Matt Jones
Our number two Kentucky sports radio 859-280-2287 text machine 772-774-5254 a couple open lines. Let's start. I want to get to UK basketball, but I do have to acknowledge, Ryan, that this might have been the most stressful one weekend of Reds fandom of my short Reds fandom life. Friday night reds go up 8 to 1. You're like oh this is awesome. By the third, by the end into the third inning, it's 8 to 8. They end up losing 10 to 8 on Apple TV which for some reason that just annoys me in and of itself. I got, I mean air. I play 8 to 1. You got to win. You don't. Then Saturday they were up two, up two to one. They bring in our closer. He walks the first two guys. They still almost get out of it all. Ellie has to do he tries to turn a double play. They're slow getting there. All he's got to do is eat it. He throws it, throws it past the first baseman, score two to two. We end up losing an extra innings because we stink in extra innings. And then on the third time, finally we're up one, nothing. They hit a two run homer in the ninth to go up two to one. I think it's over. And then we come back, they actually make an error. We end up winning an extra inning. So we got one of three, which is really all I wanted, but it was too stressful. I didn't enjoy it and it made me mad.
- [02:55]
Ryan Lemon
You know, we had an event at Cast Bar Friday night and you walked in. A little pep in your step because the reds were up 8 to 1.
- [03:00]
Matt Jones
When you did say, they're going to blow this. Even when it was 8 to 1.
- [03:04]
Ryan Lemon
And just like in 30 seconds, like, it was quick. I look up there and it's already 8 to 8.
- [03:08]
Drew Franklin
How does that even happen? I was watching that game, too.
- [03:10]
Matt Jones
Well, first of all, again, like you. Yeah. I haven't watched baseball since I was a little kid. So, like, I forget about the nerdy intricacies of the game, but, like, little things end up hitting. So when it was eight to one, they hit a ground ball to Ellie. He had a double play and he tried to flip it with his glove. Probably something you do because it's eight to one and he misses the double play. And then they score five straight runs after that. If they get that double play, they move on. Who knows? It's just little things like that annoy me. And we have, you know, we had one guy make an error so bad, they just. He left the team. Jake Fraley?
- [03:47]
Drew Franklin
They sent him to Louisville.
- [03:48]
Matt Jones
No, he's not even on the roster anymore. When the game was over, they were like, jake Fraley and the team have creative differences. Like he's working on a movie.
- [03:59]
Drew Franklin
I think he's in a band or something. You see band members creative, like they're breaking up. They got creative.
- [04:03]
Matt Jones
I didn't really. He wasn't my favorite anyway. But point being, they're still in it.
- [04:09]
Shannon Dawson
Didn't get swept?
- [04:10]
Matt Jones
No, they didn't get swept. They're only a game and a half back now. They've got this long west coast trip, which means I can watch as I fall asleep at night and go to the.
- [04:18]
Drew Franklin
I saw you bickering on Twitter back and forth about your fandom and whether or not you are allowed to complain.
- [04:23]
Matt Jones
This dude was like, you've only been a fan for two weeks. You don't get to complain. First of all, I've been a fan since like 2018. I've yet to see them win, so I feel like I get to complain. It's not like I was a bandwagon. They've stunk ever since I've been.
- [04:39]
Drew Franklin
You buy season tickets every year, too, so.
- [04:41]
Matt Jones
Season tickets.
- [04:42]
Drew Franklin
You have a right to bicker.
- [04:43]
Matt Jones
Every year I go to, like, two road trips. I feel like I should get to bicker.
- [04:48]
Shannon Dawson
Season tickets automatic gets you the opportunity to bicker as much as you want, especially where you sit for a baseball team like that. On the way to the bar. I live like 20 minutes from the bar, and I was listening on the local ESPN broadcast, the radio broadcast, and that entire 8 to 1 lead was gone in the 20 minutes. But when I got to the bar, I was afraid to walk in because I knew you and all your buddies were in there. I was like, well, do I sit in the car and hear it out or do I go in and see their misery? But that was quite the collapse.
- [05:18]
Matt Jones
It was very. It was very annoying. And I spent all this time trying to figure out how do I pull up Apple TV on the bar? And that's not an easy thing to do because we have a new electronic system and then we finally do it. And in the time between when we tried to turn it on and got there, it was eight to eight.
- [05:35]
Drew Franklin
You missed all the stuff you didn't want to see.
- [05:37]
Ryan Lemon
To be fair, maybe summer of Ellie will be next year.
- [05:40]
Shannon Dawson
Non straight road games.
- [05:41]
Matt Jones
It's not over yet, though.
- [05:42]
Shannon Dawson
Non straight road games. Perfect opportunity.
- [05:44]
Matt Jones
Shut up. All right, Dodgers. They're not any good.
- [05:46]
Ryan Lemon
No.
- [05:48]
Matt Jones
Are you done?
- [05:49]
Shannon Dawson
Who else is Anaheim?
- [05:51]
Drew Franklin
You just need it to be the fall of la. You need to get to fall postseason baseball.
- [05:55]
Matt Jones
I like Ellie.
- [05:56]
Shannon Dawson
Arizona.
- [05:56]
Matt Jones
Ellie's got to stop making errors. Okay, so the. The Kentucky basketball. Yellow Vich has landed. The. I got to stop saying which country. Croatia. The Croatian sensation. Yellow Vich has. Has landed. He and Pope went to the Carlos Alcaraz Cincinnati tennis match as his first thing in town. He posted on Instagram that he was moving into his dorm. So he is here. Drew, I would ask you. It's nice to have him here. What. How much is he going to play? Like, is he. Is he a guy? Is he going to give Z, like, minutes, which was not a ton in the end, or is he going to be a bigger contributor? What do you think he's going to be?
- [06:40]
Shannon Dawson
He's easily the Biggest mystery on the team. I mean, the widest range of what he could be. I mean, if he shows up and he's like Big Z and he's not quite ready for the SEC, it won't shock me if he's 12th on the bench or if he shows up and he take somebody's spot and he's playing 25 minutes a game of the four, that won't surprise me either. I mean, he played about 30 minutes for a pro team in Serbia averaging near a double double. So it's, you know, he's got quality basketball experience, but we kind of expected Big Z to be a little bit more. I think maybe that's living in the back of my brain that maybe when he shows up, he still won't have much, but it's a wide range. It won't shock me if he comes here and he's awesome the way he played. So much for that Mega Betamax, whatever.
- [07:18]
Matt Jones
You call A lot of European guys when they get here, especially that play in the college game, it's so different from the way they play over there. Just like it's much more, it's, it's much more clogged. Our three point line is closer, so it makes it to where big guys. My view is if you're going to bring a guy like that here, you got to let him play on the perimeter because if he tries to go inside, he's just going to get beat around. That's kind of my view when it comes to college. I, I think Pope will let him do that. So I think he's got a chance. I'm, I'm. You. I'm considering him a bonus. Ryan, whatever happens with him is awesome, but I'm not considering him someone we rely on.
- [07:59]
Ryan Lemon
Yeah, because at that spot, the fourth, I mean, that's where there are some minutes available. So maybe he can take advantage of that. Get, get you 20, 25 minutes a.
- [08:06]
Matt Jones
Game and he's not doing. Are you expecting 25 minutes a game?
- [08:10]
Ryan Lemon
I don't know how, I don't know how good he is. Really?
- [08:11]
Drew Franklin
That's a lot. I mean that's, that's almost starter minutes.
- [08:14]
Matt Jones
I mean, how many guys did we even have last year that played 25 minutes? I mean, I, but he's the starting four by March.
- [08:20]
Shannon Dawson
That would not surprise me one bit.
- [08:23]
Matt Jones
You think so real.
- [08:24]
Shannon Dawson
Just like if he's the 12th man, that wouldn't surprise me. I think he's got a wide range of what he could be. It's not fair to do the Big Z comparisons just because he's from Croatia. But if you are doing that, it does help that he's here now and not showing up in October. He did miss about eight weeks of summer workouts. A little bit behind with the team, but he's here in time for the semester and when spring or when fall practice starts in September.
- [08:44]
Matt Jones
I do think that's a big difference. I do think that's a big difference. Shannon is he's going to be here and working out with the team. You got to remember Big Z came in December, you know, and then. And this is. He's going to be. Have been playing for a while.
- [08:55]
Drew Franklin
I know he's still a little bit behind, but like you said, he is a pro player. So it's just be about learning Pope's offense and learning his teammates, you know, getting to know them. And I think that's something that can be caught up on quickly. So I'm not too worried about it. I think he'll get, I don't know, I would say around maybe 12 to 15 minutes a game. I don't think he's going to get 25, but just a guess. I don't know.
- [09:15]
Matt Jones
I have, I. I honestly have no idea. I am excited though that he's there because I think it gives him another piece of depth. I mean depth, depth of the big man position. I, I think at times it could have was an issue last year and I think it could have been an issue this year. This gives you a lot of options and you can match up with people based on. On what you have.
- [09:35]
Shannon Dawson
And he, he hadn't played college ball. Be new to that. But he's 21 years old and has played a lot of basketball.
- [09:40]
Matt Jones
That's true.
- [09:41]
Shannon Dawson
He is experienced.
- [09:42]
Matt Jones
Yeah. The Little League World Series is in what seems like week seven of it going on. I feel like Little League, I feel. I don't know how this series, it never seems to end. There are some accusations out there that some of the other teams have guys that could be a lot older. There's a pitcher. Is it Japan? There's a pitcher who throws it like 78 or something. Which would equate to like 105. Yeah.
- [10:09]
Drew Franklin
Which is like what, 40? What's their mound to? I don't know, like 45ft maybe.
- [10:14]
Matt Jones
But I saw the article was like if he was a major league pitcher at the major league thing and did that, it would be like 105 mile an hour fastball coming at these kids.
- [10:23]
Drew Franklin
Like a Chapman. Yeah, fastball. That's crazy. I feel like there's this controversy almost every year, like, where somebody doesn't have a birth certificate or whatever it may be. But that's crazy that they're throwing that hard at that age.
- [10:36]
Matt Jones
You enjoy the Little League World Series even though you are banned.
- [10:39]
Ryan Lemon
I love it. You know, they were talking about this picture. You remember the story. Danny Almonte, I think was his name, when they proved he was 14 years old, when they finally figured out how old he was.
- [10:49]
Matt Jones
So I don't know if you know this, but I mentioned you on ESPN yesterday as being banned from the Little League World Series.
- [10:54]
Ryan Lemon
Oh.
- [10:56]
Matt Jones
So we had a.
- [10:57]
Ryan Lemon
Homeland Security called me yesterday.
- [10:58]
Matt Jones
We were on. We had eduardo Perez, who's ESPN's announcer. He was doing the Little League. He's doing the Little League World Series. And I said, hey, can you do it? I've grown to like him. We have him on almost every week. And I was like, can you help my friend Ryan Lemon get unbanned from the Little League World Series? And he said he was going to. He was going to look into it for you.
- [11:18]
Ryan Lemon
So, Dude, I think the band was coming to your credit. You saved me.
- [11:22]
Matt Jones
You kind of got your band.
- [11:23]
Drew Franklin
I thought we were going to prison.
- [11:25]
Matt Jones
They specifically, the Department of Homeland Security specifically said, do not let your friend show up at the. And I. You know, I was worried about it then. I. Now I'm even, even more worried about it with her. I think you. I think you should stay away.
- [11:41]
Ryan Lemon
You went to bat for me. You went to bat for me that day, but every time I turn it on, I think about that. Hey, I got to run the bases in that stadium right there. Yeah, I did that.
- [11:49]
Drew Franklin
You didn't get to do it. You just did it.
- [11:50]
Ryan Lemon
I just did it.
- [11:51]
Drew Franklin
They didn't say, you're welcome.
- [11:52]
Ryan Lemon
Supposed to be right behind me.
- [11:53]
Matt Jones
I turned around, by the way.
- [11:54]
Ryan Lemon
Nowhere to be found.
- [11:55]
Matt Jones
I just. I do want to take a second, though, and think about what happened right there, because that is kind of crazy. Ryan Lemon. Not me. Ryan Lemon jumped the fence and ran the bases at the Little League World Series. And then the next day, I. Who didn't run the Little League World Series and who have no blood relation to Ryan. I'm not his emergency contact. The Department of Homeland Security called me.
- [12:24]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, but you're guilty by association.
- [12:26]
Ryan Lemon
Yep.
- [12:26]
Matt Jones
No, they called me and said, we hear your friend did this. And I wanted to be like, why don't you call my friend?
- [12:35]
Drew Franklin
It doesn't have your number.
- [12:37]
Matt Jones
Well, that's part of what's scary. Why do they have my number? How did they get your number and they don't have Ryan. L. Stupid Android number.
- [12:45]
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
- [12:46]
Shannon Dawson
Not his emergency contact. I could definitely see Ryan put you down as his emergency contact.
- [12:51]
Matt Jones
And then they were like, okay, we need to know. Blah, blah, blah. And I said. And look, when it popped up, it said. It didn't say department Homeless, but it said u. S. Government. And it had the. I even googled to make sure the number, like, so I wasn't getting pranked. And it was. It was the number.
- [13:07]
Ryan Lemon
You were so funny when you're talking to you like, you really want to take away the moment this balding, old.
- [13:12]
Matt Jones
Fat man say that to him. You want to take.
- [13:15]
Ryan Lemon
He was just trying to run the basis. You want to take this from this balding old fat man.
- [13:19]
Matt Jones
I don't know why I had to throw in what he looked like.
- [13:21]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, yeah. Trying to get sympathy, maybe.
- [13:23]
Matt Jones
But I did say. I was like, this is his dream. Do you want his dream to be. We have to, because they wanted us to go to the police station.
- [13:30]
Drew Franklin
Dude, it was serious. We joke about it, but it was serious for about 10 minutes.
- [13:34]
Matt Jones
Talking to me like I were your law. Was your lawyer asking if he would turn himself in for. For arrest.
- [13:40]
Ryan Lemon
Thank you. Thank you, Uncle Matt. You saved me that day.
- [13:42]
Matt Jones
Because we. If you remember, we were in college. We were at Penn State.
- [13:45]
Ryan Lemon
Correct.
- [13:45]
Drew Franklin
This Airbnb.
- [13:46]
Matt Jones
To drive back to Williamsport, turn him over like Luigi after he murdered the insurance guy.
- [13:53]
Drew Franklin
What were they going to do with him?
- [13:54]
Ryan Lemon
And keep in mind, that was the same day you painted my bald spot black.
- [13:58]
Matt Jones
Oh, yeah. Walked in there. When they.
- [14:01]
Drew Franklin
When they put the cuffs on you, they would see that spray paint on your bald spot.
- [14:05]
Matt Jones
They would have thought you. He was trying to run Drew. He was, like, trying to make himself look different.
- [14:09]
Ryan Lemon
Disguise myself.
- [14:11]
Shannon Dawson
They say it's the best day in Ryan living history. I think it is.
- [14:14]
Matt Jones
That was a top. That was a top day. 859-280-2287. Who's next?
- [14:20]
Ryan Lemon
Gork is up next.
- [14:21]
Matt Jones
Gork. Go ahead. Gork.
- [14:25]
Caller
Yes. Matthew Jones. We've got Wolf, Schlager, Farmer. We got Jagger. We got Bronze.
- [14:34]
Matt Jones
But you could have. You could have looked all this up, man. Like, there's an Internet. I mean, you also would know the capital of Armenia. That doesn't mean you actually know it. It's. You can just look on the Internet.
- [14:46]
Caller
Well, that's true. That. That's true. I could click on the Internet, but I also can tell you where they transferred from and. And how big they are. What? What?
- [14:56]
Drew Franklin
Maybe you should start a podcast.
- [15:00]
Matt Jones
All that is also available on the Internet.
- [15:02]
Caller
I agree, but I also.
- [15:05]
Matt Jones
You.
- [15:06]
Caller
You said no one is calling in and giving you the starter, so I'm just gave you the starting O line.
- [15:12]
Matt Jones
You know, I mean, I understand you. I could have looked it up too. Did you. Did you honestly know the starting offensive line before you just looked it up?
- [15:22]
Caller
Yes, absolutely.
- [15:25]
Matt Jones
Who are you related to?
- [15:26]
Caller
No, I am related to no one. I am just a huge fan and former offensive lineman myself.
- [15:37]
Matt Jones
There you go. Okay, I understand. Well, speaking of a former offensive lineman, I appreciate the call. Luke Fortner was traded last night from Jacksonville to New Orleans. He got beat out for the center job in Jacksonville and so he's going to New Orleans where he will be on the offensive line with Landon Young. So two Kentucky guys going to be with the Saints, which might be the worst team in football, but nevertheless, still.
- [15:59]
Ryan Lemon
Excited to the big blue wall that kind of said, you know, made a name for themselves now both battling for starting jobs. Be on the same line of the Saints.
- [16:06]
Shannon Dawson
I think that's pretty cool protecting a Louisville quarterback. I'm glad that they're right. Yeah, I'm glad they're pairing up, but my first thought was, what the hell, Liam Cohen. I thought Fortner was going to have be safe when Cohen got there.
- [16:16]
Matt Jones
So that's a really interesting. If you're Luke Fortner, your offensive coordinator traded you.
- [16:22]
Shannon Dawson
I thought when Cohen got that job that would have been great news for him.
- [16:26]
Matt Jones
But it sends him so a bad sign when you're like, by the way, I love Luke Fortner. Some people don't know this. I think I've said this on the air. Have I talked about the UK wineman? I guess not by those faces. Well, so when Max would hang out with the UK lineman during that big blue wall time and they. One time I walked in their house and they were all drinking wine and I was like, this doesn't give me a lot of confidence for the future that our offensive line is all drinking wine. And one of them, I won't say which one said, no, it's the UK wineman. I was like, oh, that still doesn't help.
- [17:11]
Drew Franklin
You need it to be bourbon or like Bush Light or something about your hot wine.
- [17:15]
Matt Jones
There's just something about your whole offensive line sipping a cabernet that did not make me think. But they were good. Yeah. And Luke Fort, Luke Fortner was.
- [17:23]
Drew Franklin
Rick would have loved him.
- [17:24]
Matt Jones
Yeah, that's right. Just in time for Labor Day. There are more places for you to pick up bottles of Red State Barbecue, the Kentucky proud section of liquor barn Kroger Publix in Lexington and Louisville and now Myers across the state, Critchfield on Southland and the Kentucky Horse park jungle gym in Cincinnati and Fairfield.

- [18:15]
Ryan Lemon
Whoa.
- [18:16]
Matt Jones
Which means he was. Yeah. Give me a round of applause there. He's.
- [18:19]
Shannon Dawson
Congratulations.
- [18:20]
Ryan Lemon
You made a big number.
- [18:22]
Matt Jones
He was born in 1966.
- [18:24]
Ryan Lemon
Yes.
- [18:25]
Matt Jones
So I thought it would be interesting to look back at how old he is by looking back at what happened in 1966.
- [18:31]
Ryan Lemon
All right, this will be fun.
- [18:32]
Matt Jones
All right, so first of all, just to give you a sense of how old he is, the president was Lyndon Baines Johnson.
- [18:38]
Ryan Lemon
How about that?
- [18:38]
Matt Jones
You remember the old Batman, the cheesy one?
- [18:41]
Ryan Lemon
Yeah.
- [18:42]
Matt Jones
It debuted that year.
- [18:44]
Ryan Lemon
Good tv, good show right there.
- [18:45]
Matt Jones
You remember the old Star Trek?
- [18:48]
Ryan Lemon
Yeah.
- [18:48]
Matt Jones
It also debuted that year.
- [18:51]
Ryan Lemon
Great stuff.
- [18:52]
Matt Jones
You know how people talk about Miranda rights, where you have to. You have a right to remain silent, blah, blah, blah. In 1966.
- [19:01]
Ryan Lemon
Right.
- [19:01]
Matt Jones
When he was born. They didn't even exist at that point. Drew, you didn't even have a right to remain silent.
- [19:10]
Shannon Dawson
You changed laws.
- [19:11]
Matt Jones
Brian was so old that they actually gave him a right to remain silent.
- [19:15]
Shannon Dawson
That he doesn't use.
- [19:18]
Matt Jones
That's exactly right. Bush stadium opened in St. Louis.
- [19:22]
Ryan Lemon
Wow. I went there a lot when I was a kid. Not. Not when I was the baby.
- [19:27]
Matt Jones
The United States vastly increased for the first time their military presence in Vietnam.
- [19:33]
Ryan Lemon
Wow.
- [19:34]
Matt Jones
So you brought Busch Stadium and Vietnam War to America.
- [19:37]
Ryan Lemon
Sounds like a great year. We're talking about 1960.
- [19:40]
Matt Jones
So those are just a few of the things. Do you know who won the national championship in basketball in 1966?
- [19:49]
Ryan Lemon
Texas. Beat the. Beat the Kentucky team. Texas. San Antonio.
- [19:57]
Matt Jones
Keep going.
- [19:58]
Ryan Lemon
Texas Western.
- [19:59]
Matt Jones
There you go. Texas Western.
- [20:01]
Ryan Lemon
That's what they were called back then.
- [20:03]
Matt Jones
Do you know what movie won best movie at the Oscars?
- [20:09]
Ryan Lemon
Like Bunny and Clyde? I don't know.
- [20:12]
Matt Jones
The Sound of Music.
- [20:14]
Ryan Lemon
Jeez. Wow. Thought that came out, like, in the 40s.
- [20:19]
Matt Jones
So you are the same age, Ryan Lemon, as the Sound of Music.
- [20:23]
Ryan Lemon
Well, you know, all the superstars are born in 66. Darius Rucker, Janet Jackson, Halle Berry. Did not go on.
- [20:31]
Matt Jones
Are you just making that up?
- [20:32]
Ryan Lemon
No, we're all. All beautiful people were born in 1966.
- [20:36]
Matt Jones
I'm sure that's exactly right. Who's next? Tim is up next. Tim. Go ahead, Tim. Anytime, Tim. Yes, go ahead.
- [20:51]
Caller
Yeah, I was calling. I was gonna get your guys input on this. What is Kentucky's football's first game going to have to look like to make the fans that are kind of on.
- [21:05]
Matt Jones
The board about this in the first hour?
- [21:08]
Caller
Yeah, yeah, I might. I might missed out on some of it. What's it going to take to get the fans to be like, oh, wow, we really want to watch this thing? What's that first game going to happen?
- [21:18]
Matt Jones
I might have to tell you, and I love you because I don't want to redo the conversation. I appreciate the call. Just go back on podcast and listen to the first hour. For me, it's just, you got to win. But we discussed that in pretty in depth in hour one, so you can. You can hear that conversation. Then. Who's up next?
- [21:34]
Ryan Lemon
Fuzzy is up next.
- [21:36]
Matt Jones
Fuzzy. Go ahead, Fuzzy.
- [21:38]
Caller
Hey, I got a question for you and a quick statement if I can question. Me and my sister on our way to Boston, Massachusetts, to go to a concert. Was curious if you guys had any recommendations on some good food up there.
- [21:50]
Matt Jones
Well, what do you think about Boston? You've been.
- [21:52]
Ryan Lemon
I was there for like an hour.
- [21:54]
Matt Jones
Oh, that's.
- [21:55]
Drew Franklin
That's right.
- [21:55]
Shannon Dawson
Your house.
- [21:56]
Drew Franklin
That's right.
- [21:56]
Matt Jones
That's when your house burned down. So you just got to Boston? Had to turn right around and fly right back.
- [22:01]
Ryan Lemon
I saw nothing but the. The soup, the concession line, and the box. We were at Fenway Park.
- [22:08]
Drew Franklin
I would like to know what concert he's going to.
- [22:11]
Caller
I'm going to the Joe Perry Project.
- [22:13]
Matt Jones
Oh, that's cool.
- [22:14]
Drew Franklin
Yeah. From Aerosmith.
- [22:15]
Matt Jones
Yeah.
- [22:16]
Drew Franklin
I'd like.
- [22:16]
Matt Jones
I would say to you, if you're in Boston, eat seafood. Obviously, people will tell you clam chowder, but just in general, seafood's fresh there. They get all the stuff from Maine and the lobster and all that. So I would say if you're gonna go to Boston, you want to eat something local, do seafood.
- [22:33]
Caller
Awesome. Crab cakes. It is.
- [22:35]
Matt Jones
Yeah. I appreciate. They're good, too. Yep.
- [22:38]
Caller
Well, my statement, actually is for Ryan. I was gonna say you're not a short, fat, bald white guy. You're built just like me. We are now built like Triple H. Happy birthday, Ryan.
- [22:49]
Matt Jones
Yeah, I thought that was mean. By the way, I appreciate the call. For people who didn't see. They caught the wrestler Triple H. He was on a boat with his family, and they caught him with his shirt off. And everybody's been making fun of him for being fat. Shannon, I didn't think that was very nice. First of all, he's. He's 60 years old. I thought for 60, he actually looked good. But secondly, you know, give him a break. What do they want him to look at?
- [23:12]
Drew Franklin
He had some medical issue, too, with his heart. I don't know if he had a heart attack or had a stent put in, whatever it is, but he's been going through some medical issues, too, so.
- [23:19]
Matt Jones
I didn't even think he looked that bad.
- [23:20]
Drew Franklin
I mean, most people his age don't even look close to it being as good as looking.
- [23:25]
Matt Jones
It's like when everybody criticizes Patrick Mahomes for having, like. He's got a better body than most people, Drew. Right.
- [23:31]
Shannon Dawson
I would trade bodies of Triple H right now.
- [23:35]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, I mean, he doesn't look like he's 25 and on steroids anymore, but still not that bad.
- [23:40]
Ryan Lemon
It's not a dad bod. No, it's a father.
- [23:42]
Matt Jones
And he was also. He was sitting down. He was sitting down. And so his tummy, you know, if you sit there with your leg. His tummy. His tummy's all. He's on vacation.
- [23:51]
Shannon Dawson
He's probably stuck.
- [23:52]
Matt Jones
It's like I say to Mario, angles are key.
- [23:54]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, that's right.
- [23:56]
Matt Jones
You got to make sure you get the right angle. So we'll take a break. Very Bags Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back, Techie Sports Radio. Here live, KSR golf scramble presented by Stockton Mortgage and Cornbread Hemp at Glen Oaks Country Club, where we'll be teeing off here in the sun in just a little while. Great crowd. Always excited to be out here and having a good time. Thanks to everybody. Thanks to Beer Nose for bringing us pizza. We added some. I love Beer Nose. Thank you. Boomer Express is the driving range sponsor. What is Boomer Express? Do we know?
- [24:31]
Drew Franklin
No. I need to look that up, though. I feel like we should know.
- [24:33]
Matt Jones
Yes, we should. And then the cocktail drinks on the rocks. And minus 196, which Drew will have about 10 of them.
- [24:40]
Shannon Dawson
Very good. Very good. Beer knows. Owner raised a good question that we have. Star considering with the Louisville Kentucky game, they've moved it you know, that's been a tradition for so long. In December, he's kind of like, I don't know what to do now. That basketball game is.
- [24:53]
Matt Jones
Yeah, I think we're doing it. Yeah, I don't. I think we're doing it before that. Basketball, I think. I don't know. But yeah, that was what. That's our oldest remote is the one at first one. Is it the one at Beer Knows in Southern Indiana. All right, Shannon, a couple media pieces of news. Rich eisen will host SportsCenter tonight for the first time in 20 years. He's coming back to ESPN.
- [25:16]
Drew Franklin
Nice.
- [25:16]
Matt Jones
He's doing ESPN radio from 12 to three every day, which I'm excited about, because anything that helps ESPN Radio since I'm on there, I'm happy about. But he will be hosting from 12 to three every day starting in September. But tonight he will host Sports Center. That's kind of cool. Did you like Rich Eyes?
- [25:33]
Drew Franklin
The older I get, the more nostalgic I get.
- [25:36]
Matt Jones
Me, too.
- [25:36]
Drew Franklin
So I kind of like when they bring back somebody from the past. I will be watching just for that very reason.
- [25:41]
Matt Jones
I'm big Rich Eisen fan. Yeah, I'm really. I, I've always liked him, and I think he did a great job. I think he'll be good on radio, that it'd be cool to see him on Sports Center.
- [25:50]
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, me too. Honestly, when the NFL and ESPN had their merge, one of my first thoughts was, Rich Eisen can do ESPN stuff again because that's the ESPN I grew up on. Other than you and Myron, it's been downhill pretty bad lately. And I'm glad they're bringing him back.
- [26:05]
Drew Franklin
I feel like they get Craig Kilborn back maybe, you know, like, what's he doing these days?
- [26:09]
Matt Jones
He's got a ton of money now.
- [26:10]
Drew Franklin
But I, I, you know, those were the good days.
- [26:12]
Matt Jones
Yeah.
- [26:13]
Drew Franklin
In the 90s with us.
- [26:13]
Matt Jones
I mean, when you had, when you, I mean, if you go through the list of Keith Olbermann. Yeah. Dan Patrick, Rich Eisen, Craig Kilborn, Kenny Maine. Kenny. Kenny. Man, like, all those guys were, were great. Who was your favorite? Like, who'd you think was the best? I mean, to me, it's Keith Olbermann. Dan Patrick. I know people look at Keith Olberman differently now because of politics, but when on that show, they were the best.
- [26:41]
Drew Franklin
Yeah. I think Kilbourne for me, was my favorite, but it was great. Over was funny too, though. I mean, regardless of what you think about him now, Steve Levy, don't forget.
- [26:49]
Matt Jones
About Steve Levy still on there. And then speaking of Oberman, this morning they announced the news network that I'm sure all of our listeners love, what used to be called msnbc. They changed the name. So I guess MSNBC and NBC are separating. So to do that, they wanted to drop the NBC. So I mean, that's tough. They got to figure out what to call themselves.
- [27:12]
Ryan Lemon
Yeah.
- [27:12]
Matt Jones
So let. So I don't know what would have been better. I don't think this is great. They're called Ms. Now. All right. Now they had to figure out, okay, if we're going to call it Ms. Now, what are we going to say it is? Yeah, because they have to have. Because, you know. Do you remember why it's called msnbc? Does anybody know?
- [27:30]
Ryan Lemon
No.
- [27:31]
Matt Jones
Does anybody know what the Ms. Was? Microsoft. MB's like National Broadcasting Company. So Microsoft doesn't own it anymore. So they're out. They're keeping the Ms. But the now is going to be Ryan. News, opinion, World. Wow. Here's what I think about it. The news and opinion. I think that was smart. They gotta think of something better for W than World.
- [27:59]
Drew Franklin
So then it's Microsoft.
- [28:01]
Matt Jones
It's not Microsoft anymore. So I don't even know.
- [28:03]
Drew Franklin
It's Ms. Now, though.
- [28:04]
Matt Jones
Right. But I guess they just didn't want to change the Ms. But Microsoft's not involved anymore, so.
- [28:10]
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
- [28:10]
Shannon Dawson
Sounds like they've really got things figured out.
- [28:13]
Ryan Lemon
You know, they spill. They spent a million dollars to come up with that. You know, millions. Millions dollar. Come with a new name.
- [28:18]
Matt Jones
What would you have called it?
- [28:20]
Ryan Lemon
Let's Get It.
- [28:21]
Matt Jones
Let's Get It. Your three news stations are Fox News, cnn, and. Let's Get It.
- [28:26]
Ryan Lemon
Let's Get It.
- [28:27]
Drew Franklin
I'm watching. Let's Get It.
- [28:28]
Matt Jones
Yeah, let's actually. To be honest, let's Get It. Sounds exciting. Who's next?
- [28:32]
Ryan Lemon
Caleb is next.
- [28:33]
Matt Jones
Caleb, go ahead. Let's Get It. Caleb.
- [28:36]
Caller
Hey. Good afternoon, guys. Happy golf scramble day. I just wanted to say I like my politicians to be solution oriented. And with Lexington being the second or third most fatal per capita city for driving, I think Ryan Lemon's got a strong bid for mayor and he certainly got my vote. And if you're willing to put a yard sign up. You're willing to pay for my vote?
- [28:59]
Matt Jones
Yeah. Ryan, you. You've talked over the years. I appreciate the call about running for mayor as a joke, but would you consider doing it? I mean, I think you'd be bad at it, but would you still consider doing it?
- [29:10]
Drew Franklin
You're not getting any younger, you know.
- [29:12]
Ryan Lemon
We do kind of joke about it, But I would 100% be serious about it. Like the city council person to start with, you know, when I retire.
- [29:20]
Matt Jones
You do that.
- [29:20]
Ryan Lemon
Well, I'm still enjoying life.
- [29:21]
Drew Franklin
When are you gonna retire?
- [29:22]
Matt Jones
Nothing's stopping you. You only work from 10 to 12. So why don't you on this show, I mean, you do other things, but why don't you, why don't you run for city council? I think that's. I will say this, I give you a hard time. I think you would be a really good city council person because one thing I could definitely say about you is you would like make the decision you thought was best. Like, you know, you can only be bought off by advertisers. You wouldn't be bought out by interest groups. I could totally see you. Plus, you're a man of the community.
- [29:56]
Ryan Lemon
I mean, what else am I going to do when I retire? Why not do something like that? Try to help your community.
- [29:59]
Matt Jones
Speaking of what else are you going to do? People need to understand, not only is this his birthday, this is a sad day for Ryan. He's now an empty nester because his son got accepted into housing for uk, which he didn't think was going to happen. So that means starting Wednesday, he will not be on the show Wednesday because he's moving his son in. You will. For the first time since you were how old?
- [30:23]
Ryan Lemon
First time in 27 years.
- [30:25]
Matt Jones
For the first time in 27 years you're going to be living completely alone.
- [30:30]
Ryan Lemon
Yeah, first time in 27 years a kid has not been in my house. And this one hits me, man. This one really shook me yesterday when he realized he got housing because it's just been me and him for the last like almost four years now. Sudden he's going to leave and then.
- [30:42]
Matt Jones
So are you sad about.
- [30:43]
Ryan Lemon
I am 100% sad. If I keep talking about I'm going to cry. I mean it really.
- [30:46]
Matt Jones
Let's keep going.
- [30:47]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, let's talk about it.
- [30:49]
Matt Jones
Do you like, do you think, I mean, do you think you'll get lonely?
- [30:55]
Ryan Lemon
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I got three dogs. It's gonna be me and the three dogs there at the house.
- [31:00]
Drew Franklin
So you're not entirely empty nester. Yoga girl could always move in with.
- [31:03]
Matt Jones
But I mean, I live by myself first of all. You should do that. I live by myself. Drew is doesn't anymore, but did for a long time. Shannon.
- [31:14]
Ryan Lemon
What do you do when you're home by yourself? Well, hey, how do you entertain yourself?
- [31:18]
Matt Jones
Well, I mean, you watch Netflix. I mean when you say entertain yourself like light, you don't have to just constantly have stimulus in your face. You can, like, read a book. You can read. You can watch television. You can do work. You can. There's a lot of stuff. And it's not like you won't have friends.
- [31:35]
Ryan Lemon
Yeah. I don't know, man. This. This one is really kind of shook me up.
- [31:38]
Matt Jones
You think you'll have a hard time just being by this. Being alone? Do you not like to be alone?
- [31:42]
Ryan Lemon
No. No, not at all.
- [31:44]
Matt Jones
Is that why as soon as you get single, you're not single anymore?
- [31:48]
Ryan Lemon
I think I'll probably spend a lot of time in Georgetown, but I got to come back and take. Let my dogs in and out.
- [31:52]
Matt Jones
But that's certainly a reason to keep your.
- [31:56]
Drew Franklin
Yeah.
- [31:57]
Matt Jones
Keep your very expensive house.
- [31:59]
Drew Franklin
You call your equity back. Yeah, call your equity back.
- [32:03]
Matt Jones
Certainly a reason to keep your house is so you can come. Let your dogs in and out.
- [32:07]
Ryan Lemon
Yeah.
- [32:07]
Shannon Dawson
So it's your dog's house.
- [32:08]
Ryan Lemon
I don't know what's going to happen, man.
- [32:09]
Matt Jones
Drew, how do you think he's going to handle it? I think he. I think this is going to be hard for you. I genuinely do.
- [32:14]
Ryan Lemon
Yeah.
- [32:15]
Shannon Dawson
I think, you know, there could be a night where Josiah could look out his dorm room window and Ryan just parked on the curb, staring, holding a boombox, waiting for a phone call to come in.
- [32:25]
Matt Jones
Do you now, you know, you can't hover in his life like he is in college as a freshman. You've got to let him. You've got to let him be. You know that. Right.
- [32:36]
Ryan Lemon
Which is, like, it's going to be hard because, like, every day after the show, I call him, and we usually have lunch together. I.
- [32:40]
Matt Jones
But it's. But you can't do that.
- [32:42]
Ryan Lemon
I can't do that now.
- [32:43]
Matt Jones
You've got to let him be. Like, he needs to call Dante.
- [32:46]
Drew Franklin
You have lunch with you.
- [32:47]
Matt Jones
Yeah. You and Dante.
- [32:48]
Ryan Lemon
Dante just retired. I can do that with.
- [32:50]
Matt Jones
There you go.
- [32:51]
Drew Franklin
Go to the KS Bar. Go there.
- [32:52]
Shannon Dawson
At the same time, he might call you with something where you have to say, you're on your own. Figure that one out. Like, you also have to give up some of that responsibility. So he can be a butterfly.
- [33:01]
Matt Jones
Yeah. You've got to let him be a man. You.
- [33:03]
Ryan Lemon
You do.
- [33:05]
Matt Jones
I mean, you. It's out of love, but you do a lot of things for your kids that I think you're going to have to start. Let. Handle on their own.
- [33:13]
Ryan Lemon
You're 100% right, and I know that's coming. But He's. He's just across town. I mean, he's just right there. Why can't I go over? Say, man, let's go to Chick Fil A for lunch.
- [33:20]
Matt Jones
Because he's in college. He needs to live his own life.
- [33:23]
Ryan Lemon
I know.
- [33:25]
Shannon Dawson
You can still get a Chick Fil A lunch occasionally. You don't have to act like he doesn't exist.
- [33:29]
Ryan Lemon
There's something else I need to tell you. His girlfriend's dorm is right next door.
- [33:32]
Shannon Dawson
Okay.
- [33:34]
Ryan Lemon
Right next door.
- [33:35]
Drew Franklin
Y. Yeah.
- [33:38]
Matt Jones
Okay. Gotcha. 859280, 2287. Let me tell you just a second. About. What am I telling you about? I'm telling you about the Kentucky Skin Care Center. Kentucky Skin Cancer Center. What are you laughing.
- [33:50]
Ryan Lemon
We're laughing at what just happened.
- [33:52]
Matt Jones
I mean, like, it's not like we're on the air. If your skin is. If your skin trying to tell you something, Swords that don't heal, new growths or spots that feel itchy, it might be a sign of skin cancer. Check it out. Your chances of developing melanoma are higher, are even higher if you're a Kentucky resident. Is that true?
- [34:14]
Drew Franklin
Well, that's what it says, yeah. They would know.
- [34:18]
Matt Jones
The Kentucky Skin Cancer center is there. They got offices in Owensboro, Bowling Green, Franklin, Glasgow and Powderley. It's a Kentucky skin Cancer center. Go get checked out. You can get it treated. It helps early detection. Go to the Kentucky Skin cancer center and Kentuckyskincancercenter.com where you're more than just a patient. Your family. There you go. I just got multiple text messages from people, you know, saying you're going to be very lonely.
- [34:43]
Ryan Lemon
I will be.
- [34:44]
Matt Jones
But that's why you got to go. You also, when you're by yourself, you have to make sure you keep things for you to do so that you don't just sit and wallow in your sad.
- [34:52]
Ryan Lemon
I think I leaned on him so much as a crutch, you know? He and I went through a lot.
- [34:55]
Matt Jones
He's a child, but I leaned on him.
- [34:57]
Ryan Lemon
He kind of helped me through a lot of stuff, you know?
- [35:01]
Drew Franklin
Now you gotta lean on your dogs. They're there for you.
- [35:05]
Shannon Dawson
He's not going to war. I mean, you still talk to him every night.
- [35:09]
Ryan Lemon
Don't need to see him at Kroger Field on Saturday. Hey, Josiah. What's up? Remember me? I'm your dad. Would you come see me?
- [35:17]
Shannon Dawson
Write him letters every night like you're never gonna see him again.
- [35:19]
Matt Jones
Dearest Josiah, hope this finds you well. All right. You're gonna be all right. You can do this.
- [35:24]
Ryan Lemon
I hope. I. I'm worried. It shook me, man. I'm telling you. It shook me.
- [35:28]
Matt Jones
Well, happy birthday, Ryan. We'll take a break and be right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. 859-280-2287. People are writing in Drew to suggest what Ryan should do now that he's in Empty Nest.
- [35:44]
Shannon Dawson
I like this.
- [35:44]
Ryan Lemon
Okay.
- [35:45]
Matt Jones
One person says you should coach youth baseball. I think you'd be good at that.
- [35:48]
Ryan Lemon
Yeah. I did it when my boys were young. I love it.
- [35:51]
Matt Jones
Can you do it and not scream at the children? Because you did one time. Like, didn't you have a. Didn't you hit a girl in the head or something with a bat?
- [35:57]
Ryan Lemon
Yeah, a ball. I threw a ball against the fence and it skimmed.
- [36:00]
Matt Jones
He wasn't intentional, ma'. Am. It was, like, accidental. I didn't do it. Can you. But you. Can you do it without getting kicked out of games and stuff?
- [36:07]
Ryan Lemon
I think it has to be, like, maybe the T ball level to keep the. Keep the temperament down.
- [36:12]
Matt Jones
At least he.
- [36:12]
Shannon Dawson
At least he knows his limits.
- [36:14]
Matt Jones
Yeah, I like this one. This is my Draft Kings tweet of the day.
- [36:18]
Drew Franklin
Like that.
- [36:18]
Matt Jones
You go to DraftKings, bet $5, get $200 in bonus bets. DraftKings, their games all night. I think the Reds play the Angels tonight. We got Bengals Commander Bingo's commanders as well. Both going on. You can learn more at DraftKings. Use the promo code KSR. DraftKings, the crown is yours. This person says Ryan's only 59. He still got a good 20 years before he's old enough to be in the government. That's a good joke. Actually, people are too old in the government, so why not?
- [36:49]
Ryan Lemon
Well, as long as you'll keep me around, I'm gonna ride your coattails as far as I can.
- [36:53]
Matt Jones
Good grief. All right, first of all, I don't need that pressure. Josiah.
- [36:59]
Ryan Lemon
You gotta support my family. Damn it.
- [37:00]
Matt Jones
Are you. Shut up. 859-280-22-287. One thing before we go. But before I go, the phone. Shannon, you. We all know you wear Skechers.
- [37:13]
Drew Franklin
Did it one time. I've moved on.
- [37:15]
Matt Jones
Skechers has announced they are going to put a shoe for children where they will put an air tag in the shoe so that the parent will always know. The two women here are both clapping.
- [37:28]
Ryan Lemon
Yeah.
- [37:29]
Matt Jones
So that the parent will always know where the child is via an air tag. It will cost. I think it's like $275. So you gotta want this. I don't know why you can't just buy shoes and then put an air tag in it, but. Yeah, but for 270 to $5, they'll make it together. Do you like this? Yes or no?
- [37:47]
Drew Franklin
It would have helped you on Saturday night at Bobo's Tea when those kids were running around. I know, but their parents didn't know where they were, apparently. Yeah. I think it's a good thing until somebody steals your shoes, but then you can find out who stole your shoes, right?
- [38:02]
Ryan Lemon
Yeah.
- [38:02]
Matt Jones
Yeah. Can I just. Okay, so I. I don't care. I don't have kids. If you want to put, you know, if you want to put metal detectors in their shoes or whatever, you can do whatever you want. But there is a part of me. It's like we could just continue to, like, submit all of our information into the cloud. So you are. I will note, you are essentially giving your child's location to a private company that could be hacked. Right. So you're giving your child's location to a private company that, in theory, someone could hack it and they'd know where all the kids were. And so stuff like that worries me. Now is the trade off of your parents being able to find you if you got kidnapped.
- [38:45]
Drew Franklin
I mean, that's.

Matt Jones
Yes, that's a trade off. But I would also note now they'll just make it to where when people kidnap kids, they'll just throw their shoes into a lot or something. So I don't know. I just. We can like. I never turn my location on anywhere. Yeah, because I just. I don't know. Do we want to keep down that pass through?
- [39:07]
Shannon Dawson
I just don't think you should buy your kids Skechers. Start there. But also, it does seem they're. They're ripping you off. If I could just get an air tag for $30 and throw it on a necklace or a backpack.
- [39:18]
Drew Franklin
Yep.
- [39:18]
Shannon Dawson
Why do I need Skechers to be my middleman here?
- [39:20]
Matt Jones
And because conceivably they could lose a backpack, but they'll always have their shoes on.
- [39:25]
Shannon Dawson
Kids probably lose shoes a lot. I don't have a kid, but I feel like they lose their shoes.
- [39:28]
Matt Jones
But now you know where the shoe is.
- [39:30]
Drew Franklin
That's right. You got a starting point.
- [39:31]
Shannon Dawson
I'm pro tagging your kids. I'm not pro. Skechers tag shoes.
- [39:36]
Drew Franklin
Chip them, you know, like a collar around their neck.
- [39:39]
Shannon Dawson
Like, I got one in my backpack right now. It says it's in my car. You just put it somewhere. But I don't think you need this.
- [39:44]
Matt Jones
What about you?
- [39:44]
Ryan Lemon
I. I've lost my kid a couple times over the years and I think this airtag probably would have been helpful.
- [39:49]
Matt Jones
Look at Martin. What do you mean you've lost your kid a couple times?
- [39:53]
Ryan Lemon
There's one time at the. The mall in Nashville. All of a sudden, Gavin just disappeared and I couldn't find him. We were. He was ran running around the hallway.
- [40:00]
Drew Franklin
But imagine you had a Track My kid app.
- [40:02]
Ryan Lemon
I had.
- [40:02]
Drew Franklin
Pull it up on your phone. There you go.
- [40:04]
Ryan Lemon
Here's my question, Matthew. Why can't we do it for old people? I would wear Skechers with air tag.
- [40:09]
Drew Franklin
They usually move a little slower.
- [40:10]
Ryan Lemon
I get lost.
- [40:11]
Matt Jones
Are you lost often?
- [40:13]
Ryan Lemon
Well, it's coming. I'm sure I just reached 59 years old.
- [40:16]
Matt Jones
First of all, you could do it. You could just turn on your location on your phone and share it with me. Ryan or me, Drew and Shannon. We'll know where you are. I don't. I don't.
- [40:26]
Ryan Lemon
I don't know how to do that.
- [40:28]
Matt Jones
Well, then I don't want to get.
- [40:29]
Shannon Dawson
The group text to work.
- [40:30]
Matt Jones
Yeah, that's true. He can't even do that. I just. I get the benefit. I understand that it would give comfort to people to know they could see where their kid is, but I also don't think we think about. The more we turn our lives over, the more somebody, a nefarious actor, could hack in and find where all these children are. That's. That's nerve wracking stuff to some extent, Shannon.
- [40:55]
Drew Franklin
Yeah, but I feel like that's kind of the direction we're going in, regardless if we like it or not.
- [41:01]
Matt Jones
And last thing I'll say about it, whether we. We all have complaints about the government. Me more now than probably ever. With that said, at least with the government, you have rights. You can vote people out. We give our information to private companies. We have no control over them whatsoever. Like they can. Like we have no way of stopping what private companies do. So as much as we hate the government, at least with the government there are some checks. With private companies, there's no checks whatsoever. And so I don't know, I just. That stuff kind of worries me and I'll leave it at that. Who's next? Jerry is up next. Jerry. Go ahead, Jerry.

Caller
Hey, man. First off, I want to tell Ryan 1966 was a great year. A lot of great people were born in 66. Hell yeah, it was. Anyway. But as the Toledo game, I think if they beat Toledo by more than 14, you can feel better about the rest of the year. But. But the worry with this Toledo game, to me the biggest worry is we're starting 11 guys on offense that haven't played together before in a game. And Toledo's got all their people back and they're building this up. If they win this game, they think they can run the rest the of games and maybe be the non Power 5 team in the playoff.
- [42:13]
Matt Jones
You're exactly right. I mean, you're exactly right. Toledo looks at this. I appreciate the call. Toledo looks at this and says if we beat Kentucky, we got a shot to make the playoff. That's how they look at it. They're not crazy if that happens. But Drew, they're not going to beat us. I do think we're going to take care of.
- [42:31]
Shannon Dawson
But if you're in their shoes and they have a lot of people back from last year. They had an SEC game last year. They went down to Starkville and won by double digits. So this isn't a game that they're going to be afraid of while they're having these playoff dreams.
- [42:42]
Matt Jones
Why did we schedule this game? But I agree we are going to win though. I mean if we're going to bet the alternate spring, we go play pansies. Can we play like real pansies?
- [42:51]
Drew Franklin
Eastern Michigan should have been first.
- [42:53]
Ryan Lemon
Yeah. You know, Chip training is going to score a touchdown probably in the first quarter. He will score a touchdown.
- [42:58]
Matt Jones
Thank you all very much for coming out. Thanks to Stockton Mortgage Cornbread, him boomer express minus 196 and on rocks the cocktails and all of our sponsors that will be out on the holes. We'll see you guys tomorrow back in Lexington. This has been Kentucky Sports Radio.
