Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. UK Basketball Coaching Search: The Inside Story

• Discussion: The hosts revisit the tumultuous coaching search that eventually landed Mark Pope as UK basketball coach.
• Matt Jones clarifies: He was correct that Baylor’s coach received an offer but turned it down. University leadership vetoed other high-profile candidates like Oats and Bruce Pearl due to political concerns. In the end, Mark Pope was the “fifth, sixth, maybe seventh choice,” but is seen as the right fit in hindsight.
  • Quote (Matt, 05:11): "You know, Mark Pope was the right coach at the right time."
  • Drew Franklin (04:28): "I even compared it to ordering chicken tenders at a steakhouse when they hired him... in hindsight, we all look like a bunch of idiots because it was a great first year."
• Notable parallel: The messy Calipari breakup is compared to a possible similar trajectory for the football program.

2. UK Football: State of the Program & Coaching Future

• Hosts highlight: Disappointment in recent one-score games; conversation about Mark Stoops’ future and possible successors.
  • Stats (Ryan, 23:51): “In Power 4 one score games since Will Levis’s second year, we are 3 and 8, with none of those wins at home.”
  • Discussion: The shift from previously excelling in one-score SEC games (9-4 from 2015-2021) to a downturn is seen as a crucial problem.
• Next coach?: Brad White and Jon Sumrall are mentioned as likely candidates. Concerns rise over Sumrall becoming too “hot” and being poached by bigger programs.
• Caller (John, 20:02): Jokes about pooping on Mitch Barnhart’s car if Brad White is chosen.
  • Ryan, 20:54 (on coaching odds): "If you told me right now... I'd probably make Brad White the betting favorite with John Sumrall second. In eight weeks it might look completely different.”
  • Drew Franklin (22:03): Warns Sumrall could get “too hot for Kentucky,” with bigger programs possibly opening up.
• Names floated: Jon Gruden and Will Stein (Oregon OC with Kentucky roots) discussed as potential names.

3. Locker Room & Fan Culture: The "Karen Ball Snatcher" Saga

• Incident recap: A viral MLB moment where a woman dubbed “Karen Ball Snatcher” took a ball meant for a child; discussion centers on fan etiquette and online pile-ons.
  • Matt Jones (12:49): "I am calling her Karen Ball Snatcher from hell. Yeah, take that."
  • Ryan responds (12:58): “That’s a little much.”
• Debate: Is it justified for the internet to pile on her? Consensus: Make jokes, but don't try to ruin lives.
  • Matt (13:55): "Don’t try to ruin her life. It was a foul ball.”

4. Game Day Atmosphere: The Role of Students & Music

• Caller Jay (14:21): Argues that UK shouldn’t play 'My Old Kentucky Home' except during the Louisville game because rival fans use it to troll.
• Students’ impact: "The fans go as the students go," hosts agree, pointing to university practices that fail to engage the student section adequately.
• Music picks: Discussion about energized versus outdated music; Rick suggests classics, but the hosts joke that newer, unfamiliar songs are what really get the younger crowd moving.
  • Drew (42:51): "Chances are some of the songs we need to play I haven't even heard of. That's the point—I'm old now."
• Tradition suggestions: Callers float ideas like a horse leading the team onto the field, but doubts about execution linger.
• Funny asides: Imagining a Wildcat mascot falling off a horse and the potential for clownish disasters.

5. Gambling Woes & DraftKings Features

• Ryan (17:39): Talks “betting against his own teams” for profit, winning when both lost heartbreakingly.
• Parlay innovations: “Ghost leg” lets you miss a leg and still win (19:18), sparking curiosity and banter among hosts.

6. The Hemp Industry & Politics

• Matt (25:58): Explains how Kentucky’s hemp industry, once championed by Mitch McConnell, now faces regulatory threats spurred by the bourbon industry’s complaints over sales competition.
  • Quote: “To flip now is part of... the most egregious nature of the way Mitch McConnell's done politics for 40 years.”

7. Matt’s Upcoming South Africa Trip

• Hosts share travel anxieties and packing tips:
  • Ryan (27:23): “A lot of people suggested the same company [for boots]... It said don't wear boots that are too heavy because you don't need them.”
  • Comical worries: Matt jokes about being slowest on safari (“if I’m the slowest person with the 10 women I’m with, I’m in trouble” 27:47).
  • Big Five animal quiz: Laughter over which are included—lions, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, maybe tigers.
  • Matt’s biggest fear: “Fifteen hours in a plane, that's gonna be brutal... not nervous about the cities, but being on the reserve just because nature and I have never been one.” (30:42)
  • Snorkeling avoidance scheme: “How do I get out of the snorkeling without looking like a wimp?” (31:27)

I'm gonna come to your house and make you. Make you read me a lullaby before.

[Shannon Dawson]

And say, mitch, please, Mitch, please.

[Drew Franklin]

Please let me get some sleep.

[Ryan Lemond]

Please let me get some sleep. Sleep with the full spectrum flower Only Hemp CD CBD 859-280-2287 One person says, Matt, your opinion on new coaches isn't very good for basketball. You swore up and down it would be the Baylor coach. And we saw how. No, excuse me. We seen how that worked out. Just to make sure I have the grammar that you wrote. We've seen how it worked out. Well, I was right. We did offer the Baylor coach. He turned it down. But who got the offer? The Baylor coach. That was it. The thing that surprised I. The surprising part to me was we knew they were going to go after. We knew they were going to go after Hurley. Excuse me, Hurley and Drew. They did. They didn't get either one of them. I thought the next two candidates would be Oats and Pearl, which I think they were. What we didn't know is that the university president and trustees said no to. To Oats and Pearl. I think if it had been up to Mitch, he would have offered Oats. I think Oats would have ended up not taking it for some personal reasons. So I think the next coach would have probably been Bruce Pearl. But then the university sort of put a veto on that, considering he. Now he's trying to figure out if he runs for Senate. And you want to talk about, you know, people think I don't stick to sports. If Bruce Pearl had been the coach here. I don't know if people follow him right now. Yeah, like, he's the. He's more political than I've ever seen a coach be in terms of. And he's thinking about running for Senate. So I don't know how that would have ended up working out. But then Pope ended up being the next choice. I think it ended up working out for the best. But it was. I mean, I. It's certainly fair to say we had gotten down to fifth, sixth, seventh choice by the time we got the hired Drew.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, I made a list on the website when they were searching, and I had Pope ranked 10th. I don't run away from that. I even compared it to ordering chicken tenders at a steakhouse when they hired him. I think as we've Said many times the whole fan base needed a little sleep to get behind it. But is what is, in hindsight, we all look like a bunch of idiots because it was a great first year and I had a blast watching every minute.

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean, we got turned down a lot. Let's be real. I mean, the. The top tier was. Was Hurley, Drew and Donovan, and they got no's from all of them. And then the next tier was probably six coaches of which Mark Pope was one. And the university scrapped four of them. And they were basically left with a Mark Pope and Shaka Smart. And thank goodness they took Mark Pope. But that was kind of, you know, the list kind of opened up there for him.

[Matt Jones]

You know, Mark Pope was the right coach at the right time.

[Ryan Lemond]

I agree.

[Matt Jones]

If we're going to be honest, John Caliperi was the right coach at the right time.

[Ryan Lemond]

I agree.

[Matt Jones]

That relationship kind of soured and we ended up having an ugly breakup. Maybe just me, but I kind of feel like that's where we're headed for football. I feel like it's going to be having. We're going to have an ugly breakup. And I don't. I'm not ready for it.

[Ryan Lemond]

One of these days there'll be a post game show where if things don't improve. Shannon. I'll do the parallels. Yeah. Because there are a lot of parallels. But my hope is then we turn around.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

My hope is that the way I felt like January of cows last year when we were starting to roll and Reeves was playing well and Shepard and Dillian Hammer coming on, I was like, oh, wait a minute, we might turn this around. That's what I hope ends up. Ends up happening here. I want to play you something, Drew.

[Drew Franklin]

I'd love to hear it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Arch Manning, you know, he was. He was. All preseason, everything has struggled a little bit. Some people have said that they think he might be injured. And as. As the reason they've said that, they've said his throwing motion normally used to throw like this over the top. Now he's going on the side a little bit. So, like, they're wondering if his shoulders hurt. And then they also talk about how after some passes he has grimaces on his face. Like, you're in pain, like that hurts. And so there have been some people speculating with those grimaces on his face, he must be in pain. So they asked Steve Sarkeesian at his press conference yesterday, hey, is it possible Arch is hurt? We've been seeing his facial expressions. And here was Sarkeesian's odd answer. Go ahead.

[Drew Franklin]

Arch Manning seemed to be having some throwing pains by the.

[Ryan Lemond]

According to who?

[Matt Jones]

Arch. Arch said that to you?

[Ryan Lemond]

No.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, according to who?

[Drew Franklin]

It just looked like he was.

[Ryan Lemond]

He doesn't have any. Is that.

[Drew Franklin]

Is there an explanation to why he was. It looked like that?

[Ryan Lemond]

I don't know. I've never.

[Matt Jones]

I've never filmed any of you guys when you're using the bathroom, so I don't know what faces you make when you're doing that.

[Ryan Lemond]

All right, So I don't know what that means. Exactly. I've never filmed you while you're using the bathroom, so I don't know what faces you make. Odd analogy. I don't know what that has to do with Arch grimacing when he throws. I don't know what going to the bathroom and throwing a football is like.

[Shannon Dawson]

Shannon, I'm reaching here, but is it maybe like the strain face? Because if you're.

[Ryan Lemond]

No, that's clearly what he means.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, like what your face looks like when you strain.

[Ryan Lemond]

But I would say, again, I'm sorry to the women here. I'm apologizing before I do this to the two of you. And I. I'm sorry, but we just. I just want to explain. There might be times when you use the bathroom that you are streaming. Yep. But then that would mean Arch is straining, too, so I don't understand what he meant. Drew, do you.

[Drew Franklin]

I took it as Arch literally has to go to the bathroom when he's throwing the ball and he's holding in. That was the correlation I made. He's alluding to. I'm not going to tell you. Arch really had to use the bathroom on those throws, but I don't look at your face when you have to go. So let's not judge Arch's face when he has to go.

[Ryan Lemond]

All right. What about you? How did you read it?

[Matt Jones]

You sure you want me to answer?

[Ryan Lemond]

No, I don't. 8, 5, 9, 2 ao. For people who don't know. We. We. We had a conversation on. On Friday, me and Drew. We had what we would call a bodily function intervention with Ryan.

[Drew Franklin]

We all sit in a room when he walks.

[Ryan Lemond]

It wasn't true. It was me and Mario. It was on the way, the Reds game. We were like, you know what? Less ref. Because Mario. Mario knows we need more consistency. He's been saying it since Seattle. Saying it since. Yeah. So we were like, we just need less of that. So you're right. This isn't a good topic.

[Matt Jones]

True. I have a word I can't say for a month.

[Shannon Dawson]

We need more F. So poor Arch.

[Drew Franklin]

That two weeks ago, he's the greatest thing to ever hold a football. Two weeks later, this is the discussion around him. What a fall from.

[Ryan Lemond]

We didn't get to talk about it. It was last Friday, so it's been a while. But we didn't get to talk, Shannon, about the Phillies woman.

[Shannon Dawson]

Oh, the Phillies. Karen. The Philly Karen Ball Snatcher, they're calling her.

[Ryan Lemond]

They're calling her Karen Ball Snatcher.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yes, that's her name.

[Ryan Lemond]

I love that name. Karen Ball Snatch is good name. Although my mom is very angry that Karen has become a name that people. That people don't like. So for people who didn't see a dad sees a. A home run or a foul ball, he runs toward it, which makes him go into where this woman is standing. There's a little like, go for it. He gets the ball. The woman doesn't. He runs back to his son. It looks like. And like, here, son, I got you a ball. And the son's like, yay. And the crowd's like, yay. And the woman mad because he ran all the way over there and comes and is yelling at her. He's yelling at the father.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yes.

[Ryan Lemond]

Like, you took my ball. And finally the dad is like a scaredy cat. Yeah. And he takes the ball from his son and hands it back to the mom or hands it back to the woman, and the woman walks away. People on TV are criticizing. It Turns out the Phillies see it, they invite the kid down. They give him a bat and a ball and all as well. But the Internet gets very mad at Karen Ball Snatcher. Shannon, clearly the woman was in the wrong. How wrong was she?

[Shannon Dawson]

Ms. Ball Snatcher should have stayed right there where she was because the guy got the ball to give it to his kid. And what world do you think that it's okay as an adult to go up and try to take a ball from a kid at a baseball game? She had no rights to the ball.

[Ryan Lemond]

It was just there. Do you agree with the premise? Let's say the kid wasn't involved. The dude did run over and get it in front of her from, like, five or six seats over.

[Shannon Dawson]

She should have been quicker.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay.

[Shannon Dawson]

Gotta be quicker than that.

[Ryan Lemond]

You're okay with that?

[Shannon Dawson]

That's right.

[Ryan Lemond]

What about you?

[Drew Franklin]

Okay, that's a 50. 50 ball. That's anybody's ball. What, even her row? It was the row in front of her. How many rows does she get to claim? You bought one ticket? If it lands in your seat, sure. Pick it up. No, Wasn't her row. That's a 50. 50 ball. He hustled, he got it. And especially when he hugged his kid and gave him that little squeeze after.

[Ryan Lemond]

He gave him the ball. She should have known.

[Drew Franklin]

All right, I'm backing off this one more thing.

[Shannon Dawson]

His reaction when Karen grabbed his arm that he like.

[Drew Franklin]

Yeah, that was a bit much.

[Ryan Lemond]

I was like that.

[Shannon Dawson]

This seems like a fake video. His reaction seemed fake. If you saw that, he really sold the. Who acts like that when you get touched?

[Ryan Lemond]

He sold like Ric Flair. I mean, he. He.

[Shannon Dawson]

He flopped.

[Ryan Lemond]

He flopped. I have to tell you, man, like, there was a little bit of manliness that was lost in that moment. Okay? Now here's the thing. She's in the wrong. It's. It's her fault. Do you think she deserves to be piled on like she's being piled on. On the Internet? Because it. Yo, you do think. Yes.

[Caller]

Wow.

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean, this is. Okay, she. We can all agree she made a mistake in the moment.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

But do we give her no break at all?

[Shannon Dawson]

I think she gets like.

[Ryan Lemond]

This is a harsh world we have right now.

[Shannon Dawson]

I think she gets like 24 hours. Then you let it go.

[Ryan Lemond]

Because it's. To me, it's not the same as the cheating couple at the cold plate. Right. This is like she made a mistake. She kind of looked like a Karen, too, though.

[Drew Franklin]

She had a hair in uniform.

[Ryan Lemond]

She had the hate, like, the, the black streak in her hair and she just. What did you think?

[Caller]

Right?

[Matt Jones]

You know, we've all seen foul balls go on the stands, and it's like bees to honey, man. No matter where you are, you all go to it. He ended up with the ball that's just got the right bounce, gave it to his kid. That's the issue.

[Ryan Lemond]

He.

[Matt Jones]

She took that ball away from a kid.

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean, she claimed. I saw an interview where she claimed she didn't see the kid. Okay.

[Matt Jones]

Almost cussed right there. That is total bull. She saw. She saw exactly what was going on. She didn't have a kid there at the game. She took the ball away from a little kid.

[Ryan Lemond]

Her childless cat lady.

[Matt Jones]

I am calling her Karen. Ball snatcher from hell. Yeah, take that.

[Ryan Lemond]

Whoa. All right, hang on, hang on. That's. It's a little. It's a little much.

[Matt Jones]

If that was me and she expected me to take that ball out of little 10 year old Josiah's hand, we might have. We might have had been throwing Cokes on each other. I'd been so mad.

[Ryan Lemond]

We'd have thrown Cokes on each other.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah, it would make you in the wrong man.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. Then I think it would have flipped and you would have been the wrong guy.

[Matt Jones]

Stay away from your kid. Get away from my kid.

[Ryan Lemond]

She didn't touch the kid.

[Matt Jones]

I know, but she took. Made. Made dad take the ball away from the game.

[Ryan Lemond]

Dad caved quickly out.

[Matt Jones]

Don't do it. Get away.

[Ryan Lemond]

I will say she's in the wrong, but dad caved too quick. What was dad doing give caving so quick?

[Shannon Dawson]

I don't know.

[Matt Jones]

I think he was scared of her. She was came after him.

[Drew Franklin]

I wouldn't have given another ball.

[Ryan Lemond]

No, no.

[Matt Jones]

I would never given her that ball.

[Drew Franklin]

On the Internet reaction though. I. I kind of hate how people are like, let's find where they work. Like meet the hell out of them. Make fun of the haircut. Have a field day on the Internet. But people shouldn't lose their source of income. Like the people are like, what's her address? No, that.

[Ryan Lemond]

We don't need to do that. That's what I want to. I don't like that. No, I don't like.

[Drew Franklin]

Get your jokes off.

[Ryan Lemond]

Make jokes. Karen. Ball snatcher. But then like, don't try to ruin her life. It was a foul ball. Who's next? Jay is next. Jay. Go ahead, Jay.

[Caller]

His Starkesian been hanging out with Ryan. I mean, that's a total.

[Ryan Lemond]

That is a very Ryan thing.

[Matt Jones]

I really want to talk about this, Jay, but I'm not able to.

[Ryan Lemond]

He's not allowed.

[Caller]

Hey, guys. Well, you know I'm out there every week and shout out section 22. I have a laundry list of complaints with the fan experience. But look, there's two things that have to change and Shannon already hit on one of them. Matt, we cannot play my old Kentucky home. And I'm the biggest fan of that song. The only game we can play it is the Louisville game. But other fan bases are going to know it bothers us and we're going to be dealing with it every week if we keep playing.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's true. That's true. That's a good point. Now that they know it gets to us. You're right.

[Caller]

The second thing, the fans go as the students go and that's who they need to appeal to. The university and I could talk about this all day. Does all these stupid things that don't keep the students engaged during games. And I'll tell you just a simple one. They're more likely to show some little kid on the screen than reward those kids that stood in line all day to get on the jumbotron they have fraternity events and sorority organized events and this attendance will be down this week just because of that.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's a great point. Great point. I appreciate the call. I think that's true in rupture. As the students go, the fans go. A lot of the times you got to make it fun for the students and they make it. I mean I, I have seen complaints on on TikTok. They make it hard for the students to even go sometimes, much less to have a good atmosphere. It goes as the students go. I totally agree with that. That Jay is exactly right. If you've been slipping, if, if sleep has been slipping through your fingers, then how about cornbread hemp?

I bet them both to lose in a Moneyline party. Wow. Because I knew they were going to break my heart. They both lost. I was able to feel a little bit better and ended up walking away with a decent little chunk of change to take with me to South Africa because I knew they were both going to lose. And then they both lost. Reds in a heartbreaking fashion. The Bears in a slowly debilitating fashion, which is the way they like to do it. And yeah, nice job. I was very excited. I was very excited after first drive for the Bears.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

Right down the field. Ben Johnson. 85 bears are there. And it looks like we ain't here to feathers ruffle. We're just here to do the super bowl shuffle. And then it just stunk after that.

[Matt Jones]

They got up. I thought, there's no way they're going to lose this game when they're honoring the 85 bears. And somehow they found a way to just stink it up in the second half.

[Ryan Lemond]

They were awful. And then, I mean, the Reds actually had a chance to get back in it last night. They could have cut it to three. And then now they've lost and it's over.

[Drew Franklin]

Previewing the Bears Bears game yesterday, I said, look out for luther burden. Negative 3 yards receiving. Not only did he not go forward.

[Ryan Lemond]

He actually had work at the bank that day.

[Matt Jones]

He had to work Luther Deaton.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay, same thing. But he had to work at the bank during the day. It was hard for him to go play play that night. J.J. mcCarthy looked.

[Shannon Dawson]

Did I like on DraftKings. Now they've added this ghost leg. Have you. Have you used that yet? So basically, let's say you pick five legs on a parlay and one of them doesn't hit, your parlay still wins. So you could hit four out of five and still.

[Ryan Lemond]

But you win less money.

[Shannon Dawson]

No, I think amount. Same amount.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, it's the same amount.

[Shannon Dawson]

Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

You just.

[Shannon Dawson]

You basically get one mulligan.

[Ryan Lemond]

So do we win?

[Drew Franklin]

Well, if you did ghost leg. You did.

[Shannon Dawson]

If you did ghost.

[Drew Franklin]

You ghost legged our chaos. You have to hit the promote it to turn it into a ghost.

[Ryan Lemond]

Right? Wow.

[Drew Franklin]

Some KSR listeners might have done that though.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, well, Good. Well, just from now on, ghost leg rides 859-280-2287. Who's up next? John is next. John. Go ahead, John.

[Caller]

So I was wondering, for the buyout, UK now reclassified as an llc, could they use a business loan to be able to get that?

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, yeah, they could, but I mean do you want to have a business loan for $37 million? I mean, I guess maybe they do, I don't know. But yes, that. But the money is due under stoops contract which other people who know more about it than me say they have never seen a contract written like this. All the money is due six weeks after he would be dismissed.

[Caller]

Yeah, I mean ideally you wouldn't want to have a loan for it, but like what else are you going to do? Also, if Mitch Barnhart picks Brad White, I would personally poop on his car until he uninspired pick I've ever heard in my life.

[Ryan Lemond]

I appreciate the call. Wow. I would personally. He said that man said he would personally poop on it.

[Shannon Dawson]

We'll see his face.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, I'm with you on that. Like again, things might change if everything collapses, then that's a different situation. But if you told me right now, like if I were in Vegas and you were to say Vegas odds of who the next UK football coach is right now, I think I'd probably make Brad White the betting favorite with John Somer all second. And a lot of people will not like that and I may not either. But I'm just telling you what I think would be the case. Now in eight weeks it might look completely different. Right. There might be a lot of things happen in these next eight weeks, but I'm just. Would, would you agree with that?

[Matt Jones]

I think so. But John Sumnerall Sumrall plays Ole Miss this weekend. What if he goes down and beats Ole Miss? Does he then become the leading candidate? And if not at Kentucky, somebody's going to come after and get that guy.

[Drew Franklin]

I think he could get too hot for Kentucky.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's what I worry.

[Drew Franklin]

I mean he's on the Alabama betting odds right now.

[Ryan Lemond]

If he's like if they go 12 and oh and make the playoff. Yeah. I mean then it's like you've waited so long, you know, your, your, your husband got hot enough for, for a neck for somebody else. I mean like that's kind of what you're looking for.

[Drew Franklin]

There could be Auburn open, Florida open. There could be several jobs.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. Think about Florida. Florida. I mean as we root for Florida, if we root for Florida And Alabama's failure. If they, if those jobs come open, we are significantly less attractive than those. If they do come open.

[Shannon Dawson]

Do you think that there's any chance that Gruden would end up at an SEC school?

[Ryan Lemond]

Why would you want him? I mean, I, like, I mean, I mean, look, would Gruden.

[Shannon Dawson]

I would like him.

[Ryan Lemond]

But why you see it like he.

[Shannon Dawson]

Was successful in the NFL. I think he's a great coach.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, so was Belichick. I mean, I, I'm not. Listen, if Kentucky had a chance to get Gruden and it's like Gruden or Brad White, sure, roll the dice. Right. Like I'm. But, but the idea that Gruden is this amazing. I mean Belichick has showed you that like if you've never been in college just to all of a sudden show up. I mean, it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to work. That might work. Yeah.

[Shannon Dawson]

But like I would take my chances with Gruden personally.

[Ryan Lemond]

Here's what I would say. If you're Kentucky football and we finish three and nine, you might want to do it just for the excitement.

[Matt Jones]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

You know, just, just to get fans like into it.

[Drew Franklin]

Who's the caller earlier wanted offensive coach. Watch Will Stein, Oregon's offensive coordinator. He played at Louisville, but he's got Kentucky roots, still went to Trinity. He would happily wear the blue if that were to come open.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's a very good point and he.

[Drew Franklin]

Is a hot name right now.

[Ryan Lemond]

That is a really good point. Who's next? Ford is next. Ford. Go ahead, Ford.

[Caller]

Hey y', all, I, I was thinking about Chester's comment yesterday and I went and looked it up. In Power 4 games. Power 4, one score game. Since will EV second year, we are 3 and 8 with none of those wins coming at home. If you want to keep those people in the stands in the fourth quarter of a one score game, just win. Give them, I mean prove them otherwise.

[Ryan Lemond]

Mark Story yesterday did the numbers on that and I appreciate the call. One score sec. From 2015 to 2021, Mark Stoops was 9 and 4 and since 2021 we're 3 and 8 and stories point is that's the difference right there. Even if you know nothing else about what's going on. We used to win the one score games, now we lose the one score games. Do you think that's as good an explanation as any?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, and it doesn't make sense. I mean, I always go back to that Georgia game. He had a chance to beat Georgia on your home field. You know, fourth and short, and instead of going for it, you punt the football. If somehow they had won that game, maybe things had totally turned and flipped around for this program, but they didn't. And that mindset has kind of carried on now since then.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. And that mindset is also why it still doesn't feel like he has a philosophy. Because I think, I think what he did against Ole Miss, even though I think going for it was right on those fourth quarter plays, I think he went for it Drew and didn't even want to go for it because he was like, if I don't go for it, everybody's going to criticize me. So he just went for it, even though he doesn't want to go for it.

[Drew Franklin]

And he keeps saying, I make gut decisions. And that can be good. You need to rely on your gut. But if it's just always your gut, we're paying you a lot of money for what is essentially a gamble. If you're just going with your gut and don't have a true philosophy that you practice and stick with.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, sometimes your gut may just have an infection when it comes to, you know, some people, sometimes you get rot gut. Some, some people are gluten intolerant no matter what. And you might need to look at other things besides your gut because it's just not going to be able to process the information. 859-280-2287. Text machine, 772-774-5254. We'll take a break. Be right back. KSR. Welcome back. Techy Sports Radio. 859-280-2267 here at Cornbread Hemp with our good friends Jim Higdon, Eric Zipperly. Let me I, we talked a little bit about the, the fight going on in Washington and that's why they brought us here. But just on a personal level, there's a lot of people, I, I've become more libertarian as I've gotten older about especially these kind of issues when it comes to, I mean, we're here for hemp, but I feel this way, honestly about marijuana, too, even though hemp's different. But like this, this stuff helps a lot of people. And the reality is Mitch McConnell is a big reason why the hemp industry in Kentucky grew. He really backed it early on, the first 15 years. It was, I think, one of the things he did that I thought, really I wrote a book about all the things I thought Mitch didn't do for Kentucky. This was something he actually did do for Kentucky. And, and now because the bourbon industry and I respect the bourbon industry, but because they're whining about it, because their sales have gone down for a variety of reasons. Now he's just completely flipping his position. And a lot of people in this state have started to rely on hemp farms. They've used their land for it. Obviously, Jim and his group here with Cornbread Hemp. But they're not the only company that does it in Kentucky. To flip now is part of the most the egregious nature of the way Mitch McConnell's done politics for 40 years. But the rest of the politicians in Kentucky have a chance to stop it. They both. Both sides know that it needs to happen. So I hope they'll do it. And then there are people like me who, for whom if it becomes illegal, that has a negative effect on their health. And that's. So I hope that the folks in Washington, especially the ones from Kentucky that help lead this fight. Either way will get to some will get to a good decision here in the next coming months because they're going to be deciding over the next couple of months. One person writes, Matt going to South Africa. What did you decide on? Boots?

[Matt Jones]

Yeah, what did you decide on boots?

[Ryan Lemond]

I had a lot of suggestions about boots. Yeah, this. I think a lot of people suggested the same company and it has like a store in New York where I'm gonna be starting tonight. So I'm gonna probably get boots there. I looked on the thing, it said don't wear two boots that are too heavy because you don't need them because.

[Shannon Dawson]

You gotta run from those lions.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's exactly right. It's all anybody ever says to me. Just don't be the slowest person.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

Although if I'm the slowest person with the 10 women I'm with, then I'm in trouble to begin with because I have no other skills. But I am looking forward to it. Packing. I. I'm already packed because I have to leave from here and go to the airport. I'm already packed and ready to go and we'll see how it ends up going. I'll be on the show tomorrow and Thursday from New York. I will not be on Friday and then I won't be on until October 3rd. I'll be back on a Friday for remote. So I'll be gone. Three weeks of shows. These guys are going to have a host of guests, including Friday. What's the name of the volleyball player that's coming to Brooklyn? Delay.

[Drew Franklin]

The star of the star of the.

[Ryan Lemond]

UK volleyball team is going to be live with these guys. Brooklyn Delay on Friday, but I'm going. I'm going to be here tomorrow and Thursday, But I'm going to miss you guys. Well, I won't see you till October, Will.

[Matt Jones]

We will miss you also, but the public demands to know what. Did you get your safari pants?

[Ryan Lemond]

I just said. Did I not? Lead off. Oh, I said this to the shoes. Yeah, they're sitting at my house right now. Apparently they got delivered.

[Matt Jones]

Apparently.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, I'm hoping they are. I ordered them. They're supposed to get. They got it says they got delivered this morning.

[Shannon Dawson]

So you're going home before you go to the airport, Just.

[Ryan Lemond]

Well, I'm not flying out of Louisville, so I'm going to get my pants, you know, Got to get your pants.

[Shannon Dawson]

That's important.

[Ryan Lemond]

Then go to the airport and. And fly off to South Africa. There's no direct. So that's why I'm going to New York. Nothing. Not Louisville. To Johannesburg.

[Drew Franklin]

Got your safari hat and your knife.

[Ryan Lemond]

I do not have a knife. I don't know. First of all, do they even let anyone. You take knives, right?

[Drew Franklin]

Check back. Yeah, well, you take your machete, you.

[Shannon Dawson]

Can get out there.

[Ryan Lemond]

I don't own a knife, so that's a problem. Okay.

[Drew Franklin]

Buy one off the street in South Africa. You'll find a good.

[Ryan Lemond]

I'm sure they encourage street purchases in South Africa of all kinds, but it should be. Should be fun. I'm looking forward to. You get lions. You got. You got. You got giraffes, rhinos. They call them the big five. There's like five things that you hope to see so that you get all.

[Shannon Dawson]

The five, you name all of them. Lions, rhinos, tigers.

[Ryan Lemond]

It's lions, rhinos, tigers, giraffes, and something. I can't remember what.

[Shannon Dawson]

Hippopotamus.

[Ryan Lemond]

No, it's an elephant, so maybe it's six. Well, one of them, I. One of them I mentioned is not on there because. Because he's right. Elephant and a hippo.

[Matt Jones]

And the one dude said, just stay away from the hyenas. That's, I guess, the bad one.

[Ryan Lemond]

You don't want to be.

[Shannon Dawson]

Come out at night.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna stay away from everything. Yeah.

[Drew Franklin]

Matt's gonna be running to the hyenas.

[Ryan Lemond]

So my fellowship is the first six days. So I'll be in Cape Town, like, doing nerd stuff. Then. Then I go out, and that's when I start snorkeling and climbing the mountains.

[Shannon Dawson]

Can't wait to see it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Seeing the penguins. And then we go to Krueger and I stay, like, on the reserve. Like, they give you, like, a hut, you know, because I. I'm. That's my kind of thing. Oh, yeah. And then you're gonna cook up some hut food. Yeah. I've got a whole plan of. Of how I'm going to use the earth to make my. My food. And then Johannesburg is the last couple days.

[Drew Franklin]

What is your biggest worry about that? Like, specific, like an animal or the climbing?

[Ryan Lemond]

We're going to talk about the three things I'm looking forward to the least. The flight. Number one is the flight. Fifteen hours in a plane. I splurged and bought business class, and it was. That's why we're doing so many remotes. It was expensive, but. But 15 hours in a plane, that's gonna be brutal. But then I'm. I'm not nervous about, you know, everybody gets nervous about being in these cities. I'm not nervous about, like, you just, you know, you can't live life being scared of where you go. Right. I am a little nervous about being on the reserve just because nature and I have never been one.

[Shannon Dawson]

You were built for this.

[Ryan Lemond]

But. And then I don't want to go in the water. So I'm trying to figure out how do I get out of the snorkel? Yeah.

[Shannon Dawson]

How you get a snorkel without.

[Ryan Lemond]

How do I get out of the snorkeling without looking like a wimp?

[Shannon Dawson]

You can land snorkel.

[Ryan Lemond]

And I think I'm going to accidentally schedule our NFL Cover Zero podcast during the snorkel.

[Shannon Dawson]

Accidentally, or you come down with, you know, a sickness?

[Ryan Lemond]

I think the NFL Cover Zero, unfortunately, Drew just. I couldn't do it any other time except during the snorkeling, so I might have to apologize to them for that.

[Drew Franklin]

I could kind of COVID on my end while you snorkel. We could get a snorkel review from the boat. Do it all by phone.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. But I do think, like, I'll probably call, like, I'm not going off the grid like I did for Europe, so I might call the show on a day or two and just check in. And then obviously, Drew and I are going to have to do the NFL podcast from wherever I am, so. Should be fun.

[Shannon Dawson]

I hope somebody is there to document these different activities that you're doing, because I'd like to see some video of you, you know, on the reserve, maybe.

[Matt Jones]

Climbing a mountain, rappelling down a mountain.

[Ryan Lemond]

I've done. I've repelled before.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Shannon Dawson]

Like, that's got to climb it. First, though, right?

[Ryan Lemond]

Or no, you walk up a trail, and then you repel. You repel down. But, like, listen, the scariest thing I've ever done was when Drew and I jumped out of a plane. So if you jump out of a plane, then you can. You can go down.

[Drew Franklin]

I was there to hold your hand for that, though. I'm not going to be there to help you in South Africa.

[Matt Jones]

You got 10 ladies to hold your hand in South Africa.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's okay. Enough gym is for. For one time, but I'm looking forward to it. And hopefully. Hopefully I'll come back with good stories. Who's next? Adam is next. Adam. Go ahead, Adam.

[Caller]

Hey, what's up, guys? Previous callers pretty much took my points on in game atmosphere. You know, crank up the music. Let it be geared towards students. If you want to go read a book during the game, go to the library or Reds game.

[Ryan Lemond]

You know, Exactly. I was about to say don't skip the Reds game. I enjoy that.

[Caller]

Hey, it's interesting. You're on. On three. Daniel Hager. Actually, just retweet this. I wanted to get your opinion. What about doing away with AP ballots? Because, you know, there's the story. This Haley Sawyer, she's a sports reporter for usc T. You know, she puts out her ballot, and she has Florida moving up two spots and leaves South Florida unranked. Who just beat them in the swamp.

[Ryan Lemond]

She's made a mistake.

[Caller]

But she goes on a video and says it probably doesn't matter in the end. Well, then you shouldn't be doing it. We shouldn't have so many, you know, voters.

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean, look, my argument is this. The AP top 25 poll is. Has existed for 100 years. It really doesn't matter. I mean, she's right. Like, people were harassing that woman for no reason. Like, she made a mistake. Okay? I mean, and look, I've done it before, and you point out which writer it was, and. And in hindsight, like, who care? I mean, okay, who cares? It's a way to argue. I mean, like we do on this show. The top 10. Whatever. People don't lose their minds. Well, sometimes they do, but they shouldn't lose their minds. It's just something to talk about. I think it's. I could understand the anger back when the AP poll decided Drew who the champion was, but now it's just for conversation. So if. If Haley Parker messed up, then. If she messes up again, don't have her do it. But my guess is she'll get it right next time. And you move on. Right?

[Caller]

Yeah, you're totally right about not being angry and harassing her. Like, don't you know that that's totally out of bounds? I was just talking about. For conversation. Like, do we even need them?

[Ryan Lemond]

We don't need it, but we do. Do we need. I mean, do we need this show? Like, there's a lot of things we don't need, but we still have. I. I appreciate the show.

[Matt Jones]

I really need this show. God bless this show.

[Ryan Lemond]

I mean, I meant theoretically, do we need this show? But it's just.

[Drew Franklin]

I know one person be mad if I came home without this show anymore.

[Ryan Lemond]

All right, never mind.

[Drew Franklin]

I'll say one more thing about the polls. Breaking news, the coaches poll. The coaches don't actually vote. That's what underneath them. That's the sids. All these polls don't really matter. And in the ap, I feel like in basketball season, this happened like three times last season alone where a guy was like, oh, crap. I didn't even. I just filled it out. It's just. It is what it is, and I.

[Ryan Lemond]

Can'T act holier than thou. There was a time I would be on the blog, I would find the person that didn't rank Kentucky high enough, and I'd be looking like, go, look at this idiot. But, like, as you. As I got older, I don't know that. Look at this idiot. Like, it just. It happens. She won't do it again. I can tell you that. After. Clearly, after that video, she's not gonna do it again. Who's next? Derek is next. Derek. Go ahead, Derek.

[Caller]

Hey, man.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yes, go ahead.

[Caller]

I'm calling from the Middlesboro Fire Department.

[Ryan Lemond]

Oh, give a shout out. Middlesbrough Fire Department. Drea says hello, but what's going on?

[Caller]

I got a suggestion for the football program. The. For like a tradition to pump the crowd up. All right, so starts off a Grove street. And then the music dies down and there's a. A horse gate. Not Churchill down. And then the. Yes bell rings and the. And then a. A horse with the. With the wild cat on it with the Kentucky flag goes down, does a lap with the. With the team behind them and.

[Ryan Lemond]

Love it all that. I love it. We talked that the other day. Firemen make good suggestions. I appreciate the call. I love that, Ryan, don't you? You like the idea of a horse coming out. I mean, apparently Murray State does it. So we can do it, too. We'll steal off our younger brother.

[Matt Jones]

I love the idea. They could probably get the. The writer to put the mascot suit on just for that reason, right around the field with the flag. Let the guys run out, get everybody hyped and excited before kickoff. I think anything like that'll help. Might as well try it.

[Ryan Lemond]

Might as well. What's the harm?

[Drew Franklin]

I like this idea and several others. I have zero faith with execution. When we can't even play a song or check Twitter at the game, how in the world are we going to successfully pull that off? But I like the idea.

[Ryan Lemond]

Maybe the horse gets scared. Yep. Takes a dump in the middle of the field. That'll be funny. Like, like it'll be. There's always. You never know. Maybe. What? Something exciting will happen.

[Shannon Dawson]

Wildcat falls off the horse.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. As long as it's okay. That's funny. Like there's, you know, a lot of stuff going on.

[Shannon Dawson]

We don't want it to be a clown show. I mean, the football team has already.

[Ryan Lemond]

Looked like a clown.

[Matt Jones]

Oh, last year.

[Shannon Dawson]

We don't need that.

[Drew Franklin]

No, it looked like a clown show the first half last week.

[Ryan Lemond]

Hey teachers, if you are one or you know one, the Kentucky Skin Cancer center wants to say thank you and they're going to give you $50 off a glow to facial. How about that?

Very nice of teachers.

[Ryan Lemond]

We had a facial.

[Matt Jones]

It was awesome.

[Ryan Lemond]

Very nice. We will take a break and come back for our final segment here in Lebanon at cornbread hemp.

[Ryan Lemond]

Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. That's why Rick is. If Shannon can't do it, give me Rick on the Ox chord. So we get a little. What is this? Brian Setzer Orchestra?

[Shannon Dawson]

No, the Mighty Mighty Boss Tones.

[Ryan Lemond]

Cherry popping. Daddy's one of those. That's Rick. You like the SCA music? Is that your thing? No, I like all kinds of music. Like what? Rick, if you were on the Ox chord at the. At the UK football game, what would be like three songs you'd use to get the crowd going? Oh, let's see. Probably Celebration by Cool on the Gang. That's okay. There you go. Celebrate. What else would you do? Probably Won't Get Fooled Again by the who. Okay, I think that would be. I don't know that. I don't know that song. How does that go? I'll have to look it up for you because I'm a lousy singer. Okay. All right then. What would be your third one? Probably one that goes way back to the early 70s. Three Dog. That's what we're looking for. Three Dog night and celebrate. Okay, all right.

[Drew Franklin]

Big celebration.

[Shannon Dawson]

Not much to celebrate.

[Ryan Lemond]

Anything. Anything since 1995? Oh, geez, I'd have to research that. Okay, well, maybe we shouldn't.

[Drew Franklin]

Do you know any NBA young boy?

[Ryan Lemond]

No, he's more of a. He's always been a. More of a WNBA young boy. 280-2287. Who's next? Terry is next. Terry. Go ahead, Terry.

[Caller]

You guys segwayed right into my call. In terms of the atmosphere, I'm gonna have a little different take. I don't have a problem with the atmosphere because I don't pay that much attention to it. I'm there for the game, to strategize, to coach. I'm coaching on the sidelines. What. What play am I going to call next?

[Ryan Lemond]

All.

[Caller]

The only thing that disturbs me about the game experience is the guy with the neon sign with the 250 and the 350 in the four minutes. The TV timeouts kill me, but I.

[Ryan Lemond]

Will say I appreciate that. Hang on, I'll let you finish. I appreciate that, but you just have to recognize you're in the minority like I. You've been a great caller for many years and you appreciate what we do. On here. But when we. When I like, program ksr and I hope you know what I mean by this, I can't program it for Terry. Like, Terry would listen to a two hour show where we talk about the base defense we ran and how it needed to go to this. And you know, this receiver would be better than this one. But I would not be able to get a crowd of people to come to Lebanon. If I. If I program for Terry, it's going to be really good for a handful of people, but it's not going to be the show it is. UK football can't program for Terry. It has to program for the regular person who's coming, who maybe isn't as Die Hard a fan. I think you understand that.

[Caller]

Yes, but in terms of where you're asking Rick about the songs, I have two for you back in that era that I'll put up against any rap song there is.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay.

[Caller]

Doobie, Doobie Brothers, China Grove and Blue Oyster Cult. Don't Fear the Reaper.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. No, I mean, again, like, I love you all, but this is like, you guys must be on the board of trustees making this decision. We've got to. Chances are some of the songs we need to play Drew I haven't even heard of. Right? That's like, I know it's working if I don't know the song, because that's the point. I'm old now. I shouldn't know all these songs.

[Drew Franklin]

One of the better moments in the game last week was they went to Little Boozy's catalog and I thought that got the crowd going. I'm gonna assume Terry, Rick, probably not a lot of Little Boozy, that they.

[Ryan Lemond]

Would play his dad, but that was.

[Drew Franklin]

One of the better moments.

[Ryan Lemond]

Dad Boozy, I liked Lil Boozy is not for Me. And so they were wiping down in.

[Drew Franklin]

That moment, but it got the crowd going.

[Ryan Lemond]

I need to wipe down who after Standing out in the Sun. Who's next? Jake is next. Jake, Go ahead, Jake.

[Caller]

Yes. Matthew, how are you doing this morning? All right. How. How do you feel about playing the Toddler Children's during the. During the. For as long as you play after the.

[Ryan Lemond]

Play the right one.

[Caller]

After the. Yeah, but after the. After the game, the. The guys, Tom and Jeff were talking and they come back from the break and they're playing Tyler Kilters. And they didn't play it during the game.

[Ryan Lemond]

Yeah. Well, I appreciate the call. I'm for it. Play White House Road. You just can't play like Follow you to Virgin. Right. Like you got to play Something that'll get the. Get the crowd amped up. I feel like they would get up and play like universal sound or something. Like they got your love in your love. That's exactly right. Who's next? Kentucky Joe is next. Oh, no. All right, fires up. Joe. Speaking of getting me excited to go to South Africa. Kentucky Joe, go ahead.

[Caller]

You want me to do a song?

[Drew Franklin]

Hell yeah.

[Ryan Lemond]

Hang on, hang on, hang on just a second. I need to know the topic. It's going to be the topic. I don't want the topic to be South Africa. If the topic is Kentucky is Kentucky football, I'll let you do what.

[Caller]

Okay, I gotta tell you all something. In my heart, I left Cutter Bowley. He should start.

[Ryan Lemond]

Again.

[Caller]

Throw that bomb so well. I saw him last year when he did it. Throw it. Throw it. Cutter bowling color bully is my quarterback. I'll tell.

[Ryan Lemond]

There you go. Perfect wedding. We're sitting. We're sitting there. That's good. Joe. We're sitting here talking about music. Shannon. There it is.

[Shannon Dawson]

I'm ready to go watch a football game after that.

[Ryan Lemond]

That's where you run out. And then Cutter bowling appears dry. And that's how you get a team ready to play.

[Matt Jones]

Cutter Bowley's my quarterback.

[Ryan Lemond]

Okay, yeah, that's fine. I'd actually rather hear Joe. Thank you folks very much here at Cornbread Hemp in Lebanon. We appreciate it. Thank you guys for coming out.
