Shannon The Dude (3:00)

Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

Drew Franklin (3:05)

We've been arguing about these percentages the whole time.

Matt Jones (3:07)

You guys made my head hurt.

Drew Franklin (3:09)

Who doesn't have an opinion is Ryan.

Matt Jones (3:11)

Yeah, I checked out. You made my head hurt.

Jake (3:13)

No, he said 0.01% he had an opinion.

Drew Franklin (3:15)

Yeah, he did. I think we objectively know his opinion. Okay, I'm a little off, but besides that, we'll see.

Matt Jones (3:20)

You got all these people doing all this fancy ma gazentas and carry the ones.

Drew Franklin (3:24)

No one ever said the word gazenta. That's not, that's not a word that was said by anyone. We are here at KS Bar and Grill, 859-280-2287. Kentucky is getting ready to play Troy Friday night, 7 o'clock. Are you glad, by the way, Ryan, that we're going to get to watch a day of games without losing? You know, we lost, we lost to St. Peter's and Oakland both on the first day of the tournament and didn't even get to Friday. I can tell you this bar felt the effects of that. Are you, are you glad that we at least get one day of tournament plus a day in Lexington of tournament.

Matt Jones (3:57)

And this is, you know, some of our favorite days of the year. But after Kentucky got beat those first two rounds, Kentucky kind of check out. They don't even really pay much attention to.

Drew Franklin (4:05)

Believe me, I know that.

Matt Jones (4:06)

Yeah, when we had the big watch party here last year that didn't go so well. People left here like they had died, like they saw somebody die. It was awful.

Drew Franklin (4:16)

Yeah. So we get a whole day of it.

Matt Jones (4:17)

Yeah.

Drew Franklin (4:18)

And then I would say if we were to win, I think we would be, you know, they put a prime CBS slot on Sunday. It's like their big game. And if you look at the possibilities of games, Duke, Duke, Yukon and Kansas, Arkansas are going to have to be on Saturday. So like I'd say we probably would get that like 4:30 5:00 slot. So you know, I Think if you're playing in the games, if we. There's no way for us not to have a marquee game.

Matt Jones (4:50)

Right.

Drew Franklin (4:50)

Kentucky. Illinois is a marquee game. Kentucky, Texas a marquee game. Kentucky. Xavier might not be. They might put us earlier or later in the day if we play Xavier, but if we play Texas or Illinois, I think we'll end up getting the marquee game on Sunday. And you're going to end up having two kind of primetime games.

Jake (5:05)

Yeah. My first thought when the draw came out wasn't even about the opponent. It was the Friday night game. Because I remember last year in Pittsburgh, we had friends there I hadn't seen in a while. We had a whole day planned on Friday to watch games at the casino. And then I wake up and people are already changing flights and we're all gone before we even got to the weekend with so much exciting times ahead. So not that I think Kentucky's gonna lose, but it is comfortable knowing you can get a whole day not having to sweat anything.

Drew Franklin (5:28)

All right, I want to do two quick things here. Talking about if you like to have fun. All right, so let's say you're here in Lexington and you want to go to the games. All right. Oddly, the tickets for these. Read these games in Lexington are oddly cheaper than the ones in Milwaukee, which I would have never believed because Tennessee, Louisville and Auburn are all close. But right now, if you go on the tickets for Art, the tickets for our game Friday night, right now, the cheapest ticket on StubHub is $200.

Matt Jones (5:58)

The cheapest ticket, Cheapest.

Drew Franklin (5:59)

That shocked me. I thought those tickets wouldn't be hard to get there.

Matt Jones (6:02)

$200 people paying in Nashville for the SEC tournament.

Drew Franklin (6:07)

But anyway, so here's who's going to be here.

Matt Jones (6:08)

Okay.

Drew Franklin (6:09)

All right, tell me what we think about these fan bases. Auburn is going to be in Lexington. They were just here in football season.

Matt Jones (6:16)

Yeah, they'll bring a lot of. They'll bring a big crowd. There'll be a lot of orange in this town, so a lot.

Drew Franklin (6:21)

So you like having Auburn?

Matt Jones (6:22)

I do.

Drew Franklin (6:23)

Alabama State or St. Francis, will they bring a lot of people, parents, girlfriends? Alabama State, though, could end up playing a team from Alabama. That's kind of interesting.

Jake (6:35)

Of the two, I would watch Alabama State to travel better there.

Drew Franklin (6:38)

Do you think Louisville gets a big crowd here?

Matt Jones (6:40)

I think this may be the biggest Louisville crowd we've ever had at rubber.

Jake (6:44)

They don't even go to their home football or basketball.

Drew Franklin (6:46)

They got a little better as the year went on. They ended up at the end of the year getting pretty good.

Matt Jones (6:51)

They had a good crowd. The ACC tournament, it looked like the other night.

Drew Franklin (6:53)

So do you think. You think there'll be 10,000 Louisville fans here?

Jake (6:58)

It's too high. I know a lot of people who bought Lexington regional tickets a long time ago. Not even caring who's going to be here. So I wonder how much of a.

Drew Franklin (7:06)

Just a local crowd they might know Louisville fans to give them to.

Jake (7:10)

Could. Or they could be Kentucky fans who will not budge and give them up.

Drew Franklin (7:13)

To go rooting when they won the national title. They played their first and second round games here that year and they had a massive crowd here.

Matt Jones (7:22)

Yeah, they did.

Drew Franklin (7:23)

I think it'll be interesting to see if they do this year because. Because if I were them, like this team really isn't. It's an amazing thing what that team has done. Even though if I don't know how good they are for real. But you would think the people will come, but maybe they won't.

Jake (7:38)

I was wondering, I guess as the home team, do they get to use our beautiful Final Four locker room? I don't want them in there.

Drew Franklin (7:44)

No. So they make four. Okay, so Auburn will get to use our Final four locker room.

Jake (7:49)

I love that either. But I guess somebody has to use it now.

Matt Jones (7:51)

This winner goes to Atlanta, right?

Drew Franklin (7:53)

Yes.

Matt Jones (7:54)

So maybe Auburn fans are not going to come to Lexington. Saving up to go to Atlanta.

Drew Franklin (7:58)

Louisville, Creighton game will be tough. Here's Creighton. They travel. They do you think?

Matt Jones (8:03)

Yep.

Drew Franklin (8:04)

Creighton actually has a lot of fans. And Omaha's not that far. I mean, Omaha is definitely drivable. I think you'll be surprised how many fans Creighton has.

Matt Jones (8:13)

Creighton had a big crowd at the Big east championship game against St. John's yeah, they'll. They'll bring up a Creighton group here. The only blue in the whole tournament will be them.

Drew Franklin (8:20)

All right.

Jake (8:20)

They've been to two street straight sweet sixteens. They get into this tournament to Tennessee.

Drew Franklin (8:25)

Tennessee. Lot of people, don't you think? Plus they play Thursday night. So I think people will drive up during the day Thursday. You think? There's a lot of Tennessee tobacco retailers.

Matt Jones (8:33)

Are guaranteeing there'll be a lot of women up here chewing their tobacco. So tobacco sales will skyrocket in this town this weekend.

Drew Franklin (8:40)

Are they guaranteeing?

Matt Jones (8:41)

Yes, guaranteed.

Drew Franklin (8:43)

All right. Wofford, you know Wofford's got that 43 year old dude that looks shoots granny shots on the team. He's gonna be in Lexington, that Dwight.

Jake (8:51)

Perry, he'll have a. Oh, that's right.

Drew Franklin (8:53)

Dwight Perry is gonna be here.

Jake (8:55)

He has a chance to do the funniest thing and knock the balls out as we're all sweating about this potential indie matchup.

Drew Franklin (9:00)

That would be right now.

Jake (9:01)

He's remembered as the guy who was, you know, an accidental starter.

Drew Franklin (9:04)

He can change his legacy by being Tennessee. Do we. We hang up Dwight Perry's jersey.

Jake (9:09)

Absolutely no name on it. Because right in the end, he didn't have a name on that one. Just an anonymous jersey.

Matt Jones (9:15)

Yeah.

Drew Franklin (9:16)

No name jersey. No name.

Matt Jones (9:18)

No name. Was it number 30?

Jake (9:19)

You said 30. Yeah. I mean, that would be hilarious. Fear to pull that off, especially with the guy we talked about the.

Drew Franklin (9:24)

Now, the other game, though. Ucla. They'll have nobody.

Matt Jones (9:29)

Nobody?

Drew Franklin (9:29)

Nobody. I mean, are there. Is there one UCLA fan that lives in Lexington? Do you know a UCLA fan?

Jake (9:35)

I do not.

Drew Franklin (9:36)

I don't know Lexington or Kentucky.

Matt Jones (9:39)

I don't think I do either.

Drew Franklin (9:40)

I don't think I do either. I don't. I know one guy that's ucla. UCLA fan. I went to law school with him, but he lives in D.C. i. I don't know. I don't know a UCLA fan.

Jake (9:51)

Low turnout for the Bruins.

Drew Franklin (9:53)

What about Utah State? You think they have a lot. You think that the Mormons will travel?

Matt Jones (9:58)

Like I said, family and girlfriends, that'll be it for them.

Drew Franklin (10:00)

And they play each other. You want to talk about a game where good seats are still available? Ucla, Utah State and Lexington. I mean, it's not going to be.

Matt Jones (10:09)

Who's the second game that day Session.

Drew Franklin (10:12)

I mean, I'm not sure the order. Yeah. All right, so let's talk real quick about our session. Okay, so we've got the teams we know Wisconsin will be there, excited to watch them.

Matt Jones (10:23)

I don't think any. Any of us like Wisconsin at all. So we'll be cheering against. All of the UK Will be cheering against Wisconsin.

Drew Franklin (10:30)

Wait a minute, hang on just a second. They're in Milwaukee, right?

Matt Jones (10:33)

Wisconsin Madison.

Drew Franklin (10:35)

No, I know, but, like, they're playing in Milwaukee. I guess they are Wisconsin playing in Milwaukee, because this goes back to the ticket thing.

Jake (10:42)

That could explain it if they are.

Drew Franklin (10:44)

Aha. If they're playing Sunday while we're playing, that ticket might be $9 million.

Matt Jones (10:51)

So sweet.

Drew Franklin (10:52)

Are they in Milwaukee?

Jake (10:54)

Oh, look it up.

Drew Franklin (10:56)

They're in Denver. Okay, who's the other team in what? Michigan State. So Michigan State is in Milwaukee.

Jake (11:03)

North Carolina could be in Milwaukee.

Drew Franklin (11:05)

So you. But Michigan State, they'll have a lot.

Matt Jones (11:07)

Of people Definitely will.

Drew Franklin (11:09)

The Marquette. New Marquette. Wait a minute.

Matt Jones (11:12)

Marquette's in Milwaukee.

Drew Franklin (11:13)

Make mark. Michigan State play Marquette in Milwaukee. Did they?

Jake (11:18)

Marquettes. And Cleveland.

Matt Jones (11:19)

Cleveland.

Drew Franklin (11:19)

So who's the other team in Milwaukee?

Jake (11:21)

We got Ole Miss in Milwaukee. Iowa State.

Drew Franklin (11:25)

Lipscomb, Iowa State. Okay. The other big seat is Iowa state.

Jake (11:28)

Also the UCLA, Utah State is the late 9:30 game in Lexington. That really will be.

Drew Franklin (11:33)

That place is.

Matt Jones (11:34)

Oh my.

Drew Franklin (11:35)

UCLA, Utah State at 9:30 in Lexington. There's going to be no one there.

Matt Jones (11:40)

Nobody there.

Drew Franklin (11:41)

Tennessee team. Tennessee plays first. Their fans will all leave.

Jake (11:45)

Yeah, they'll go get hammered.

Drew Franklin (11:47)

Honestly, like you could, you could go roll naked up and down the aisles during ucla, Utah State and no one will be there.

Matt Jones (11:55)

You could buy a ticket on the street for $5, maybe a dollar because.

Drew Franklin (11:58)

Tennessee will have played for the session. So like it's just going to be an empty arena drive. Like just completely empty.

Jake (12:05)

They should work something out where local people can just go here, where are Utah T shirt and try to act like we have a crowd here.

Drew Franklin (12:12)

Unbelievable. All right, 859-280-2287. Who's next?

Shannon The Dude (12:15)

Mike.

Drew Franklin (12:16)

Mike. Go ahead, Mike.

Jim Tom (12:19)

Hey, how you doing, Matt?

Drew Franklin (12:21)

I'm good.

Jim Tom (12:22)

Listen, I just want to let you know this was about, about the Waffle House. You allow me to have a comment about them. We were down Nashville last weekend last week and we stayed at by the Opera Land and we, we ate and Waffle house there on McGavock pike and it was really good. And we, we ate it on the day that we beat Oak Oklahoma. So superstitious. Eat a Waffle House on the day you, you be you. You supposed to. Supposed to play somebody and maybe you'll. So you think, you know, maybe.

Drew Franklin (12:56)

Are you saying, sir, you think because you ate at Waffle House and we won that we should all eat at Waffle House and then we'll win?

Jim Tom (13:06)

Well, that could be a superstition. I don't know. But I think it's just a happenstance. But anyway, I love Waffle House.

Drew Franklin (13:13)

All right, well, I appreciate the call.

Jake (13:16)

I have something we forgot about Auburn to going back to that Auburn baseball plays here Friday to Sunday. Their basketball games Thursday. You're a big Auburn fan. What a weekend to come. Take over Lexington.

Drew Franklin (13:27)

But that stinks for our baseball team.

Jake (13:29)

It does.

Drew Franklin (13:29)

Our baseball team gets a home series against Auburn and then Auburn's playing here in basketball.

Jake (13:35)

They'll need something to do.

Drew Franklin (13:37)

No, that's going to be where that. Well, maybe we should be marketing this bar to Auburn fans because. No, that's right. They'll have a ton of people here for that. I didn't.

Jake (13:45)

That's our opening SEC series, and you might have a road crowd. And they're ranked 16th in the country.

Drew Franklin (13:52)

No mingy owns. Got to be like, are you kidding me? I get a home series and then that fan base ends up here.

Jake (13:59)

I mean, think about that playing out for them, though. Imagine if we went somewhere in Kentucky, baseball, happened to be in town. That'd be a. Such a fan.

Matt Jones (14:05)

That's brutal.

Drew Franklin (14:06)

That's. That's absolutely brutal. I didn't. I did not know that.

Matt Jones (14:10)

That's a shame, because they'll. All the Auburn fans that are here in town for basketball have nothing to do during those off days. They'll go to that baseball game and make Kentucky proud. Park Orange. That's nasty.

Drew Franklin (14:19)

That's brutal. All right, let's go quickly here through the dirt. I assume we go. I'll pick Florida over Norfolk State. Yukon, Oklahoma, who you got? Big game.

Jake (14:27)

Oklahoma takes down the Hurley Dynasty.

Drew Franklin (14:29)

Wow. Okay.

Matt Jones (14:30)

I like Oklahoma.

Jake (14:31)

Sharpie.

Drew Franklin (14:31)

I'll take Yukon. Who you got?

Shannon The Dude (14:33)

Give me Oklahoma.

Drew Franklin (14:34)

Oklahoma through Jeremiah Memphis and Colorado State. Colorado State's a very fancy upset pick. Usually when that happens, the other team, the favorite ends up winning. Although in this case, Colorado State's a favorite by DraftKings. I'm gonna go still with Memphis. What do you got?

Jake (14:49)

Memphis's best players. Heard I'm going Colorado State.

Drew Franklin (14:52)

Oh, I didn't know that.

Jake (14:52)

They're the better Colorado State.

Drew Franklin (14:54)

What do you go?

Matt Jones (14:55)

I'll still go Memphis.

Drew Franklin (14:56)

All right, Shannon.

Shannon The Dude (14:56)

I've still got Memphis.

Drew Franklin (14:58)

All right, so we're tied. Colorado State. Memphis. Colorado State moves on. Maryland against the Grand Canyon. It's a Grand Canyon.

Jake (15:05)

Go with the Crab Five because it's the best nickname in basketball.

Drew Franklin (15:08)

The Crab Five.

Jake (15:09)

That's what they call Maryland. The Crab Five.

Matt Jones (15:11)

I've not heard that.

Drew Franklin (15:12)

That's pretty good.

Matt Jones (15:13)

I go. I'll go the Crab Five. I just got, like, the name.

Drew Franklin (15:15)

Take Maryland. What do you got?

Shannon The Dude (15:16)

I was going to pick the upset with Bryce Drew in Grand Canyon, but you guys already outvoted me.

Drew Franklin (15:22)

Missouri and Drake.

Shannon The Dude (15:23)

Give me Drake.

Drew Franklin (15:25)

Drake, Missouri.

Jake (15:27)

Missouri.

Drew Franklin (15:28)

All right, Missouri and Drake.

Jake (15:30)

Dre, I gotta say, I have Missouri going all the way to the sweet 16.

Drew Franklin (15:35)

Well, you don't got anything now because that's my underdog. Texas Tech, UNC Wilmington. Texas Tech, Texas Tech, Texas Tech, Kansas and Arkansas. The peace versus the past.

Matt Jones (15:50)

Boogie Flan returns.

Drew Franklin (15:52)

Print the shirts piece versus the path. I'm taking the hairpiece. Kansas wins.

Jake (15:56)

I Think there's been so much talk about Cal versus Patino. Everyone's completely looking over Bill Self and they got a talented roster. I think they can go on a run. I'm taking Kansas.

Matt Jones (16:05)

I think Boogie Flynn makes him worse. So I take Kansas to Shannon.

Shannon The Dude (16:08)

I would have picked Arkansas. I wanted to see Cal versus Rick.

Drew Franklin (16:11)

All right, so now you get Kansas. St. John's who you got?

Matt Jones (16:14)

St. John's Kansas.

Drew Franklin (16:15)

Kansas. Who you got?

Shannon The Dude (16:17)

St. John's all right, Kansas.

Drew Franklin (16:19)

St. John's moves on in our bracket. Texas Tech, Drake, Drew.

Jake (16:25)

Ooh. Texas Tech.

Drew Franklin (16:27)

Drake. Texas Tech. Shannon.

Shannon The Dude (16:29)

Drake.

Drew Franklin (16:30)

All right, our Oscar Military there. Texas take Tech. Drake. Texas Tech moves on. Okay, Maryland versus Colorado State. Drew.

Jake (16:39)

Maryland.

Matt Jones (16:40)

Crab 5.

Drew Franklin (16:41)

I'll take Maryland.

Shannon The Dude (16:42)

Shannon, give me Colorado State.

Drew Franklin (16:43)

Oklahoma. Florida.

Jake (16:46)

Florida.

Drew Franklin (16:46)

Florida.

Shannon The Dude (16:47)

Florida.

Drew Franklin (16:47)

Florida. So Florida, Maryland.

Matt Jones (16:49)

Florida.

Shannon The Dude (16:50)

Florida.

Drew Franklin (16:50)

Florida. All right, St. John's Texas Tech, St. John. St. John's I'll take St. John's Texas Tech. St. John's in Florida. Can Ricky P get to the final four? Take his fourth team to the final four. First coach to ever do that. Can he do it?

Jake (17:07)

Florida, Patino and Todd Golden. This is an interesting matchup.

Drew Franklin (17:13)

Hide the ladies.

Jake (17:16)

I will go with florid.

Drew Franklin (17:18)

Take Florida.

Shannon The Dude (17:20)

Drew Franklin (20:41)

I can drive to a truck we can end up you know the song no yeah on a good night this is your Corey. Dude, his name is not Corey. His name is Way. His name is Wade Hayes. Wade Hayes and he Was playing. His name was on the marquee there at the Eric Church thing and almost made me want to go because I liked Wade Hayes. Brown hair, blue eyes, once in a lifetime. This is 90s country right here. Shannon. When I think of 90s country, I think it sounds like this.

Shannon The Dude (21:12)

This is good stuff right here. I guess Brian, though, doesn't know it.

Drew Franklin (21:16)

He doesn't.

Shannon The Dude (21:17)

In the 90s.

Drew Franklin (21:18)

He's a young man. Churches, and he could have seen Wade Hayes play.

Matt Jones (21:24)

I'll stay out of the. Out of the mess.

Drew Franklin (21:26)

I'd like to know how many people listen to this. 772-7745254, know who Wade Hayes is and remember this song, sir. Do you remember? Well, you can't hear it, so you wouldn't. You. You wouldn't. He wouldn't. He wouldn't be able to hear it because it's in our ears. So I'm sitting here pointing this guy going, you know this song? And, like, he's. I'm gonna challenge him to a race. So Mark Pope. Mark Pope on his radio show last night, said, milwaukee's only seven hours away. If you come, if you get in touch with me, I'll pay for your gas. What do you think about that? First of all, you think somebody's going to contact you? Like, there's somebody standing there at UK right now going, well, Mark Pope pay for my gas to go to. To go to Milwaukee.

Jake (22:10)

I liked. Right after he said it, he's like, oh, no, wait, I just remembered. I had a great idea to buy ice cream this one time, and that backfired. Cost me a lot more than I expected.

Drew Franklin (22:17)

Yeah, well, the gas is going to be a lot more than that. If people took up for.

Matt Jones (22:21)

I wondered if Leanne was over in the background waving her arms. No, no, be quiet, be quiet.

Drew Franklin (22:26)

I like that, though. I like the excitement. I mean, I don't. I. I'm gonna guess nobody takes it seriously. Or maybe they do, I don't know. But, like, I just think it's cool. He has that kind of energy. Says, come get in the car. Come to walkie. I got you guys.

Jake (22:39)

I think it would be cool if he did. I mean, he obviously can't just take calls and meet people to fill up their gas. I mean, he will fill you up on Broadway. We know if you're. If his wife runs out, I think he has an opportunity to get with, like, Clarks or someone and leave little gift cards around town or turn it into something.

Drew Franklin (22:52)

Now, that actually is a great idea. Go to Clark's puppet shop have little gift cards. If you show your ticket to Milwaukee, you get the. That.

Jake (22:59)

Yeah. He has a chance to. To turn it into something.

Drew Franklin (23:01)

Drew just made a market.

Jake (23:02)

My big marketing brain here.

Drew Franklin (23:03)

If you're at Clark's pumping shop, you're advertised this show. You pump and you shop. Contact uk. You should do a thing where if they have a ticket, Mark Pope pays. I'm. I'm volunteering $5,000 probably for Mark, but Mark pays for the ticket. I think that would be a really cool, like, fun gesture. I'll help you do it. Clark's if you want. I don't know what I can do, but I'll do something.

Jake (23:25)

Or just a small gift card to get you a little bit. He can't get every tank of gas.

Drew Franklin (23:28)

Let me tell you a good story, too. This is a good story for the fan base. I'm going to post this picture a little later on in the day. So Kobe Bray. There's a guy in town here, True blue customs. He makes. He takes shoes, and he. Customs shoes. He does. He's done a bunch for me. He does it for a lot of the players. He actually does it for athletes all over the country. But Kobe Braya was at the guy's house that does it to pick up his shoes. I guess the shoes he's gonna maybe wear for. For the tournament. You got to give the dude who did this a little bit of guts. I don't know. I don't. He wrote me. He's the one that told me about this. But he sees Kobe Bray in his neighborhood picking up these shoes, and he hollers at him. He goes, hey, Kobe, my mom lives right here. She's a huge fan. Would you say hi to her? Now, if somebody did that to me, like, I go, I don't know. I'd be like, oh, man. Yeah. Or Kobe Braya. What a nice kid. He goes. Walks down the road, apparently, like, couple blocks.

Jake (24:34)

Yeah.

Drew Franklin (24:35)

Walks to the mother's house, knocks on the door. Kobe Bray is his mom's favorite player. Knocks on the door. Imagine mom, she just opens the door, and there is Kobe Bray. Like, he's just standing at the door. I have a picture I'll post later of the two of them. Again, that's a little thing, but that had to be huge for the mom. Kobe Braya shows up at this woman's door. Drew, I just like this team because it feels like they do things like that. I know other players have done it. I'm not going to act like they're the first ones, but they. There just seems like there's a lot of that with this group, which makes it easier to. Easy to root for.

Jake (25:11)

Yeah. Also, it was her birthday the day before, so awesome timing on that sound like she almost passed out thinking she had won the lottery or something with Kobe Braya just showing up. But, I mean, I don't know how many people have done that. The guy said, will you just follow me home?

Drew Franklin (25:25)

Go to my house? Well, you know, you gotta have a lot of gumption to ask me to follow you to your house.

Matt Jones (25:31)

The appreciation these guys have to be able to put on that Kentucky jersey. I mean, you know, he was a Dayton the last couple years, man. Now he's in a place where he's adored and loved, and I think he. These guys are old enough to appreciate that, being a Kentucky Wildcat.

Drew Franklin (25:44)

All right, no spoilers. No spoilers. Because there's people who don't watch the show. People haven't seen it yet. Have you ever heard two minutes of television more insane than the two minutes on White Lotus with Baby Billy and the Sam Rockwell character?

Matt Jones (26:02)

No, and I didn't see it coming. It came out of nowhere.

Drew Franklin (26:06)

I would hope you didn't. If you had seen that coming, you'd be like, you should sell. Sell stock. Like, what are you talking about?

Matt Jones (26:13)

Yeah, they were meeting, I think, to talk about something else. The next thing I know, they're talking about something else.

Drew Franklin (26:18)

Don't get into it. I don't. I don't trust you to talk about what they were talking about. I mean, I post a picture if you go to my Twitter of baby Walton Goggins face as he's listening. That's become my new. Oh, wow. For real face. I mean, I like. Sam Rockwell's a great actor. Drew, have you seen the scene yet?

Jake (26:38)

Twice.

Drew Franklin (26:40)

Whoa.

Matt Jones (26:40)

Whoa.

Drew Franklin (26:41)

There's very few times you're watching something, you're like, whoa. And every moment he kept talking, it got weirder.

Matt Jones (26:46)

Yes, it did.

Drew Franklin (26:47)

Like, it just kept getting weirder the.

Jake (26:49)

More and more he went, those are two great actors. I thought, just as good as his. We'll call it storytelling was the. The look on Walt Goggins face was just as good, too. I think they should. As crazy it is. They should win an Emmy for that.

Drew Franklin (27:01)

I don't disagree with you. I thought that was a great episode. I loved. I. It was intriguing, you know, I felt like I was there.

Matt Jones (27:09)

Yeah.

Drew Franklin (27:10)

Parker Posey. If I could watch Parker Posey talk.

Matt Jones (27:13)

You love that Piper.

Drew Franklin (27:15)

No, like, I could watch her do that. All the time.

Matt Jones (27:20)

We're good people. For all the criticism the show's got for the first four episodes, episode five kind of picks it up a little bit.

Drew Franklin (27:29)

You're gonna live in Taiwan.

Jake (27:31)

Yeah, that's very good. Parker Posey, do you that?

Drew Franklin (27:36)

I mean, I spent a lot of time in north.

Jake (27:37)

She also needs an Emmy. She's been great.

Drew Franklin (27:39)

I would give an Emmy to her and to baby Billy. I would give an Emmy to both of them. They both.

Matt Jones (27:43)

You're gonna see a lot of Baby Billy 2 and Righteous Gemstones this week. A lot.

Jake (27:47)

Heard that.

Matt Jones (27:48)

Really a lot.

Shannon The Dude (28:29)

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

Drew Franklin (28:34)

More Wade. Hey, Shannon.

Shannon The Dude (28:36)

Yeah.

Drew Franklin (28:37)

Old enough to know better. I think this was too young to care.

Shannon The Dude (28:40)

More popular song out of the two that we played.

Matt Jones (28:43)

Yeah, I've heard this one.

Drew Franklin (28:44)

I'm old enough to know better. Yeah, but I'm still too young to care.

Matt Jones (28:49)

I didn't recognize the other one, but I recognize this one. What's his name? Wade Hayes.

Drew Franklin (28:52)

Wade Hayes.

Matt Jones (28:54)

Still don't know him.

Drew Franklin (28:54)

Superstar. Well, you do. You know this song, right? 859-280-2287 so guess what? My deal for Clark's Pumping Shop. Somebody's already done it. Yep.

Jake (29:05)

That was quick.

Drew Franklin (29:06)

Paul Miller. Ford says if you go to 975 East New Circle Road. Is this. What's. What's today? Today's tomorrow. So Tomorrow starting at 10am if you go to Paul Miller Ford, the first hundred people that show up with a game ticket will get a hundred dollar gas card.

Jake (29:24)

Oh, that's a big gas card.

Matt Jones (29:26)

That's awesome.

Drew Franklin (29:27)

Can we go?

Matt Jones (29:28)

Yeah, let's go. We'll just hit that, actually.

Drew Franklin (29:33)

I mean, we can we'd use it. You know, if they want to give the hundred dollar gas card especially off. Apparently they say they're partnering with Mark Pope. So it's a hundred dollars, 100 people. How much, how much money they giving away?

Matt Jones (29:45)

100,000. No, 10,000.

Drew Franklin (29:48)

There you go.

Matt Jones (29:52)

One too many zeros.

Drew Franklin (29:53)

Yeah, you know what, that's one too many zeros. But so that's kind of cool. So 10am tomor cool. Paul Miller Ford you can get with Mark Pope gas money to go to Milwaukee.

Matt Jones (30:03)

You could probably rent a van from Paul Miller with a ticket, get the gas card. Perfect.

Drew Franklin (30:09)

Would you like to know how much. How much a ticket to the night session Thursday night with Tennessee Wofford, ucla, Utah State. Would you like to know how much that's costing right now at Rupp Arena?

Jake (30:19)

The get in price tough because I trust Tennessee fans.

Matt Jones (30:23)

Tennessee would probably drive the price to get in.

Drew Franklin (30:27)

So if you're going to be in Lexington, you got nothing to do and you're like, I'd like some hot Utah State action. Utah State, UCLA and Tennessee. Wofford's only 15 bucks. That's an NCAA tournament game. If we weren't in Milwaukee, I would definitely go do that.

Jake (30:41)

Yeah, go give Dwight Perry a good crowd and try to get the Vols out of here early.

Drew Franklin (30:45)

Yeah. What I would do is. You guys can have a seat. Go ahead. What I would do is come into this bar before. By the way, speaking of that, we will have all the games all day on Thursday and Friday. We're glad to not only have you, we want you to sit, enjoy it. But just do me a favor. I trust you all come. Don't just sit here and not eat or drink. Don't. That's not, not nice. Okay. We've had such bad marches because of St. Peter's and Oakland. We need a good march this year. So, you know, but we'd love to have you Thursday and Friday. There's no reason for you to work Thursday or Friday. I, I mean seriously, like there's not. And if your boss makes you work, turn him into Doge or something. Like there has to be. Like there's no reason to be working on Thursday and Friday. This week.

Jake (31:32)

This week. You shouldn't have to email five things you did at work.

Drew Franklin (31:34)

Yes. You get to just watch five things that didn't work. I watched Wofford. Like that's what, that's one of the things you do. I, I let all my employees off except the ones that work here and the ones that work for ksr. But the rest of them all can have off for. For this Thursday.

Matt Jones (31:50)

We want you to come and enjoy the games here, especially if you're going to Rupp Arena. Come here beforehand, pre game here, then go to the game. Come here after the game.

Jake (31:57)

Can we put a volt tax on all our menu items, though?

Drew Franklin (31:59)

I've considered saying if you wear orange 15% more.

Jake (32:03)

I think that's.

Drew Franklin (32:03)

But I think that might be illegal. One person writes. Matt, I have to tell you, the last 20 minutes of yesterday's show made me laugh as hard as any 20 minutes of all time. The combination. Talking about Bill Belichick's girlfriend and yoga, Jake learning how to use his phone, and Bob in Jamestown talking about the elevator test tower was KSR at its best. See, I can't decide with Bob in Jamestown because he does. Respectfully, Bob, because, you know, I kind of like you. He does great on my nerves, but that is. But he can add some crazy content that's actually kind of funny. And I don't know what he was talking about yesterday with rabbit hash Russ and all that, but to be fair, Drew, it was kind of funny.

Jake (32:48)

I mean, did any of y'all know there was an elevator test tower before he called in?

Drew Franklin (32:52)

I think I agreed with your point, though. Like, once you've tested it a few times, like, aren't you done? Yeah.

Jake (32:59)

Yeah, okay, it works. I mean, move on.

Matt Jones (33:02)

I. I think that's why people generally like Bob and Jamestown's calls, because you never know what he's going to bring to the table. You never know what he's gonna bring to.

Drew Franklin (33:10)

People are like, I really like Bob at Jamestown's called.

Matt Jones (33:13)

Let's see what he's going to talk about this time. Elevator shots.

Jake (33:16)

Like a box of chocolates.

Drew Franklin (33:17)

Yeah, a little. He's. He's like something. All right, let's do. Let's do the next bracket. Are you ready? Okay, we've done. We've done a great job so far. Let's go up to the Duke bracket. We'll assume they win their first game. Mississippi State, Baylor, Shannon, who you got? Very athletic team. Yep.

Shannon The Dude (33:32)

Give me Baylor in this one.

Drew Franklin (33:34)

I'm going to take Mississippi State.

Matt Jones (33:36)

Mississippi State.

Jake (33:37)

I have Baylor in this one.

Drew Franklin (33:38)

All right, so, sir, Mississippi State. Baylor. Mississippi State moves on.

Jake (33:43)

Kill my bracket.

Drew Franklin (33:44)

Oregon versus Liberty.

Matt Jones (33:46)

Oregon Liberty and Ashland point guard Colin Porter.

Drew Franklin (33:49)

Oregon. Shannon.

Shannon The Dude (33:50)

I've got Liberty in this one.

Drew Franklin (33:51)

All right, sir, Bull's hat. Oregon. Liberty. Oregon moves on. All right, Arizona versus Akron.

Jake (33:59)

Arizona.

Drew Franklin (33:59)

I'm taking the zips.

Matt Jones (34:01)

I'm taking the zips. I put the zips down in my bracket.

Shannon The Dude (34:04)

Arizona.

Drew Franklin (34:05)

Arizona, sir. Boy, we're going to the crowd on all these. Arizona, Akron. Arizona moves on. Byu. Vcu. The initials game battle.

Matt Jones (34:14)

The initials. Byu.

Jake (34:16)

Byu.

Drew Franklin (34:17)

I'm taking byu. All right. Wisconsin. And as my grandmother would say, Montana. Montana or Wisconsin?

Jake (34:24)

Wisconsin for me.

Matt Jones (34:25)

Wisconsin.

Drew Franklin (34:26)

Wisconsin. Wisconsin. St. Mary's and Vandy Shannon. You gotta pick your team, don't you?

Shannon The Dude (34:31)

I didn't. In my own bracket, I had St. Mary's beat.

Drew Franklin (34:34)

You picked.

Shannon The Dude (34:35)

Well, I mean, I would like to win my bracket. It's not who. It's not who I want to win. It's who do I think will legit win the game.

Drew Franklin (34:43)

I believe in your team more than you do. So I'm taking Van. Okay.

Matt Jones (34:46)

I'm taking St. Mary's I have St.

Jake (34:48)

Mary's on my bracket.

Drew Franklin (34:49)

Wow. I'm the only one that believes in Vanderbilt. We'll assume Alabama wins Duke versus Mississippi State. I'm gonna make you all prediction this. Mississippi State is going to give Duke all they want. Duke has not played a team that athletic all year. They will give Mississippi State all they want. I'm going to pick Duke. But if for some reason Cooper Flag is not playing or isn't 100% healthy, I would pick Mississippi State. But I will take Duke.

Jake (35:15)

I had Baylor here and I had Baylor winning. So I guess for this exercise I'll go with the Bulldogs. But I have Duke going down before the second weekend.

Drew Franklin (35:23)

So you have Mississippi State?

Jake (35:24)

Yep.

Drew Franklin (35:24)

All right, do we move Mississippi State on?

Matt Jones (35:26)

I'm taking Duke.

Shannon The Dude (35:27)

I've got Duke.

Drew Franklin (35:28)

All right, you got Duke guys back there. Duke or Mississippi State? Duke. Okay. But I thought we were going to knock him out. Oregon and Arizona, former Pac 12 matchup now.

Jake (35:40)

Not Oregon.

Matt Jones (35:41)

Oregon.

Drew Franklin (35:42)

Oregon.

Shannon The Dude (35:43)

Arizona.

Drew Franklin (35:44)

Arizona. But Oregon moves on in ours. BYU in Wisconsin. Shannon.

Shannon The Dude (35:48)

I got BYU in this one. Pulling the upset.

Drew Franklin (35:50)

I'm taking BYU as well.

Matt Jones (35:52)

I'm taking Wisconsin.

Jake (35:53)

BYU.

Drew Franklin (35:53)

BYU. Who's on St. Mary's in Alabama? I got Bama, Shannon.

Shannon The Dude (35:57)

Bama.

Matt Jones (35:58)

Bama.

Jake (35:59)

Bama.

Drew Franklin (35:59)

All right, so Bama and byu.

Shannon The Dude (36:03)

I got Bama on this one too.

Matt Jones (36:04)

Bama.

Jake (36:05)

Bama.

Drew Franklin (36:05)

I'll take Bama. But I could see BYU doing that. Honestly, Duke and Oregon so thrown off here.

Jake (36:12)

I guess I'll go Oregon. I need Duke out.

Matt Jones (36:15)

Duke.

Drew Franklin (36:15)

Duke, Shannon, Duke, Duke and Bama.

Matt Jones (36:18)

Bama.

Drew Franklin (36:19)

I'm going to say Cooper flag is not 100% healthy for this. And if he is, give me Bama.

Matt Jones (36:25)

Bama.

Shannon The Dude (36:25)

Yep, I've got Alabama.

Jake (36:27)

Bama, Baylor here.

Drew Franklin (36:28)

Wow. Bama to the final four from this bracket. Wow. There you go. Who's up next?

Shannon The Dude (36:33)

Let's go to Adam.

Drew Franklin (36:35)

Adam. Go ahead, Adam.

Jim Tom (36:39)

Hey, guys, can I adopt Matt's theory on if I'm. If I'm making a sports bet on the bracket and I say I picked Duke, but if the game's close, remember what I said and give me my.

Drew Franklin (36:51)

Yes. It's a good way to hedge your bets. Remember, I'm right even if I'm wrong. Yes. That's something I do on ESPN a lot. I do that for NFL games.

Jim Tom (37:01)

So I'm gonna nerd out here. And Drew is almost right on the 10% if you grab 10 grapes. But you have to remember it doesn't change the original problem of one out of a hundred. So when you grab ten and you eat them all at the same time, you have to add up each probability of 1 divided by 99, 1 divided by 98, 1.

Matt Jones (37:23)

About.

Drew Franklin (37:23)

You know, you have to add all.

Jim Tom (37:24)

That up, and it comes out to about 10 and a half percent.

Drew Franklin (37:28)

There's a huge debate right now. There's a huge debate right now between. We didn't. We didn't go into it. What you said 10 and a half and Drew's 10%. And I feel like I still don't know what the exact answer is because, you know, Drew's picking 10.

Jim Tom (37:45)

At one time. If you eat 100 at one time, it's 100% right?

Drew Franklin (37:52)

Correct.

Jim Tom (37:53)

100% chance of you getting the poison grape. But if you. If you eat one at a time, like, it goes down, the percentage goes down. So you have to add up each of those percentages. When you throw ten in your mouth.

Drew Franklin (38:06)

Well, it's either ten or ten and a half. And I appreciate the call. I. I go back and forth in my head. I'm not just gonna believe you just because you say it. I mean, like, I. You may be right. I go back and forth in my head as to who's right, but Drew also saying I just took 10 and ate them all makes some sense to me too.

Jake (38:22)

So it's not 38%.

Drew Franklin (38:24)

The original 0.01.

Jake (38:27)

No.

Drew Franklin (38:28)

Drew Shannon.

Shannon The Dude (38:29)

Yeah.

Drew Franklin (38:30)

Excuse me. Who's next?

Shannon The Dude (38:32)

Let's go to Jim Tom.

Drew Franklin (38:33)

Jim Tom. Jim Tom. That's a great name. What's up, Jim Tom?

Jim Tom (38:39)

Matt, you know me. This is a former mayor of Moorhead, Jim Tom.

Drew Franklin (38:42)

I thought that for your show, I knew. I thought to myself, I know a gym Tom, and it was you. That's right. Go ahead.

Jim Tom (38:50)

Okay. I just want to give A shout out to the. To the latest world champion from Kentucky. She's a Special Olympic athlete from Morehead. From Morehead. She won the Special Olympics Global Games in Turin, Italy. She won the downhill Super G. Wow. And she is.

Drew Franklin (39:09)

Hang on just a second. She has a condition. Hang on just a second. You're telling me the Special Olympic downhill skier winner at the World Global Games is from Moorhead? Where did she learn to ski?

Jim Tom (39:24)

Well, she. She was. Been in Special Olympics for quite a while. She has a condition, Matt, where she ages on the inside but not on the outside. If you were to see her, she looks like she's about 15 years old, but she's actually 34. And she's been in the Special Olympics Adult ski.

Drew Franklin (39:41)

Where did she learn to ski?

Jim Tom (39:42)

She learned to ski. There's two different groups down here in Morehead. There's one, the Round County Special Olympics, but there's also another one that really works on the talent they have, and it's called the Superheroes Special Olympics. It's a special group that takes kids or young adults and they train them in if they do have a talent. And some of these kids are extremely talented.

Drew Franklin (40:04)

Again, you're not answering my question. Where did she ski? Is there any. Anywhere to ski in Morehead?

Jim Tom (40:11)

No, there's no place to ski in Morehead. This group took her and taught her how to ski and took her different places across the country.

Drew Franklin (40:18)

Wow.

Jim Tom (40:18)

And taught her how to ski. And she goes over there and she actually won a bronze and a gold and. But we're having a special thing for tonight and in Moreheads.

Drew Franklin (40:30)

What's her name again?

Jim Tom (40:31)

Her name. Her name is Desiree Nickel. I sent the information on Thursday or Friday to Ryan. He's got a text with our information.

Drew Franklin (40:40)

Okay. Well, thank you very much, Jim. I appreciate it. And congratulations to Desiree. That's. That's very cool. Appreciate the call. That's. That's needed.

Matt Jones (40:48)

That is cool. For Morehead. Learn how to ski, snow ski. Something we don't do in this.

Drew Franklin (40:53)

You told me we sent someone to the Special Olympics in Italy to ski. I would not have guessed they were from Moorhead. No, I don't know that I would have guessed they were from Kentucky. But very cool.

Jake (41:05)

Yeah. Going all the way to Italy, the whole thing.

Drew Franklin (41:07)

I think that's where the Winter Olympics is in 2026.

Matt Jones (41:11)

So is that why they had their Special Olympics there?

Drew Franklin (41:13)

I think I'm right about that. I could be wrong. It's Turin or Torino, depending on where you are.

Matt Jones (41:19)

Yeah, Tomato, tomato.

Drew Franklin (44:48)

It is Kentucky Sports Radio final segment here at KS Bar. We will be having should be a lot of fun here this weekend with all the games on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Kentucky plays 7:00 on Friday. You can come get lunch. Tomorrow's wings day will be here tomorrow as well. Would love to see you for dollar Wings tomorrow. The one person writes the text machine. I love Bob and Jamestown's calls. Partially because they're random, partially because they get Matt riled up. But most importantly because you don't let him go too long. I can see that. I mean they're, they are random. They're always oddly tied to what we're talking about. But not really. Like I'm in Bristol, Connecticut. So he's like, you know it's in Bristol. Is an elevator like, like it's I am in Bristol. So I guess it's kind of tied to what we're talking about, but not really.

Matt Jones (45:34)

And when you mentioned the Reds, he'll call some obscure fact about.

Drew Franklin (45:38)

Yeah.

Matt Jones (45:38)

A play Reds player.

Drew Franklin (45:40)

And sometimes though, like he talked about that one reporter and we found out he was blind and that was kind of interesting. Right?

Jake (45:45)

So like you're coming around on Bob.

Drew Franklin (45:47)

No, stop. One person writes as a math teacher, should I play the tournament games on my projector during class Thursday and Friday? Yes, yes. When I was a kid when the teacher would do that, they'd roll that TV out there on the wheels. And I thought that was the coolest thing in the world. So, yes, Ryan, play the games on the projector. You'll be the best teacher in the school.

Matt Jones (46:09)

I mean, what else you going to do? Get. Give him a break. Let him roll. Roll the TV in and watch the basketball games.

Jake (46:14)

I can't tell you a grade I got in seventh grade, but I know the exact desk I was sitting in when Bryce drew hit his shot. And I remember the teacher rolling the TV out for that and our class going crazy. Absolutely. You need to watch the NCAA tournament in school.

Drew Franklin (46:26)

Yeah, I definitely think. Think you want to. Want to do that. I'll tell you something kind of interesting. So, you know, we built this TikTok account, the KSR, the show TikTok account from zero. And by we me, it's Mario makes these videos. We now have 26,000 some followers. When you get to 25,000, TikTok starts putting you in this thing where. In. Where, like, businesses can contact you because you're now officially an influencer. So I just want you to know that officially we're influencers. So we've started to get these messages from people who want us to do TikToks that are like endorsements. And I'm having to work it out with iheart because technically, you know, it's a show account and all this, but the things people want us to endorse are very funny. And this is why Ryan can't be in charge, because he would say yes to all.

Matt Jones (47:16)

Sure, why not?

Drew Franklin (47:17)

He would, like, be. He would be like any. He'd be putting things in his ears like, he would be doing whatever. And so we've decided. I told Mario, don't ask, don't tell Ryan anything until you run it by me, because otherwise, Ryan is going to end up endorsing every product under the sun for, like, $30.

Matt Jones (47:38)

Why not?

Drew Franklin (47:40)

Because. Would you like the answer to that?

Matt Jones (47:43)

Yeah.

Drew Franklin (47:44)

When you endorse everything, you downgrade the value of the brand. The brain, like, you can't just be on every. You have to be careful so that you keep the value of the brand.

Matt Jones (47:55)

That's why you select just like one H. Vac company, one plumbing company, one roofing company.

Drew Franklin (48:01)

No, no, that's not what it means. You don't do everything. You don't do every type of thing, because then it stops being. You know what I mean? It stops being valuable because they're like, ryan will shill for anything if they pay me. That's not the view. You can have you're not. You're not a corporate.

Shannon The Dude (48:25)

Yeah, he is.

Matt Jones (48:26)

I'm close.

Jake (48:28)

If you're on every commercial, they're less likely to go buy these products.

Drew Franklin (48:32)

You pay Ryan.

Matt Jones (48:33)

You can't be.

Drew Franklin (48:35)

You can't be a corporate slut. You have to like you. Ryan Lemon has value.

Matt Jones (48:41)

Well, that's why I pick, you know, CNS Pools, One pool company, Stockton Mortgage. One mortgage company.

Drew Franklin (48:47)

But there are lots of different types of business. Yeah.

Matt Jones (48:49)

So I don't, you know, if there's.

Drew Franklin (48:51)

Can I tell you a funny story about Ryan?

Jake (48:52)

I would love a funny story about Ryan.

Drew Franklin (48:53)

Oh, somebody wrote me and said that Ryan was. You were doing one of your Uber Eats things. Right.

Matt Jones (48:59)

Doordash.

Drew Franklin (48:59)

Doordash. And that you came to their complex and you had the pizzas. It was pizza. And they said they watched. They looked outside and they saw Ryan roaming around looking for the apartment. And that you kept looking and kept looking and kept looking, and it didn't look like you can find it.

Matt Jones (49:17)

It was very hard to find.

Drew Franklin (49:18)

And so the person was like, I got to see how this ends. And they said at one point, Ryan just shrugged his shoulders and just dropped. Dropped it on, like, just in front of a random apartment. Is that true story?

Matt Jones (49:31)

No, it's not.

Drew Franklin (49:31)

Okay.

Matt Jones (49:32)

I think I put it down to call the person. I had to call them. I couldn't find their apartment. Then I picked it back up and.

Drew Franklin (49:37)

So you didn't just leave it on the ground?

Matt Jones (49:39)

No, no.

Drew Franklin (49:39)

I would have liked it, though, if you did that.

Matt Jones (49:41)

But I did have to put it down to get my phone out to call the person. Some of these apartment complexes, it's. It's confusing as hell to try to find an apartment.

Jake (49:48)

I can't find Mario's apartment. I've driving circles when I go to meet him stuff. I could see why you could get lost. Have you.

Drew Franklin (49:53)

Have you had a KSR person yet?

Matt Jones (49:55)

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Drew Franklin (49:57)

And are they nice to you?

Matt Jones (49:58)

Very nice. They gonna give me the old go cats.

Drew Franklin (50:00)

I mean, are they nice to you? Like, with a nice tip.

Matt Jones (50:03)

That hasn't happened yet.

Drew Franklin (50:05)

Oh, that's me.

Jake (50:06)

Come on. KSR list.

Drew Franklin (50:07)

Come on. That would be rude. That's rude. All right, so tomorrow we are here at the bar. Thank you, fellas very much for coming out. We are here at the bar for Wednesday, and then we will leave right after the show and head to Milwaukee.

Matt Jones (50:21)

First trip to Milwaukee. I'm actually very excited about this time.

Jake (50:23)

I'm very excited.

Shannon The Dude (50:25)

Let's go.

Matt Jones (50:26)

They gotta win, though.
