Welcome back our number two Kentucky Sports Radio. What'd your dad just text you?

[Matt Jones]

My dad who 83. 83 years old.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, he's 83. Just said we binge watch. Gilded Age. All of it.

[Ryan Lemond]

There you go. Are you going to tell him he's got a secret lady on the side?

[Matt Jones]

Well, I guarantee my mom made him.

[Ryan Lemond]

Watch that, but he said what? We loved it. We includes him.

[Matt Jones]

I don't see that on my text that it says we loved it so we binge watched.

[Ryan Lemond]

And here's the other thing about Gilded Age.

[Drew Franklin]

Let me just say we loved it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Here's why I like Gilded Age. I could recommend that to my parents and not feel guilty because it's not really dirty at all. Like I don't. There's one dirty scene in season one that has some nudity. Yes, but besides that, like they don't cuss.

[Matt Jones]

Pretty pg.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's. I would say it's pg. I would say they didn't even really need to do the nudity scene. They could have made it completely clean. Now hunting wives.

[Matt Jones]

Mom, stay away from that one.

[Ryan Lemond]

If you watch it, don't tell me about it. And I guarantee don't watch that. But. But people, Gilded Age is like as far as to television in 2025 is about as pure as it can get, wouldn't you say?

[Matt Jones]

It really has changed a lot in the last five years for like since COVID where it's gotten away from that gotten away from what, Being so risque.

[Ryan Lemond]

You think shows are less risque now?

[Matt Jones]

Shows like this, like Gilded Age.

[Ryan Lemond]

This is the only one I can think of, though. That's what I'm saying. Like shows like this. Unless you watch, like, Tom Selleck on Blue Bloods or something.

[Shannon]

Like they put their clothes back on. Is that what you're saying? I mean, what. Why would Covet have anything to do with it?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, I don't know what he's talking about.

[Shannon]

Everybody's got their clothes back on.

[Ryan Lemond]

Everybody got less nude during COVID I would actually. People probably got more during COVID because they didn't have anything else.

[Matt Jones]

I'm saying there's more serious. Seem like they don't put off. Take off their clothes. Like what? Succession be another one.

[Ryan Lemond]

Succession is dirty and they cuss every sentence.

[Matt Jones]

There's no nudity.

[Ryan Lemond]

I don't even know if that's true. But a little bit. But there's a little bit. But I mean, I would not call that a not dirty show.

[Drew Franklin]

The most popular line is the F word.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. I mean, that's blank off. That may be more cuss words per capita in that show than all the time.

[Matt Jones]

We're talking about just nudity Anyway.

[Ryan Lemond]

All right. 859-280-2277. I was just showing during the break. I don't know what to say about this.

[Drew Franklin]

I wish you hadn't shown me because I don't want.

[Ryan Lemond]

You know, it's going to be an honor to work for the NFL and they'll probably.

[Drew Franklin]

For us.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, it's an honor. They're very excited. I mean, and it's probably not going to last very long because they're going to be like, these two guys don't know anything about the NFL. So I. I'm going to enjoy that. Like, ESPN has accepted I don't know anything and still lets me do it. The NFL's gotta know, like, I don't know anything. And at some point they are going to learn. And I don't. I can't imagine that's what they want.

[Drew Franklin]

The gig will come up around playoff time.

[Ryan Lemond]

Some point they're going to be like, dude, you have to understand that Andrew Luck is still not the quarterback. The Colts, at some point, the Raiders.

[Drew Franklin]

Are in Vegas now, guys, you have.

[Ryan Lemond]

To stop saying Oakland. Okay? But right now it's cool. So Friday night, Shannon, I get an email at 10:30 at night. See, at the NFL, they work late on the clock. They finished the COVID art for what? They want the podcast to look like, and they send it to me for my approval. All right. I'm kind of of the thing. Like, I'm just lucky to be here. I'm gonna prove whatever they say, right? Because I'm. Who am I to tell the NFL no? Right. I open it. I mean, it's the worst thing I've ever seen. It's terrible.

[Shannon]

I need to see it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Just one picture of me where I'm up speaking with the bangs and Rob Goodell, and I look like I beat Vandy Button. And I look like the fattest, stupidest looking goober on earth. I'd pick that over this picture. They do a caricature. Like, they draw us. They could not have drawn me worse. I had to go to people all weekend and go, tell me I don't look like this. Right?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

And I don't right now.

[Drew Franklin]

You look like a thumb in that cartoon.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's awful.

[Shannon]

That was very light.

[Ryan Lemond]

It looks like a. Shut up, Shannon. You know, it's awful.

[Matt Jones]

It does look like a fourth grader.

[Ryan Lemond]

Drew. They don't give me a neck. They have me, like, no neck. Mario looked at it and said it looked like I'm dying. They make me look like I'm 65 on my last legs with no neck. In the hospital, telling everyone by, there's.

[Drew Franklin]

No neck or chin, your neck just turns into your forehead.

[Ryan Lemond]

All. No neck, no chin. They give me a forehead line that I don't even have. Why add wrinkles? Okay.

[Shannon]

I've learned a horizontal line across.

[Ryan Lemond]

I've got crow's feet when I smile. I understand that. I've actually had that my whole life. I'm like, if you want to have that, you don't need to put it on there. Like you could. I know. I have them. You don't need to extenuate them.

[Drew Franklin]

They gave me, like, five crows feet.

[Ryan Lemond]

They gave. They made you. They were like, this guy must be really sunny when he talks.

[Matt Jones]

Bruce look like he's, like, 60.

[Ryan Lemond]

They give him a beard that's, like, not the color of his beard. I've got, though, a forehead line I don't even have. I look like Sling Blade.

[Drew Franklin]

So I actually.

[Ryan Lemond]

Not that I love mine.

[Drew Franklin]

I came out much better than you, even though I just look like Jeff Segurgan.

[Ryan Lemond]

Why don't you send it out? I will eventually. We've gotta fix it first. They don't want me to send it out till I fix it.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah. Cause they'll be using that fake one all over the place.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, I understand, like, the fake one's Gonna go into the lore. I get it. It's gonna be like the picture the Courier Journal always uses when they do a story about me. This fake one, I. It's gonna get in the ether. I've made sure Mario's the only one that has a copy because I trust Mario. I used to tr. I trust Shannon with the butt picture. I don't know if I trust Shannon.

[Shannon]

With everything else that never came out.

[Ryan Lemond]

It hasn't.

[Drew Franklin]

It's just too much for one person to hold.

[Shannon]

If you don't.

[Ryan Lemond]

Mario is the only one that has the picture of the art. I'm gonna assume it stays with Mario. However Mario fit ever gets out, I'm going to know.

[Shannon]

You know the source.

[Ryan Lemond]

I know the source. So this was my response to this. Remember, I'm writing, like 10 people that work at the NFL.

[Drew Franklin]

Is Goodell cc'd on there?

[Ryan Lemond]

I think he's on there. Jerry Jones, you know, Robert Kraft. They're all on here. There's also some color schemes. So here's what I say. The blue and yellow color scheme works, but I kind of have to say I feel like that's a fairly uncomplimentary picture of both of us, but especially me. Haha. I added the Haha. Soften the boy.

[Drew Franklin]

We're just. We're just laughing.

[Ryan Lemond]

We're just. We're just boys here. Right?

[Drew Franklin]

Good tone for the just boys.

[Ryan Lemond]

I feel like caricature should be the best version of us. Is there any one. Any way to make me slightly less lumpy and wrinkled? Lumpy. I like to use the word lumpy.

[Drew Franklin]

A cartoon is lumpy.

[Ryan Lemond]

Is there any way to make me slightly less lumpy and wrinkled now?

[Shannon]

Like a raisin or something.

[Ryan Lemond]

I send that on Friday night. No response until Saturday afternoon. The guy who did the artwork. Oh, no. Writes back Saturday afternoon, and he said this is how he starts it. Quote, less lumpy is a good note.

[Matt Jones]

So he's taking your advice.

[Ryan Lemond]

I should have added. These illustrations are a work in progress. Give us a chance, and we will nail it on the next round.

[Matt Jones]

Okay.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay. All right.

[Shannon]

That's a rough. Rough draft.

[Drew Franklin]

Could maybe just left that one on the table.

[Ryan Lemond]

They also asked Drew and I to pick our music.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay. So we have to have theme music. See, we can't use. We can't use the music like we can't use a song for the same reason we can't play songs on the air here.

[Matt Jones]

Right.

[Ryan Lemond]

So we have. So the NFL. I didn't know this. They have thousands of just riffs that they play. No, I'm serious.

[Drew Franklin]

Shannon, you would have loved this.

[Ryan Lemond]

You would have loved this. Okay? So they have, like, thousands of riffs that they just have, like, in their inventory. Okay. And they send us 20 that they think remind them of you guys.

[Shannon]

They don't even know you.

[Ryan Lemond]

They do not know us. But they hear our voices, and you'll be able to tell. They think we're from the sticks. Right? They think we're from the stick. So they send it to us, and they're like, which one of these 20 do you like? So we play them. Mario, get on the microphone. You were here when we played them. How would you describe the 20 sounds? They said it sounded like a western movie. Like, every song was like a western movie. Every song was like. Except country and twangy. And we would sit in here and listen, and I would just go, no, we can't. No.

[Drew Franklin]

Half of them had a banjo.

[Ryan Lemond]

I eliminate anyone with a banjo. Out.

[Drew Franklin]

Gone. Get it out of here.

[Ryan Lemond]

There were channing lots of banjos like that.

[Shannon]

They say, this is what reminds you. Reminds us. Reminds us of you. Don't even know you. And they send you that.

[Ryan Lemond]

And so we're sitting here, and I. And I'm after this picture. I ain't. I ain't telling them to change something else. So we got to pick one of them.

[Matt Jones]

So you haven't pictured.

[Drew Franklin]

Our reaction Siege 1.

[Ryan Lemond]

I wish you could have seen our faces.

[Shannon]

Can we play that one?

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, that's what I'm looking at. I'm trying to find them here.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I have an email, and it seems.

[Ryan Lemond]

See if you can find the. See if you can find the email. I'd like to play them on here, a few of them, just so you can hear what we had to choose.

[Matt Jones]

So they're picking it based on hearing you, your accent. They think that you got to go along with this kind of music.

[Ryan Lemond]

They want it to have a vibe. Right.

[Drew Franklin]

And it seems to not be the same vibe we were considering.

[Ryan Lemond]

I can't.

[Drew Franklin]

I don't. They might have, like, pulled them out of my email inbox after the way we laughed at them. I can't find it.

[Ryan Lemond]

We did laugh at them quite a lot. But anyway, so that's where we are on everything. As long as we change the picture, I think I'm going to be okay.

[Matt Jones]

You should probably get an update then soon. I mean, hell, the season's coming up.

[Ryan Lemond]

Hey, Billy, if you have them out there, bring them in here on your phone so I can play a few of them. Go, Mario, go. See if Billy has them and we'll play.

[Drew Franklin]

I got a couple of them.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, but you can't put it in the mic like I can, so. All right, Terry. Go ahead, Terry. 859-280-2287.

[Caller]

Yeah, Matt, happy. We share the same birthday on Thursday. So happy early a birthday. As far as you calling Toledo the Blue Hens, I think where you're getting confused, I'm going to give you a little credit here is way back in the day, the Louisville Colonels were the Boston Red Sox farm team that played in Louisville. And Shannon, you can fact check me on this. They used to play a team from Toledo and they were called the Mudhead.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's right. Good call. That's exactly what I was thinking of. Terry. You're right. The Mud Heads. And I think they're still called the Mud. They still are now. You're exactly right.

[Caller]

And what do you think the odds if I come to KS Bar Saturday morning pregame? What's the chance I can score a ticket from someone they're not. I'm not. I'm not asking for a freebie.

[Ryan Lemond]

Hi. Oh, for sure. Hi. I mean the.

[Caller]

I.

[Ryan Lemond]

There is almost never a game unless it's a huge game that there's not somebody there who has a ticket or who has, who brings them for me to give away. So, so I would say the answer is very, very high. And honestly, between now and then, I'm sure people will send me tickets. And Terry, if you come up to me, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll give you one.

[Caller]

Thanks, sir. Have a good day.

[Ryan Lemond]

I can say that to Terry. No one else asked. But Terry's been listening the show since the Sports Mob with Matt and Rob days.

Welcome back techie sports radio. 859-280-2287 I'm gonna go the phone here in just a second. All right, real quick. High school football this week. Sad about what happened at Graves county yes, it was a shooting at Mayfield Graves county in the fourth quarter. 14 year old. Is that the one who shot? Who was. Was shot or did shoot?

[Matt Jones]

Oh, the 14 year old thinks the one's been apprehended. I don't know how old the young boy was. It got hit.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's awful.

[Matt Jones]

It's awful.

[Drew Franklin]

An 18 year old, I think.

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean, just awful. You. There's a. There's a clip out there of like they're playing and you hear the shots and everybody goes running. Like that's, that's absolutely awful. Just absolutely awful. Prayers to everybody. I didn't say anything online about it just because I didn't really know what was going on and so I didn't want to. I couldn't find really good news reports about what happened for a long time. So. But anyway, prayers to everybody involved. Then you had. There were like a couple of upsets, right? Didn't. Didn't. What was the upset? I saw. Well, I don't now forget what the upset was, but you mentioned Jared Lorenzen son. Yeah, it's Taylor Tayden. Tayton, yeah. He scored the two point conversion in overtime to beat your Frederick Douglass whatevers.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, they were in overtime. They instead of going for the extra point to tie, they go for two. Tayden gets the two point conversion. Big win. Home opener for him. So I think it's the KSR curse in reverse. We. We talked it into existence.

[Ryan Lemond]

They beat your team.

[Matt Jones]

That's okay. Just I didn't play for him anymore.

[Ryan Lemond]

Wow. So how about that Jewel. Jared Lorenzens kid rumbles in to get the winning touchdown or the winning two point conversion to. Which is a big win for that school. Right. To beat Frederick Douglass.

[Matt Jones]

Highland expected to have a good year this year. So yeah, it's a good way to start their season beating Douglas.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah. I was at a casino in Tahoe. One of the guys I was with nudge me and showed me on his phone. I kind of got a little emotional there. 22, run it in. So very cool.

[Matt Jones]

The highlight of number 22, you know.

[Ryan Lemond]

And if you want, if you want a couple more football things, we scheduled Texas for homecoming. Yeah, we're not scared, Shannon. Yeah, normally you schedule the team you're going to beat for homecoming. Oh, not us. Hey, Preseason number one. Heck yeah. It's homecoming. Get some.

[Shannon]

Everybody watch our team get their butt kicked by 50 points.

[Ryan Lemond]

Whoa. No, no.

[Shannon]

Come on.

[Ryan Lemond]

Schedule who? You know you're going to beat me.

[Drew Franklin]

Homegoing for them with a loss back.

[Ryan Lemond]

Consider how many Texas fans I think are coming that it might be their homecoming. That's all right.

[Drew Franklin]

Can be a lot of burnt orange.

[Ryan Lemond]

We scheduled homecoming for the Texas, the team against the number one. It's going to be hard to get tickets for that game.

[Matt Jones]

Well, who are the other choices? Florida or Tennessee for that for an October, you know, there's not.

[Ryan Lemond]

Not got to pick either one of them. Or BBN United game is Tennessee. There might be more Tennessee fans in the crowd than Kentucky.

[Matt Jones]

That's true.

[Drew Franklin]

It's not very united of BBN if that happens.

[Matt Jones]

Maybe they're hoping for a little homecoming magic. You know, the queen can do a pep talk.

[Ryan Lemond]

Military service people. Our military day is the Florida game. They always used to get Tennessee Tech. I was always like, our military deserves more than to watch us play UT Martin.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, it's usually always the second home game, which is like UT Martin here.

[Ryan Lemond]

This year they're going to get the Florida game. That's a good game for our military.

[Drew Franklin]

The best game because we're going to win that game. I'm sure of it. I'm glad we're taking care of the military. That always gets a great turnout and they have all the extra stuff that comes with it too. I don't know what they'll do this.

[Ryan Lemond]

Year specifically, but it's confident about our football team. Okay. Zach Calzada last year for Incarnate word through for 6,000 yards. They were good launching it around. They had their first game of the post Calzada era. They didn't score a touchdown.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, really?

[Ryan Lemond]

To Nichols State and former Kentucky quarterback Deuce Hogan. 20 to 6.

[Matt Jones]

Really?

[Ryan Lemond]

So after putting up, literally putting up, you know, tons of yards last year, like average like 400 some yards, 450 yards a game. They did nothing with Calzada gone. Maybe a little, you know, maybe I'm reaching, but maybe a little positive, not reaching at all.

[Drew Franklin]

It's. I mean, let's not play the game Saturday. Calzada is the man. If Incarnate Word played so bad without him. He did have a crazy year last year. Like he didn't throw many interceptions. That's one thing. I think that's really going to matter.

[Ryan Lemond]

Whoever replaced him had three interceptions, no touchdowns.

[Matt Jones]

Big shoes to fill.

[Ryan Lemond]

Maybe, maybe, maybe he can refine some.

[Matt Jones]

Of that magic on Saturday.

[Ryan Lemond]

Longhorns homecoming. Bring it. The homecoming queen is going to spike it in your face when it's over. By the way, for those, for those of you listening live, you won because we don't even get to play that music segment on the podcast.

[Matt Jones]

That's right.

[Ryan Lemond]

Take it out to cut that whole thing out.

[Matt Jones]

That's like from their music library.

[Ryan Lemond]

Any of it, so. Oh, well, Mark Anthony, go ahead.

[Caller]

Hey, Matthew, Ryan, Drew and Shannon. Matt, that guy that called complaining that you hadn't said anything about football. We don't know anything about football. Nobody's told us anything about football. It's a big blue box. We'll find out on Saturday. I think Stoops, he'll find out on Saturday. Football, the face of the team this year, which is usually your quarterback, is. She is Pete. I mean, for goodness sake. Yeah, we don't know nothing. You can't say anything. And as far as the show, you and Drew are done. Matthew, I know you told us at the beginning when it started that you, you were told you needed to find out more about pro football and bring up your knowledge. But. But I don't believe. Well, it's great that you have, but I don't believe you're going to need it because I think, okay, this happens on Sunday night right after all the football games have been done. Am I right?

[Ryan Lemond]

That's one of the two we'll do each week. Yes.

[Caller]

Okay. Okay. Sunday night after the football games. Everybody has had their belly full of prognosticator birds, of analysts, of people breaking down. Who did what right, who did what wrong. They're sick of it. What they're looking for comic relief, babe. And there you go.

[Ryan Lemond]

See, that's what I like to hear. I got to go to break, but that's you. Pop me up there. I appreciate it, Mark.

[Drew Franklin]

Appreciate that.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's the goal. Although I do have a notebook. I've taken notes on each team.

[Drew Franklin]

Nice.

[Ryan Lemond]

I bought this crazy like thing. You wait and see. TJ Smith, personal injury attorney.

[Matt Jones]

Call tj he'll make them pay.

[Shannon]

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

[Ryan Lemond]

So we have a couple. We got lots of people on the phone, so I want to do this quickly. KS bar opens tomorrow. We're going to be there Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We also are open for the game Saturday. We'll talk more about that breakfast. Hopefully people will come and, and celebrate it being opening, hopefully a win. But we're there tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday. Love to have you come by sometime over the next few days. We'd love to have you tomorrow for the show but remember, it's not always like if the place is full, you're not able to hear us. It's only like so, you know, love to have you but like you can Spread it out. Matter of fact, we'd like you to spread it out. Come tomorrow, come Wednesday, come Thursday, come Friday night. Like, you know, we're. We're excited about it. We've had. We've had some openings where we had to deal with some, you know, some. Some growing pains, but we've done that. And I'm proud. The play of the place, it looks better, but. But it also, most importantly, the food's better. I mean, if we. We. We knew that, like, some of the items had slipped in the last year or two, which is why we start. Wanted to restart, get everything right. And I feel like we've on a lot of items, gotten a lot better. And then the things we did the best, which I think were like, the wings and cheese logs are what they were before, but, like, boneless wings needed to improve. We got those better. The burgers need to improve. It got exponentially better. Thanks to no Jay Linda. We got new appetizers. Try the tater cakes. Trust. They're the best.

[Drew Franklin]

Love those.

[Ryan Lemond]

Did you like those, Shannon?

[Shannon]

Yeah, that was the appetizer we got. And that's.

[Ryan Lemond]

I think that might pass the cheese log. It's very good for the best thing that we have.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

And then the new. The new queso thing, I think is.

[Matt Jones]

Like, the new fried pickles are really good too. And the new pretzel bread. All the appetizers are really good.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. So. So, yeah. So anyway, that's opens tomorrow. We'll be there Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The Reds, they keep hanging in, Hanging on. I kind of was like, if they lose Sunday and the Mets win, then I'm giving up. But then the Mets lost and we won. And so now we're still only a game and a half back. Right.

[Matt Jones]

And we were talking about you. Didn't you get Hunter Green back at the perfect time, right. When you're still hanging on?

[Ryan Lemond]

He comes in tonight against the Dodgers. Dodgers. The next three games, though.

[Matt Jones]

But you got. You got him going. That's gonna feel good about that.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. We got a bad game from Andrew Rabbit. You know, Fat Damon didn't. Didn't bring it like he normally does.

[Matt Jones]

But you said the fat reliever guy came in throwing heat this week.

[Ryan Lemond]

Big sugar.

[Matt Jones]

Big Sugar.

[Ryan Lemond]

Big Sugar. I found out, Shannon, how they named Big Sugar.

[Shannon]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

He was playing at Georgia Tech. And the announcer for a game when he came in goes, well, he just, like, looks like a big old hunk of sugar. Which I think if you're playing in a game and the announcer says that that's a little mean. You're an athlete.

[Drew Franklin]

You're compared to hunk of sugar.

[Ryan Lemond]

But he was in College. He 18 years old. And he comes in, the answer just goes, well, he looks like a big old hunk of sugar.

[Matt Jones]

Well, he does. Look at him. He looks like a big old hunk of sugar. Sugar looks a big old bag of sugar.

[Shannon]

Walking like your face and that NFL logo.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay, shut up now. That is not.

[Caller]

Drew.

[Matt Jones]

Hit it. You look like a thumb.

[Drew Franklin]

There's just no definition between any like. I know, it's just.

[Ryan Lemond]

You don't have to tell me.

[Drew Franklin]

The forehead is all one thing.

[Ryan Lemond]

Now, remember, I haven't seen the pictures they based it on, but Mario was supposed to select them. Did you send the worst picture of me that I have? Well, you sent them the wrong one. Or they have a third grader drawing it. Doing good. Go ahead. Doing good.

[Caller]

Morning sellers. This is doing good. I hope you're doing well. Matt, I got one question for you. I heard you got a character looks a lot like me. I'd like to ask a question, hang up and listen to your response at that there bar restaurant you're getting ready to open. You got any of them french fried taters?

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean, I knew where this was going from moment one. I appreciate the call.

[Matt Jones]

Kind of made me giggle.

[Ryan Lemond]

I feel like you can do it better.

[Drew Franklin]

It could have been better.

[Ryan Lemond]

Like, I do a pretty good sling blade. You do, obviously, because I look like it in that picture. I'm not going to do it here. Cause I feel like there's pressure. But if it just ever happens. If it ever just happens, just know I do.

[Shannon]

Have you seen the sling blade cats on Tik Tok where they take the voice over, but they use like the. The face of the ugly cat, a sling blade.

[Ryan Lemond]

I actually would like that. I'm not. I'm not gonna lie to you. I would like that.

[Shannon]

That's great.

[Ryan Lemond]

Have you. Has anybody seen again, the. They've got. It's on all the news stations. The way these sororities are now putting movies out as their Rush videos.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, it's like Holly produced, like, honestly.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm not kidding. They honestly look like movies.

[Matt Jones]

Really.

[Ryan Lemond]

Like they're like jet skiing on the water with like drones over them.

[Matt Jones]

Good grief.

[Ryan Lemond]

There's a. There's one. It's. I know, I don't know this, right? But it's at College of Charleston where, honestly, Jerry Bruckheimer's kid has to be going there. I mean, I didn't see that one.

[Drew Franklin]

In particular, but I know you're talking about.

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean they're, they're like, they, they're.

[Drew Franklin]

Not just dancing in front of the house.

[Ryan Lemond]

It used to be they would just go, you know, shake your tail feather in front of the house.

[Drew Franklin]

And they'd hold their iPhone cameras.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's like Mission impossible.

[Matt Jones]

Wow. It's graduated to that level.

[Ryan Lemond]

I would like to know. I'm not even kidding. I'd like to know what the production video shoot odds. I don't. It's one of the ones at College of Charleston that they had it on, on, on CBS News the other day. There were like four of them.

[Drew Franklin]

I think James Cameron did that one.

[Ryan Lemond]

I saw the Alabama. The applications to Alabama have gone up 800% in the last three years and they think it's because of sorority rush.

[Matt Jones]

Really?

[Ryan Lemond]

Listen, I saw a story that said first of all, there are multiple people whose whole job it is. Their entire job is they are hired by parents to teach their daughters how to get into the sorority they want to get into. That is unbelievable to me. I mean, you want to talk about raising a spoiled child? That is the most unbelievable thing. Then there are this one also blew my mind. So I guess if you join a sorority at one school, Shannon. And you transfer to another, you automatically get into that chapter. Oh, okay.

[Shannon]

The transfer portal.

[Ryan Lemond]

So I don't know the names of all the sororities, but let's say one is like there's like a something pie, like a D PI. So at some schools it's really good and then at some schools it's not. There are kids who will as a freshman go to the school. That's not good.

[Matt Jones]

Get in that sorority.

[Ryan Lemond]

Get in.

[Matt Jones]

Wow.

[Ryan Lemond]

So they can then transfer to where it's good and automatically be it.

[Drew Franklin]

It's like a G league for sororities, Shannon.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's crazy.

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's the craziest thing I've ever heard.

[Shannon]

That's a level of commitment to that that I didn't even know was happening.

[Ryan Lemond]

Go to a school where you know you're going to leave again. This is for allegedly academics in your freshman. Your first year of college and your first year of college is like the G league. You're going to juco so you can then transfer and be. That's, that is insane.

[Matt Jones]

And it's automatic acceptance if you transfer.

[Ryan Lemond]

And that if you're a parent and you let your kid do that. I, I, I like you're, you're asking for them to be the most obnoxious people in the the world.

[Drew Franklin]

Oh yeah. If that's the only reason, like, I started at Madisonville Community College, I didn't do that for the fraternity thing. If you're saving a buck and then going on to the next school, it's one thing. But if you're just.

[Ryan Lemond]

But there was trying to do the pipeline person. They did the story on. They put the thing, Shannon, where they, like, changed their voice like it's a, like it's a hostage. So you wouldn't know who it was.

[Matt Jones]

No.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes.

[Matt Jones]

Strange.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm serious.

[Matt Jones]

I had no idea it was.

[Ryan Lemond]

Got to that there was a whole, like there's a, there's a piece in the New Yorker about it and it's like the links people go, I, I, I can't believe. James. Go ahead, James.

[Caller]

Hey. Yeah, so the one question I was going to answer or ask earlier y' all answered, it was if you're going to be at KSR bar Wednesday or Thursday, because I was thinking about coming up to Lexington and we'll be back and meeting you guys. So that was one thing that I was.

[Ryan Lemond]

What's the second one since we answered that one also?

[Caller]

Huh.

[Ryan Lemond]

What's the other thing?

[Caller]

Oh, the other thing is, is that I am a big UK fan and I think that, you know, I think that we're probably going to do better this year than everybody else is anticipating, I think. I know I was like a lot of other people after last year, really wanted Mark Stoops gone because I just felt like that we weren't going to get to the level of beating the Georgias or the.

[Ryan Lemond]

We're never gonna do that, though. We're never gonna do that. I mean, like, if that's the standard, that's never gonna happen. I mean, I, I do believe that.

[Caller]

I would hope that. I would hope that we would get to that some someday. I know.

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean, I hope, too, but it ain't gonna happen. I mean, I. Look, first of all, I look forward to meeting you when you come. James. I'm gonna have to go. Appreciate the call. I'll see you Wednesday or Thursday when you come. We're never gonna be. I, I will be firmly in the camp and I, I don't know if I'm in the minority. Maybe I am. I don't think I am, but maybe I am. Where. If the standard is. When are we going to get to the point that we're beating the Georgia and Alabama's? You're just going to be set up for a lifetime of disappointment. We might win against them once, but if you want us to be consistently beating the Georgian Alabamas. And that's your standard for success for UK football. Drew, you're just like, that's just unreasonable. It's not going to happen.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, not. Certainly not consistently. I mean, consistently. We had a good run of playing them close recently. Respectable. Heck, this past weekend I met a couple from Georgia and they saw my Kentucky hat and they went out of the way to be like, started to make some noise. We were filling those Kentucky games there for a while. So you have closed the door. But to consistently beat them all the time, I don't know that you'll ever get there.

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean, I'll say it. It's never.

[Matt Jones]

No, everything could have changed last year if they had not punted and gone for it and got it.

[Ryan Lemond]

You lose that close game, won that game last year, do you think we would be favored to win the game this year? No. I mean it's never to happen that we're going to consistently.

[Drew Franklin]

There's just too many built in advantages.

[Ryan Lemond]

Way too many. Nancy, go ahead, Nancy.

[Nancy]

Hi, guys. So I'm a pretty steady listener, but I must have missed the call that they. Someone called in about being banned from the state fair with the miniatures and.

[Ryan Lemond]

That I didn't hear that's. You didn't hear it? Because it didn't happen, at least when I was on here.

[Nancy]

Okay. Well, apparently was an article that Nick Roush wrote. But anyway, I just want to make it clear that this person had. The Louisville Miniature Club had nothing to do with it. He was banned because that's a rule of the state fair because he is a professional. So I just, you know, I just.

[Caller]

Okay.

[Nancy]

And I know your mom's name is Karen, so you know, he called us Karen's. So I'm sorry that your mom has that name because I know she's probably a very nice person. But I just want to say.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, well, I mean, Nick Roush isn't on this show. So like I didn't know. I think I saw that he wrote an article, but we didn't. We don't have anything to do with that. You can write at Roush ksr. And if you would like to curse him out, feel free.

[Nancy]

Okay.

[Ryan Lemond]

He deserves two o' clock on YouTube.

[Drew Franklin]

If you want to.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, go on. Two o' clock he'll be on YouTube and tell him. He was just telling Roush. You stop being awful. You can do that. You have my permission.

[Caller]

Okay. Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

Appreciate the call and I'll bring it up if I don't see your comment. I'll Call him out first thing, first show of the season.

[Ryan Lemond]

[Ryan Lemond]

We'll take a break. Be right back. KSR. That's right. Shake your tail feather. It's KSR 859-280-2287. This segment sponsored by Cornbread Hemp. I was talking to Eric from Cornbread Hemp. He told me they've been at the state fair, Shannon?

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

For 12 days. They sold 7,500 of the seltzers. Wow.

[Matt Jones]

My goodness.

[Shannon]

Including a couple to me because I bought a couple out there. So.

[Ryan Lemond]

So you get a sense of how popular they are. You can get them soon because of Mitch McConnell, you will only be able to buy them in liquor stores.

[Caller]

Right.

[Ryan Lemond]

Starting January 1st. He changed the law after making it to where they could do it. He then flipped. But nevertheless, you can still get them at liquor stores, including stores all over the state. They're immensely popular. I think they sell out like as soon as they put them all. Go to cornbreadhemp.com for the, for the gummies and everything else. Seltzers are popular. There are good friends at Cornbread Hemp and they are going to be sponsoring, I think, Thursday Night Football at the bar all year.

[Matt Jones]

Very cool. Yeah, we got a show. They're coming up, too, don't we?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, we're going there Friday. We're going to be out in their hemp fields again, I think.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, okay.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. So you, you can be be excited about that. People riding on the text machine. 772-774-5254. How did Ryan's first weekend go without Josiah? Well, I saw him.

[Matt Jones]

You did see him. Where'd you see him at?

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm not gonna call the kid out, but I think he's having fun.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, he's having fun. He was supposed to come home yesterday to do some laundry. He didn't show up. But he called me. Let's Just say he's doing just fine.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, I might have.

[Matt Jones]

A matter of fact. I won't tell you the line he used. I think I could say this.

[Ryan Lemond]

Don't do that. Don't do that to him.

[Matt Jones]

No, I'm going to.

[Ryan Lemond]

He said it's like, hang on, Shannon. Do you think he should do this to his kid?

[Shannon]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, let's hear it.

[Matt Jones]

Because people know he's doing just fine.

[Ryan Lemond]

We asked about you, though.

[Matt Jones]

I'm doing horrible. I gotta tell you what, your mom gave me some great advice though. So here's.

[Ryan Lemond]

What did my mom say?

[Matt Jones]

Okay, I'm 90% sure it was your mom that told me this. She said, well, the good news is you got more spare time to go visit with Jennifer. The bad news is you have more free time to go spending with Jennifer.

[Ryan Lemond]

Is that what my mom said?

[Matt Jones]

Poor Jennifer. Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, because then it'll be hard on her.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I'm gonna dumb everything on her.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Matt Jones]

So here's the line. He goes, I feel like we're back at free throw practice and every shot I take, I'm making it.

[Caller]

Wow.

[Drew Franklin]

Talking about grades, right?

[Matt Jones]

He ain't talking about grades. School classes start today.

[Ryan Lemond]

Why did you share that?

[Matt Jones]

Because just letting know he's doing just fine. Every shot I'm taking.

[Ryan Lemond]

Anybody was worried about him, were they, Shannon?

[Shannon]

No. No, we weren't worried about Ryan. You're the one we're all worried about.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm not worried about him. There's zero. I knew Josiah could do it. He's a fun, handsome kid who I. I knew was not. I don't know why you need to call him out like that, but I'm.

[Shannon]

In action in Nashville at 10.

[Drew Franklin]

Roof.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, I mean, I get it. Like he's gonna. He's gonna be fine. I'm talking about you.

[Matt Jones]

I spent a lot of time yoga girl's house all weekend, if that tells you anything.

[Ryan Lemond]

Have you spent a night by yourself?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, I have a couple nights. Just me and the dogs.

[Ryan Lemond]

And how's that going?

[Matt Jones]

Awful. I hate. I. I hate it. The house. I've empty and quiet.

[Ryan Lemond]

Therapists write me asking to give you advice and I had or asking me to get tell you X, Y or Z. I haven't done it. But they all pretty much say the same thing. And they pretty much all say, you cannot just collapse on other people. You have to process this yourself. That just like. Like only spending time with Jennifer is not going to help you with this.

[Matt Jones]

But when I go to the house, the first thing I'm Thinking of, when can I get out of here again? Like, I don't even want. I don't want to be there in an empty house. I can't wait to get out of it again.

[Ryan Lemond]

But you understand you're gonna have to learn to do this.

[Matt Jones]

I don't know. I need somebody to hold my hand.

[Drew Franklin]

At least he's admitting what we've always known.

[Ryan Lemond]

But everyone that came up to you Saturday, this is what you said to them.

[Matt Jones]

Every table at Trivia. Wednesday night, every table Thursday night, party. Every table Saturday night. They're all wanting to only have advice. You're. They're going through it. They're getting ready to go through it.

[Ryan Lemond]

And do they. Do any of them, say, spend every minute with your girlfriend?

[Matt Jones]

No. Somebody at the party, though, did. It was a psychologist and she said I had no time to prepare for it. Most parents have all summer to prepare. He didn't get the notice till Sunday and he moved out on Wednesday. I had like three days, two and a half days to prepare. I wasn't mentally ready, but. So I'm not there yet. I'm still okay. I mean, why didn't he just text me once in a while, let me know he's okay?

[Ryan Lemond]

I think you explained the reason a few minutes ago. Dennis in Richmond. Go ahead, Dennis.

[Caller]

Hey, guys. Being a big UK football fan over basketball, I'm excited for this season, even though myself or no one else can say they know what's going to happen. But I have a better gut feeling about this season than I did going into last season, and I was in the minority last season.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, that being said, that's good.

[Caller]

With that being said, who do you think Soup rather be the Clown Beamer at South Carolina or the little dog at Leisureville?

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, wow. That's a good question. I think Louisville. I appreciate the call. I mean, I think it's Louisville because of, like, he, you know, it's. There's their relationship. While I think it's still positive, like, it's always been competitive. It's always been. It's a complicated friendship that is like. It's always been like that and now it's going to be even more so. So if you were to say to Mark Stoops, which game would you like to win the most? I think he'd probably rank one to the two you just picked. He would probably say Louisville one, South Carolina two, because he just personally doesn't like Beamer. So, you know. But I think you hit them. All right. DraftKings real quick. Gotta do it.
