Welcome to hour two of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Now here's Matt Jones.

[Shannon The Dude]

Welcome back. Hour number two here, Kentucky Sports Radio at the KS Bar and Grill open for lunch and I have a new second favorite food item here. Shannon, that fish is really good.

[Matt Jones]

The new catfish sounds like you're still enjoying some.

[Shannon The Dude]

I didn't get it all down before it started but they have like a new we have a new batter on it and that is I liked it before but that is much better.

[Matt Jones]

I can't wait to try it.

[Shannon The Dude]

That is much better. So we're just so, you know, this summer we are, we're redoing some of our food items. Pretty much everything but the wings. We're redoing, trying to upgrade a little bit because, you know, over time, you got to keep changing a restaurant. And it's hard, hard work for restaurants in today's world. So we're changing a lot of our food items this summer, pretty much. Like I said, everything but the wings. And this is a definite upgrade. So I'm in.

[Ryan Lemon]

Ryan Lemon, people ask all the time, you know, what should we get besides wings? I always suggest the catfish. I mean, I really think it's the best in town. They just made it even better.

[Shannon The Dude]

That is very, very good. Kudos to Monique. Worked on that, that recipe and now.

[Drew Franklin]

Watch out, Watch out for more catfish. Yeah, I want to take my headset off and finish it while you guys talk.

[Shannon The Dude]

Bass fishing is what they fish in the Kentucky State championships. So that's, it's not that. That's the answer to.

[Ryan Lemon]

How about Muhlenberg county get accused of home lake advantage? We go on the road, we're going to win it anyway at Lake Cumberland.

[Shannon The Dude]

Good thing to do. Speaking of going on, speaking of going on the road and winning Knicks State, well, they didn't go on the road. They stayed home and won last night as the Celtics. That was such a great game in the fourth quarter, yet Jason Tatum going off and then Jalen Brunson was amazing down the stretch. Then unfortunately, Tatum got hurt at the end. It looked like the Knicks were going to win. It looks bad for Tatum, but did you see the scene outside of Madison Square Garden after the game? Oh, you got go. If you haven't seen the video, 7th Avenue basically shut down.

[Ryan Lemon]

Really?

[Shannon The Dude]

With. With Knicks fans that, I mean, it is it shut down. They basically. Cars couldn't even get on the road. They were going so crazy. It looked like New York outside of Madison Square Garden would have been the most fun place to be in the world last night, Drew, after they won that game. Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

And if that's how they act, going up 3:1. If they go to the Eastern Conference finals, which it looks like they will, I don't think they've been since 2000. That place is going to be.

[Shannon The Dude]

I mean, they, I mean, they, you know, it looks like Indiana may be there. They could beat them. They'll have home court advantage over Indiana as well.

[Drew Franklin]

And I really hope Indiana gets the job done because I grew up on the Pacers, Knicks. You know, there's been a lot of good NBA rivalries because that was in my era. I like Reggie. I'm be glad to see that in the playoffs.

[Shannon The Dude]

Shannon, Tyrese, Halliburton and Jalen Brunson got in a WWE E ring together last summer. I don't know if you saw. One of them was with Jake Paul and the other one was with La Knight. So there's a, there's a big rivalry there. I think it would be awesome. I'm all in on the Knicks being good that I kind of adopted the Knicks as my team a few years ago just because I, I only cheer for Kentucky guys and there was a period where they had like five of them. Now they have Carl, but. But I'm excited to see him do well.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, everybody thought it was gonna be the Cavs and the Celtics and here come the Pacers and the Knicks. Like Drew said, man, in the 90s that was the series. A lot of times that was the much bet that was the best series of the whole championship was that Eastern Conference finals between those two teams.

[Drew Franklin]

That second half, that was some high level basketball. They were just trading shots. The Knicks pulled away at the very end right as Tatum got hurt. But neither side could miss for most of the fourth quarter.

[Shannon The Dude]

Brunson's awesome.

[Ryan Lemon]

He's unbelievable.

[Shannon The Dude]

Jalen Brunson is for a little. Dude is unbelievable in crunch time.

[Ryan Lemon]

He just does not miss.

[Shannon The Dude]

So let's talk real quick about the Kentucky guys in the playoffs. Carl Towns, obviously on this team last night they had to take him out because he couldn't guard anybody down the stretch. But he's actually played really well. SGA has played awesome.

[Ryan Lemon]

Unbelievable.

[Shannon The Dude]

Jamal Murray's kind of had a resurgence in the playoffs a little bit after having, you know, an up and down season. Case and Wallace hit three threes in the last game to kind of turn that Oklahoma City Thunder game around. These UK guys have been playing pretty amazing during this thing.

[Drew Franklin]

It's been fun to watch. I guess it was Randall Julius, he had a triple double two games ago. They're, they're also going to move on. But Jokic played bad. I think it was game three and Murray flipped that switch that he can only he can do sometimes and he carried him to that win. It's been fun watching all those. I'm going to get pretty conflicted when it gets down to especially if the Nuggets advance. Well, you know, I like Thunder too, but we're going to have a lot of UK people in the conference.

[Shannon The Dude]

You're going to have a Western Conference final with Randall versus SGA and Case and Wallace and then you're going to have Carl Towns in the Eastern Conference final. Probably, you know, a lot of Kentucky representation there.

[Ryan Lemon]

I Love the playoffs. I mean, I know we don't want play much attention to NBA during the season, but I love the playoffs. And these guys are just playing so great. You know, you mentioned the patient. They've got Isaiah Jackson.

[Drew Franklin]

Ian Jackson.

[Ryan Lemon]

Ian Jackson, yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Well, let's not forget while you were gone, I called him Ian Jackson several times. Let's not forget Dillingham hadn't been playing, but there's a chance they can start using him soon. He's been injured a little bit, but he's as a rookie, I mean, you get drafted seventh and you're heading to the conference finals, most likely. It's awesome to watch.

[Shannon The Dude]

The Julius Randle turnaround has been amazing. And I still would say to you, when you're doing the most underrated UK players, if you go through my lifetime and I say who are the most underrated UK players? For me, Keith Bogan. Although Nick Roush said Keith Bogan should have his jersey retired. And I actually agree with him. If you look at his career, Keith Bogans to me is always number one on that list just because people forget about him. Brandon Knight is on that list as well. But I think Julius Randle's on the list. Because if you go look at the record books, if you ever get a chance, go to John Scott's UK basketball website and look at the single season records. Like how who had the most, first of all, most single season rebounds besides Oscar in a season ever. Most double doubles in a season ever. And we remember that season as the twin season because of Aaron Harrison. And there's two of them. But Julius Randle was the best player on that team. And so it's nice to see him getting his shine here in the playoffs.

[Ryan Lemon]

Julius Randle drug Kentucky to the championship game. Drug him, put him on his back, and when they needed a bucket, he got it for him during that whole run.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, and his. The double doubles, I mean, he played, I want to say 40 games or maybe 38 games at UK and had a double double and like 33 of them or 34. I mean, that's ridiculous. And that's what he did.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, and I'm glad he's had a good resurgence of pros. He and Carl were both kind of on teams where their fan bases were getting a little tired of them. They end up in the same trade.

[Shannon The Dude]

What if they play each other in the finals?

[Drew Franklin]

It's worked out for both sides. Both those guys have gotten back to a just superstar level, especially in these playoffs.

[Shannon The Dude]

You can see two guys, you're drew's exactly right. Their fan bases were both kind of put out with both of them. They get traded for each other and now they might play each other in the finals. Like that would be. That would be a really fascinating subplot.

[Ryan Lemon]

And I've been. You mentioned Shay, but he's. He's an MVP man. He didn't win it this year, but he's going to win an MVP award. He's the best player. Absolutely. He's going to.

[Shannon The Dude]

You said he didn't win it.

[Ryan Lemon]

I thought they're going to give it to Jokic again.

[Shannon The Dude]

No, they haven't picked it yet.

[Ryan Lemon]

Okay.

[Shannon The Dude]

It'll be. It'll probably be sga.

[Ryan Lemon]

He deserves it.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

The dude's unbelievable in that game where he was a plus 51 in game two or whatever it was. That is just insanity in the NBA.

[Shannon The Dude]

All right. I have, I have a movie, Shannon, to. I'm giving it a half hearted recommendation. But it is a recommendation. You know, I like going to the theater. I don't do it very much just cuz, you know, you don't think about it. I went and saw Sinners.

[Drew Franklin]

I know you're going to say that.

[Shannon The Dude]

So have you all seen it? So. So here's my. Here's my. You know, I. I hate vampires. Like vampires. To me it's. That's stupid. Why can't you just have a movie without vampires? Why do you have to have vampires everywhere? But with that said, if you're gonna have vampires, it's probably my favorite vampire thing. The First Two Thirds of Sinners is awesome. Absolutely awesome. The First Two Thirds of Sinners is one of my favorite movies I've seen in a long time. There's a scene where they're playing music. Has anybody. You've seen it? You know the scene where they're playing music and it like goes through history. You know what I mean? I think that's one of the best scenes I've seen in a movie ever. Now the last third becomes a little vampire. Y for me. That's why I'm not gonna say it's like the best movie I've seen in my life. But the first two thirds, it reminds me of From Dusk till Dawn. Shannon, I love the first half of that movie. Becomes vampires at the end. It's worth seeing though. Even though the last third is a little vampire for me. Have you seen it? No.

[Drew Franklin]

I can't remember my last trip to a movie theater. But I'm trying to make a point to go and see centers in theater because the reviews Are just so good.

[Shannon The Dude]

And the music is awesome. I mean, the music is like blues and then there's old, like Irish music in it as well. The vampires are Irish, and so they play, but they play beautiful Irish music. And they got. All the people from the movie, all the people that sing are actually singers and not actors. They were like. Rather than telling actors to try to learn to sing, we're going to have singers play the part, will teach them to act, and they're really, really good. And then the woman in there, what's her name? Haley Stanfield. Oh, beautiful. Like that dream.

[Drew Franklin]

Josh Allen could be listening.

[Shannon The Dude]

Oh, is that his wife?

[Drew Franklin]

They're engaged.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay, Josh. Respect. Just great movie. So again, little vampirey, but still I think a great movie.

[Drew Franklin]

Michael B. Jordan. Everything he's in is good.

[Shannon The Dude]

And he plays two characters. He like, he's. He's. He's their twins. And I don't. I don't know how they CGI'd it, but you. They. You. It does not look like cgi. And they're interacting with each other the whole movie.

[Ryan Lemon]

So I've heard a lot of good things about it. Josiah and some of his buddies went to see and said it was outstanding. So I'll. I'll see it on probably on Netflix.

[Shannon The Dude]

Well, that'll be a while.

[Ryan Lemon]

Probably, yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

You're not gonna go to theater?

[Ryan Lemon]

I did see, you know, it's a.

[Shannon The Dude]

Theater to see that Tom Brady old woman movie.

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, you made me 80s for Brady. Yeah, I did see Conclave, like the number one streaming show again.

[Drew Franklin]

Should be theater too.

[Shannon The Dude]

Conclave would. I'd give that a recommendation to everyone. This is one like. Like my parents wouldn't like sinners, but if you're young and you like that, I think you would like Mario. Have you seen it? You would love it. You need to go see it. Who's up next?

[Matt Jones]

Let's go to Nico.

[Shannon The Dude]

Nico, Although you do hate all that sort of metaphysical all that. You're scared of all those things. Maybe you shouldn't go. Go ahead. Nico. Hey, man. I actually called in a while back when you were gone. I talked to Ryan, so I had to hang up. But I. I said a question about Otega away in the draft. Do you. How many do you think. How high do you think he'd have to be up for him to. For him to stay in the draft? I think if Ortega was a first round pick, he would go. He would stay in the draft. I do not think that will happen. So I think he'll be back and I appreciate the call. He probably will make more money here than he would as a first round pick, at least in his first year. But I think if he was a first round pick he would stay. I don't see that happening because I don't think he's shown them Drew, that he can shoot well enough. And that's why he would have to come back and I think prove that to go play in the NBA.

[Drew Franklin]

Now that we know the draft order, every publication that covers basketball has a mock draft this morning. There's 10 of them and not one of them lists or take it away as a draft pick. Now Kobe Bray is on most of them, if not all of them. Even Yahoo has him up to 34th, fourth in the second round ahead of guys like Boogie Flynn and people that were one time lottery picks but always not really been mentioned.

[Shannon The Dude]

But I mean you can. But that goes to show you the modern NBA you can see you could put Kobe Braya on an NBA floor and put him there and if he's open he'll hit threes away. What he does is great for college but unless he's a knockdown three point shooter, you can't play a dude in the NBA who is not money if he's open from three. And that's why I don't think he would get picked.

[Ryan Lemon]

And that's why I think if he comes back, works on his shot, he could maybe play his way into being a first round guy next year.

[Shannon The Dude]

I don't know that he'll ever be a first round guy but there might be a world he could play because he is very athletic and maybe he could, but I just don't think it's going to happen this year.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, and at this point seeing, you know, not that he was bad at the combine, but the fact that no one's even mentioning him in the second round, I would be absolutely stunned if he's not back with what he could make at Kentucky next year.

[Shannon The Dude]

Well, the day the fact that yesterday we got an email that said Mark Pope's doing a press conference to me says Otega always going to end up back. I think if Mark Pope had to fill the Otaga away slot, which would mean go get a superstar, he would not be doing his press conference makes sense until he goes and gets that. Do you agree with that?

[Drew Franklin]

Fully agree. Not guaranteeing anything, but I just can't imagine he'd stay in the draft not even knowing that he'd get picked right now. Unless something really changes in the next few days at the combine.

[Shannon The Dude]

And got picked my UK basketball question last night because I do have one. We'll see if we can fool Corey Price yet again.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, the other night when I played there was not a UK question. I kept waiting for it but you had a couple other sports related questions.

[Shannon The Dude]

That's true. I didn't realize this. Shannon Haley Stanfield. Do you know who our uncle is? This is going to be a name from the past.

[Matt Jones]

No idea.

[Shannon The Dude]

Do you remember when we were kids in the morning on espn? Body by Jake? Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

That was her uncle.

[Ryan Lemon]

Really?

[Matt Jones]

Wow.

[Shannon The Dude]

You remember that? Yeah, like you would sit there and be waiting for Sports center to come on and he would sit there with his perm and be doing like calisthenics in the morning. That's kind of crazy that that was on espn, but it was for a while.

[Drew Franklin]

Did you ever get up and do the total Body workout?

[Shannon The Dude]

I just wanted him to go off the air so I could watch Sports center. But I. My parents would drop me off at my grandparents so they could go to work and I would sit there and watch Body by Jake until Shannon. There's a guy I hadn't thought of in a long time that's apparently Haley Stanfield's uncle.

[Matt Jones]

You said guess who. I mean, I would have never guessed that guy.

[Shannon The Dude]

How long do you think it would have taken you to guess body by J?

[Matt Jones]

10 years.

[Shannon The Dude]

10 years. Might have been a while. This woman right here says she bought an extra football ticket. So you are offsetting some of the 75 to 80 people who are not renewing that have showed up on the text.

[Drew Franklin]

We should get credit for that.

[Ryan Lemon]

Good seats available. If you ever wanted to buy season tickets, this might be the year to do it.

[Shannon The Dude]

5 and 7. The guy said your marks your. Does he survive 5 and 7?

[Ryan Lemon]

If as long as you're competitive in some of those losses like you can't get just run off the field and by Texas and some of these schools are going to play this year.

[Shannon The Dude]

What's the most important game of the year to you next year in football?

[Drew Franklin]

Toledo.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. You can't let Toledo.

[Shannon The Dude]

You think it's Toledo. We're to the point that it's Toledo.

[Drew Franklin]

Even if that's just reasonably close. I think people are going to be so mad.

[Ryan Lemon]

And in the years past season openers we've not really looked all that great, all that sharp. They win but they don't. You don't cover in a lot of situations.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, See, I think it's Ole Miss. I think Ole Miss is going to decide how fans look at the year. Even if we lose, we can't get blown out that Ole Miss.

[Ryan Lemon]

And you know Lane, Kevin gonna spend.

[Shannon The Dude]

All summer game plan in the Kentucky game because his first game is. Are they. Are they playing somebody bad in the first game?

[Ryan Lemon]

I don't know. But you know we beat him down there last year. That was kept them out of the playoffs.

[Shannon The Dude]

They're going to be all summer. He's going to be getting ready for that game.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yep.

[Drew Franklin]

Just want to remind you Toledo beat Mississippi State in Starkville by 24 last year.

[Shannon The Dude]

You really think there's A chance we.

[Drew Franklin]

Could lose the Toledo. Absolutely. Now, not a great chance, but that's why I'm saying it's important because you have to handle your.

[Shannon The Dude]

We see what the line is. I bet there's a line out on it, don't you think?

[Drew Franklin]

I'll check.

[Shannon The Dude]

See if you can find a line on that game. Who's up next? Shannon.

[Matt Jones]

Kim.

[Shannon The Dude]

Kim. Go ahead, Kim.

[Kim]

Hey, Matt. First time, long time.

[Shannon The Dude]

Who are.

[Kim]

I am the archery coach for Pulaski County High School.

[Ryan Lemon]

Nice.

[Shannon The Dude]

Good. We have all the coaches. So you guys have like an archery dynasty, right? We have a fishing dynasty and an archery dynasty.

[Kim]

Well, I don't know if we'd call us a dynasty or not. Matt or Ryan was giving us a little extra credit there yesterday. We good?

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay.

[Kim]

We're usually in the top 10 in the state.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay, well, that's good. But I will say good. In Pulaski county at archery, how do they learn?

[Kim]

Well, it was one of the counties that they actually founded the National Archery School program.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay.

[Kim]

Tommy. Tommy Floyd, who was at Somerset High School, was one of the first. He was, I think, the principal then or maybe assistant superintendent, and he. He was one of the first schools that started that. He's now the. The president of NASP nationally.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay, well, so you guys got it started?

[Kim]

Yeah, yeah. I did want to say for. For Shannon, one at one of the premier teams in the state every year is usually one of the bullet teams, probably Bullet East.

[Shannon The Dude]

Those other two bullets, Bullet Central, they have to shoot. Shoot those just to get up and down the street in Bullock County. So that's partially why they do it.

[Kim]

Yeah, this is true. This. This year's best team was probably Harrison County.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay. I heard that Harrison county was good, too.

[Kim]

They won both the middle school and the state championship this year and then finished. Usually the Kentucky state winner will finish in the top. In the top 10 nationally just about every year.

[Shannon The Dude]

Well, good. Well, congratulations on the success there. And I'm glad Ryan gave you all a shout out, sir.

[Kim]

Me too. Thank you.

[Shannon The Dude]

Appreciate the call.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah. I'd heard the legend of Joe Floyd, and I thought they were just a dynasty in high school archery in Kentucky.

[Shannon The Dude]

Did you hear, Shannon, about the new situation in Newark yesterday?

[Matt Jones]

No more.

[Shannon The Dude]

I know. I keep doing the Newark airport stories, but they keep coming up. What? Now, yesterday, only one person was operating the air tower for most of the day yesterday. 180 flights coming in and out every hour. And one person, because there were people. There's one person who called in, and they had one person doing apparently, by regulation they can do that, but it is not advised. So after all this, one person was up there.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yesterday.

[Drew Franklin]

Hope that person was dialed in. Hope they got a good night's sleep.

[Matt Jones]

How Many an hour?

[Shannon The Dude]

180 flights coming in and out. So.

[Matt Jones]

So, I mean, if it were just 60, it'd be one a minute, three minutes, three times.

[Shannon The Dude]

But I mean, it's not just one Runway. They have multiple run.

[Matt Jones]

Right. But you're having to coordinate all this.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah. And it's. I'm so. I mean, you basically have to make sure 180 flights land or take off in an hour.

[Matt Jones]

That is a lot of responsibility for that person.

[Shannon The Dude]

Every 20 seconds, do they get a.

[Drew Franklin]

Lunch break where they bottles? Like you can't take your attention off anything the whole day.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah. It's got to be. You got. I mean, poor that person.

[Ryan Lemon]

Somebody sent me an article yesterday, said it was ranking the most stressful jobs while on the job, and air traffic controller was number one.

[Shannon The Dude]

I can see that. You can't. I mean, you can make a mistake in any job, but that one. If you make a mistake as an.

[Matt Jones]

Air traffic or a pilot, people die.

[Shannon The Dude]

Like, people die. You can't. Like, you know, we make a mistake on here, Shannon can drop it.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Hit a dump.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah. I mean, the idea that you. It would be crazy. And the thing that gets me about it is that they. They're just like, well, we're gonna keep going. We'll get it fixed. Don't worry. But there's still flights coming in and out every day. You know, I mean, it's. It's wild.

[Drew Franklin]

Don't worry, Ted. He's up there. He's got us. He's going to get us through it.

[Shannon The Dude]

Just what do you say to me, like, when I see the transportation guy get up and he says, don't worry, we'll have it fixed by September. There's a part of me that says, though, if you need to have it fixed enough in September, why are we doing it now?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

Right.

[Ryan Lemon]

They still don't know why they've lost communication during that time. Right. That's still a mystery. What has happened.

[Shannon The Dude]

I just. I did see. There was. One of our listeners, was in the Newark Airport, Shannon. And he. He was like, I'm gonna keep flying into Newark because not as many people are flying in and out.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

And he took a picture at the baggage claim and he goes, well, at least there's one more person not scared. And it was Al Snow was standing there. So he and Al Snow were not scared. Of flying into Newark. We'll take a break. Be right back. TJ Smith, personal injury attorney. Call tj. He'll make him pay.

[Matt Jones]

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

[Shannon The Dude]

All right, I have two things I want people to look at at home. Don't. Don't drop what you're doing, like if you're driving a car, but maybe put this in your mind to. To go to first. This is Metallica Inner Sandman. If you get a chance Tonight, turn on YouTube. I'll turn on the YouTube and pull up Metallica Inner Sandman. Moscow. This was right after the Soviet Union fell. Okay. Right to the Soviet Union fell. The west, like, you know, the western world kind of gets to come into to Russia. The first band to play in Moscow in a big concert was Metallica. I want you to look up and go, look at that scene, Shannon. I've never seen anything like it. I'd never seen this video before.

[Matt Jones]

I'm looking at it right now.

[Shannon The Dude]

I mean, does that not look insane?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

I mean, there are. They estimate a million people. Were there a million. And they are going crazy. And there's all those Russian guards in the front, like, probably going, what is happening right now? Look at that.

[Ryan Lemon]

Holy.

[Shannon The Dude]

I've never seen anything like that in my life.

[Matt Jones]

An entire country showed up.

[Shannon The Dude]

It looks like all of Russia was like, well, we're free now. Let's listen to Metallica. Wow. That is one of the cr. I. I've never seen a concert scene like that, Shannon.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

And that. So when I saw that, I thought, that's amazing.

[Ryan Lemon]

That's awesome.

[Shannon The Dude]

Isn't it?

[Ryan Lemon]

That is really cool.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

I don't think there's ever been one bigger than that.

[Shannon The Dude]

I don't know that there's ever been one bigger than that. When you consider this, you know, what was going on. Etc, so. So that' second. On a much different note, Mario. You know, Mario does such a good job, Drew, but sometimes we have to teach him some things. So one of Mario's jobs is he. He does social media for KS Bar and Grill. And we said do something about the new catfish. So if you want, go to Instagram to the KS Bar account. All right. Go to Instagram to the ksbar account and click our story. He decides to take a video of us eating the catfish. I'm not sure he. Shannon could have taken a more ridiculous video that does less to sell the catfish than what he did. He has Ryan using his hand as a plate.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah.

[Shannon The Dude]

And with big wads. Of food in his cheek.

[Matt Jones]

I don't understand that, Ryan. Like, why not just pick it up and eat it? It's already in your head.

[Drew Franklin]

He uses a fork to take the food out of his hand.

[Shannon The Dude]

Fork. And he's eating out of his. He literally took the food, put it in his hand, and then used a fork to eat out of his hand. Which, by the way, is not what you should do in a restaurant, especially with these fine people sitting right next to you. But then Mario thought that was the good advertisement.

[Drew Franklin]

Fourth, my favorite Ryan clip in a long time. It's, like, already to your mouth. Just eat it out of your hand. Why are you using a fork?

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, first of all, that's disgusting in a restaurant to eat it with your hands. And somebody had just spilled half of the sandwich. So you want me to just lick it out of my hand?

[Shannon The Dude]

I didn't say anything about licking.

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, I got a piece falls. Instead of letting it fall on the floor, I got my hand there like you're supposed to.

[Shannon The Dude]

And then you use a fork out of your hand.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, you. Would you rather me just take a lick it or bite it out of my hand?

[Shannon The Dude]

Let me show you how a man eats fish. Okay.

[Ryan Lemon]

I saw it. You spilt it all over the table.

[Shannon The Dude]

You go like this. You put it in, and then you.

[Ryan Lemon]

Go, yeah, yeah, that was good. But you're using your fingers, and we're all sharing that food now. Nobody wants to eat that now. You just had your fingers on it. I was using a fork like you're supposed to. I didn't spill half my fish sandwich all over the table.

[Shannon The Dude]

I'm not bl. I was blaming Mario. Shannon, do you think that is something that makes people want to eat that food?

[Ryan Lemon]

No.

[Matt Jones]

I just took a perfect screenshot from that story and tweeted it out, too.

[Drew Franklin]

Also, the plate is just destroyed. There's just food everywhere.

[Matt Jones]

Look at that screenshot.

[Ryan Lemon]

I didn't destroy it. I used a fork.

[Shannon The Dude]

So we're going to have to work to work with Mario on how you make food look appetizing. But I'm going to leave that up there.

[Ryan Lemon]

But it's really, really good. The catfish is delicious.

[Shannon The Dude]

We'll see tonight in trivia how much catfish we sell. Mario, based on the. Based on the thing. Who's up next?

[Matt Jones]

Let's go to Perry.

[Shannon The Dude]

Perry. Go ahead, Perry.

[Perry]

Hey, long time listener, first time caller.

[Shannon The Dude]

Hey.

[Perry]

A couple things. What I like about the show is that I've been listening over a decade is y' all touch on every. A lot of Stuff that goes on in my life. Y' all talking about Archer while I go and shout out to my son Austin. He's the number one seventh grader in archery in the state.

[Shannon The Dude]

Well, good.

[Perry]

But us, our fellow. If Toledo is our toughest game on the scale or most pivotal game on the schedule, I think that says something about UK football at State right now.

[Shannon The Dude]

I. I don't disagree with you. I. I don't. I don't think Drew is wrong, but if Drew believes Toledo is the most important game, that's a bad sign. Yeah.

[Perry]

As far as Mark Stoop's job, I'd say it probably is most important game, because at that point, I think the fan base is probably gone.

[Shannon The Dude]

No, if he were to lose. Yeah, if he were to lose. You're exactly right.

[Perry]

Yeah, I know. I could talk about, like, our offensive game plan or the NBA draft or whatnot, but I know y' all get into, like, the wild and crazy gets more clicks for everything. And I was going through, like. I think it popped up on Twitter. These crazy people were just, like, hollering. I was like, what is that? And they have Bigfoot calling competitions. I looked up. I was like, what if they did it in Kentucky? That'd be hilarious to watch. And they actually do. It's in the Red River Gorge at the end of the month. I just wonder if y' all ever thought about doing, like, a remote or something like that and if y' all know what. To join in it.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, I didn't know. I don't know what that is. I appreciate the call. Have you ever heard of a. Of a Bigfoot calling competition at Red River Gorge?

[Ryan Lemon]

I've never heard of it, but I think the guy's onto something. We should do a remote there and enter the contest.

[Shannon The Dude]

It feels like that's crazy people, though. Like, there's a level of crazy I enjoy, and then there's people who are screaming for Bigfoot, and that's. That's probably one I would say.

[Drew Franklin]

Check it out.

[Shannon The Dude]

I don't know. I want to go back to his point about. About UK football for a second. If you, Drew, do believe that Toledo is the most important, I. I completely agree that if we were to lose, that's a disaster, and he'll. He'll probably not be the coach anymore. But isn't it a sad statement, though, that that's even on the table?

[Drew Franklin]

Yes. Now I think Kentucky will win, and there's not a line yet. I would guess It'll still be 1720 points. I mean, Kentucky should win. That. But I'm just saying it's important because if you don't, that will be absolute hell around Lexington next fall with hope.

[Shannon The Dude]

And that's.

[Drew Franklin]

And that's not a normal. Toledo is better than your usual week one, cupcake. You remember, I still think Kentucky will win, but it is not a guarantee.

[Shannon The Dude]

Originally in our schedule. If you remember, we were supposed to go to Eastern Michigan this year.

[Ryan Lemon]

Right.

[Shannon The Dude]

That week was supposed to be a road game. I just want you to imagine that for a minute. If we would have had to go to that. That's originally what it was supposed to be.

[Drew Franklin]

If those were even scheduled.

[Ryan Lemon]

They lose to Toledo. They absolutely have to be. Don't miss that next game or the season.

[Shannon The Dude]

No, no, let me be clear. If you lose to Toledo, it's over. I mean, it's over. You can't lose to Toledo. I know Mississippi State did, but guess. Guess what? They did change coaches. I mean, you, you can't lose to Toledo. No, because you're right. The schedule is too hard when it's over. Like it's too your home games. Texas could win the national championship. Tennessee, Ole Miss and Florida all go into the season thinking they can make the playoffs.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yep.

[Shannon The Dude]

Right.

[Drew Franklin]

South Carolina's reloaded on the team that whooped you last year.

[Shannon The Dude]

Those are your.

[Ryan Lemon]

Those are your four home games.

[Shannon The Dude]

Right. So you, you can't.

[Ryan Lemon]

You think, you think you're gonna win at Vandy? Well, guess what? Vandy beat you at home last year.

[Shannon The Dude]

Andy's beaten is two straight years and the games haven't been that close.

[Ryan Lemon]

No.

[Shannon The Dude]

So yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Can't be overlooking anyone next year.

[Shannon The Dude]

Shane, 1.6 million people were at that Metallica insanity.

[Matt Jones]

Can you imagine?

[Shannon The Dude]

Six million people. And like I was reading more. I was reading about it last night. A lot of those people did like that music wasn't even allowed there. So a lot of those people didn't even know. Like, imagine you had never heard Metallica and then you show up and that's what's happened.

[Matt Jones]

Well, imagine the. The lines for everything. You know you hate lines.

[Shannon The Dude]

Oh, yeah. Can you.

[Drew Franklin]

How early are you leaving?

[Shannon The Dude]

Oh, I'm. I'm out before they. Even when nothing else matters, I'm out right after that. Unbelievable. Let's do our picks here for DraftKings. You go to DraftKings sportsbook. It's now bet5,300 if you get the bet right. Okay. You got to get the bet right.

[Ryan Lemon]

Okay.

[Shannon The Dude]

So promo codes KSR. You go the Draft King sportsbook. Download it. DraftKings. The Crown is yours. Pacers and Cavaliers. Pacers can close it out tonight, but the Cavs are seven and a half point favorite. Who you got?

[Ryan Lemon]

Of course I'm riding the Pacers bandwagon. They're going to win. They're going to cover and win. Absolutely. Go Pacers.

[Shannon The Dude]

Cavs win tonight. I don't know if they cover but they win to take a game six in Indiana.

[Drew Franklin]

I think I've nailed our predictions in the playoffs. I'm going to jinx myself here and brag on myself, but I'm going to ride with Ryan and say Pacers cover. Cavs win.

[Shannon The Dude]

Thunder and the Nuggets. Todd. Two. Two. But the Thunder are a ten and a half point favorite at home. That's a huge number considering the series is tied at 2 2. What do you got?

[Drew Franklin]

Feels too high again. I think the home team wins but the road team covers. I'll take Denver getting the points.

[Shannon The Dude]

I kind of agree with you on that. What about you?

[Ryan Lemon]

I'm gonna go the same way because Denver kind of struggled last time out. They're going to kind of at least make have a good showing. So yeah, Thunder may win, but Denver covers.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, hopefully that we are see our Kentucky guys do well. One person writes LA Matt, last night, Monday night Raw was in the Yum Center. Did you see the UK flag in the middle? Yes. Shout out to whoever did that. You're probably listening to this show. If you're a UK fan that's also a wrestling fan that went to Raw last night and held that flag up, you are probably listening right now. Salute to you, sir or madam. The UK flag was right there in the center drew for everyone to see.

[Drew Franklin]

I saw that someone sent me a picture of it that was there. Also saw lots of pictures of UK fans who hadn't been to the center while taking pictures of that banner that says like AP top 10 or whatever, where they weren't allowed to take credit for anything else. So UK fans enjoyed taking over the Yum center last night.

[Shannon The Dude]

That was great. Very cool. They're going to have Is it Smackdown or Raw? One of them is going to be here in Lexington here soon. But they were in Louisville last night. Who's next? Shannon.

[Matt Jones]

Let's go to Syndicate.

[Shannon The Dude]

Done. Done. How are you done?

[Kim]

I'm doing awesome, fellas. How about yourselves?

[Shannon The Dude]

Doing okay? What's up?

[Kim]

So about the movie centers, right? I didn't realize at the end of the movie, do not leave.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah.

[Kim]

After all the credits. It's a whole other part.

[Shannon The Dude]

See, I haven't seen it yet. See, I heard that. I left.

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, you left.

[Shannon The Dude]

I left. I did too. I left too. I read that after I was finished. After the credits and sinners, there's a whole nother thing and I missed it because I didn't know it. I leave the moment the credits start and I. I missed it, unfortunately. So I. I may go see it again. I'd go see it again just for that movie scene. Because the. The music scene. That music scene is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time.

[Kim]

Now the other thing, I'm about to head to Destiny and was Ryan and him just invested. What is something cool to do while I'm there?

[Shannon The Dude]

Go for it.

[Ryan Lemon]

We were in Panama City. Yeah, but you've been to desert.

[Shannon The Dude]

That was a test.

[Ryan Lemon]

You can't go. The water and the beaches are so perfect at Destiny. You don't need to go anywhere. Just go to the beach, make you a Dagwood sandwich, take it down to the beach and eat the sandwich on the Beachwood.

[Shannon The Dude]

Sandwich. It's so gross. Do you take sandwiches to the beach?

[Ryan Lemon]

Oh, yes. Yeah. Put them in little plastic bags, Put our names on them. Take them to the beach.

[Shannon The Dude]

Names? Yeah. Is somebody gonna steal them?

[Ryan Lemon]

Well, I don't want somebody to eat my dag. We don't want Josiah eating my sandwich.

[Shannon The Dude]

Would you. Would you wrap here?

[Kim]

Would you rap here?

[Shannon The Dude]

Popping aluminum foil I appreciate the call, syndicate. Enjoy your trip. Destin has night. I always kind of thought as Destin is like children, like all snotty.

[Ryan Lemon]

Definitely a family area.

[Shannon The Dude]

Bacteria and everything.

[Ryan Lemon]

It's family, but the beaches are clean.

[Shannon The Dude]

The.

[Ryan Lemon]

The water's crystal clear. Clear blue water. It's awesome. Florida panhandle. Check it out.

[Drew Franklin]

I've been to Destin one time and said I'll never go back.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, I feel like you, when it comes to beaches, you. Have you, have you been to a really good beach?

[Matt Jones]

Because I feel what you call really good beach. I mean, I think Panama City beach is amazing, but, you know, it depends on your idea of a good beach.

[Shannon The Dude]

Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

For me, it was the crowds. Just to drive to dinner. I felt like. Took an hour each way and it was just. It didn't feel like vacation. I needed some. Some quiet and some peace. On vacation, it was just people everywhere.

[Shannon The Dude]

Do you think, like, Myrtle beach is a beautiful beach?

[Ryan Lemon]

Not really. I don't like the east coast beaches. You know, the water's kind of seaweedy and.

[Shannon The Dude]

Gulf of Mexico.

[Ryan Lemon]

Absolutely. Gulf of America.

[Shannon The Dude]

All right, stop. I'm going to go ahead and tell you I am not calling it the Gulf of America. What is wrong with you? Who's up next? That was to trigger me. I know you, Shannon. I know who you are.

[Matt Jones]

Go ahead, Jerry.

[Shannon The Dude]

Jerry. Go ahead, Jerry.

[Kim]

Hey, Matt, two points. First one is on the Newark thing with the single person. Controllers have very, very rigid work rules, which is part of the staffing problem. But they only work an hour on and an hour off. So it's maybe one position was staffed, but not this one single person stuck in that tower for eight or nine hours.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah. Even if it was. Second thing, one hour. Even if it's just for one hour, it's still scary, right?

[Kim]

But, but, but what's gonna. Well, no, because what's gonna happen. But it's a pain in the butts. What it is, because what's gonna happen is they're gonna slow all that traffic down, cancel flight.

[Shannon The Dude]

I'll be honest with you, Jerry. Why? That would scare me. Okay. Probably. It's my own life. Right. I mean, if I'm being honest, you know, I've had seizures. And like, imagine the one person in there were to have like a seizure, like, seriously. And there's nobody there to back. You know, the other thing I would.

[Kim]

Say is controllers, like pilots are subject to a lot of medical scrutiny for that very reason.

[Shannon The Dude]

Pilots have co pilots for that very reason. No.

[Kim]

Well, I guarantee you they weren't the Only person in the tower. They're maybe staffing because there's several positions in the tower. They might be where usually they would, like, say, have two or three guys working ground. And now they only got one guy to work ground or two or three guys working.

[Shannon The Dude]

All right, well, you know more about.

[Kim]

That's what I'm saying.

[Shannon The Dude]

All right, what's your other one?

[Kim]

And the other thing on the Toledo game, I agree the Kentucky should win that game, but it's been like 60, 40, and I'll be surprised they're favored by more than 10 because Toledo, everybody is talking about what a good football team they've got, and they're the consensus to be the best team in the Mac. I mean, that's gonna be a tough game.

[Shannon The Dude]

It'll be just saying, Drew, that our running back is there. Chip train him.

[Drew Franklin]

Chip Trainum's there. Donuts there. He didn't play a lot here, but he might get in and have some. Be a little inspired. And then also they returned their quarterback from the team that won in Starkville.

[Shannon The Dude]

Got me worried about this Toledo game.

[Drew Franklin]

I wasn't even that worried when I said it's important, but I'm starting to talk myself into getting scared.

[Shannon The Dude]

Why are you making me worried?

[Drew Franklin]

Just because the. The worst case scenario there just destroys the whole season. Do you think no one will care?

[Shannon The Dude]

You think the NBA cheated to get Cooper Flag on Dallas after all their fans revolted and said and said, we're done.

[Ryan Lemon]

The conspiracy theorists are out there in full force after that draft last night. What? Dallas had a 1.8% chance of getting the first pick, and they got it.

[Matt Jones]

What happened to them rolling out like the lotto balls do? We don't see. Because I need to see that, though.

[Shannon The Dude]

But I think it's because they say they do like a thousand balls now and it would be too much.

[Matt Jones]

So they condensed it down. I mean, you could get where the odds are the same.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, I don't. I. I don't know. I don't know. But I mean, they did. It's. It's Cooper. So after they traded Lou, the conspiracy is the NBA wanted Luca in. In la, and in order to have them do that, they give them Cooper flag. What's interesting to me, though, is he got criticized so much for that trade. Understandably so. But if I told you you could get Cooper flag and Anthony Davis for Luca, you might do it. You probably would do it, Drew. So maybe in the end, Dallas is going to end up winning that trade.

[Drew Franklin]

I think they will. But you can't give Nico credit. They have to fire him before the draft so he cannot get the satisf of the applause.

[Shannon The Dude]

Why can't I give him credit? If they weren't bad this year, they don't get in the lottery and they.

[Drew Franklin]

Don'T win Cooper flag but a 1.8% chance.

[Shannon The Dude]

Now I'm on team. It's rare.

[Drew Franklin]

I think there's another layer too where they moved to Vegas and LeBron's an owner. It was all one big conspiracy, one big organized ring here for LeBron to own the Vegas team and have the young star in the league.

[Shannon The Dude]

But in the end, if I told you you can have either Luca for the next seven years or Anthony Davis and Cooper Flag, wouldn't you take Anthony Davis and Cooper Flag?

[Ryan Lemon]

You definitely took it and out of shape. Luca or the Flag and Davis, I'm taking them.

[Drew Franklin]

I think you're gonna take it too. I'm just saying you can't give Nico credit.

[Shannon The Dude]

Yeah, I mean, Luca in five years is gonna have the body of like a 90 year old man if he keeps eating and smoking like he is. I mean, I think you'd rather have. I think you'd rather have.

[Drew Franklin]

Another layer to the conspiracy is that Lucas stock is way down and they can resign him at a much cheaper price and have Cooper flag, Luca and AD oh yeah, but they need to.

[Shannon The Dude]

Like the Lakers have got to have a marquee play. And so. Well, I don't know. I will say Cooper Flag going to Dallas, like of all the most ridiculous outcomes, that's the one.

[Drew Franklin]

Because he even he was shocked.

[Shannon The Dude]

He gets rewarded. But. But it's. They don't make that franchise to where.

[Drew Franklin]

People still don't forget kyrie Davis with two Dookies.

[Shannon The Dude]

That's right. And then we have P.J. washington there. That's right as well. Thank you folks very much. Thank all of you that came. Thanks to our guys here from Augusta as well. See you at trivia tonight at 7. And Ryan, that's a great picture of you with that fish. This has been Kentucky sports radio.

[Unknown Speaker 1]

Hey, friend. I know how this feels. Waking up exhausted after multiple trips to the bathroom and feeling embarrassed by sudden leaks. I used to be constantly on edge, searching for a restroom whenever I was out. Then I discovered Better Woman. I was skeptical at first, but two months in, everything changed. I experienced improved bladder control. No more heart stopping moments when I laugh or sneeze. Less urge to go deeper and more restful sleep. I finally felt like myself again. Confident and in control. Better woman is natural, effective clinically tested and trusted by Women for over 25 years. Ready to take back your control?
