1. Community & Local Personalities <a name="community"></a>

• Local Pride in Mount Washington:
  The hosts acknowledge notable people from the area, like Cody Ash (“Jelly Roll’s drummer”), and riff about how they may have undersold the fame of Mount Washington natives.

2. Kentucky Football – SEC Prospects <a name="football"></a>

Major theme (03:54–07:58):
The panel analyzes UK’s bleak football forecast, focusing on the team’s recent struggles, especially scoring and upcoming SEC opponents.

• Text Machine Feedback:
  Most fans are frustrated, expecting only four wins.
• Debate – Will Kentucky Win Another SEC Game?
  • Florida is cited as the team’s best shot at a victory, but there's skepticism about other games (Vandy, Tennessee, Auburn, Georgia).
  • Vandy’s strength surprises some, and the consensus is that UK's offense is sputtering.

“Other than blind optimism, there’s nothing whatsoever that says UK football will win another SEC game this year.” — Shannon (04:24)

• Red Flags:
  • Kentucky’s offense under Bush Hamden has not scored over two touchdowns in 10 SEC games.
  • Over-reliance on defense; can’t keep up if opposing teams hit 21+ points.
• Stats:
  • “First drive against South Carolina looked so good […] And then what? Ended up in 10 points. It went completely flat.” — Ryan (07:31)
  • Kicker remains perfect, but turnovers prove devastating.

  • Both confess to family traditions centered on the restaurant, with Drew’s stories including his dad nearly choking on a tortilla chip!
• Nostalgic Uncertainty:
  Reluctance to revisit for fear it won’t match the memory:
  • “Part of me wants some things to just stay dead. And I just hang on to the memory because I don’t want it to come back and ruin all that.” — Drew (10:28)

Comic segment featuring Billy’s contrarian opinions (15:48–20:44):

• Billy’s Unpopular Opinions:

  • Billy hates the new ESPN celebrity dog, Peter (Kirk Herbstreit’s golden retriever), earning mockery as “Mini Matt Jones.”
  • Justifies his stance: “I’m so tired of this dog. Kirk Herbstreit called the dog the Taylor Swift of college football. And I am just here to say that is not the case.” — Billy (17:28)
  • Also accused of hating kids for not letting them call into the post-game show.

[E]

All right, welcome back. It is our number two Kentucky Sports Radio. We're live in Mount Washington from the Man Cave. Give us a call and give us a text on Ryan's A Vision Text machine, which he actually remembered today. 502-735-3680.

[D]

I got a good one. I got to tell you.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

You were mentioning people from Mount Washington. Jelly Rolls, Drummer, Cody Ash, according to the text.

[E]

That's right.

[D]

Grew up in Mount Washington.

[E]

Yep. I feel like I sold Mount Washington a little bit short. I couldn't remember all the. The famous people that we had here. Yeah. And we had at least two or three, so that's good. Any other things on the. On the A vision glass text machine. I feel like, you know, if you're gonna bring it, we at least need to acknowledge what's on it.

[D]

Most of it is bashing our football coach.

[F]

Read them out.

[E]

Let's hear him.

[F]

I mean, the text or the text?

[D]

Us UK gets four wins this year. It's very sad. This is what I was looking for. Did Shannon end up having hoes in his man cave?

[E]

I have hoes out in the shed. I keep. They keep the hose in the garden.

[D]

What are we talking about?

[F]

They're not allowed in the main house.

[E]

We're talking about hoes for the garden.

[F]

Yeah. Those pumpkins don't hoe themselves.

[E]

That's right. Yeah. You know that other than blind optimism.

[D]

There is nothing whatsoever that says UK football will win another SEC game this year.

[E]

Well, okay, let's talk about that for just a minute before we go to Drew. Who's going to tell us who? The segment sponsored by Does Kentucky get another win in the SEC this year? Is Tennessee Tech going to be the only one?

[F]

I really think they can beat Florida. I predicted it before the year. Florida is even much worse than I expected. The question Is when you get to that game in the middle of November, are you still together? Yeah, because at that point I don't think they're going to beat Georgia, Texas, Tennessee or at Auburn. So it's a matter of can you hold it together after probably four more consecutive losses? If you can, I think you can get Florida. Vandy. I had them beating Vandy at Van V. I'm retracting that if I'm pulling out the eraser on my preseason prediction. I thought Vandy would come down a little bit with Pavia getting a little bit of a second year slump, teams figuring them out. I don't think Kentucky can score the points. So Florida's my one that I'll still say they get it but I worry about just keeping the team intact to get to that game.

[E]

Ryan, what do you think?

[D]

I really thought going in you had to win one of those road trips at South Carolina, at Auburn, at Vanderbilt. Already lost South Carolina. I'm with Drew. Vanderbilt is much better than I thought. Auburn also I think much better than I thought. I don't know if they can win any of those road games now. So I thought you had to steal a couple at home. Ole Miss or Florida. Well you didn't get Ole Miss so now I'm down to the Florida game. Can you get Florida? That might be their only chance to win an SEC game.

[E]

See, I still don't believe in Vanderbilt yet. I know they're 5 and 0. Well, I know but you got to look at who they played. They're five and oh yes, they're 16th I think in the country right now. But they got all their non conference games out of the way early. So like as Kentucky still has Tennessee Tech later on, they've already played all their non conference games. So three of those wins are non conference wins over like Utah State, Charleston Southern, Virginia Tech. So those are your three wins non conference. They beat South Carolina.

[D]

Yes, at South Carolina.

[E]

But I still don't believe that they're. I think they're good but I don't think that they're unbeatable for Kentucky. So I still feel like Kentucky can win that game, the Florida game you mentioned. I feel like they can get that one. Outside of that I don't know with.

[F]

Vandy I just worry. And same with Tennessee and these teams that can score points like if, if any of them get to 21, that's it man. And I just feel like it's over. Yeah, I mean the stat that drives me crazy is that Kentucky with Bush, Hamden 10 SEC games. They have not scored more than two touchdowns in 10 games. If you cannot score more than two touchdowns, it is very hard to win any football. And I know you rely on your defense in your run game, but if a team gets 24 points, I feel.

[E]

Like we're out of it.

[F]

The Tennessee's and the Vandy's, even if you're slowing them down, I just don't know, like the contrasting styles. I think Kentucky's doesn't have much of a shot in those games.

[E]

Sadly, you're just not going to win many games in the sec can step.

[F]

Up and start scoring.

[E]

You're not going to win many games in the SEC in the teens. And I feel like that's kind of where Kentucky's offense just tops out at, you know, 17, maybe 20.

[D]

Their first drive against South Carolina looks so good. They marched right down the field, punched in a touchdown.

[E]

And then what happened from their second drive?

[D]

At least they got a field goal right. But then that answer your question, what happened after those first two drives? Ended up in 10 points. When it went completely flat to the.

[F]

Kicker though, he's been perfect.

[E]

Yeah. And it felt like, you know, once they turned over the ball a couple of times that was just so demoralizing, they just couldn't recover from that.

[F]

Yeah, once you're from behind, you're not built to do that. Yeah, you're built to go up 7.

[E]

Oh yeah.

[F]

And just hang on and play defense. But with those two defensive scores, you know, even though it was only 21 to 10, you're starting to have to throw a little more. I mean South Carolina, when they have like three second half points, you know, it's not like it turned into a blowout, but Kentucky is just incapable of scoring right now.

[E]

Alright Drew, tell us who this segment is sponsored by.

[E]

I'm wearing my Chi Chi shirt today.

[D]

I noticed that I got at the.

[E]

Kentucky State Fair and I'm wearing that because the news just came out that the first Chi Chi's will be reopening in Minnesota, October 6th. Which I believe. Which I believe is next Monday.

[D]

It is, that's right.

[E]

So I'm just wondering, road trip. Can we maybe do a road trip to. To Minnesota? What do you think? You guys in? No, I know I'm the enthusiast here.

[F]

I already thought about this. If Matt. You know, I don't know if Matt would be in for it. Even though he loves a good road trip. If he were gone another week, I was going to suggest that we get in the car and just take this. So the GG's.

[E]

So I am legitimately excited about this. The only thing though, I wonder in the back of my mind is, is it as good as I remember?

[F]

Yeah.

[E]

Because, you know, when things come back, you have the nostalgia that you have in your mind of thinking that it was the greatest place on earth. Love Chi Cheese. My dad, who's sitting right here, used to take us every Friday night to Chi Chi. And he would always complain because something would be messed up with the order and always embarrassed me as a kid. He would always, I come in here, I spent spending my hard earned money and you can't even get the order right. It was like that every Friday night.

[D]

So was the Chi Cheese here in Mount. Was in.

[E]

No, no, it was in Louisville. There were a couple of different ones. One on Bardstown Road where Bashford Manor Mall used to be. If you live in Louisville, you know what that is. But no, it is coming back October 6th. And I wonder though, Drew, is it going to be basically just like an El? No, Paul. Because back in the day when Chi Chi's existed, it felt like the only option you had for Mexican food was tumbleweed or Taco Bell. And Chi Chi's was. Was it, you know, And I just wonder now, if I go all the way to Minnesota, am I going to be let down by the fried ice cream and the chimichangas? Because it's the same thing I could get at El no Paul. Right up the road here in Mount Washington.

[F]

I have the same concern. Part of me wants some things to just stay dead. And I just hang on to the memory because I don't want it to come back and ruin all that. I'm with you. I grew up in a Chi Chi's family. Every birthday, from age like 1 through 10, I had the little Polaroid with the sombrero. I think I had them all hanging up on my wall in a line year by year. You mentioned your dad going to Chi Cheese. Almost lost my dad in the Chi Chi's.

[E]

Oh, really?

[F]

He choked on a tortilla chip and he went in the bathroom and the whole restaurant could hear him. And I'm little and I'm thinking, my dad's about to choke in a chichi. This is the end of old Franco and a Chi Cheese.

[E]

Well, look, if ever there was a place to go, but take me to Chi Chi's and let me die there.

[F]

But the thing about chi Cheese, Little Hamlet got him fixed. You know, we kept doing. Going right back to Chi Chi because that's what we did when chi cheese was birthdays. It was like an hour away from us. Birthdays, whatever. Let's go shopping. Back to school shopping in Evansville, Indiana. We're going to Chi Cheese. It was all the time. All the time.

[D]

Chi Chi's on Green River Road.

[F]

Right, right there. Green River Road location.

[D]

That's where we would go to. That was the. The only one around.

[F]

We might have been in a Chi Cheese at the same time. I would have been a child having the birthday.

[D]

An old man.

[F]

So you'd been smashing margaritas over there.

[E]

So if there's any way we can bring a Chi Cheese back to Louisville, I'm in.

[D]

So what's the plan? I was getting ready to ask you, do you know of a plan of one?

[E]

Yeah. So on the news story that came out, they say they're. They're anticipating that they're going to expand. They didn't say any cities necessarily, but, you know, Kentucky was a big, you know, Louisville especially a big market. I guess Lexington as well. Right. For. For Chi Chis.

[D]

Yes.

[E]

So hopefully it'll come back while we're talking food. We talk a lot of food on the pre show. So I'm just kind of carrying this over into ksr, you know, Matt and myself and I don't know about you two guys, but I am big. Like, Matt is on Skyline Chili. Love some Skyline Chili. Are you guys Skyline Chili fans?

[F]

I won't say I'm committed as he is, but when I eat it, I love it. I just, you know, I'm not walking three miles to get it.

[E]

We're not, but.

[F]

But I do enjoy it when I eat it.

[E]

We're not spending Valentine's Day.

[F]

Yeah, no. But I will smash some sky given the opportunity.

[E]

What about you? Are you. No. You don't like it?

[D]

I hate it when you guys stop on the road. We eat it, but I'm not gonna.

[E]

I'm such a fan of Skyline. We don't have a Skyline around Mount Washington. Like, I'd have to drive all the way down to the Highlands in Louisville to get Skyline or off of Breckenridge Road, which neither of which are close, but they do have it now in, like, stores. So you can get it frozen and you can. You can microwave it and basically have some form of Skyline chili. But I'll bring up Skyline chili because they've added a new version of Skyline or a new menu item to Skyline Skyline chicken chili. So they add chicken into the mix. And I'm seeing this going, what are you doing? Skyline? Just make the cinnamon flavored, you know, goodness that goes on the. The Skyline. And now they're throwing chicken into the mix. And I think it's a hard no for me. I mean, obviously I can just ignore it and not order it, but I always am curious to see, like, what people's thoughts are when they try to take something that has been a staple and mix it up and give you an option with chicken on it.

[D]

Ryan, you think they're trying to. That's gonna be their. Their healthy option, I guess real chicken in the chilies. But I don't fried ground.

[E]

But I don't want healthy. I'm not going there for health.

[D]

You're not going to.

[E]

I'm going there to potentially leave with a heart attack, I guess just part of it, you know, and they put the cheese on top of it, and it's good. But the chicken, Drew, I don't know that I'm a fan of. Well, I haven't tried it yet, so I can't bash it yet. Haven't tried it yet.

[F]

I. I pulled as first I've heard of this, so I'm looking it up online. I was wondering if they may be changed. Made a separate chili because sometimes I've had like a white chicken chili that. But no, this is just. Looks like the regular Skyline with chicken chunks in it. No, thank you. I don't know who would. Who would sign up for that. Like you said, if I'm going to Skyline, I'm already committing that, you know, might affect the rest of my afternoon. I know what I'm in for. I'm not here to. For the light options you need to make.

[E]

There's sure that, you know, you know where the restrooms are, where you're going.

[F]

Yes.

[E]

You know, it's part of the strategy, I guess.

[D]

You have that car for too long.

[E]

Exactly. All right. 859-280-2287. That is your. Your food update for the day. Who's up next?

[F]

Rick Hammer is up next.

[E]

Hammer, what's up? Hammer.

[G]

Hey, good morning, fellas. Hey, I just wanted to weigh in a little bit on this grease fire y' all had. For one, if you're barbecuing, surely. God, you got a beer handy instead of a cup of water. Two. I've got a little experience. I'm a chef in the kitchen, so don't mislead people. Grease fires are bad water. Pouring grease on an indoor grease fire is a bad, bad idea. Just cover it up with a towel, a cookie sheet, something. So anyway, not a whole lot of sports for me. Another thing about chili, spaghetti does not belong in chile. That is as bad news.

[E]

Okay, yeah, yeah, go ahead. I'll let you finish your point. Go ahead.

[G]

And last of all them dogs is gonna eat this Saturday, boys.

[E]

Oh, we got a Georgia fan. Way to go. Yeah, well not call it a day. Thanks for the call. Appreciate it. His take on noodles not being in spaghetti, I also disagree with. I like spaghetti in chil. I don't know if you guys are pro spaghetti and chili, but I actually love it. I don't want it without it because it just feels like meat sauce.

[D]

I grew up with spaghetti in my chili. I thought that's how it was supposed to be made. I didn't know it wasn't. You weren't supposed to put it till I left the house. Yeah, my mom always put spaghetti noodles in the chili.

[F]

My grandmother, she was famous for chili. It had spaghetti noodles in it. I don't put it in mine when I make it, but I've had it many times. It's good.

[E]

One person writes, can you talk about Billy's hatred for Kirk, Herb Street's dog? I don't know if you heard about this on the pre show. You know, Kirk, Herb street brings in his dog Peter and Billy. I mean, maybe the worst unpopular opinion of all time, just hating on the golden retriever. I mean, what did. What did Peter do to you, Billy?

[D]

Peter didn't ask for any of this.

[E]

That's right.

[D]

Peter didn't sign up for this kind of hatred and vitriol from Billy. Our sports. Peter's just trying to live a good life. Just, you know, sniffing butts and peeing on the sidewalk.

[E]

Okay.

[F]

I haven't even seen him do that. He just seems like a good boy. He's a good boy. In the videos, he looks like he's just happy to be wherever they are. I saw a clip. I think they were in Green Bay, actually. There was this massive hill. It was a mountain. And Kirk launches the ball. Pete runs all the way down he can barely get back up the hill. And Kirk does it again and he's so gassed. And eventually he's walking, can't make it up, but he's just out there seeing these stadiums and chasing or playing fetch, living his best life. How could anyone. This guy over here, how could anyone hate Pete?

[E]

Billy's hatred for kids and dogs. He's almost like little Mini Matt Jones. You know, Matt doesn't like dogs.

[F]

He doesn't like Mini Mad Jones. I'm doing cover zero with him later today.

[E]

Billy says that's enough. You can come over here and defend yourself if you want to, Billy. Well, I don't know. Do we have another. Yeah, come on over here, Billy. Come on. Come on.

[F]

Mini Matt.

[E]

Yeah. You talked about the fact, you know, you gotta hook up your headset there.

[D]

You talked about Tarnished, the good name of Peter, the dog that's getting all this exposure now on espn.

[E]

Peter has been so popular, he's actually more popular than Kirk Herb street himself. Like, when people meet Kirk Herb street, they want to talk or not talk to, but. Well, maybe talk to.

[D]

Talk about his dog.

[E]

Yeah, talk about his dog and meet the dog and get a picture. But, Billy, you hate Peter. Yeah. I'm so tired of this dog. Kirk Herb street called the dog the Taylor Swift of college football. And I. I am. I'm just here to say that is not the case. I didn't really understand that quote, but I guess maybe just as far as popular, like popularity, like people lying in the streets, so what is your dog. So what is your hatred for the dog? Like, why. Why is that? That's just too much. Too much of it. Like, I'm trying to watch College Game Day and Kirk can't do a segment without his dog running around. The. The Seems to really upset you. Well, I mean, I just. I've seen enough of it all. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, I could say I've seen enough of Pat McAfee who is on ESPN at every hour of the day.

[F]

Do you watch Seth Greenberg on the basketball version?

[E]

No, no, can't watch Seth Greenberg either, as we know the cur he is. But, like, Kirk's in the booth calling a game. It's a blowout. So let's put a headset on the dog. Yeah, it's a blowout. Nobody cares about the game. The game is over. Let's talk about his golden retriever. And that kind of surprises me because don't you have a dog? Oh, yeah, yeah, I got a dog. I don't hate dogs. Like, I, I'm not mini Matt Jones here. I, I don't like children on the post game shows, I will give you that. But this dog in particular doesn't need to be getting the Taylor Swift of college football treatment. Thank you, Kirk, for forcing your dog down our throne.

[D]

You know, I'm hearing, I'm hearing a lot of jealousy.

[E]

I know. Are you jealous of a golden retriever? Yeah, probably. He's on game day. He's in the booth calling games. I want that dog's life is what I apparently now. When you and Drew did the post game show, you wouldn't allow any kids to call in.

[F]

We had zero kids on the.

[E]

That's not true.

[F]

My first time hosting, I was so excited to talk to the children. I wanted to meet the youth of bbn Shannon. They're our future.

[E]

Right?

[F]

Not one child came through a Saturday night. And I think it's because Billy was blocking them all.

[E]

They feel like they're not wanting.

[F]

Never mind it was one in the morning. But it was all Billy's fault.

[E]

Like when you guys came over today, I try to make you feel welcome. Billy does not sit out the donuts or the, you know, he doesn't, he doesn't do anything to make the kids feel welcome on the post game show. And I just don't know why you hate kids. No, no, they're all welcome. I used to battle it though. Like, no, they can call in, they can get on and make their point. I used to make a big deal about it. Now I just, you know, let them do their, their own failing on the air. How does it make you feel to know that looking right back at you right now is the Maran County Country Ham Days KSR Hog calling championship trophy that you did not win. The jealousy is wreaking right now. Well, it's quite the achievement from Ryan. I would also carry it around and show everybody if you beat me in a competition. But I can really barely see the trophy because of the, the fumes from this breadstick. Fazoli's candle. I mean this is like one of the strongest candles I've ever smelled in my life. Doesn't it make you hungry though? Yeah, kinda. Yeah. I could eat a breadstick or two right now. Yeah.

[F]

I'm with Billy on the candle. I'm about ready to put it out. I think I actually have garlic breath just from breathing near it. Like it's all in my throat.

[D]

Throw some water on it.

[E]

My eyes are watering. Standing here with start a grease fire.

[F]

I will agree with Billy on the strength of that candle, not on hating children. And kids. What else do you not like, Billy? Rainbows. You like Christmas trees?

[E]

No. Look, I'm not here to be that guy, to be the contrarian.

[D]

But he's that guy.

[E]

But look, not every golden retriever just deserves our applause because it's in the booth or around Kirk Herbstreet all the time.

[D]

Please.

[E]

All right. Billy has spoken. He hates dogs. He hates kids. 859-280-2287. We're live in Mount Washington. We'll be right back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio.

[D]

Well, as always, your good friend in the mortgage business is Stockton Mortgage and let's just say Shannon the dude, you live in this nice house here on a certain street in Mount Washington.

[E]

Don't say it. Don't say it. I mean, people will figure it out, I'm sure.

[D]

But let's say like your dad did remodel the whole kitchen.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Well, you can do a cash out refinance on your house. You know, you've got a lot of equity in this house.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Use that money, put it to work for you. You've built this beautiful kitchen inside the house.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

So next step for you. Maybe you want to put a pool here and you got a large Backyard.

[E]

Look right out that window right there. What do you see?

[D]

I see an above ground pool.

[E]

Well, there you go. That neighbor has said to me, anytime you want to come over here and use this pool, it's yours. Okay? That's what kind of neighbors I have.

[D]

Well, you can put your own in ground pool to cash out. Refinance. Maybe you want to build a big pool house. They got construction loans. Maybe you just want to do your refinance period. The rates have actually dropped. They're down like six and a quarter. 6.1 in some places. So Stockton Mortgage is your friend. They can help you along the way.

[E]

Sticking with the theme of homeowners and living in neighborhoods, there's a new survey that just came out that says that having good neighbors is so important to some homeowner home buyers that 19 of them said they would be willing to pay $10,000 or more above the price of a comparable home to avoid having bad neighbors. They say 82% of Americans say having good neighbors is just as important as price or location when buying a home. I don't know if I would agree with that. It is important to have good neighbors, but if you tell me I could have this house in Mount Washington or I could have it by a beach, I think that would outweigh having good neighbors over the location. And they also say a good neighbor is someone they can trust, someone who's quiet, someone who maintains their home and yard, and someone who keeps to themselves. We may have to work on the keeping to themselves because my neighbors just wander over here. But other than that, Drew, I feel like it is important to have good neighbors. I don't know. You live in a neighborhood as well, right?

[F]

Yeah, I don't. I don't have a relationship with my current neighbors before them. When I first moved in on each side we were very close and we still stay in touch now that they've moved one out of the state and one out of the county. So I was originally close to them, but when both sides moved out, new people move in. One I've never even spoke to and the other I'll wave occasionally. Yeah, but it's weird. We're right on top. We live, you know, in Lexington. If you're pretty close to, you know, in the city, you're not going to have any area between your houses. We're right on top of each other. And I don't really know them at all.

[E]

Right.

[F]

I wish it was a little better.

[E]

I was like that. I lived in Louisville for 10 years before I moved back out here, and I really didn't know any of my neighbors. And a lot of them would live there for a couple of years and move out. Right. The other ones were moving. I'm like, well, what's. Am I missing something here? What's going on with this neighborhood? It feels like a, you know, just a turnstile of neighbors coming and going. So I really didn't know any of my neighbors there. But then back here, like I was telling you earlier, I've known all these neighbors because they've been here since 1982. But. Right. I feel like you might be the neighbor that some of these people are talking about that they don't necessarily want to live next to because you're starting grease fires and blaring hoodie in the blowfish until 2am yeah.

[F]

I'd say your neighbors know you and you might not even know them.

[D]

Yeah. When they write about you on the neighborhood website and ain't good, you know that Maybe you're not a very good neighbor, but when I go show houses with my people, I tell them, man, look at your neighbors. Look your. Do they have like a pride of ownership of their house or is it Fred Sanford, you know, living beside you? You don't want to live with that. Maybe you go out in the backyard and walk around, make sure there's not like six dogs in the house in the backyard beside you.

[F]

Man, I got a dog problem.

[D]

It makes it. It makes a difference, doesn't it? Some people are. Don't mind it, but some people do mind.

[E]

Are you aware of the Nextdoor app?

[D]

Yes.

[E]

So it's like a neighborhood app where sometimes people will get on there and it's like an open forum, talk trash about their neighbors.

[D]

They have talked trash about me.

[E]

They have.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[F]

How many times have you been name dropped on either the Facebook group.

[D]

Well, they say I don't know his name, but he does some radio show.

[E]

Oh, wow. Well, you know what? You got to be a better neighbor, Ryan.

[D]

I'm trying. I'm really trying.

[E]

I still feel really awkward about going to your neighbor's house instead of your house when I came over there a couple of months ago. 859-280-2287. We'll take your calls coming up next. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio. 859-280-2287. Shannon Ryan and Matt Jones returns on Friday, and we'll be at Shady Rays on Friday. Looking forward to that. That is the. The Lobo, correct, I believe, right?

[D]

Yes.

[E]

Yeah, we'll be out there and making his big return. Yep. He can tell us all about his safari and his Cincinnati Reds, getting the play up, making the playoffs, and then getting out of the playoffs. I don't know what the setup over there is. I mean, I would assume if he can dial in for a radio show that he would have some sort of access to watch the Reds play, but I'm not really sure.

[F]

He was watching it as we were doing our podcast. I, I guess this, this tent. I'm using quotation marks here for those who can't see me.

[E]

Do you think he was actually in a studio? Like, he was faking the moon landing? I don't know. He wasn't really in a tent. It was just like he was in a studio with, like, some, like, tent curtains over top of him.

[F]

He was talking so softly, which, you know, you're trying to do a podcast about the NFL and he's like the Ravens chief. So, you know, but he was doing that because there are other tents around him and everyone else is asleep.

[D]

Middle of the night over there, I guess.

[F]

And he's like, we're not in his city. It's completely silent out here. So I can only imagine everyone was just listening half of our conversation as he's talking about Lamar Jackson's hamstring at 1 in the morning in the middle of Krueger National Park.

[E]

Think about what you just said there. This is an official NFL podcast and is being broadcast from a tent in South Africa. Now, I know that NFL probably knew that there was going to be some ridiculousness involved in the podcast. I don't know, Drew, that they expected it to be to that great of length that, that you guys do and have you now had to wait till the very last second of the games on Sunday nights, like the Packers Cowboys game did you guys do the.

[F]

This past Sunday, I was home and we were done before that game started because Billy and I and Mario got there at 5pm but you know, that's like midnight Matt's time. So we have to wait. You know, the second round of games aren't over yet. I think we got done around 8. But for Matt to like stay through the Cowboys packers, it would have been almost morning for him. He even mentioned that a couple times since he's been gone, he's gotten up and during his morning he's watching what we're seeing the. The night football game he's seeing in the morning.

[E]

Wow. Yeah. Yeah, I guess there's.

[F]

So that's. And the NFL knew that when we took the podcast that he had this trip. But here for a little while, we've just been patching it together while he's been gone. Billy and I are going to do it without him today and we'll have to recap Sunday Night Football because we had to do it so early. But we'll have the routine when he's. When he's back.

[E]

The breakdown. Some late Sundays break down the exciting tie 40 to 40. The highest scoring tie, I think, in NFL history. The score got maybe the second highest. Something like that. Kentucky dude says we were talking about the. The chicken flavored Skyline Chili. Apparently there's also graders who has partnered with Skyline Chili and they have Skyline Chili ice cream.

[F]

I heard that that comes out today.

[E]

Yeah. So I guess it's like chili spiced ice says. Okay. Chili spiced ice cream flavor with oyster crackers. Yeah.

[D]

I don't know if you guys can have all that.

[E]

Know about that. Like, I love some Skyline. I don't know if I want Skyline with ice cream and oyster crackers.

[F]

The second time they've done this. I guess it's about as Cincinnati as you can get if you're combining graters and Skyline.

[E]

Skyline.

[F]

I mean, all you need is Joe Burrow to slip and fall. Handed it to you. And that's like all of Cincinnati all.

[E]

Together with this, with this turf toe.

[F]

I would eat it. I didn't. I tried to get my hands on one last time. It came around, didn't. I would try it.

[D]

Yeah, I got a couple aviation glass texts.

[E]

All right, let's go.

[D]

This one says, my two sons and I visited KS Bar for the first time last night to take advantage of the Reds promo. Got the Great American Burger all day today.

[E]

That's right.

[D]

And if you wear Cincinnati Reds gear, you get a free side of fries. The Food was great, but we were served a paper straw.

[E]

Oh, no. You said that we're gonna get rid of those.

[D]

Yep.

[F]

I don't think they were supposed to be passed out last night. We have one box of paper straws that was sent by the supplier.

[E]

I don't know.

[F]

Just like, hey, this is an option. Obviously, if Matt were in town, he would have punted those across.

[E]

I'm with you, man. Paper stalls do not work for me.

[F]

But we have not completely switched. And that probably a mistake. There was like, there's one random box of paper straws in the place.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

And the other one in on the aviation glass tax machine. I'm a little worried I'm looking too much info online.

[E]

There is, man. Like, I'm looking over at your. Your phone right now, and there is a picture of my house just right there. And that's one of the things. Like, when I moved, I had a feeling that this foreign money thing was going to continue. And I was asking my realtor, like, is it possible to not have that information on Google? And apparently, I guess you can. Just like, if I wanted to find Tom Cruise's house, could I just Google Tom Cruise's house? And it would pop up.

[D]

Well, people like that may have it in like a. They're an llc.

[E]

Well, I should have done an llc. Yeah. Because it's. My stuff is out there everywhere. And it's. It's kind of creepy that somebody could just look up your house, Drew. But apparently it's.

[D]

We had a FedEx driver drive by a while ago. Gave us a little honking.

[E]

Yep.

[F]

Well, now that we have Zillow, I mean, you can really. Not every house. You can really snoop in people's house.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[F]

And, you know, sometimes it's older how it looked before it sold, but, I mean, there's not a lot of privacy for anyone anymore.

[E]

Well, I mean, and to be fair, I mean, remember we were talking about John Caliper? His house. We knew where he lived.

[D]

We knew exactly where Mark Polemar.

[E]

He bought Mark Stoops house.

[D]

Yes.

[E]

It's all just out Barnharts.

[F]

There's a curiosity.

[E]

I do it.

[F]

We all do it. Like when Coach Cal's house went up for sale. I think most people are being honest. When you saw the link to it, you went and snooped around, like, saw the. You know, oh, look at this. Who decorated this room? You know, it's just, we're human beings, and that's natural. You do that when a celebrity's house goes up.

[E]

So you guys have Been here, you know, Matt tries to act like I'm this mysterious figure, which I would argue I'm not at all. I've invited him. Matt's one of these people that loves to be invited, but he never shows up when he gets invited, so I just stopped inviting him. But he came over to my house that I had previous previously to this house one time, and I forget if he's gonna pick up something or I don't know what it was. Maybe concert tickets or something. But he. He knocked on my door. I opened the door, he poked his head in. I would have allowed him to come into my house, but there was a very important Zoom conference call going on. This was around the COVID era. Ah. And he. He poked his head in and he gave me what I would say was the most backhanded compliment I have ever received from another human being in my entire life. He looks in, kind of does like a, you know, 180 look around at the house. He goes, oh, this is much more high budget than what I was expecting. And I didn't know whether Drew to be like, say thank you, or to be offended or what. I don't know if he thought that I slept on dirt floors in my house or what, but somebody poking their head in and going, this is way more high budget than what I was expecting. I didn't know how to react to that.

[F]

Yeah, that's not a compliment, and I think it's intended as a compliment, but that's not a compliment. It's like, what did you expect of me thinking I just. Just live on this bench out here on the street.

[E]

Yeah. I don't know if he expected there to be, like, you know, clothes all over the floor and, like, dust and mud track through the house or like, you know, I. I don't know what. What he was expecting.

[D]

Well, before we all leave, we all need to go at least inside your.

[E]

House, so you're welcome.

[D]

You can all say, yeah, we've. We've been in Shannon's house. Have you not been in Shannon's house? Yeah, we've all been in Shannon's house.

[E]

I think he already took the tour. My dad gave me the tour.

[D]

Got your little look. Saw your studio downstairs where you do your radio stuff. It's cool.

[E]

I got the moped over here. You know, John Caliperi used to go around on a moped. A Vespa. Right. So this is a 49 and a half cc. So this thing will only get up to, like, 35 miles an hour. It might go 40 if you're going downhill. But this is like something that I bought to take down to Florida because, you know, in Panama City beach they are going up and down Front Beach Road on these mopeds, but they stopped renting them. So I thought, you know what? What, I'll just go buy one. They're like less than a thousand bucks. I'll just buy it and take it down there. So I bought it a couple years ago, never made it down there. So I have it just here and I cruise around here. But apparently you're supposed to have these things insured. According to Mount Washington's finest.

[G]

Yeah.

[E]

Or may or may not have pulled me.

[D]

How do you know May or may.

[E]

Not have pulled me over on one of these? They said you have to have it insured. However, I went to the Kentucky government website and it says anything under 50cc you don't have to have, ah, insured. So I'm not saying the cops around here don't know what they're talking about, but I'm just saying what, what their version of the law is, does not agree with what's on the state website.

[F]

When you say you were going to take it to Florida, were you going to throw it on a trailer? Because I have this mental image of you and Ryan just doing the Dumb and Dumber from here. Just let it go, man. Yeah, I can see you two on there.

[E]

Yeah, for sure. You want to take a lap around the block when we're down here?

[D]

Yeah, okay, definitely.

[E]

You're gonna ride in the back though.

[F]

Will you all please? Dumb and dumb. I need full Harry and Lloyd on this moped after.

[D]

You have helmets?

[E]

No, but that's okay. It only goes 35. I don't think we need it. I feel like if things went wrong, you could jump off and survive it. You got a hard head anyway.

[D]

I. I need that head.

[E]

Don't isolate that. Let's go to the calls. Who's up next?

[D]

Rick got Sean up next.

[E]

What's up, Sean?

[G]

Hey, guys. Mount Washington drummer. Jelly Rolls Drummer. Shannon, you'll get a kick out of this. There's a series on YouTube called Drumeo. They bring professional drummers in. They play them a song without the drum track. They have to figure out the song. Listening without drums from Jelly Roll, who plays country music. They give him a song from Slayer, one of the heaviest metal bands you'll ever hear. You've got to check this out. Shane and Beanie, musician. This guy is so good. He absolutely kills this song from Slayer. Okay, get a kick out of that.

[E]

Yeah.

[G]

Drummond on YouTube.

[E]

Drumeo. Got it. I'll look it up. You know, as somebody who.

[G]

I appreciate it.

[E]

Yeah. Somebody who cannot play drums at all. I. I have a lot of respect for people who can. I can play guitar a little bit. I'm not horrible at it. Bass a little bit. But when it comes to drums, I can't keep a beat. Can't do it. Don't know how drummers, how they do it. But our drummer, like an Alice Blue Gun. Great drummer.

[D]

Brian.

[E]

Brian. Great. Speaking of which, by the way, while we're talking Alice Bluegown, we're gonna be playing the Goatman festival.

[D]

The Goat man has a festival?

[F]

That sounds awesome.

[E]

I wanted to get to this at some point, and we're running out of time, so I feel like now is as good a time of any.

[D]

Yes.

[E]

Yes. Saturday, October 11, at Pope Lick park here in Louisville. The Goat man is a Louisville legend.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

He's basically like on the same level as Muhammad Ali. Both of them Louisville legends. Ali, Goatman. So the story of the Goat man. And I may not have it, the story. Correct. But I'll just make it up as I go.

[F]

It's okay.

[E]

Sorry. Public park. That's right. Factory optional public park has this train trestle that goes across. Right. It's probably, gosh, 60, 70ft in the air, maybe even higher than that.

[G]

That.

[E]

But there is the lore, the folklore of the Goat Man. And I don't know how it all started, but apparently the Goat man lives in that area, Pope Lick park in Louisville. And people will go out there, try to find a Goat Man. But this, according to the story, is the Goat man can mimic other people's voices and he can lure you up to the train trestle. And a lot of people have actually died because they went up to the train trestle. And then here comes a train. It's still operating, by the way. This isn't a shutdown. Train tracks. I mean, train still goes across there several times throughout the day. And people have died because they've gotten up on that train vessel. Like in the middle, here comes a train. They're trying to outrun the train. They can't. So the last option they have is to drop down and try to hang on. And the vibration of the train going by has made people fall to their death. So that's. That's the Goat man folklore that is here in Louisville. And they have a Goatman festival every year. And we're going to be playing that October 11th. So I know we haven't Talked to any ghosts on the show today? Some of you are probably disappointed. We haven't talked to any aliens yet. But the Goat man is a real thing here in Louisville. Ryan, do you believe in the Goat Man?

[D]

No, but I've heard that. I've heard the Goat man stories and the Goat man legend. I didn't know he had his own festival.

[E]

He has his own festival. Yeah.

[D]

But I did hear that he would kind of time it when he knew the train was coming. He could lure you up on the track by mimicking somebody's voice. Come on, man.

[E]

Well, I mean, well, the. The. The deaths are 100 true. That's just, you know, teenage people being stupid. Well, teenage curiosity going up there and.

[D]

You know, trying to find the Goatman.

[E]

And with it being October 1st today, you know, it's that time of year where people kind of want to do stuff that will, you know, it's Halloween.

[D]

So you're playing at the Goatman Festival?

[E]

We will be playing.

[D]

Is he gonna get up on stage with you and sing?

[E]

We thought about put. Speaking of Brian, our drummer, we thought about getting a Goatman head and making him perform the entire show as the Goatman. So if I can get Amazon to get me a goatman costume before October 11, there's a good chance our drummer will be the Goat Man. Drew.

[F]

Oh, you got to get that. I'm now fascinated. Goat Man. I heard this year, this is how my brain works. You can tell me, like, a serious news topic. Yeah, and it'll just roll off my brain. I won't even. I won't say. I won't care, but whatever. Yeah, you tell me about a Goat Man. I'll commit three hours tonight to looking up every story, every word in print about Goatman, every YouTube video. I will go down a Goatman wormhole.

[E]

Go down the Goatman hole, and see what you can find. I. You know, I don't really know the. How it originated. Like, how does somebody become a Goat Man?

[D]

But it dates back, like, 50, 60, 70 years.

[E]

Yeah. Yeah. A long time. A long time. So they have this festival at Pope Lick park, and they have, you know, I think as the ghost of the Goat Man, I think it's probably a time. Good time to take a break. 859-280-2287. We'll take more of your phone calls coming up next. It is Kentucky Sports Radio.

[E]

Yeah, I mean, that's not even a bigfoot photo.

[D]

And that was produced by WHAS tv.

This final segment, Drew, is sponsored by commonwealth causes, who I believe have a bourbon collection. I've got some bourbon in here, but not as good as bourbon as you can get through Commonwealth causes.

[F]

Definitely. And they're also creating a better Kentucky by shining a spotlight on local charities and inspiring generosity around the state. You mentioned the bourbon. Each week you can get in on the queen of hearts raffle. Ryan does those happen every Thursday. And the ultimate bourbon collection raffle takes place the last Thursday of every month. You don't. Your ticket doesn't just give you a shot at $20,000 worth of bourbon, but a share of the 10,000 Queen of Hearts pot. How much have you won so far, Ron?

[D]

That would be a big fat zero so far.

[F]

So that's one person you can beat out because Ryan never wins. And if you make it to that piece of the puzzle, it will support Kentucky charities. To date, Commonwealth causes has donated over 600,000 to nonprofits right here in the bluegrass.

The legend describes a half man, half goat creature said to live around the trestle. But there's no actual reports or evidence of a goatman. It says instead, the legend is believed to have been perpetuated to warn people away from the hazardous private property, despite the legend being a hoax. See, this is AI saying this. The trestle has been the site of over a dozen deaths and injuries as thrill seekers venture into the or onto the active tracks in search of the mythical creature. So, kids, don't go up on the.

[D]

Don't go up on the.

[E]

Don't do it. That's right. That's your PSA for today. Let's go to the phones. We got a few calls. Rick, who's up next?

[F]

Got Ed up next.

[E]

Hey, Ed, what's up?

[G]

Hey, good morning, guys. Good show.

[E]

Thank you. Chi Cheese and hike. Yes, that's the one I used to go to. Yeah, the Hikes Point Chichis.

[G]

Well, you said. You said Bardstown Road.

[E]

Well, I mean, it was off of Bardstown. I mean, Hikes Point is kind of Bardstown Road now.

[G]

I think it's all planned. Like, I'm not.

[E]

It was a Bashford Manor ball. I know that look, don't argue. Chichis would be all right. You can argue sports with me. Don't argue.

[F]

Was it a left or a right?

[G]

All right, let's argue about something else out there. Out there where you did. Rotten Gun Club. You ever heard of it?

[D]

What do you say?

[E]

Say it again.

[G]

Rotten Gun Club.

[E]

Rotten Gun Club.

[D]

Don't know anything about.

[E]

No idea what you're talking about, Ed.

[G]

Okay, if you're headed west on 44, about a mile before you get to Bardstown Road on the south side of 44, there used to be a FOP lodge out there.

[E]

Okay?

[G]

My cousin used to go out there. My cousin used to go out there and play his guitar. And the name of us was Rotten Gun Club.

[E]

Okay.

[G]

I was out there a couple weeks. I was out there a couple weeks ago for a football game and just happened to notice that the post for the sign are still there.

[E]

All right, Ed. Well, that's good stuff. Yeah. All right. I'm going to take my guitar over to the Rotten, Rotten Gun Club. Yep. Thanks for the call. We appreciate it.

[D]

Take your guitar.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

And your gun go out. The Rotten Gun Club.

[E]

Make sure we got that location of the Chi Chi.

[F]

What was that address? I got that exact.

[E]

Exactly. Exactly. All right, Rick, give us another call.

[F]

Rob is up next.

[E]

Hey, Rob, what's up?

[G]

Hey, what's going on? Hey, I want to talk about the root cause of the football program's problems, Mitch Barnhart. I mean, if we don't have a course correction soon, if he doesn't take care of this Stoop situation soon, and with this contract, who really trusts him to lead us forward? Now where, correct me if I'm wrong, we have no transparency in the contracts. And seeing what he's doing now that they've separated and made a different entity, if Stoops, I. I think let him finish the season. But if Barnhart can't get rid of him or do something, I think it's time for a new ad.

[E]

Well, I wonder how much longer Mitch Barnhart will be around. Anyway, and thanks for the call. That 38 million, was it? $38 million buyout that Stoops has in 60 days, it's gonna be a problem. I mean, these coaches get these huge buyouts and, you know, you're kind of stuck with them regardless.

[F]

And the criticism of Mitch on the contracts is fair. I mean, we got lucky. John Calipari started smelling chicken in Arkansas, stepped away because you had this exact same problem with basketball. And he's responsible for both of them. He's done a lot of good things, but he got played at the negotiation table a little bit.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

You can't, you cannot fault Mitch Martin for what he has done as an athletic director. You can fault him about the contracts. There's no doubt about it.

[E]

Well, guys, I want to say a big thanks to all of you. Ryan did a great job. Mario, folks, coming out here to Mount Washington, it was great to actually wake up and be on site for where the show is going to be.

[D]

Walk out the front door.

[E]

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Ryan and I are going to jump on a moped and take a lap around Mount Washington. Appreciate everybody calling in a lot of fun today. KSR is next. What are we doing tomorrow? Do we have a game plan? Just the three of us Tomorrow?

[F]

Yeah, we'll figure it out.

[D]

We're gonna have fun tomorrow.

[E]

All right. We're gonna have fun. That's right. Go Reds. Hopefully they don't lose tonight to the Dodgers. This has been Kentucky Sports Radio. Thanks for listening. We'll be active it be back tomorrow.
