describe it. It's like a little. It's like a. I don't know, like, mashed potatoes in a. Like a noodle almost. It's like a little dumpling. How do you not know what a pierogi is? Well, first of all, you don't seem like, you know when you tell me it's like it's mashed potatoes. I guess I've never been tasked. Like, that's like asking, like, what's a hamburger? You know, like I would say to you, hamburger is beef between bread with condiments. What is a pierogi? If no one else on the show knows what I've never heard of.

[Drew Franklin]

I've had pierogies as recently last week.

[Shannon The Dude]

So how would you describe it? Thank you.

[Drew Franklin]

He's right. It's a dumpling, usually with, like, mashed potatoes inside, maybe a little cheese. I think you can put some meat in it, but usually I think it's a potato filling.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah. If your parents would like to make us, I Would love to eat them, but I'm not going to their house.

[Ryan Lemon]

No promise on the firewood either.

[Shannon The Dude]

I think you just made the case to stay with my parents because then you get to figure out with your parents. But I would if they would like to make pierogies and then I can get Shannon and Mario to go move the fire.

[Ryan Lemon]

No, no. We'll burn the wood.

[Shannon The Dude]

All right. Thank you very much, sir. I like that call. That was Good. Hey. The 2025 college basketball bracket contest from my heart is sponsored by salsa ritas. You can win up to a million dollars.

Who do you have in winning in your brackets, by the way, guys, I.

[Matt Jones]

Went chalk and have Auburn. I feel like you drew.

[Drew Franklin]

I haven't officially committed to anything yet.

[Shannon The Dude]

But you got to commit now.

[Drew Franklin]

I know I am. I don't want to say Auburn because it's so chalk, but I just think they're so much better.

[Shannon The Dude]

But they've lost three or four. I mean, that's true. Three or four at this point.

[Drew Franklin]

They've gone the wrong way since getting the belts out in Lexington. Turning direction.

[Shannon The Dude]

I'm going to take Florida. Shannon. I think they're playing better than anybody and they're. They got, you know, they got. They got the guards and in. In March. I like the guards. So I'm taking Florida.

[Ryan Lemon]

I got an all Alabama final. Auburn.

[Shannon The Dude]

Alabama.

[Ryan Lemon]

Auburn for the third time.

[Shannon The Dude]

That's interesting.

[Ryan Lemon]

Auburn winning.

[Drew Franklin]

Hey, like Florida cutting the nets without needing a ladder.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay. Like that dude. Have you ever seen a dude cut a net without. Without a ladder?

[Ryan Lemon]

No. I've seen a lot of foot nine guys either.

[Shannon The Dude]

That was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life. 7 foot 9 does not need a ladder to cut the net.

[Matt Jones]

Amazing.

[Shannon The Dude]

And yet he can't get in the game.

[Ryan Lemon]

He's red shirt it, right?

[Drew Franklin]

He's out this season.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

Well, you think you'd have room for.

[Drew Franklin]

79 guy to play right away. I remember walking past him. I intentionally walked through there warmups in Rupp arena just to get as close to him as possible. Just to even see that that kind of human can exist. And it's a crazy to see quite a sight.

[Shannon The Dude]

Hey, if you're looking for new furniture, appliances or bed p rats locally owned and operated furniture mattress store right in Lexington, the best appliance retailer in the bluegrass for the last six years in a row. That's pretty good. P Rats isn't just knowledgeable. They're experts at turning your houses into homes with great appliance needs. Whether you need a refrigerator, a sectional, a deep freezer, whatever. It's at P Rats, the best place. Remember, nobody beats P Rats. We'll take a break. Be right back. Ksr, we have a rare double Breaking news. Shannon. Now do it again. All right. First, the University of Kentucky will be one of six teams CBS goes behind the scenes with at the NCAA tournament. For the NCAA Tournament Confidential TV series. What do we think about that?

[Matt Jones]

History has not been kind to Kentucky when they go behind the scenes and do stuff like that.

[Ryan Lemon]

It's not a distraction.

[Shannon The Dude]

Is the first thing I went to the year Cal did it. We went to the nit, if you remember. And then we did it during football. And that's not going to be good. Netflix wrote me and asked if they could use some of our clips from their for their series from the football. And it wasn't clips of things where we were happy.

[Matt Jones]

Oh.

[Ryan Lemon]

And a whole lot to be happy about.

[Shannon The Dude]

So. So that's number one. It'll be cool. At least Drew, though, right?

[Drew Franklin]

It will be cool. I'm glad they're doing it, but I have to note that we were March Madness Confidentials, one of their six teams. The St. Peter's year as well. So we've done this once before and made it not even to the second game.

[Shannon The Dude]

All right. If we lose in the first round again, we never.

[Matt Jones]

Never again.

[Shannon The Dude]

All right. Second, the West Virginia governor has a press conference scheduled for noon announcing a lawsuit against the NCAA for West Virginia not making the tournament. Wow.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, that's good and all, but it's not going to change anything or.

[Shannon The Dude]

You know, this tournament. What? It's not. It's terrible.

[Matt Jones]

Like I said, it's not going to change anything. The tournament starts in a couple days.

[Shannon The Dude]

Everybody's money, isn't it?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

Time and money. They're not going to change the tournament because this guy. How stupid.

[Matt Jones]

But you know, he might be getting some votes from it. You know, I'm going to do this for our state.

[Shannon The Dude]

I will say, if we didn't make the tournament and Andy Beshear filed lawsuit, I'd be like, andy, come on, man. I would like. I love. I mean, I love the tournament, but we. That's dumb.

[Ryan Lemon]

Didn't Florida State do that for the.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yes. And they lost.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

What do you think about the picture of Bill Belichick, Drew Doing yoga on the beach with his girlfriend. Holding her up in the air with his feet.

[Drew Franklin]

Bill's just not shying away from any of this. He knows. He knows he's a joke, but he's just going to keep doing whatever she wants. Take pictures if you need to. He's happy to be with someone.

[Shannon The Dude]

You do that.

[Drew Franklin]

One third of his age.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. Bill Belichick, Absolutely. I would. I'm not hating on it at all. Good for him.

[Shannon The Dude]

Man is the most pro person I've seen in the media on this relationship.

[Ryan Lemon]

I'm happy for him. Here's the thing. Everybody else is just jealous they don't have her. That's what it is. I mean, if at his age he.

[Shannon The Dude]

Can get her, do you think it's at all weird?

[Ryan Lemon]

I mean, I'm not saying it's not weird, but I'm happy for him. Good for him. I'm not mad about it.

[Shannon The Dude]

Would you. But you would do the picture?

[Ryan Lemon]

Anything she wanted.

[Shannon The Dude]

And I recreate that picture. Can we recreate that picture in Milwaukee with you and Mario?

[Ryan Lemon]

No, on the lake.

[Drew Franklin]

Doesn't look like her lakefront before 9pm we're doing 4.

[Ryan Lemon]

9Pm she wants to get reenacted.

[Shannon The Dude]

Mario should recreate that picture. I think it would be the second most liked TikTok of all time behind Will Smith. Who's next?

[Ryan Lemon]

Bob and Jamestown.

[Shannon The Dude]

Bobby.

[Ryan Lemon]

Jamestown, number seven. Sixteen.

[Shannon The Dude]

There you go. Matt, you want some excitement in bris. You want some excitement in Bristol? Otis elevators at a 30 story test tower. Now you go over there and tell them that you know Russ and rabbit hash. Kentucky's retired. I don't know what any of elevator mean, Shannon.

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, that makes two of us.

[Shannon The Dude]

Otis elevators in Bristol. Rabbit hash, what are you talking. The brackets just came out, Bob. I know, but Bristol has a Otis elevator test tower. 30 story elevator test tower. I mean you can see it from everywhere in Bristol. Go tell him that you know Russ from Rabbit Hash, Kentucky. He's my late neighbor, retired elevator man. But what is it? What are they gonna do? I'm just gonna get on an elevator. Yeah, you take a ride on that 30 story elevator. I've been on. I, I was on an elevator just last week that was like 60 stories. Wow. This is a test test. Anyway, Mark Pope gonna try to get some healthy young guys in the transfer portal to build this team back up. Appreciate the call. You know the ladies of KSR Facebook page, which I encourage all our female listeners to get on, but they. The only thing they seem to get mad at me about is they say, I mean to Bob and Jamestown. But he calls about the Otis elevators test elevator in Bristol and Russ from rabbit hash. Drew, what am I supposed to do? Am I just supposed to act like that's a normal phone call?

[Drew Franklin]

Well, I would say you're supposed to go test out this elevator now. You should take Bob's advice.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, you're in Bristol.

[Drew Franklin]

Matt, how many times have to test it? I feel like a few runs and it's good. I mean, what's the attraction here.

[Shannon The Dude]

And there? Like he said, 34 shade and there's bigger buildings than 30 floors.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, but you know, maybe not in Bristol. But you don't want to fall 30 floors if it doesn't test. Yeah, it doesn't work.

[Shannon The Dude]

You know, maybe there's a lot of people who've been there. I don't know. Court physical therapy. As for Russ, 70 locations around the state. If you ask for Russ, they'll give you the best physical therapy. Get you without pain, feeling good, stretched out, everything, you know, it's court physical therapy. K o r t.com there's no reason to be in pain in the new year. Most insurance will pay for it at court physical therapy. I'm excited, Ryan, for this week. Are you, Mark?

[Matt Jones]

This is the best week of the year, man. Games all day Thursday, Friday. I love this time of year.

[Shannon The Dude]

We're going to get things set up in Milwaukee today. If you guys are making the trip, we'll definitely do a pregame show publicly on Friday. I don't know about besides that, still trying to get everything situated. We will be at the bar tomorrow and Wednesday. So Tuesday and Wednesday. So come see us. I'm excited. Been a fun travel. Thank you all very much, especially those of you who listen. Last night on espn I had a lot of great feedback. It was cool to have all you all make the time. Go visit Russ at the test elevator site in Bristol and we will see you tomorrow morning. This has been Kentucky sports radio.
