1. Introduction and Host Updates

The second hour of the KSR podcast picks up with Matt Jones mentioning his upcoming fellowship in Amsterdam, creating anticipation among listeners for his return next Monday. The crew discusses Matt's experiences abroad, including his attendance at what appeared to be a major darts event.

• Matt Jones [02:48]: "This is the last show without him before he returns from his fellowship over in Amsterdam. Kind of anxious to hear all the stories and we've seen some pictures he's posted."

Shannon "The Dude" Garth expresses interest in Matt’s darts event experience, highlighting the lively atmosphere comparable to European soccer events.

• Shannon The Dude [03:07]: "What is the World Series of Darts? I don't know what they call it. That looks like a lot of fun."

2. Local News Coverage: Kentucky Flooding

The crew shifts focus to significant flooding in McLean County, Kentucky, impacting schools and sporting events. The hosts express concern over the lack of widespread media coverage, emphasizing the severity of the situation in both western and eastern Kentucky.

• Matt Jones [10:22]: "I didn't realize this till I got a Note last night. McLean county, the flooding has been so bad over there at the school. They're not even back to school yet."

Shannon underscores the ongoing struggles of smaller communities amidst the flood, contrasting with the attention larger cities like Frankfort and Louisville receive.

• Shannon The Dude [11:20]: "There are a lot of small communities still dealing with it, like McLean County."

Matt also touches on the impact on Buffalo Trace’s production due to mudslides and ongoing water damage.

• Matt Jones [11:11]: "Buffalo Trace. They're getting back to their production. Hasn't been stalled, but that whole backside of that mudslide, they lost a couple of offices and things."

3. Alien Segment: Declassified CIA Files and UFO Sightings

One of the standout discussions revolves around a recently declassified CIA document detailing a Soviet encounter with a UFO over Ukraine. The document describes five short humanoids with large heads and black eyes emerging from a crashed flying saucer, leading to the petrification of 23 Soviet soldiers.

• Shannon The Dude [26:07]: "It's a big deal. A lot of people are talking about it years ago. This is dug up from a 250-page KGB report that is recounting the events that happened about a flying saucer over the Ukraine."

The hosts debate the credibility of the report, with Matt expressing skepticism about the plausibility of aliens possessing such destructive abilities.

• Matt Jones [26:50]: "I have a hard time believing it. But these are new sources sharing it. This isn't just me being crazy and making some up for radio."

Ryan Lemon adds to the skepticism, questioning why if such alien capabilities exist, only a specific group was affected.

• Ryan Lemon [29:19]: "Seems a little far-fetched. Like why haven't they come down and turned all of us into stone if they can do that?"

Shannon points out that similar UFO sightings have been reported across various states, including Michigan, California, New Jersey, and Florida, though Matt attributes these to advanced drone technology or foreign espionage.

• Matt Jones [32:38]: "I think those are drones. There's some sort of drones or China sending over, like, spy stuff on us."

The segment concludes with discussions on local UFO activity in Michigan and Alaska, with Miles from Fort Walton Beach, Florida, sharing firsthand accounts of unusual sightings in Alaska.

• Miles [41:31]: "I've seen some things that it's just, like, could be explained by aliens."

4. UK Sports Updates and Community Engagement

The podcast continues with updates on UK (University of Kentucky) sports, including baseball and men's basketball. The hosts discuss recent performances, upcoming games, and the addition of former UK players to the Savannah Bananas baseball team.

• Shannon The Dude [17:50]: "Two former UK baseball players, Johnny Hummel and Nick Lopez, have joined the Savannah Bananas baseball teams."

The hosts also touch upon local events, such as the Boy and Girls Club ribbon-cutting in Glasgow, attended by notable figures like Coach Mark Pope, Trent Noah, and Brandon Garrison. They express appreciation for the community engagement efforts to reconnect with fans.

• Shannon The Dude [10:22]: "I think Travis Perry going to play again had to have been a top five question."

5. Listener Interaction and Callers’ Stories

Several callers engage with the hosts, sharing personal stories and feedback. Notably, a caller commends Ryan Lemon for bringing energy to a technical presentation luncheon, praising his ability to infuse humor into a dry setting.

• Caller [19:35]: "I really appreciate the energy he brought in to lunch."

Another caller from Alaska shares eerie experiences with unexplained phenomena and UFO sightings, aligning with the podcast’s alien discussion.

• Miles [41:31]: "I've seen some things that it's just, like, could be explained by aliens."

In addition, listeners inquire about UK sports decisions and the inclusion of certain athletes, highlighting the community's active involvement and concern for team dynamics.

• Russ [34:31]: "Do you think, you know, with him being dismissed from the Nebraska team, that will kind of maybe have some people thinking, okay, are we going to tighten the ship or are we just looking to get the players that can help out our team this year?"

6. Promotional Segments and Advertisements

Throughout the episode, several advertisements are seamlessly integrated into the conversation:

• T-Mobile Ads: Repeated promotions emphasizing T-Mobile's 5G network and device switch offers.

  • T-Mobile Representative [00:00]: "Switch now, keep your phone and T Mobile will pay it off up to $800 per line via prepaid card..."

• DraftKings Sportsbook: Promotion for betting on NBA playoffs with a special promo code.

  • Ryan Lemon [22:43]: "Get in all the action at DraftKings Sportsbook, an official sports betting partner of the NBA... Use promo code KSR..."

• UK Federal Credit Union: Advertisement for home equity lines of credit.

  • Shannon The Dude [25:37]: "With the market leading home equity line of credit, you can improve your home and take advantage of rates as low as 6.5% APR..."

• Don Franklin Dealership: Promotion of vehicle sales and services.

  • Matt Jones [36:43]: "Choose from over 6,000 new and certified pre-owned vehicles... Visit donfranklin.com..."

7. Closing Remarks and Future Segments

As the episode winds down, the hosts discuss upcoming events, including the Drew Palooza Alien segment and the OVW debut of Cash Daniel. They also briefly touch upon the Lexington Children's Theatre fundraiser.

• Shannon The Dude [23:33]: "Check it out at Lexington Children's Theater's website... It's a fundraiser."

Matt highlights a text message mix-up involving the Governor of Kentucky, adding a humorous anecdote to conclude the episode.

• Matt Jones [33:30]: "I got a picture of Andy Beshear that leads the text message... They think I'm Leslie."

The hosts wrap up by teasing next week's content, anticipating Matt’s return and continued coverage of UK sports.

• Matt Jones [38:04]: "We're gonna do our draft king segment here... Tune in next week for his return."

[Ryan Lemon]

NMLSConsumeraccess.org welcome to hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

[Matt Jones]

All right, welcome back. Our number two, Ryan, Drew and Shannon. Matt will be back on Monday. So this is the last show without him before he returns from his fellowship over in Amsterdam. Kind of anxious to hear all the stories and we've seen some pictures he's posted. Kind of went to a wild street party. It looked like the other night he was at the.

[Shannon The Dude]

The darts. What is the World Series of Darts? I don't know what they call it. That looks like a lot of fun.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, it wasn't a street party. It was like an arena for darts.

[Shannon The Dude]

He got a media credential. I wonder if he name dropped ESPN and got back there to cover.

[Matt Jones]

Place was going crazy.

[Shannon The Dude]

Of all the things that he's gonna come back tell us. I'm most interested in the darts event. That's something I would have done if I were over there.

[Matt Jones]

I mean, they were going crazy like you do at a soccer event overseas in Europe. So makes us kind of hear all these stories and talk about. I don't know what he can and can't talk about the fellowship part, but even hearing the stories about that would be cool.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah. They're over there making sure he's hiding all the secrets like the Denver airport and things like that.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, before we go back to the phone lines, I got a couple questions for you. For me, you and Shannon.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Google apparently released, like, their most asked question in every state, most searched athlete in every state, things like that. So what do you think was the most asked most googled question in the state of Kentucky for Last year? For 2024? The most Googled question.

[Shannon The Dude]

It's a tough one. You got any guesses, Shannon?

[Ryan Lemon]

I'm sure it has something to do with Kentucky basketball. So is Travis Perry going to play tonight?

[Shannon The Dude]

Where does Mark Pope live?

[Ryan Lemon]

That's a good one.

[Shannon The Dude]

That's not.

[Matt Jones]

That is a good one.

[Shannon The Dude]

I'm trying to think of something Pope related.

[Matt Jones]

It's not UK related.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

It's not Arkansas related.

[Shannon The Dude]

Is it sports related?

[Matt Jones]

It is not sports related.

[Ryan Lemon]

Wow.

[Shannon The Dude]

I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

What? There was a big event in 2024 involving a couple politicians.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, well, you mean the election?

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, the election.

[Matt Jones]

The election?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

The most Google question.

[Shannon The Dude]

Who won the election?

[Matt Jones]

Where is my voting booth? Where's my voting okay.

[Shannon The Dude]

Way off with the market.

[Matt Jones]

No, but I'm 100 with you guys. I didn't think it'd be anything like that, but apparently that was the most googled question in Kentucky. Where is my voting location? All right, who do you think was the most searched Kentucky athlete last year in 2024?

[Shannon The Dude]

Like they're at Kentucky, the school, or they're from Kentucky. Is it pretty. Pretty broad?

[Matt Jones]

Could be either. Or.

[Shannon The Dude]

I'm gonna say Dan Issel because that one guy tried to kill him off.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, that's a good call. Rest in peace, Dan.

[Shannon The Dude]

I don't know, Trent.

[Matt Jones]

Noah sand, you got a guess?

[Ryan Lemon]

I'm gonna go. Travis Perry again, doubling down.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, I'll give you some hints. There was a big, huge worldwide sporting event.

[Shannon The Dude]

Oh, yeah. Okay. Sidney McLaughlin.

[Matt Jones]

Yes. Sidney McLaughlin.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Was the most googled athlete the Connor from Kentucky because she played one year here.

[Shannon The Dude]

I like Shannon's. Is Travis Perry going to play? That had to have been top five.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, that's the question we get all the time now.

[Matt Jones]

Here's another one that blew me away. The most googled sporting event in the state of Kentucky in 2024.

[Shannon The Dude]

Chicken fighting.

[Matt Jones]

That's a good guess. That's a real good guess.

[Ryan Lemon]

Most Google sporting event, huh? And I'm sure it's way off. Like, it's not Kentucky basketball. It's not Kentucky Football Derby.

[Matt Jones]

No. That's what I would have thought. That was my guess.

[Shannon The Dude]

Kentucky baseball.

[Matt Jones]

No.

[Ryan Lemon]

Was there like Little League World Series or something?

[Matt Jones]

No, it wasn't just in the state of Kentucky. This is the most googled question. It was like almost every. Every state. The Olympics wasn't the Olympics either. I think this is going to surprise you too. It surprised the heck out of me. That's why I wanted to bring it up.

[Ryan Lemon]

Lay it on us.

[Matt Jones]

The Logan Paul, Mike Tyson fight. Yes.

[Shannon The Dude]

That's embarrassing.

[Matt Jones]

And if you remember, probably a lot of it was because it. They had technical malfunctions. Like it stopped broadcasting. A lot of.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, it was lagging.

[Matt Jones]

And I bet a lot of people were probably getting online about that, trying to complain about it. But yeah, that was like in almost every state. That was the most asked most Google sporting event.

[Shannon The Dude]

What's. What's Ryan's most recent or most googled question? Let's do it.

[Matt Jones]

Okay. Here's my last five. Well, I can do all of them. The last one I just googled Cincinnati Reds. I wanted to see if they won last night.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

And then there's mycarepact.com. that's how I Funnel money to my kid. It's in jail.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Recent alien sightings. Because we're gonna have an alien topic today segment today. KHSAA scoreboard. I don't know why that's so high on my. I haven't looked at that in a while. UK baseball, Mavericks. UK Men's basketball, NBA playoffs. John Scott, uk. So my search history is not too bad.

[Shannon The Dude]

My show prep in there.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, that's probably what it's from. I actually had to do some show prep.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, I'm looking at mine. It's mostly transfer portal people. Fernando's food truck in Lexington. I had to check out their menu yesterday.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Shannon The Dude]

PGA 2K25 standard edition. You know, wild day for me yesterday.

[Matt Jones]

Must have been things up.

[Shannon The Dude]

I was hoping I'd have something a little more. A little more entertaining, but I guess I'm a pretty boring Googler.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon, what about you?

[Ryan Lemon]

So is this just Google? Because I don't know how to pull up just Google. I'll just tell you. I'll just share my. My history of websites I've been on. I've checked my email today. I got body.com. my beachbody stuff. I do college football makes rule change about the, you know, the injury, the fake injury. I Googled that this morning. Kentucky Wildcat basketball. I guess I was looking at the roster because we were talking about that on. On the pre show this morning. And then DeAndre Liggins and all the places that he's played because we had.

[Matt Jones]

Him on the show yesterday.

[Shannon The Dude]

Look at all the show prep we've done.

[Ryan Lemon]

That's right.

[Matt Jones]

Now the question is, if we did this next week after Matt's here, I guarantee our search history is going to be a lot different. We're actually trying to research stuff to get ready for the show today. This week.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah. And speaking of Liggins, I spent the day just doing more DeAndre Liggins. Just videos memories. I said on there. I enjoyed that interview, but I just had like a whole DeAndre Liggins appreciation afternoon after the show. I'd forgotten. Someone reminded us that after they beat West Virginia the second, the. The year after West Virginia knocked him out, he was yelling, do the John Wall now. Yeah. Found lots of old DeAndre clips. That was a good blast from the past having him on yesterday. And going back down that timeline. I'd forgotten a lot of that era, sadly.

[Matt Jones]

Well, you'd posted him hitting that big three against North Carolina.

[Shannon The Dude]

That kind of took off. We all remember that. But some of the other stuff too. But that was great hearing from him.

[Matt Jones]

Yesterday though, you could look like Coach Pope and a couple of the guys were in Glasgow yesterday.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yep.

[Matt Jones]

Doing ribbon cutting for the Boys and Girls Club in Glasgow.

[Shannon The Dude]

Right.

[Matt Jones]

Kelly Kraft, I think was there and brought down Coach Pope and a couple.

[Shannon The Dude]

Of the players, Trent Noah and Brandon Garrison. Pope, man, he just doesn't stop moving. You know, some people on Twitter were like, well, shouldn't we be looking at the portal? Why is he at this? If the crafts want you to be at the Glasgow opening, you are going to be at the Glasgow because we are portaling with the crafts money. So I'm glad he went to that and hearing from people in that area, it was a big deal having them there. I don't know if Travis and Brandon Garrison spoke or anything, but it was cool that they made the trip too.

[Matt Jones]

It's just good to see that connection come back to the fans, you know, doing little things like that to get that connection back with your fan base. After our previous coaches kind of fractured.

[Shannon The Dude]

For a couple years and I assume he took air travel and that was a quick trip and it didn't. Didn't impact recruiting. If anything, it was a net positive.

[Matt Jones]

For recruiting the Joe Craft helicopter or the plane. Or the plane going down there. So. And I also want to mention this is over in your side of the state. I didn't realize this till I got a Note last night. McLean county, the flooding has been so bad over there at the school. They're not even back to school yet. They've had to cancel all their sporting events. I had no idea they were still suffering that bad over McLean County.

[Shannon The Dude]

I didn't know that either, sadly. Hate to hear that Phoenix is from McLean county, who was on KSAR last week. And then that's pretty close to Owensboro. It's kind of in between us there. So we both know that area very well.

[Matt Jones]

Well, apparently it's so bad the schools are. Most of the schools are still out. Had to cancel all their sporting events. So they're really trying to struggle and pick things back up. It's kind of gone unreported, I think a little bit. They're still struggling. So bad. We think of the flooding in eastern Kentucky, but it's just as been bad in western Kentucky over this last round.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah. And you know, Frankfort and Louisville get a lot of headlines being the bigger cities and Buffalo Trace being under, but there are a lot of small communities still dealing with it, like McLean County.

[Matt Jones]

I did, I read a story on Buffalo Trace. They're getting back to their production. Hasn't been stalled, but that whole backside of that mudslide, they lost, I think a couple some offices and things. They. They're still really dealing with that over there.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, the water's down. There's still a lot of damage. That was, to me, stood out because I had just been there a few weeks before, and then like the. The Blanton's bottling building.

[Matt Jones]

Right.

[Shannon The Dude]

Going in there, and they're doing it by hand. I had just been in there, and then you see in the water is above the entrance. That was a kind of surreal sight.

[Matt Jones]

Well, they're lucky it didn't. Was it worse than it was? You know, that hill slide, that mudslide starts falling down years. It's a wonder, Shannon, that more of it didn't fall down into the river. It kind of got lucky there, I think.

[Ryan Lemon]

Could have been. Yeah, it could have been a lot worse, but still really bad. In Louisville, there's houses that are just like on the side of these big. I don't know if you would call them a cliff, but basically there's houses in Louisville that are just feet away from falling into a river. So we're dealing with that even here in Louisville from the flooding just a couple of weeks ago.

[Matt Jones]

So here, you know, life kind of moves on for most of us, but a lot of people still dealing with it. So if you can find a way to help out these people, I'm sure they would very much appreciate it. I got to tell you this. Join Jody Demling. First time we've uttered his name on this show in a while.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay, let's join him.

[Matt Jones]

Join Jody Demling and other racing Experts at the 6th Annual 840 WH Derby Betting Preview night presented by Twin spires.

[Shannon The Dude]

Did you fill out your credential application?

[Matt Jones]

I didn't because I don't want to go.

[Ryan Lemon]

There we go.

[Shannon The Dude]

You're going to sabotage your credential process.

[Matt Jones]

Fill out a credential request. You don't have to go.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay.

[Ryan Lemon]

I'm going to remember that next time.

[Shannon The Dude]

I know somebody in Amsterdam that won't love you saying that when he. When he says you have your credential.

[Matt Jones]

Are we supposed to be going into a show? There again.

[Shannon The Dude]

Have you not been checking your email?

[Matt Jones]

No.

[Ryan Lemon]

No.

[Shannon The Dude]

Well, you should check your email.

[Matt Jones]

Do we have a show at what on Oaks Day?

[Shannon The Dude]

Again, I don't know if we have a show, but our bosses at iHeart emailed us and said, fill this out.

[Matt Jones]

I saw that.

[Shannon The Dude]

And you just didn't want to fill it out.

[Matt Jones]

I just thought that they were. Everybody that's gonna have to work. I know we're not doing any shows there.

[Shannon The Dude]

I don't think they just sent it out for fun. If they. They said fill this out, I think they meant to fill it out. I'm a big company man.

[Matt Jones]

I'm busy that day.

[Ryan Lemon]

Okay, you're busy. You're having a party that day.

[Shannon The Dude]

Everybody remember this on Monday. I've warned him.

[Matt Jones]

I didn't see it. If we knew we were doing a show there, it's different. But if we're going there just to watch and hang out for 12 hours, I got other things to do that day.

[Shannon The Dude]

Well, the subject line of the email is 3Express points, ALL CAPS. IMPORTANT. 3Express points. So I just thought, seems like it's pretty important. It says each of you should have this or already have this and you need to fill this out. So I just. When I saw that, I thought, oh, should probably fill this out.

[Matt Jones]

So Shannon, when I saw it, I'm thinking to myself, this is for the people who are actually working.

[Ryan Lemon]

You know what?

[Matt Jones]

They probably think we're all supposed to be there doing a show, but we're not. So I don't have to fill it out.

[Ryan Lemon]

Don't feel like you're alone because it's the exact same thing that I thought. I hit delete. Because, I mean, that's. That's for, you know, if you want to have a credential, you know, there's your option to get right.

[Matt Jones]

Exactly.

[Ryan Lemon]

I don't know.

[Shannon The Dude]

I guess I misread. Important all caps with 6 exclamation points around it.

[Ryan Lemon]

Important if you're going.

[Matt Jones]

If you're going, you got to fill it out by last night, I think was the deadline.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oops.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon, I'll be.

[Shannon The Dude]

I can't save you all on Monday.

[Matt Jones]

[Matt Jones]

This is Lazy Tuesday.

[Ryan Lemon]

Wow.

[Matt Jones]

From the archives.

[Shannon The Dude]

That's the best part.

[Matt Jones]

So that song was swept the country when it first released. Kind of got tucked away in the archives. Corey Price found it, dug it up, of course. Legendary song.

[Ryan Lemon]

Is that a song? Because after I hear it now, I probably could have left that in the podcast. I don't even think that's a song.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, I think you could. They're just talking.

[Matt Jones]

They're just talking.

[Ryan Lemon]

Let me just.

[T Mobile Representative]

For our arch rival.

[Ryan Lemon]

There we go.

[Shannon The Dude]

Don't even.

[Ryan Lemon]

For the podcast listeners. Let me give you a taste.

[Shannon The Dude]

Don't match in the words Duke. Bad memories. Talking bad memories about Kentucky basketball. Love Kentucky basketball. We love Kentucky basketball.

[Matt Jones]

Tom Leach. Leach. There's one part don't they do Bill Kitely.

[Shannon The Dude]

That's at the beginning, you know. Now it's very common. There's videos all over the Internet. We got TikTok. It's very normal. But in the early YouTube days, you know, there wasn't a lot to watch. And this is one that went viral around bbm. We put it on ksr. Now, it's not uncommon at all to see someone making a music video, but this was. This is one of the originals.

[Matt Jones]

Fun to go down memory lane with that song.

[Shannon The Dude]

It is. So there you go. Collar was Jimmy. Little Jimmy, I think was the name. Now he can hear part of history.

[Matt Jones]

Teach little Jimmy about the Lazy Tuesday.

[Ryan Lemon]

We're not referring to that as a song now. That was just spoken word.

[Shannon The Dude]

Spoken word, yes.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Somebody sent me a picture of Calhoun, Kentucky, which is McLean County. My goodness. I had no idea. I mean, it is completely underwater. The river has completely flooded it.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, it's in there. I didn't know either. I actually feel bad that I didn't know being close to my home county. But that looks awful. Hope they can get back. Back to normal soon.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I think that's. Like I said, it's been underreported. I don't think the rest of the state. We all realize that it's over there in McLean county, you know, still. The guy said the school's out until.

[Shannon The Dude]

Further notice, I'd say so That's a pretty, pretty bad sight there. What you show me that aerial view. So we're thinking of them. Hope everything gets better soon.

[Matt Jones]

We'll tweet that out. Also, I tweeted out the picture of my gold Mustang, but we'll tweet out that picture of the Calhoun. Two former UK baseball players, Johnny Hummel and Nick Lopez have joined the Savannah Bananas baseball teams. Probably maybe one of the. They play against each other.

[Shannon The Dude]

Maybe they're on different teams. But it's the Banana League now. There's more than Savannah. They're not on the Savannah team, but one might be in Texas.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Shannon The Dude]

There's been a lot of copycats, I guess original ones, but it's banana ball.

[Matt Jones]

Banana ball. But they play against the Bananas every game, right?

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

And they travel across the country. So two former cats playing in. Well, they're playing banana ball is what they're doing.

[Shannon The Dude]

Lopez especially, he. He kind of feels built for it. He was kind of silly over here. Even though he's good. He had the big Raleigh fingers mustache and had a lot of personalities. So I think he has found his calling in the Banana League.

[Matt Jones]

So we go check them out. I wish.

[Shannon The Dude]

Did you go in there in Louisville?

[Matt Jones]

No, I didn't.

[Shannon The Dude]

That seems like something you'd want to do.

[Matt Jones]

I wanted to go, but I couldn't go. I was out of town that weekend or something, I don't remember. But maybe they'll do another pass through and play play here with these UK guys. I think they'd get a good crowd that came through Kentucky again.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, I couldn't go to Louisville either. Those are like getting Taylor Swift tickets. You had to be on and get them, you know, in seconds. But I hope they come back through through too. I'd love to see that live.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon, did you go?

[Ryan Lemon]

I did not, no. I wasn't able to get tickets in the lottery. I mean, who would have thought?

[Matt Jones]

Oh, they had a lottery for tickets.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, it was crazy. Yeah. You can't just go up and buy tickets at the ticket box, ticket, ticket office. You have to like win a lottery to get the tickets.

[Matt Jones]

Well, if you've ever went quick, they had like a 30 for 30 or something on the Savannah Bananas. Have you ever watched that documentary? It's incredible how this is just blossomed into this entity that it is today.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, we see the clips to go viral. Makes me wonder, you know, when a guy does a five minute dance and walks up and gets a hit, like how often do they actually get, like, how many times do they miss and have to do a retake? That's why I want to see it live and see what it's really like. Not just the, you know, 20 second clips. We get online.

[Matt Jones]

859-280-2287. That's our phone number if you want to call and get on board. So let's get another caller. Shannon, who we got Tyler. Tyler, go ahead, Tyler.

[Caller]

Hey, morning, guys. I apologize I missed the first hour, but I don't know if this came up, but I was at the engineering lunch yesterday.

[Shannon The Dude]

Oh, tell us all about.

[Caller]

Just wanted to say. I want to say I really appreciate Ryan coming out. He's right in the middle. He's right in the middle of five hours of technical presentations. So very dry, not a lot of humor. So I think everybody really appreciated the energy he brought in to lunch.

[Matt Jones]

So nice. I went back.

[Caller]

I'm a podcast listener usually, so you mentioned, you talked about it. I went back last night and listened to all of it. I think you guys prepped him well. You know, you got him set up, got him a little. Maybe had a little nervous energy, but I think everybody loved it. We even had to basically cut him off for time. Like he filled the time allotted and more. And we, we. I think it even stretched a little further to get us to the next session in time. But no, it was great. Let's sign you up for some more, Ryan.

[Matt Jones]

I didn't know where that was going, but he must not be one of the guys that was throwing there. You didn't throw the protractor at me when I was in there?

[Caller]

No, no, no, no.

[Matt Jones]

Well, appreciate it. Thank you.

[Ryan Lemon]

So you're so good you can now do seminars for people on how to do public speaking.

[Matt Jones]

Well, I do work for Executive Train and we, we sell our training services. So I could probably be the training trainer guy that does public speaking.

[Shannon The Dude]

You need to get a website for speaking engagements, not just say yes to emails. You know, like celebrities. They have a site, $10,000 for me to come speak at. You already have two very good endorsements from people who attended yesterday. So why don't you turn this into a business?

[Matt Jones]

I mean, I did get this free T shirt.

[Shannon The Dude]

We got coach up on your business acumen. You need money, not free T shirts. Free T shirts are great, but you can now put a price tag on this speaking since it went so well yesterday. Like you said, you went the full 30 minutes. They had to play the wrap it up box for you to stop talking.

[Matt Jones]

We have the gal who was leading it kind of got up from her table, was standing beside the podium like, okay, I knew I was about up. I looked at her. I looked there. She's getting ready to step on stage. I got, like I said, I got to tell one more joke. So I told my room full of timeout joke at the end it with, oh, place went nuts. I mean, it was like, you know, going crazy.

[Shannon The Dude]

Ryan lemon.com Five grand. A speaking engagement.

[Matt Jones]

Who's next? Shannon?

[Ryan Lemon]

Phone lines are empty.

[Matt Jones]

Phone lines.

[Ryan Lemon]

[Matt Jones]

Appreciate it, Shannon. I should have mentioned. And we're talking about UK baseball. They're at Tennessee this weekend. That start.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Starts tonight, right?

[Shannon The Dude]

Yep. Got take down the Vols. SEC slate's been pretty tough. Don't have many series wins. It's. It'd be nice to still one down.

[Matt Jones]

In Knoxville and Tennessee baseball. Their fans are such a joy and delight to be around down there.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, I mentioned this earlier in the week. I had a friend in Knoxville invite me down. I said yes. And then the next day I'm like, wait a minute. I don't want to go to Knoxville and be around all them. I'll watch it on tv, but I hope they get a win.

[Matt Jones]

You got an update on your play or another dress rehearsal or when you're going to finally know your lines?

[Shannon The Dude]

I haven't focused on the lines yet. I'll get to that. Got a busy Easter weekend with family visiting, so not any Real new updates. But I'm looking forward. It's a week from today.

[Matt Jones]

I've had a lot of people ask. They want to come watch the play. How do they do? How do they get tickets?

[Shannon The Dude]

You go to the Lexington Children's Theatre website. It's called the Curtain call. It's there. The price of the ticket all goes to charity. We're doing this for goodwill. There's a lot of kids in their summer programs and they travel the state and to put on the productions they do, they need a little money. So this is a fundraiser. If you buy a ticket and if you're there, there's auctions and fun games, live auction, silent auction. I think you can even bid online. So if you're interested, check it out at Lexington Children's Theater's website.

[Matt Jones]

Is it a thing where if it's so successful, you might have a second night the next night? They should have more than one night.

[Shannon The Dude]

I agree. I'm willing to tour the state if they want to, but it's a one one off thing. But if it goes well, I might ask them if I can pursue other opportunities within the organization.

[Matt Jones]

How did they get you to do this anyway? I don't even know how that started.

[Shannon The Dude]

A guy named Kevin who was in here at the bar yesterday, you just missed him. He had to rush out here. He invited me and I had just been singing the Greatest Showman around my house. So he caught me at a great time. Kind of thought I was already on Broadway when I saw the email. So I was a quick yes. And then a few days later I get started getting the information. I'm thinking what have I signed up for? But it'll be here next week.

[Matt Jones]

There we go, Drew in on the stage. We'll be right back. Alien topic coming up here on Sports Radio. TJ Smith, personal injury attorney.

[Shannon The Dude]

Call tj. He'll make him pay.

[Ryan Lemon]

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

[Matt Jones]

The long awaited Drew Palooza Alien segment is about to happen. So who is our alien segment sponsored.

[Shannon The Dude]

By Drew UK Federal Credit Union. They understand that home is where the heart is, but it's also where the equity is. With the market leading home equity line of credit, you can improve your home and take advantage of rates as low as 6.5% APR plus there are no annual fees, no closing costs and you can draw your funds only when you need them. So measure twice and apply once for a home equity line of credit from UKFCU, visit ukfcu.org or visit one of the seven local branches to see how a HELOC can make your home improvement dreams a reality. APR percentage. I guess I wasn't supposed to read that. Federally insured by NCUA equal housing lender NMLS number 491194.

[Matt Jones]

If there's one thing UK Federal Credit Union knows, it's aliens. And I know you wanted to do an alien segment when you hosted Drew Palooza last week, but you have so much going on. Yeah, didn't get to it. So before Matt gets here Monday, I thought we got to give you your chance to let you do your alien segment.

[Shannon The Dude]

Shannon, I said we can't just. I can't just create a alien thing. I need some stuff in the news. But luckily five days ago there was some news.

[Matt Jones]

Right?

[Shannon The Dude]

So I'm just gonna read you the. The news story, get your opinion.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Shannon The Dude]

And then Shan, I will give our takes. But this is as of five days ago.

[Matt Jones]

All right.

[Shannon The Dude]

If I didn't have this, I don't really know what I'd be saying. Have you seen the declassified Cold War era CIA files?

[Matt Jones]

No, but tell me about it.

[Shannon The Dude]

It's a big deal. A lot of people are talking about it years ago. This is dug up from a 250 page KGB report that is recounting the events that happened about a flying saucer over the Ukraine. These. These Soviets claim that a. A ship, I guess we'll call it. It had five short humanoids with large heads and large black eyes.

[Matt Jones]

Don't laugh.

[Shannon The Dude]

This is news. This is on actual news sources. This isn't me on Reddit. This isn't me on all the weird websites I go to. This is news.

[Matt Jones]

Classified documents.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yes, several news outlets covered this, alright? It said it fell to Earth. And these five short humanoids with large heads and large black eyes came out. And when they escaped the debris from their ruined ship, they huddled together and merged into a single object. This is according to soldiers in a CIA document that was recently declassified. Are you sticking with me?

[Matt Jones]

I'm with you so far. They merged into. Made one big alien.

[Shannon The Dude]

I guess I know what you know. I'm just reading it straight from this docket. They even uploaded the actual document. So this isn't just people typing crap on a blog. Yes, this exists at least the documents claiming we're not to the crazy part yet.

[Matt Jones]

It's crazy.

[Shannon The Dude]

So after these five little fellows with big eyes.

[Matt Jones]

Birds turn into one?

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah. Transformers 23 soldiers who had gathered around to watch the phenomenon. They were all turned to stone. There you go.

[Ryan Lemon]

There you go. Medusa. Yeah, that's how Stonehenge became a thing. All those rocks, they used to be soldiers.

[Shannon The Dude]

So in short, CIA document.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

About some Russian KGB soldiers. They're watching this thing fly around, it wrecks, hits the ground hard. Maybe as hard as Katy Perry ship did the other day. They all come crawling out. Jeff Bezos opened the door and let them out. And the soldiers are gathered around 23 of them. And these five things merge into one and then turn them all to stone.

[Matt Jones]

So where are these 23 stone soldiers now?

[Ryan Lemon]

The Stonehenge?

[Matt Jones]

Oh, they put them on top of each other and put it together.

[Shannon The Dude]

I didn't read that part.

[Ryan Lemon]

Here's a quote here. It says just to kind of follow up on what you said there. In a few seconds, the spears grew much bigger, exploded by flaring up with an extremely bright light. At that very instant, 23 soldiers who had watched the phenomenon turned into stone poles.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, that's not possible.

[Shannon The Dude]

But why would it be in a CIA document that was just declassified?

[Matt Jones]

I think these Russian soldiers may have told that story by. That they, they had too much Russian vodka that night. I don't know.

[Shannon The Dude]

You're blaming. No part of you believes that? Five little fellows with big heads and big black eyes.

[Matt Jones]

With big black eyes? No.

[Shannon The Dude]

Not at all.

[Matt Jones]

Not even a little bit. Do you?

[Shannon The Dude]

As someone who, who believes there things out there, I have a hard time believing it. But I mean this is, these are new sources sharing it. This isn't some wacky dream or some guy I met on the street with tinfoil on his head. This is, this is in documents. You can read them. 250 pages.

[Matt Jones]

That's a lot of reading. Shannon, what do you think?

[Ryan Lemon]

Seems a little far fetched. Like why haven't they come down and turned all of us into stone if they can do that?

[Matt Jones]

That's true. If they have that capability, yeah. Why is it just these 23 Russian soldiers?

[Ryan Lemon]

Here's a picture in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[Matt Jones]

You got a picture of the stone Russian soldier?

[Shannon The Dude]

Well, this is. They, they fire these missiles. There's, there's a few photos. There they are with their missiles. They're not stone yet. And then where the next photo shows the object.

[Matt Jones]

Who took the picture?

[Shannon The Dude]

I don't know, I wasn't there. But it says Universal History Archive. And then there's. There's the thing where they were shooting at it and then there's the documents.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I think there's way too much partying going on that night. And they came back and they tried to cya. They came up with this ridiculous story how they got so drunk that they didn't do what they were supposed to do and they turned into. They said they must of their guys turned into stone.

[Shannon The Dude]

Well, they're still stone, so they didn't come back and do anything. There were two soldiers who were not turned to stone. They're farther back. Says they were in the shade and they weren't exposed to the luminous explosion. They were the two survivors.

[Matt Jones]

Those are the two that verified this story? Yeah, those are the two.

[Shannon The Dude]

Are you calling the KGB a liar?

[Matt Jones]

Calling those two guys drunk is what I'm calling them. Those two guys. Now I can get. I can go along with like there's recent reports about foreign planets having water on it. Maybe there's some life in this water I can agree with. There's alien life out there as far as like maybe in the water, in the soil, but there's not big eyed little five foot green men that morph into one big guy.

[Shannon The Dude]

All right, well, when they get here, you better look out. I'm gonna be like the two guys hiding while you go check it out. It says the aliens possess such weapons and technology that go beyond our wildest assumptions. They can stand up for themselves if attacked. So don't. Don't be shooting down any, any crafts if you see them in the air.

[Matt Jones]

Well, that's another thing, Shannon. The state of Michigan has reported like this unbelievable resurgence of ufo. UFO sightings like just in the past month or so, like all over. I don't know what it is about Michigan, but they're like all over lakes.

[Shannon The Dude]

They want the lake.

[Matt Jones]

They want the lake. Is that what it is?

[Ryan Lemon]

Possibly. I think that now you're so knowledgeable that you could go do like your own ALIE research luncheon and you could speak on it for 25 to 30 minutes. What do you think? You think you'll do that now?

[Matt Jones]

No, but I did when we. I did a late game postgame show one time. It went like 1:00 in the morning, 2:00 in the morning. And we switched over to the alien show in the middle of our post game show just to hear what they were talking about. And of course it's just ridiculousness, little green men and things like that. But like I said, I can be talked into having life out there somewhere. Just not little green men that turn people into stone.

[Shannon The Dude]

What about when we went to Roswell, to the. I guess it was a museum and they had actual evidence of these. There's been some crashes. They had photos. I mean, you were there. You've been basically ground zero of all this. Just no part of you believed it at all.

[Matt Jones]

Total Photoshop bull crap is what all that was out there. Tourist trap is what that is.

[Shannon The Dude]

I'm already nervous talking about it on the air because I don't want them coming after them. Or the kgb. Neither one of them. I don't want aliens or KGB on me. But you downplayed it. I'm worried about you.

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, when Ryan doesn't come on the show Monday because he's turned to stone, we'll know what happened to him over the weekend.

[Shannon The Dude]

Or if he's not at our Oak show on Friday, it's because I warned him to fill out the email and he didn't.

[Matt Jones]

Okay, here's. Here's something. I'll give you this. And just. In the last month, there have been UFO sightings in Michigan, California, New Jersey, Florida. All documented reports of unidentified flying objects flying over the their land.

[Shannon The Dude]

So you're saying that, but you're also not believing it.

[Matt Jones]

I think those are drones. There's some sort of drones or China sending over, like, spy stuff on us.

[Shannon The Dude]

Would you rather it be China or aliens?

[Matt Jones]

Well, if you're a. If your alien can turn me to stone, I'm taking China.

[Shannon The Dude]

All right, let's. That's Ryan's thoughts on aliens. I don't necessarily believe the Stone thing, but it is. It is reported everywhere about this document. I guess the document could be made up, but this isn't just me being crazy and making some up for radio. It's on a lot of websites this week.

[Matt Jones]

So there is the Drew Alien segment from Drew Palooza. Little carryover riveting. Good stuff.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah. There you go.

[Matt Jones]

Everyone, I do want to tell you a text I just got on the Avision Glass text machine. First of all, there's a picture of Andy Beshear that leads the text message, and it says, hey, Leslie, Andy Beshear here. Governor of Kentucky and vice chair of the DGA with an important message. This message is only nine sentences long, so I need you to read every single word. That's as far as I'm getting.

[Shannon The Dude]

Who's Leslie?

[Matt Jones]

I get. I get messages for Leslie all the time. I don't know where they've got that at, but they think I'm Leslie.

[Shannon The Dude]

Have you any more random pizza deliveries at your house like you had a couple weeks ago?

[Matt Jones]

That guy totally messed up. That was. It's like I said, he'd paid for the pizzas. It might have been funny. But he totally wasted those guys money. Wasted those guys time. That was not funny.

[Shannon The Dude]

I would love to just sit and read your phone sometime with all the stuff you get.

[Matt Jones]

Well, this number, but Andy Mashear is just now getting blocked because I'm not. Leslie. 859-280-2287. We got any callers, Shannon?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, we do. Let's talk to Russ.

[Matt Jones]

All right, Russ, go ahead.

[Russ]

Hey, guys. Greetings from Vanderburg county, but I'm down here in Loveland. Fort Walton Beach, Florida, and a little spring break. Hey, if there would happen to be green little people, would Ryan have to go up and touch them just to make sure that they. They are real like you did at the Devil's Tower and stuff? And real quick. Okay, and real quick, the. The Gilmore player that's coming back to Kentucky from Nebraska. I know that in the past years, things were kind of getting a little lax. And do you think, you know, with him being dismissed from the Nebraska team, that will kind of maybe have some people thinking, okay, are we going to tighten the ship or are we just looking to get the players that can help out our team this year? I'll hang up and listen. Thanks, guys. Have a good weekend.

[Matt Jones]

Appreciate it, Russ. Have a good time down there in Florida. I think that's the big question. If you're going to take this kid on who's, like, on not just a second chance, but a third chance. After he got kicked, it kind of. Well, he kind of got dismissed from Kentucky. Now he's been dismissed from Nebraska. Now you're bringing him back. It has to be a zero tolerance policy with this guy. You can't let anything slide with him. I think it's the only way it's going to work, Drew.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah. And like you asked, you know, they're adding him because they want to win football games. The receiver room needs some bodies. I mean, that's the reason they're doing it. But it could be the case, you know, he fell so far, realized if I'm going to reach my potential or have any kind of career about this, I got to straighten up, get serious. Maybe he. Maybe he needed to goof up to learn his lesson, but we really won't know until it all plays out.

[Matt Jones]

Well, that's what the message I got I read yesterday, like, he's a good kid. He just makes some really stupid, bad mistakes. Well, now's your chance. I mean, you make one more mistake, you may be forgotten forever.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, it'll be zero tolerance for him this time around, I would expect.

[Matt Jones]

Got A text message for go to the break. My father in law is a retired air force pilot. He says you can't find a military pilot anywhere that hasn't chased something in the air that they can't explain.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yep, lots of those out there. They all have stories.

[Matt Jones]

They all have stories.

[Shannon The Dude]

Ryan just here dismissing it like they don't know what they're talking about, but.

[Matt Jones]

They don't say anything. It turns somebody into stone.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay, I agree that one's a little far fetched, you know.

Welcome back final segment of Kentucky sports radio. It's our final segment actually without Matt who will be back Monday for sure. We got some good stuff planned next week so be sure to tune in next week for his return. We're gonna do our draft king segment here. There are the play in games in tonight in the NBA. We got two of them. Heat Hawks and Mavericks Grizzlies. Heat Hawks. What's that play look like, Drew?

[Shannon The Dude]

The Heat are a one and a half point favorite in Atlanta. You like the Heat of the Hawks there.

[Matt Jones]

Tyler Hero looks so good the other night. Him and Bam both look so good for the Heat the other night. And what Trey Smith had like some.

[Shannon The Dude]

Trey Young.

[Matt Jones]

Trey Young. Trey Smith. Who's Trey Smith? Trey Young.

[Shannon The Dude]

You've been on fire with the names.

[Matt Jones]

He had a little controversy in his game the other day.

[Shannon The Dude]

Threw a ball at the ref.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

Can't be doing that.

[Ryan Lemon]

Fake the ref too.

[Matt Jones]

So I'm going to go the Heat.

[Shannon The Dude]

Going with the Heat as well. Side with the Cats.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. What about you, Shannon?

[Ryan Lemon]

All right, let's make it three. We're all going with the Heat.

[Matt Jones]

Going with the Heat tonight.

[Shannon The Dude]

Adam, spread one and a half. I'll cover that.

[Matt Jones]

And then the late game tonight. The Mavericks AD PJ Washington at Grizzlies. John Morant.

[Shannon The Dude]

Memphis is a six and a half point favorite.

[Jimmy]

Whoa.

[Shannon The Dude]

I'm going with the Cats to cover that. I don't know if they'll win. Davis in Washington with the Mavs, but I think they'll cover the six and a half. We'll have a close game.

[Matt Jones]

That's a lot of points.

[Shannon The Dude]

It is.

[Matt Jones]

I would lean. Yeah. Mavs mas may not win, but I think they cover that. So I'll go the Mavs to cover.

[Ryan Lemon]

I'll take the Mavs to cover. And Mavs to win.

[Shannon The Dude]

Ooh. Little money line.

[Ryan Lemon]

Moneyline with the Mavs.

[Matt Jones]

So we're all going together. All unanimous.

[Shannon The Dude]

I'm going to parlay the Heat and the maps. We got two Cats on each team. Be fun. Little Friday night.

[Matt Jones]

Who have you picked to win the NBA? Who's. Who's in the finals?

[Ryan Lemon]

It's a play in game.

[Matt Jones]

No, but I mean, we get to the NBA championship, who's in the finals?

[Ryan Lemon]

Okay.

[Shannon The Dude]

I mean, they're the favorite, but Oklahoma City has been so good.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

I'll say OKC Shay gets to the finals, and then it's going to be probably Cavs or Celtics. I'll say the Celtics experience gets them over the Cavs even though the Cavs had the better regular season.

[Matt Jones]

So you say Celtics? Thunder.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah. Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Who you got?

[Shannon The Dude]

So kind of a lame pick, but I think that's what it would be.

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, I got to go with my Celtics and I think probably. Would you say Thunder?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, I kind of agree with that. I'll go. I'll go Nuggets. Just to be different.

[Matt Jones]

Well, that's.

[Shannon The Dude]

Well, I was going to say. Well, I don't want to take a pig. They're four seed. They're sneaky. Four seed.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

Jamal Murray wants to get hot. We all know what Jokic can do, but Murray has a good post.

[Matt Jones]

I'm a Shane. I'm going Celtics Nuggets, I think, for the NBA championship. So there's your expertise. Draft king picks go to DraftKings. We're a DK partner, so we're all proud to support them as much as we can.

[Shannon The Dude]

Or get on DK horse and do some Keeneland. That's what I'm gonna do this afternoon.

[Matt Jones]

Keeneland will be crazy this weekend. It's Easter weekend. Today's Good Friday. People are off work. Weather supposed to be spectacular today.

[Shannon The Dude]

I'm pretty mad at myself. This is the third straight Keeneland meet I'm gonna miss. I got to get back out there.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

Been too long. Usually. I try to go a couple times to meet. I've been too distant the last couple years.

[Matt Jones]

Well, if you feel like you're presidential, like they want you to for the derby, you can go anytime. All right, let's go back to the phone lines, get a couple calls before we get out of here. Shannon, who we got?

[Ryan Lemon]

Miles.

[Matt Jones]

Miles, go ahead, Miles. You got to be quick.

[Shannon The Dude]

Hey, guys. Hey.

[Miles]

So perfect on call about aliens. I'm actually. I live up here in Alaska, and if you want to see some kind of spooky things or hear about people disappearing and get some real evidence of aliens, this is kind of the place you want to visit. But.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

Have you seen anything firsthand?

[Miles]

I mean, you go out in the woods and you see weird lights, things flying over, stuff like that. I mean, yeah, I mean, you could definitely see a lot of things here that. And I've seen some things that it's just, like, could be explained by aliens.

[Matt Jones]

There we go. Well, apparently, that's not. It's. Michigan's not the hub of alien activity. It's Alaska.

[Shannon The Dude]

A lot of it's going on in Alaska.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. All right, Shannon, who's next?

[Ryan Lemon]

Let's go to Jimmy.

[Matt Jones]

Jimmy, what's the odds this is another alien question. Go ahead, Jimmy.

[Jimmy]

What's up, boys? Not actually an alien question, but I've been meaning to call in for a couple, like, days now, and now that we're on dumb ways to die, this is the perfect time to do it. I got on the wrong side of tick tock the other night. Have you ever seen cave diving?

[Shannon The Dude]

No. Tell us about it.

[Jimmy]

Well, it's certainly a foolproof way to cross the rainbow Bridge with the fact that you go underwater in a cave system that's already claustrophobic. So if you want to. If you want to waste some needless time, go over to Tick Tock and search cave diving. My only other thing was. What's your top three Tyler Childer songs going into the weekend? Thanks, boys.

[Matt Jones]

Appreciate it very much. White House Roads. My favorite. It will always be my favorite song. I just sang it out there for Mario on one of our videos.

[Shannon The Dude]

Oh, that's what you were doing outside. I wonder why you all stepped out there. I've been singing that I will wait for you song a lot. Is that the name of it?

[Matt Jones]

Is that the name of the song?

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, that's been in my head a lot. I like Lady Mae Virgie. Lady Mae's my other feathered Indians is one of the first ones that put them on the map.

[Matt Jones]

Take me back to Virgie.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, it's been non stop Childers around my house for a couple weeks, so a lot of them are in my head.

[Matt Jones]

Jenny, you got any more?

[Ryan Lemon]

Now you guys are the Tyler Childers fans, so I think I'm probably the wrong person to ask, but.

[Shannon The Dude]

In your love. That's the one.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

All right, let's get one more call before we get out of here. Who is it?

[Ryan Lemon]

Steve.

[Matt Jones]

Steve. Go ahead, Steve.

[Caller]

Yeah. Did you all mention Bird man about the married players?

[Shannon The Dude]

No, but somebody sent it to me. I didn't get to add it, but go ahead, tell us about it.

[Caller]

Yeah. His wife passed away while he was playing at uk. She suddenly died, and then his mom wasn't short after that.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, right.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I'm glad you got. I forgot that story, but you're right. Yeah, they were married. Music. His wife passed away tragically, and we.

[Shannon The Dude]

Talked about him last week when we were doing our history lesson, but he passed away just a few weeks ago, too.

[Matt Jones]

Shannon Cash. Daniel about to make his OVW debut. Where is it?

[Ryan Lemon]

That's going to be one week from tonight, and it's going to be at the Appalachian Wireless arena as a part of hillbilly days, so. Yeah. Yeah. So make sure you get out there. He's going to be wrestling superior Tony Evans, and it's going to be a big event for. For OVW and especially for Cash Daniel making his OVW debut in his hometown.

[Shannon The Dude]

I think that Tony Evans got made. Cash look 7ft tall in that video.

[Matt Jones]

Well, Cash is a big guy, and I think all the mountains will show up and support him making his OVW debut a week from tonight in Pikeville.

[Shannon The Dude]

He'll be on Monday.

[Matt Jones]

It'll be great fun. All right, Drew Palooza and Ryan Palooza is over. Matt Palooza starts on Monday. We'll see you then. Goodbye.
