  • Assorted Qs: “Did a yoga girl get some birthday loving?” “How bad was Wes Roberts at baseball?” “Who is your least favorite caller?” “Most crazy Ryan Lemond story?”

  • Shannon’s Reasoned Take [23:15]: “You say you have freedom of speech, but you don't have freedom of speech when it comes to consequences. Right? There’s going to be consequences for things that you say.”
  • Debate Focus: Is it fair that the entire show, including crew with no involvement, suffers the fallout? Advertiser pressure is seen as likely pivotal.
  • All hosts maintain a neutral stance, respectfully declining to debate the appropriateness of Kimmel’s comments.

---

7. High School Basketball Shot Clocks Coming to Kentucky

• New Rule: Starting 2027–28 season, high school hoops must use a shot clock.
  • Super Mario [46:28]: “I love it. Team can’t just hold the ball now…It’ll make the player better.”

  • All agree it’s a needed step to modernize the game.

[Shannon the Dude]

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

[Ryan Lemond]

All right, welcome back. Our number two Kentucky Sports Radio, Ryan Shannon, the Dude and Super Mario here live in Mount Vernon, Kentucky. Main street in Mount Vernon, the Christian Appalachian Project has their Hunger Walk today. They just had the Hunger Walk went down Main Street. And joining us now to talk a little bit about the Christian Appalachian Project is Guy Adams. You're the president. It was kind of impressive to see 1300 people, mainly students, kind of participate in the Hunger Walk to help raise money and awareness for your organization.

[Guy Adams]

You don't often see that type of youth involvement and that they learn and understand the challenges of food insecurity at this age. That's something they will carry with them the rest of their lives.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, because the one stat that we all talked about where you gave us one out of five children go to bed hungry every night in our Appalachia in our own state.

[Guy Adams]

Yes.

[Ryan Lemond]

So you got kids out here helping fellow their fellow kids.

[Guy Adams]

Yes. And we have food, three food pantries, and then we've got a partnership food pantry in Magoffin County.

[Shannon the Dude]

So you've served, it says here, 653,000 pounds of food served 11,000 participants in need and repaired or rebuilt 276 homes. Talk about how this thing started and how it has sort of evolved over the years and grown into what it is now.

[Guy Adams]

It's interesting, you know, you don't think of a Catholic parish priest with some of the attributes of our founder, Father Biting, but he came here and as a young seminarian was sent to Appalachia and he was then placed in at St. Clair Catholic Church. He started in Berea and Berea had more Catholics than most of our communities. He started with eight Catholics because I asked him back in the 80s, you mean eight Catholic families? He said no, eight Catholics. But he would go out two weeks every summer, put a loudspeaker on his car, hook it to the battery, or if someone was nice enough to let him plug it in their outlet. And he would street preach. And you don't think of Catholic parish priests doing that, but he would do that and he would share the gospel with folks. And so he was more concerned. Yes. With his parish and Shepherding his own flock. But he was concerned about all everybody's relationship with God through Jesus Christ. And so that was kind of an unusual thing. But in doing that, he learned the challenges. And, you know, when you're a preacher, priest, nun, whoever you are, when you start helping people, more people come.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, right.

[Guy Adams]

And so he just learned that there needed to be, in time, an official organization serving people in need in Appalachia.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's how it started.

[Guy Adams]

Yes, that's right.

[Ryan Lemond]

Wow.

[Guy Adams]

When I worked for CAP in the 80s, we were raising about five and a half, $6 million a year. And this year, we just went over $40 million.

[Shannon the Dude]

Wow, that is awesome. Yeah.

[Guy Adams]

To find our budget.

[Ryan Lemond]

So that's awesome.

[Guy Adams]

Someone said, I wish he could see us now. I said, oh, he knows.

[Ryan Lemond]

He knows.

[Super Mario]

Obviously, like, this is a big thing for you guys, what you guys are doing, you know, having these kids come out here and, you know, try to fight hunger, fight the strong fight of hunger. What's the next big thing for you guys, you know, in this. In terms of. In this whole big picture thing for you? Yes.

[Guy Adams]

Well, we took over in the last six months or so, the food pantry in Jackson County, McKee. And we will have a groundbreaking tomorrow for a new building that will look very much like our facility here in Mount Vernon.

[Shannon the Dude]

Nice.

[Guy Adams]

Because they're working out of a house that couldn't be bigger than this tent, this covering. And so we're going to build a real facility there on property that we secured from the city. It's on high ground. You never want in eastern Kentucky to be low ground in floodplains, right? Yes. And so that's what we're going to be doing. But you mentioned the houses. Home repair is our single biggest program, and we do 250 to 300 homes every year in several counties in eastern Kentucky, including Rock Castle county. For people that live in substandard housing, you know, they just are not secure in their own homes. And we do that with them and we invite them to have a little sweat equity and help us wherever they can. If they've got some carpentry skills or if they're just a gopher and they can bring us.

[Shannon the Dude]

That's me. I'm a gopher. I can't build anything. I could go. I'll go hand you this piece of wood. Here's a hammer. Yeah, there you go.

[Ryan Lemond]

So people can go to Christian app.org help your organization, help donate, help with the hunger walk today. So thank you for having us down. Thanks for joining us. And it's A great partnership.

[Guy Adams]

We appreciate KSR and your listeners. Ksr and. And it's just a great partnership if.

[Shannon the Dude]

They'Re here in this area. Best place to donate, bring food. Like, is there a specific.

[Guy Adams]

Our food pantry on the main drag on 25, just past Renfro Valley. You'll see it down on the left if you're going toward Berea.

[Ryan Lemond]

Ye. Right. Okay. Thank you, Guy Adams. Appreciate you being the president of the Christian Appalachian Project. The reason we're down here today, they're Hunger Walk. They're fighting hunger, feeding people one step at a time. And they did it today with the Hunger Walk. So kind of wanted to get the word out what this organization does and. And how they help each other. All right, time to draw another question.

[Shannon the Dude]

All right, let's see what you got. All right, is it my turn here?

[Ryan Lemond]

All right, turn that one down. Draw.

[Shannon the Dude]

Here we go.

[Ryan Lemond]

Next question.

[Shannon the Dude]

This is for Ryan.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, it's for me.

[Shannon the Dude]

Did a yoga girl get some birthday loving?

[Super Mario]

Oh, boy, you already.

[Shannon the Dude]

Before you answer, like, we already know the answer.

[Super Mario]

Before you answer, remember you on radio.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. I tell you how our life works. We go to Rodney's last night, had a great dinner.

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

Then after you eat a big dinner, you kind of got to sit and rest for about an hour to let your dinner settle.

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

Then I realized I need to go let my dogs out. Left her to go left just to go let my dogs out. Came back. Then you got to watch TV for another hour. I mean, that's just how old people operate, you know, you gotta let. You know you can't.

[Shannon the Dude]

That's the build up to it.

[Ryan Lemond]

That is the build up to it. Yes. That's, that's, that.

[Shannon the Dude]

That's the Netflix before the chill.

[Super Mario]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

You're 100%. So that's how it goes. But yeah. Her birthday was yesterday. Kelly's here. Kelly's birthday. Happy birthday, Kelly, 29 years old today.

[Shannon the Dude]

Kelly, she's got her louder than life shirt on.

[Ryan Lemond]

And then Super Mario's birthday is tomorrow. Are you good about that?

[Shannon the Dude]

Are you going to be 30?

[Ryan Lemond]

Don't say your age. Don't say your age. Don't say your age.

[Super Mario]

I'm not that old.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay, don't say it because that's going to be part of our question to give away the tickets later.

[Super Mario]

Okay.

[Ryan Lemond]

All right. So keep that secret.

[Shannon the Dude]

Well, I think we kind of just alluded to he's not 30.

[Super Mario]

So.

[Ryan Lemond]

We mentioned Rock Castle County. We're talking some Rock Castle county football during the commercial break.

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

You know, back in the Day Rocastle county went to back to back state title games. It just so happened they ran into Boyle county both times when Boyle county won five titles in a row. But Rocastle county went two years in a row. I remember Aaron Andrekin was their quarterback. They had Jason Leger who ended up playing at Kentucky. Brad Durham ended up playing at Kentucky. I mean, they produced some good football talent down here. But the one I remember is the best athlete I can remember. Sarah Hammonds. She was Ms. Basketball. She was Kentucky McDonald's all American. Not even Kentucky all American. She was McDonald's all American. And then she went on to play at Louisville. She was coaching at Cumberland's. Is she still coaching at Cumberland's Assistant coach or something? We got some Jackson county guys.

[Shannon the Dude]

One person says, no. One person says, I think she is.

[Ryan Lemond]

We don't know, but maybe we will know. But yeah, we. These three guys from Jackson county skipping class today at Cumberland. They're all three Cumberland students skipping class. They're gonna learn more here than they are. Oh, of course.

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah. Learn about you and yoga girl last night. Teach them about the birds and the bees here.

[Ryan Lemond]

You've already warned me once. I can't say it again.

[Super Mario]

You said it.

[Shannon the Dude]

Oh, yeah. We've already got too many of those.

[Ryan Lemond]

Too many of those.

[Shannon the Dude]

All right.

[Ryan Lemond]

859-280-2287. That's our Clark's Puppet Shop phone number if you want to call and get on board. We do. We mentioned we got the NFL tonight. The Bills and the. The. The Dolphins.

[Super Mario]

Miami Dolphins, baby.

[Ryan Lemond]

We got to make in our draftkings picks right now and kind of who do you. Who do you like tonight?

[Super Mario]

I'm going with the Bills. You know I'm going with the Bills.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, the Bills are loaded with Kentucky guys, right?

[Super Mario]

Guys, Man.

[Ryan Lemond]

Ray Davis, Maxwell Harrison, Dion Walker, all with the Buffalo Bills. So you're riding with the Bills tonight?

[Shannon the Dude]

We're going with the Bills. Okay. The bills are a 12 and a half point favorite. Does that change your mind? Are you going to take the point spread or you're just taking the bill straight up? Because you're not going to make much money on DraftKings with minus 900.

[Super Mario]

I'm not safe. I'm the safe leg. I'm the safe leg. So I'm. I'm keeping it up to you guys.

[Shannon the Dude]

Okay.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, it's at Buffalo.

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah, that makes a difference. I actually would take Buffalo in the 12 and a half. Yeah, I think they're going to smoke the Dolphins tonight.

[Ryan Lemond]

I think the Buffalo Bills maybe Win the super bowl this year. I think they're the best team.

[Shannon the Dude]

They, they are. I mean, I can see, I can see Bills and Packers in the Super Bowl.

[Super Mario]

I got the Ravens.

[Shannon the Dude]

I'm just going to go on record right now, Bills, Packers, Super Bowl.

[Ryan Lemond]

You know, if this game was in November, December, it's cold. Miami's got to come up from nice, warm Miami, go to Buffalo. But it's not, it's in September. Does Miami have a fighting chance at all just because it's not going to be one of those cold, Buffalo, snowy type games?

[Super Mario]

Yeah, I don't know. I'm going with the Bills, man. I'm confident with the Bills covering. Stick. Stick with my Kentucky guys. Yeah, cover it.

[Shannon the Dude]

There you go. There's your DraftKings pick of the day.

[Super Mario]

Ryan spaced out right now.

[Ryan Lemond]

Go out with Mario, ride with him. Because Shannon's pick is usually wrong. My pick is usually you and I.

[Shannon the Dude]

Equally had really bad picks on the KSR parlay, which by the way, we got to do a KSR parlay, I guess tomorrow and it's just going to be the three of us. Well, Jeff Por is going to do one.

[Super Mario]

Might be back.

[Ryan Lemond]

Drew might be back as well.

[Shannon the Dude]

Well, if Drew's not back before, we've.

[Ryan Lemond]

Got to win one while Matt's gone. If we, we can't hit one.

[Shannon the Dude]

Well, I mean, if you would stop picking bad picks, parlay.

[Ryan Lemond]

I had the good pick until the South Carolina quarterback got hurt.

[Shannon the Dude]

First week you had the one pick that didn't hit.

[Caller]

No.

[Ryan Lemond]

First week we all won KSR parlay.

[Shannon the Dude]

Okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Second week you had the one pick that didn't hit.

[Ryan Lemond]

Correct.

[Shannon the Dude]

You could have had back to back KSR parlay hit.

[Ryan Lemond]

Correct.

[Shannon the Dude]

But then, you know, you always, you always throw in a stinker. So we gotta fade your pick, pick all the other picks.

[Ryan Lemond]

Now. One more thing. We'll go to the break. 11 years ago we did a show in London and we had basketball tickets to give away. The winner of the basketball tickets, UK basketball tickets. 11 years ago was a three month old baby.

[Shannon the Dude]

How did she sign up?

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, she signed her name on the piece of paper, I guess.

[Shannon the Dude]

Pull her name out, baby.

[Ryan Lemond]

Three months old. Her name was Miles Mahaffey.

[Super Mario]

Okay.

[Ryan Lemond]

She just was one of the girls that walked behind us in the.

[Shannon the Dude]

She's 11 now.

[Ryan Lemond]

11 years old. One of the students that just walked behind us in the Apple Appalachian Hunt Project hunger walk.

[Super Mario]

So she grew up.

[Ryan Lemond]

She grew up. I think that's kind of cool. So I remember that I Remember this baby winning the tickets. Youngest person to ever win tickets here on ksr. We're trying to remember if you were even at that show. It was in London at a sporting goods store, Lowe's Sporting Goods.

[Shannon the Dude]

I don't remember that, but I can't. 11 years.

[Super Mario]

11 years. A long, long time.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Shannon the Dude]

We couldn't even remember going through Kearney, Nebraska, last year. So I doubt that I remember what.

[Ryan Lemond]

I remember about that show. We had to do the first segment on the phone because traffic once again in Mount Vernon was backed up. We got to the show late, so Matt had to do the first segment with Tony Vanetti. Matt was on the phone. Vanetti was in the studio back at Louisville.

[Shannon the Dude]

The good old early days of ksr. If those podcasts still exist, go back and listen to some of the shows. Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

All right. We'll take our break. We come back, we'll go to the phone lines. 859-280-2287. That's the Clark's Puppy Shop phone number. We're right back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.

21 + terms and conditions apply. All right. Welcome back Kentucky Sports Radio. Ryan, Shannon and Mario here live in Mount Vernon on Main street at Community Trust Bank. A proud supporter of the Christian Appalachian Project Hunger walk that they had earlier today. They had four walks across the state. They had one here in Rock Castle county. They had one McCurry County, Jackson county and one in Lexington today. So we're helping to get the word out. You go to ChristianApp.org if you want to contribute or help and learn more about the program. What they do. I do need to make a correction. I said Cindy McLaughlin had the American record now in the 400 and the 400 hurdles.

[Shannon the Dude]

Is that a world record? That's right. Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

She broke her own world record last night. So I know. Yeah. Give her a round of applause. That's just amazing.

[Super Mario]

She's incredible.

[Ryan Lemond]

Like I said, it's just she's, she's young. I mean, a lot of sprinters kind of get better when they get like their 30s, it seems like. So she's going to just get big. Better and better.

[Super Mario]

Not even in her prime yet.

[Ryan Lemond]

Not in her prime yet. All right, let's go back to the bowl. I was just going to ask one question, a segment, but you think we need to get to all the.

[Shannon the Dude]

No, it's up to you, man. It's your show. You tell me. I just feel like there's going to be a lot of unanswered questions if we don't get to everybody's.

[Ryan Lemond]

All right, Mario's next. All right, what's this question out of somebody from here in the audience?

[Super Mario]

How many losses for UK basketball this season?

[Shannon the Dude]

Oh, I like that one. That's a good one.

[Ryan Lemond]

How many losses for UK Basketball this season. That's good. You know, with their non conference schedule of Louisville, Michigan State, St. John's Gonzaga, Indiana and then. But the SEC may not be as strong as it was last year. So what do you. What are your thoughts, Mario? You're our basketball guy.

[Super Mario]

I'm say five, five losses. I got us beating Louisville, I got us beating North Carolina. I don't. Losses. I don't know if we'll be able to beat Gonzaga at. And that's a neutral site in Nashville. Yeah, I don't know about that. Like I said, I'm probably gonna go five. That's my, that's my lucky number.

[Ryan Lemond]

Five losses, Shannon.

[Shannon the Dude]

I'm gonna go six. I think they'll probably. First of all, let's go to the sec. There's always a game every year, doesn't matter how good they are, where they go on the road and they drop a game you don't expect.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. On a Tuesday night.

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

On the road.

[Shannon the Dude]

So I think they'll probably go into the SEC with two losses and I think they'll probably drop, you know, again, a loss that you don't expect them to get.

[Super Mario]

Who's your two losses, Shannon?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. Who's in two non conference.

[Shannon the Dude]

I mean, it could be any combination of these teams. I don't know exactly who I would have them lose to, but I mean there's a good non conference schedule that Mark Pope has put together. One of the best ones I think we've seen in a long time. And I think Gonzaga is going to be tough in Nashville.

[Super Mario]

They still have that, that big fella.

[Shannon the Dude]

And then, and then St. John's I think is going to be really tough too. And that's the game we're going to.

[Ryan Lemond]

St. John's game probably scares me the most out of the non conference game.

[Super Mario]

That's gonna be an exciting game though. Bryce Hopkins, he's gonna be playing against his former team, Rick Patino. That's gonna be a good one. I'm excited.

[Shannon the Dude]

So let's call IT Gonzaga and St. John's for non conference losses, losses. And then, I mean any combination of teams in the sec, I don't, I don't know exactly who they're going to lose to, but I think, I think six feels about right.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, the one SEC game that I feel like I'm gonna be wanting to win the most is at Arkansas.

[Shannon the Dude]

Oh, yeah. I mean, have to win.

[Ryan Lemond]

Caliper just beat you at Rough Arena. First year now you go into his house. But Arkansas is going to be really, really good. He got most of those guys back. Right. Carter Knox is back. Billy Richmond's back.

[Super Mario]

Good freshman too. Coming in.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. Right Boogie Flan left and went to Florida.

[Super Mario]

Florida. That's what I'm worried about. Yeah, Florida.

[Ryan Lemond]

I think Florida's gonna be good.

[Shannon the Dude]

Oh, we got Aberdeen though.

[Ryan Lemond]

So, yeah, Arkansas is going to be good. Alabama is not as good as they have been, but they're going to be good.

[Shannon the Dude]

Tennessee or Diabate. So we're just poaching guys off the best SEC teams.

[Ryan Lemond]

All right, let's pull another question out of the other bowl here from somebody in the audience. How bad was Wes Roberts at baseball? Kentucky Wesleyan College. I know who sent that one. That's his son right there, Jacob Roberts. Wes Roberts was one of my best friends in college. I was in his wedding. He was in my wedding. He was a great baseball player. Actually. He started four years. I mean, he walked as a freshman started. So you definitely got all your baseball skills from your mama.

[Shannon the Dude]

Here's the one thing people forget about Ryan. And you were talking about wanting to see Ryan run back in his day. Ryan was actually really fast.

[Super Mario]

Was he?

[Shannon the Dude]

He's the all time stolen base leader at Kentucky Wesleyan.

[Super Mario]

I can't see him being.

[Ryan Lemond]

I know.

[Super Mario]

I see the calves, though. His calf muscles are huge.

[Shannon the Dude]

You like his calf muscles?

[Super Mario]

Yeah, they are pretty big.

[Ryan Lemond]

But it's a record that will never be broken.

[Shannon the Dude]

You don't think it'll ever be broken?

[Ryan Lemond]

Never be broken.

[Shannon the Dude]

How many still invasives did. Are you talking about single season or just careers?

[Ryan Lemond]

I have stolen base in a game. Still bases in the season. Stone bases in a career.

[Shannon the Dude]

Give me the numbers because I know you have them in your head.

[Ryan Lemond]

Stone base of the game was five. That's pretty impressive against your Lindsay Wilson Raiders.

[Shannon the Dude]

Wow.

[Ryan Lemond]

Stolen base in the season, I think was 41.

[Shannon the Dude]

All right.

[Ryan Lemond]

And then a career thing. It's 106 because it's on my. My shoes.

[Shannon the Dude]

What do you mean you have it on your shoes?

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, my. My monarchs that your true blue customs guy made for me. I think he's got 100 Billy on there, so. All right, 859-280-2287. There is one topic that we do need to kind of discuss because it's like the number one news topic. This is not only not the show for it, but we have to at least acknowledge it.

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel off the air.

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

His entire show, not just him, his entire show got pulled off the air for comments he made about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Whether you agree with what he said, or not. That's not the debate.

[Super Mario]

Right, right.

[Ryan Lemond]

The debate that I want to have with you guys is should they have pulled him off the air? And if, like, if we say something like that, we can get pulled off the air. Matt got pulled off the air when he was thinking about running against Mitch McConnell. They called complain that, and our bosses pulled him off the air. It happens. They pulled the whole show off the.

[Super Mario]

Air and they're not coming back up indefinitely.

[Ryan Lemond]

I think that was. They suspended indefinitely. Sheesh.

[Super Mario]

What do you think?

[Shannon the Dude]

Well, I mean, it's a tough call for ABC because they've got to look at their advertisers and remember, like, when you're on a show, the advertisers are, you know, what you say is a reflection to what they believe a lot of times.

[Ryan Lemond]

Right.

[Shannon the Dude]

So if advertisers are wanting to pull out, pull their sponsorship, it's going to hurt the company of ABC overall. It's going to hurt the Jimmy Kimmel Show. And I don't even know what he said. I don't. I guess that'd be pretty egregious if, if, if they were willing to pull him off the air. So, I mean, it's a tough call. You know, you say you have freedom of speech, but you don't have freedom of speech when it comes to consequences. Right? There's going to be consequences, consequences for things that you say. So if ABC feels like it's the right call, then, I mean, who am I to say that ABC made the wrong call and pulling him off the air. I just don't know why we get to the point to where, regardless of what you think about somebody politically, you can't. I mean, we're talking about somebody who lost a life, right? A guy who was a husband, who was a father. And I don't think that's anything to joke about. So I don't know what he said, but obviously it was bad enough for ABC to pull him off the air. And I mean, you got to be held responsible for what you say, especially somebody that's on TV or radio or whatever it may be.

[Super Mario]

That's a very sensitive topic. But I don't know, like I said, I didn't, I didn't see it. I didn't see the. I heard it was something like a joke, like Jim. Jim made kind of like a joke, but I didn't see it. It's a sensitive topic. I do understand why they took him off. It's a business. At the end of the day, you got to protect Your business. But other than that, man, that's just. That's just kind of how it is. You got to be careful what you say.

[Shannon the Dude]

What do you think about it, Ryan?

[Ryan Lemond]

I. This, this is my thoughts about it. It is very sensitive topic.

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

If ABC wants to pull him off the air, I can totally see it. But the fact they pulled his whole show off the air, that's the guys behind the scenes, the camera guys, the producers, the directors.

[Shannon the Dude]

I understand that.

[Ryan Lemond]

Guys like my son that sets up lights and cables and microphones for people.

[Shannon the Dude]

Right.

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean, are those people now not gonna have a paycheck because of something that he said?

[Shannon the Dude]

I think the problem is with his name being associated with the show. Yeah, I think that has a lot to do with it as well.

[Ryan Lemond]

Do you think it's a situation where maybe some sponsors, advertisers, said, hey, we're.

[Shannon the Dude]

Pulling our money, probably so.

[Ryan Lemond]

And to save that income, they probably said, okay, we'll just pull him off the air. We'll just take him off the air. Don't pull your money away. I can kind of see that kind of happening behind the scenes, don't you?

[Shannon the Dude]

Oh, absolutely, yeah. I mean, if you say something on the air, again, reflection of your advertisers, if they're not. If they don't like what you say, they can pull their money. They have the right to do that. And if ABC is seeing that, then they've got to take action.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, again, we're not here to discuss right or wrong, what he said, because it's very sensitive topic. And it was awful what happened to Charlie.

[Shannon the Dude]

It's nothing to joke about.

[Ryan Lemond]

Nothing to joke about at all. So I thought the debate we could have today was whether it was the right decision by abc.

[Shannon the Dude]

I see what you're saying, because. Yeah, I mean, it also takes the job away from all the other people who had nothing to do with.

[Ryan Lemond]

A ton of people work on the Jimmy Kimmel Show. But behind the scenes.

[Shannon the Dude]

Right.

[Ryan Lemond]

What are those people now without a paycheck because of something that he said?

[Super Mario]

Yeah.

[Shannon the Dude]

You know, but I think, you know, you have to understand going into that job, that's what you're signing up for, you know?

[Super Mario]

Yeah.

[Shannon the Dude]

Again, he's a reflection of everybody else that works there.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's true. 859-280-2287. That's our Clark's Pumping Shop phone number. We mentioned that we were here in Mount Vernon years ago. It's Marcellus. Marcellus Farm to Fork Restaurant. And the county attorney that sponsored our show was just here a While ago, Jeremy Rowe. But apparently they got word out to Marcella's restaurant. Now they're bringing us lunch. I remember that show we did out there. It was a nice little kind of a country cooking place and they're gonna bring us lunch out here today.

[Shannon the Dude]

Well, that is very so nice of them. I very much appreciate that because I've got to hop in the car and drive right back to Louisville and go right to louder than life for the next starts tonight. Yeah, it starts today and it's four straight days and it is insanity out there.

[Super Mario]

Are you excited, Shannon?

[Shannon the Dude]

I am. Always look forward to it. One of my favorite weeks of the year. There's over 175 bands who will be there. It looks like the weather is going to cooperate with us this year. We got one year or one day that got rained out last year, so everything looks good and looking forward to it. I tried to get Ryan to come with me during the pre show. He wouldn't agree to do that because he's got to go to Nebraska to watch Dane Key.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm this weekend I am flying to Nebraska to watch Nebraska host Michigan on Saturday.

[Super Mario]

Wild game.

[Ryan Lemond]

Dane has had three games, three touchdowns. That's all I'm gonna say. All right, we'll take our break. Come back. This is Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. Ryan, Super Mario and Shannon the dude. We'll be right back. TJ Smith, personal injury attorney. Call tj.

[Shannon the Dude]

He'll make him pay. Now more of Kentucky sports radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

[Ryan Lemond]

All right, welcome back, Matt over in South Africa. So, oh, my goodness.

[Shannon the Dude]

You gotta be about to like.

[Super Mario]

Do not hit it. Don't hit it. Ryan le.

[Ryan Lemond]

They don't bother me.

[Shannon the Dude]

He's just trying to make some honey.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's why he was sniffing my armpit. Hey, stop paying for sunglasses. Are you tired of buying expensive sunglasses only to lose them, break them? Well, wait a minute. Yeah, she's probably to lose them, break them, break them or worse. You never even wear them because you don't want to get them dirty. Well, you need Shady Rays. Shady Rays is an independent American owned company started right here in Kentucky. Shady Rays has premium polarized shades for every activity. Running, fishing, biking, golfing, you name it. From their tangle free aviators that won't get stuck in your glowing hair. Shannon to the color rush lenses that provide ultimate color enhanced visibility. Every member of the family can find their perfect pair. Shady Rays offers the best protection program in the industry with lost and broken replacements so taking your next adventure with team that has your back, that is Shady Rays, 859-280-2287. Okay. Apparently the phone lines are loaded.

[Shannon the Dude]

Wonder why.

[Ryan Lemond]

Any indication of what happened on the aviation glass text machine? It's all about Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah, we'll go through the calls, but we're not here to debate what he said. That's. We can't. That there are other shows for that if you want to discuss about. Well, we'll just kind of have to play it by ear here. I'm afraid we're about to open up a box of worms.

[Shannon the Dude]

A box of worms that we may.

[Ryan Lemond]

Not get out of. Let's tiptoe in and get a call and see who we got. Box of worms, Jake and Hickory. Go ahead, Jake.

[Caller]

Hey, thank you, Liam, for taking my call.

[Ryan Lemond]

Go ahead, Jake.

[Caller]

Ryan. Ryan. Hey, Ryan, do you know if that game is going to be on tonight on wlap? Yes, yes.

[Ryan Lemond]

Check on that. Because I don't know if it's going to be carried on WLAP or not tonight.

[Shannon the Dude]

I know it's on espnu.

[Ryan Lemond]

Espnu, Jake, but we'll. We'll double check on that. All right. Just keep listening. We'll announce when we find out.

[Caller]

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay. Thank you, Jake. We appreciate it.

[Super Mario]

Appreciate the call.

[Ryan Lemond]

All right. We got through one call. That was a good one, Liam.

[Shannon the Dude]

I like how nervous when we get on topics that, you know.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, this is when we need Matt. This is when Matt is at his best in a situation like this. So who's next? Who's next?

[Shannon the Dude]

This is when you are at your birth. Your best.

[Ryan Lemond]

Go ahead, Liam, who's next? Robin Lawrenceburg. Robin Lawrenceburg, go ahead.

[Caller]

Yes, sir. Y' all keep talking about Mark Stoops leaving the program. One thing I have thought about. Can you do demote. Can Barnhart demote Stoops to a lesser place on the team, such as assistant. Assistant defensive coordinator. And if they was to do that, you know, Stoop's ego would force him to move on and you could hire another coach.

[Ryan Lemond]

Appreciate the phone call. Okay. Okay. Go ahead.

[Caller]

Okay, Go ahead, fellas.

[Ryan Lemond]

All right. Appreciate the phone call. Thank you. That's not going to happen. No.

[Shannon the Dude]

No.

[Ryan Lemond]

Dupes is not going to be demoted.

[Shannon the Dude]

The contract is to be. To be the head coach.

[Ryan Lemond]

To be the head coach. It has. That is not going to happen. And if they kind of falter this year, it's a serious conversation. I think they're going to have to have where the program heads from here. They have another Four win season, back to back, four win seasons. And the schedule is not getting easier next year. Yeah, I don't know. That's not going to happen. Matt has kind of already said, you know, the next coach is probably going to be John Summerall or Brad White. Those are the two leading candidates. If something happened right now, Stoops could turn it around. When a couple games still be here for several years, who knows how we're going to play out?

[Super Mario]

And that would be weird. Like, if he got demoted and he. He stole his hair, like, wouldn't that be weird?

[Shannon the Dude]

It's not gonna happen.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's never happened anywhere. It's not gonna happen.

[Super Mario]

I do have an update. I believe the UK versus Louisville volleyball game should be on UK Sports Network. So I'm guessing the wlap it should have.

[Ryan Lemond]

It should carry the game tonight.

[Super Mario]

Correct.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay, so just tune in tonight. If not, he can go online, I'm sure, and find it. All right, Shannon, pick out another question. The question is, got five or six more?

[Shannon the Dude]

Ryan, do you believe Jimmy Kimmel should have been fired?

[Ryan Lemond]

No, I'm just kidding. This is why. This is what I have to work with every day. That's why he's my boy.

[Shannon the Dude]

Now. Here it is. This is involving Charlie Kirk. Do you feel the text messages and Charlie Kirk's murder case are fake?

[Ryan Lemond]

Did you just make that up? Read it right there. I. I don't even know what they're talking about.

[Super Mario]

I don't even.

[Shannon the Dude]

Well, the text messages between Charlie Kirk and his roommate, I believe is what the question is.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay, there's some people saying that.

[Shannon the Dude]

They're the whole transcript. I mean, look, there's. There's people out there saying that everything's fake. There's probably people here that think you. You're fake. You know, I mean, well, with AI.

[Ryan Lemond]

Now, it's easy to fake all kind of stuff online.

[Shannon the Dude]

So I guess you don't want to go through and answer that question.

[Ryan Lemond]

I can't answer because I don't know.

[Shannon the Dude]

Let's try another one.

[Ryan Lemond]

All right.

[Shannon the Dude]

All right.

[Super Mario]

The next question better not be another one.

[Shannon the Dude]

Can I go to Louder Than Life with Shannon? Who asked that one?

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, there we go.

[Shannon the Dude]

Listen.

[Super Mario]

There you go.

[Ryan Lemond]

We're giving away tickets. We're giving away tickets at the end of the show.

[Shannon the Dude]

Here's the thing. How many people would actually go to Louder than Life?

[Caller]

That.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay, okay.

[Shannon the Dude]

I was gonna say just give them to him, but we've got a few other people.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, I have to win the. The honest contest.

[Super Mario]

All right, what's gonna Be the contest.

[Ryan Lemond]

I was ready. I can't tell you yet.

[Shannon the Dude]

I was ready to just give him Louder Than Life Fest tickets. You don't have tickets. Oh, okay.

[Ryan Lemond]

He's got the shirt on out of the live ticket.

[Shannon the Dude]

If we had three, we could just give them all three and just tell them to go.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, ask another question.

[Super Mario]

Cool.

[Ryan Lemond]

Out of the vlog.

[Shannon the Dude]

You don't want to go back to.

[Ryan Lemond]

The phone, Ryan, we're two for two. Maybe we should quit while we're ahead.

[Super Mario]

What? Who is your least favorite caller?

[Ryan Lemond]

Is that really the question? Who's your least favorite caller?

[Shannon the Dude]

And by the way, you said we would answer these questions. You said we would.

[Super Mario]

Yeah.

[Shannon the Dude]

Who's your least favorite car?

[Super Mario]

Say that, Ryan.

[Shannon the Dude]

Anybody calling about the Jimmy Kimmel thing right now?

[Ryan Lemond]

That's true. You know, I do like. I do like J Rock.

[Shannon the Dude]

No, no, no, no.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm going through my favorites to see.

[Shannon the Dude]

No, no.

[Ryan Lemond]

Who is my least favorite caller? The truth.

[Shannon the Dude]

You don't like the truth?

[Ryan Lemond]

Because he makes fun of me every time he calls. Calls me Brian Lemon and.

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah, easy one for me. We don't even take his calls anymore. But he used to call in as ac.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He hasn't called in. In forever.

[Shannon the Dude]

That's because I don't let him on the. On the show anymore.

[Super Mario]

Who's the caller that really talks fast on game days? He comes Otis.

[Ryan Lemond]

Otis.

[Shannon the Dude]

He's great now. I love Otis.

[Ryan Lemond]

Otis doesn't take a breath.

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

When he calls, he's a great caller. So I can't think about there anymore. We used to get. No.

[Super Mario]

Matt hates Bob and Jamestown. You know that.

[Shannon the Dude]

He doesn't hate Bob in Jamestown.

[Ryan Lemond]

I like. I like Bob and Jamestown. I like his calls.

[Shannon the Dude]

A lot of times I will say this. When Bob and Jamestown calls, we get more reaction on the text line and on social media. That's true. Than probably I would say any other caller.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, you know John Short calls the pre show. Yeah, he calls the pre game show.

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

He hasn't called us in forever, I think.

[Shannon the Dude]

I don't know. I mean, I think maybe the pre show is taking over John Short's favorite show.

[Ryan Lemond]

There's no doubt whose favorite show is. So don't forget, we got Thursday Night Football tonight at KS Bar and Grill.

[Super Mario]

Are you gonna be there?

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm gonna be there. We got some more. We got some stuff to give away to be kind of a fun little night. We had a good crowd last Thursday night. Great crowd, actually was kind of.

[Super Mario]

You were giving happy birthday shout outs.

[Ryan Lemond]

If it's your birthday party. Bring them on. You know, we'll give you a little birthday shout out and have a little shot with you. So coming out. Let's try one more call. I think we're one more call for go to break. So who we got, Liam? Bill? Bill, Go ahead, Bill.

[Shannon the Dude]

Oh, Bill's definitely calling about Kimmel.

[Ryan Lemond]

Bill, are you there?

[Super Mario]

Appreciate the call.

[Ryan Lemond]

All right, Bill, we'll take another one. Liam, who we got?

[Caller]

Noah.

[Ryan Lemond]

Noah, go ahead, Noah.

[Caller]

Hey, Ryan. I gotta say, I love you guys, but why you guys got a name? Drop me like you did yesterday.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, this is Noah. Dollar Wing Noah and thought he could buy 10 wings for a dollar. No, it's a dollar a wing, Noah.

[Shannon the Dude]

I thought Matt already out at Noah.

[Caller]

Yeah, I lost part of my dignity yesterday or I lost part of my duty when it happened. But you know, they keep on making fun of me. That's just.

[Shannon the Dude]

Well, Ryan's just piling on at this point. I agree with you, Noah. He should keep your name out of his mouth and stop talking about the fact that you thought that you could get 10 wings for a dollar.

[Super Mario]

I was.

[Caller]

Yeah, I will say. I would say either that or if you're gonna use my name, then give me a night where I do get to have 10 wings.

[Super Mario]

Nice try.

[Ryan Lemond]

Good try. So appreciate it. Thanks for calling. No one was at our remote. We had out there at Clark's puppet Shop. Did the touchdown dance for a $25 gift card.

[Shannon the Dude]

That's right.

[Ryan Lemond]

We.

[Shannon the Dude]

We found out people will lose their clothing just card.

[Ryan Lemond]

So.

[Shannon the Dude]

Right.

[Ryan Lemond]

All right, we'll take our last break, come back. Our last segment. Give away a couple tickets.

[Super Mario]

Still got a few questions in there.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, this? Look, Marcellus just brought us lunch. Marcellus. How about that? We'll take a break, come back. One more segment to go. This is Kentucky Sports Radio.

[Ryan Lemond]

We talked about our made our draft Kings pick for the Bell Bills and Dolphins tonight. Big game tomorrow night, Rock Castle county hosting Madison Southern right here at the Rock, their new stadium. Who you picking in your that the big Draft Kings pick of the night for tomorrow night.

[Shannon the Dude]

Rock Castle. Let's go.

[Ryan Lemond]

Of course you're going Rock Castle County.

[Super Mario]

You have to.

[Ryan Lemond]

You got to play to the home field. But they got a new stadium. They have a big rock. Like it's a monster rock. It's like, do they have a chain on it? A meteor? Yeah, they did have a chain on it.

[Shannon the Dude]

Sure. That rock doesn't roll away, but do.

[Ryan Lemond]

The guys still come out and touch it when they come out of the locker room? Everybody has to touch that rock. So. All right, we have three questions left from our viewers here. My turn. All right, we'll try to get all three of these before we get out of here. Here's the next one. Favorite athlete all time.

[Super Mario]

Oh, that's a good question.

[Shannon the Dude]

Oh, man. And it's yeah, I was thinking about his more recent things that have happened to him. Probably not the greatest name to list, but for me it's Brett Favre. Just growing up, being a Packers fan.

[Ryan Lemond]

Being a Packers fan.

[Shannon the Dude]

Watching him, he was an most unorthodox quarterback I've ever seen, but like a tough time, gritty guy that led the packers to a Super Bowl. A guy that I've obviously, even though I didn't play football, grew up loving to watch the way he played the game. So for me, it's Brett Favre.

[Super Mario]

Mario, I'm gonna say LeBron James. That's pretty much. No, not Bronnie.

[Ryan Lemond]

LeBron.

[Super Mario]

LeBron. The senior LeBron James. Yeah. Grew up watching him. It's kind of, you know, big basketball guy. Got to watch him do his thing.

[Ryan Lemond]

My favorite athlete growing up was Lou Brock, Cardinal outfielder. Speedsters had the stolen base record. I was going to be the next Lou Brock. If you ask me, my favorite athlete. I mean, I got to pick probably Dante Key and Freddie Maggard.

[Shannon the Dude]

Oh, really?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Shannon the Dude]

Because your buddies with them, of course.

[Ryan Lemond]

By the way, I just talked to Freddie the other day he's doing fine. People ask all the time, how's Freddie doing? He's doing fine. You know, he's got some issues he's still dealing with, but he's. He's doing fine. Here's the thing. It's kind of crazy. It's like he has detached himself from football. He's like, man, I just don't watch it anymore. Really? Yeah. Doesn't even watch the game, Even watch the games anymore. So he loves football, but he knows people. People kind of reach out, talk to him and when everybody know he's. He's doing great, he says since he's love and he appreciate everybody's asking about him.

[Shannon the Dude]

Before we go to the next question here, you know you brought up the Cardinals. Your Cardinals lost last night to the Reds. And the Reds are just hanging on by a thread. They are still in the race. Only two games back with 10 to go. And I'm just saying your Cardinals may be contributing to the Reds getting into the playoffs, if they actually do.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, the Reds actually won the series with the Cardinals, although Cardinals won the season series this last series.

[Shannon the Dude]

I'm just saying right now though, your Cardinals aren't, you know, if you're trying to keep the Reds out of the playoffs, they didn't do a very good job.

[Ryan Lemond]

They sure didn't. So I think the other Reds are too bad. Cardinals like four, four and a half back now. So. Yeah, I wasn't happy. My dad was definitely not happy. Pull out the one more.

[Shannon the Dude]

All right. Most crazy Ryan Lemon story.

[Super Mario]

It's a good question.

[Shannon the Dude]

Most crazy Ryan Lemon story we told.

[Ryan Lemond]

About me dropping them my sausage McMuffin in my lap this morning.

[Shannon the Dude]

Not a crazy story.

[Ryan Lemond]

Said about my speeding ticket I got yesterday.

[Super Mario]

That is nothing compared to you said.

[Ryan Lemond]

I almost killed you and we were driving in Cincinnati.

[Super Mario]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean, that pretty much covers everything.

[Shannon the Dude]

Well, I mean, there I wasn't there. But I feel like the time you almost got shot in a rooster Roosters parking lot.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's true.

[Shannon the Dude]

Had a lot to do with it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Matt actually saved the day. Matt was Mr. Calm and Cool that day.

[Super Mario]

Was he?

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. Because this guy.

[Super Mario]

You almost got hit.

[Ryan Lemond]

We were in a parking lot. Well, to get into the parking lot, I kind of cut him off. I realized there's the rooster's room. I was wheeled in. I kind of cut him off. He decides to pull in behind me and gun his car like he's gonna run me down in the rooster's parking lot. So when he went by me, I smacked his car.

[Super Mario]

You did not I did.

[Ryan Lemond]

He was flying by me, and I smacked his car, and he went by. So he slammed on the brakes, stopped, pulled a gun out, and I heard click, click. He goes, that's a good way to get shot around here, boy.

[Super Mario]

Then what did you do?

[Ryan Lemond]

And then I hear Matt, out of nowhere, this man, Ryan, you go inside. My man.

[Shannon the Dude]

My man.

[Ryan Lemond]

So he actually defused the situation? Matt did. I got to give him credit for that one.

[Super Mario]

He's good at that.

[Shannon the Dude]

I would say that's probably the craziest Ryan Lemon story I could think of.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Shannon the Dude]

Is there another one?

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, there's the day you and I and Sarah and yoga girl were sitting on a swing in Panama City Beach.

[Shannon the Dude]

Oh, no, no.

[Ryan Lemond]

Screaming and hollering and waking people up in the hotel behind us.

[Shannon the Dude]

That's not that crazy.

[Super Mario]

Yeah, screaming and hollering.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, it got pretty loud. Pretty loud there. Yeah. There's some we don't need to talk about here. Pull out the last question.

[Super Mario]

Okay. Let's see what we got here. What should Mario do for his birthday? I hate this question. Whoever hit this, what should Mario do for his birthday? Tomorrow?

[Shannon the Dude]

You should come to work, and you're gonna show with us.

[Ryan Lemond]

You're gonna start at Wild Eggs. Do the show at Wild Eggs in the morning for your birthday.

[Super Mario]

Yeah. And then the rest of the day, I'm gonna work, and then after that, I don't know what I'll do. I'll have to figure that out.

[Ryan Lemond]

It came at a perfect time for you because Kentucky's off this weekend. You've got a whole weekend to do your birthday celebration.

[Super Mario]

I do like to travel. I don't know. I would go to Chicago because I've been there, you know, a few times. But I know a lot's going on in Chicago right now, so. I don't know, man. I'm still thinking about it, even though it's tomorrow.

[Ryan Lemond]

Are you going? But you're staying in Kentucky? You going back to Florida?

[Super Mario]

No, I'm not going back. I'm saying you're staying in Kentucky. Yeah.

[Shannon the Dude]

Well, sounds like a fun birthday.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah.

[Super Mario]

Maybe you can join me.

[Shannon the Dude]

I'm gonna be a louder than life. I can't. I try to get you to join me out there. You didn't want to come out there.

[Super Mario]

I've seen the videos you showed me this morning, and I think I'm gonna pass them.

[Shannon the Dude]

I mean, come on.

[Super Mario]

Really not my kind of thing.

[Shannon the Dude]

Perfectly out there.

[Ryan Lemond]

Big change is coming to high school basketball in Kentucky. Yeah, in two years.

[Super Mario]

About time.

[Ryan Lemond]

Kentucky's gonna Put in a shot clock for high school basketball.

[Super Mario]

About time.

[Ryan Lemond]

Obviously, the game has evolved. College game has evolved. The NBA is evolved. The high school game has evolved.

[Super Mario]

Are we like the. One of the last states to do it? I know California has it.

[Ryan Lemond]

I really don't know. I don't know how many states actually have a shot clock, but Kentucky and starting with the 27, 28 season. So two seasons from now will put in the shot clock. Your thoughts?

[Super Mario]

I love it. Team can't just hold the ball now. A lot of the high school teams just like to hold the ball when they're playing. I think it's going to be more entertaining for the. From the fans perspective when you go to high school games. And they'll make the player better, you know, having a shot clock. Because when you go to the next level, it's going to be a shot clock there in college and NBA is even a shorter shot clock if you get there. So I'm a fan of it.

[Shannon the Dude]

According to Google, 19 states and Washington, D.C. it says do not have a high school shot clock.

[Ryan Lemond]

So most states do have it.

[Super Mario]

Yeah, most states do have it.

[Shannon the Dude]

I mean, yeah, it's something that we mentioned this on the pre show. It feels like, how do we not have shot clocks? Then we talked about how much it actually costs to buy a shot clock. Then you got to have run somebody run the shot clock. But yeah, I mean, and now if you're, you know, down by 10 points in the fourth quarter, it doesn't feel like you're down by 50 because the team can just hold the ball and run the clock out. So I think it's a good thing. You know, again, though, it just comes down to do schools have the funding to be able to buy those and. And employ somebody to do that and have a volunteer, I guess.

[Ryan Lemond]

Right.

[Shannon the Dude]

To run the shot clock. I could see that being something that Ryan Lemon would like.

[Ryan Lemond]

I would like it to show up.

[Shannon the Dude]

At somebody's high school and just run the shot clock.

[Ryan Lemond]

I've kept the score book. Kept the board.

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah, the scoreboard.

[Ryan Lemond]

I've done a lot, you know, over the years when Josiah's playing.

[Shannon the Dude]

Right.

[Super Mario]

PA announcer Penn Anouncer.

[Ryan Lemond]

I love doing it, but like we talked about on the pre show, these. These shot clocks aren't cheap. So you get a school like Rock Castle county here, you got to get one for your high school.

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

Maybe you got to get an auxiliary gym. Maybe you got to get one for your middle school gym.

[Shannon the Dude]

I think the number I saw was like 2900.

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean, that adds up for some schools who tight budget begin with anyway. Yeah. But I think it's the right thing. One thing I did think was interesting that they did this survey among athletic directors in Kentucky, Mario, and 60% voted against it. They didn't want it.

[Super Mario]

Was it the funding?

[Ryan Lemond]

Maybe. Maybe the funding of it. And like I said, you got to get. It's hard enough to find somebody to run the board, the announcing the be, get your officials. Now you get somebody to run the shot clock. So I don't know but 60% said no. Yet they decided to go ahead and put it in place.

[Shannon the Dude]

Look, I mean at some point they've got to evolve and put shot clocks in. So at this point, whether or not they voted it for it, it doesn't matter.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's coming.

[Shannon the Dude]

They're going to implement it regardless.

[Ryan Lemond]

Like I think the college game is going to go to quarters probably pretty soon. You know, only division of basketball that plays has.

[Shannon the Dude]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

So why not play quarters? All right. Well, we got one more sponsor. All right.
