I knew it was a bomb the second that it exploded. I felt it rip through me. In season two of Rip Current, we ask who tried to kill Judy Berry and why they were climbing trees and they were sabotaging logging equip in the woods. She received death threats before the bombing. She received more threats after the bombing. I think that this is a deliberate.

Shannon Dawson
I caught that, too. I wasn't gonna say anything.
Matt Jones
That's a good mixing of analogies. But, I mean, you do, in theory, have to open your eyes so you can see him while you're listening. Like you. I mean, you could close them, but.
Ryan Lemond
You want to open your eyes to see his body language, but then you want to listen to what he's saying.
Matt Jones
Oh, so you. That's what you meant.
Ryan Lemond
That's what I meant to say.
Matt Jones
Okay.
Ryan Lemond
He comes out and he's hanging his head all mopey. How am I going to see it if I don't open my eyes?
Matt Jones
I didn't even think about that. You know, I mean, there's a lot that goes into this brain.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Matt Jones
That we don't always process, Drew. And so that was actually much more in depth than we realized.
Drew Franklin
And he knows his senses. What was it last week when he said that you have a fifth sense?
Matt Jones
I had a fifth sense, which was nice. He gives me all of them.
Ryan Lemond
All the senses.
Matt Jones
KS bar is open. Come on out tonight. They're having. What are they having? Karaoke. Like, is that Cam's karaoke Cam comes out here. He leads karaoke Cam. Now Cam's a character. Mario sent me a video of Cam singing Cam gets down. So you want. If you want to do it. KSR karaoke. I'm. I can't come tonight, but I'm gonna come to the next one because I want to. I want to sing with Cam. I want Cam and I to sing islands in the stream. I saw Cam singing I'll be Kenny, he can be Dolly, and we'll let it go.
Drew Franklin
You need a karaoke host.
Matt Jones
Who. Will you step in there and do a few ballots singing. They gotta get up and keep energy Going, Cam's got a mullet. That' Every good karaoke singer's got a mullet.
Ryan Lemond
One of my favorite memories of our Alaskan cruise are all us singing karaoke in the one of those ship bars that one night.
Matt Jones
That's right. Have you seen the video of the kid at Liberty who's from Ashland? What's his name? Colin Porter.
Ryan Lemond
Oh, he's awesome.
Matt Jones
So there's a kid. Might be nice to have that kid. Actually, there's a kid at Liberty whose name is Colin Porter. He's from Ashland, Kentucky. He can shoot.
Ryan Lemond
Yep.
Matt Jones
And I guess the other night they were playing somebody and he had, like, a crazy game. He had, like, 35 points.
Ryan Lemond
Did he really?
Matt Jones
What is that sound?
Drew Franklin
What's going on?
Matt Jones
What's happening?
Drew Franklin
Why so loud?
Matt Jones
Tell somebody. Tell them to calm down. It's a little loud for. Anyway, Colin Porter. What? Who's Brett Decker?
Drew Franklin
I think that's the guy you're talking about. From Elizabethtown.
Matt Jones
There's a guy named Colin Porter from Ashley.
Ryan Lemond
He's been their starting point guard, fresh out for Liberty.
Drew Franklin
Lighting it up right now. From Elizabethtown. I thought that's what you're talking about.
Matt Jones
I'm talking about Colin Porter because there's a video of him, and he. After the last game, he. Or after some game, he had a big game and he sang Morgan Wallen. Have you seen this?
Ryan Lemond
No, I haven't seen that video.
Matt Jones
It's online.
Ryan Lemond
He.
Matt Jones
He, like, has a good game, then they interview him, and he just is like, what's the song? And now I'm dodging potholes in my. Like, he starts standing in my boots. He sings it in his post game.
Ryan Lemond
No, he does, does he?
Matt Jones
Yeah, and not particularly well, but I still give him a lot of credit. So Ashland looking good at Liberty.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, he was on that Ashland team that went undefeated through the regular season and got upset in the state final. Well, maybe I've been The Kobe year. They didn't have the state finals. They were undefeated. Ben, he's been the starting point guard since the minute he walked on the court.
Matt Jones
He's really good.
Drew Franklin
I was showing you Decker from Elizabethtown, he just scored 29. He's got 2119, and he's shooting like 67% from three for Liberty. He won't be at Liberty long. I thought you're bringing him up because he can bring Colin Porter with him, but Decker has been a bucket for them, and he from nearby, too.
Matt Jones
All right. Okay. A couple things here. First of all, I knew you'd be excited. Ryan The Kelsey brothers gave a shout out to Jared Lorenz, Travis, and. And Jason.
Ryan Lemond
Somebody sent that to me at halftime of the Michigan State Kentucky game, and I needed to smile. Made me smile from here to here. That was kind of cool to see those two guys talking about Jared.
Matt Jones
And they both were so, like. Like, so nice. Yes, Right? Like, they both acknowledged they played a clip of his highlights, and they've got so excited putting the famous throw behind his head, and they both went nuts. You know, those dudes are, I mean, very, very famous. And even though it's just a minute or two to give a shout out to Jared, I think one of them said when they were growing up, he was, like, the most exciting player they could watch. You know, they were at Cincinnati, so they weren't that far from him, obviously, from where he grew up. I just. I. That had to make the Lorenzen family. That had to make them feel really good.
Ryan Lemond
I hope he's dead. Joe saw, and I hope Tayden saw it, his son, because that was kind of cool to see. These two. Maybe one of the most famous podcasts going right now, took time out to honor one of the guy that we love so dearly.
Drew Franklin
Did you see what Tayden did last week?
Ryan Lemond
He had, what, five touchdowns?
Drew Franklin
He intercepted a Hail Mary in the end zone. But before he ran on the field, he told his teammate, I'm going to intercept this. Be ready for a lateral. He runs it out of the end zone right before he gets tackled, he pitches it to his teammate, who takes it all the way down the sideline.
Matt Jones
Wait a minute. He.
Drew Franklin
He said, I'm checking in to intercept this Hail Mary. Be ready for my lateral.
Matt Jones
Team scored a touchdown.
Drew Franklin
I think he got tackled just shy of the goal line, but they went 90 yards, and he called his shot. He said, I'm checking in to intercept this. Be ready for the ladder.
Matt Jones
What's he doing next year?
Drew Franklin
He's still got another year.
Matt Jones
Oh, he's still got another year.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah. And I think he's only got, like, one really good offer from, like, Miami of Ohio, but Vince has been talking to him, so we can't let Vince steal him away.
Drew Franklin
I saw him at the Florida game in full UK gear, so he's still bleeding blue. Like, he needs to say hello, but he phone needs to start ringing for him.
Matt Jones
What is happening back there? Are we. Are we hosting a party? There's a radio show back there. I mean, there. People are.
Ryan Lemond
They're not.
Matt Jones
They're like, who is back there?
Ryan Lemond
Workers.
Matt Jones
Just bring it down a notch, please.
Drew Franklin
We're working here.
Matt Jones
I mean. Okay. All right. Secondly, I know you like these kind of random stories. World cup qualifying for soccer is going on.
Ryan Lemond
Wow.
Matt Jones
They've expanded the World Cup. Okay, so. So used to be 32. Now there's 48 teams. So some more teams are getting in.
Ryan Lemond
Okay.
Matt Jones
But would you like a couple cool stories?
Ryan Lemond
I do.
Matt Jones
Scotland has not been in there in 30 years. Scotland wins a game earlier this week to get to go. Now I've been with Scottish fans. I was with them at the European Championships. The most fun group of people on earth were Scottish soccer fans. I still talk to a couple of them from Aberdeen.
Ryan Lemond
They.
Matt Jones
They dance, they sing. They literally make songs up on the fly. Like, they're. They're awesome. They make it the country. The. The prime minister, Whoever's in charge of Scotland just says after the game, no one has to go to work tomorrow.
Ryan Lemond
Oh, nice.
Matt Jones
I don't know if even has the authority to do that.
Ryan Lemond
If.
Matt Jones
I don't know if you can just say no one has to go to work. They end up all the bars. They. They, like, change the rules so everybody can stay out. They don't.
Ryan Lemond
They.
Matt Jones
They don't enforce it. There are videos at 5 in the morning of people in Scotland running and singing. I don't think there would have been a better place to be on earth than Scotland on, like, Monday night.
Drew Franklin
I'm so excited. I have a Scotland flag at home. A soccer or scarf, not a flag. Because two of my friends, Alan and Mick, love. Or they're from Scotland and love soccer. I text them as soon as it ended. So where are we meeting for the World Cup?
Matt Jones
Yeah, wherever they. Wherever they play in America. I don't even care about the game. I'm just going to go to be there. I was there at the European Championship, and I was in two different cities where they were, and it was the most fun thing I've done. So whatever city they get assigned, you got to go then. Haiti. Okay. Haiti has never been to the World Cup. They made it. And the videos and pictures of Haiti, of people, you know, they've had a lot of devastation in Haiti, right? They've had a lot of stuff. They make it. But then this is maybe the most interesting. The smallest country in the world to ever make the World cup made it this week.
Ryan Lemond
What is it?
Matt Jones
Curacao?
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Curacao has never made it. They made it. Now you. That feels like a kind of place you vacation.
Ryan Lemond
I've been to Curacao.
Matt Jones
Where is it?
Ryan Lemond
Down there by the ab. By Aruba. Or ABC Lyons? Aruba. The B. I forget what it is, then. Curacao.
Matt Jones
What's the B? Bermuda?
Ryan Lemond
No.
Matt Jones
Bahamas?
Ryan Lemond
No, it's.
Matt Jones
I can'to Montego.
Ryan Lemond
But Curacao is beautiful. It's beautiful down there.
Matt Jones
So you've been there?
Ryan Lemond
I've been.
Matt Jones
How many people live in Curacao?
Ryan Lemond
I couldn't tell you.
Matt Jones
But, like, how. Give me a get. Like, are we talking. Is it a hundred thousand? It's got to be tiny. If it's the smallest one. Is it, like, what's the size? Shannon, will you look up how many people live in Curacao?
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, I'll look it up for you.
Matt Jones
C U R. C U R A C A O. Yep.
Shannon Dawson
155,000.
Matt Jones
It looks like 155,000. So just think about it. How many people live in Lexington?
Ryan Lemond
250.
Matt Jones
So, you know, actually use the surrounding area of Lexington. It's like half the size of Lexington. And they're playing in the World Cup. That's kind of awesome, isn't it?
Ryan Lemond
See, when you talk about the World Cup, I don't have any interest until you tell me stories like this. This is kind of cool. These every story you've said Haiti, Scotland, and now Curacao.
Matt Jones
So is that how you say Curacao?
Ryan Lemond
That's how I say it. Curacao.
Matt Jones
That doesn't mean. That's right.
Ryan Lemond
That's very true.
Drew Franklin
So Ryan has his team, we have ours. Maybe Scotland will play Curacao.
Matt Jones
Oh, that would be great. Group B. So I think all of those are cool stories about the world.
Ryan Lemond
Very cool stories. I am pro team Curacao right now, for sure.
Matt Jones
All right, and then last thing. Did you see our girl Jordan Hudson? What she did is. I. I've said this for a while. I'm pro Jordan Hudson. Like, everybody's mean to Jordan Hudson. I'm kind of pro Jordan Hudson. I think it's weird she does adult cheerleading, but whatever, that's fine. Did you see what she did yesterday?
Ryan Lemond
What?
Matt Jones
Pablo Torres podcast got nominated for best podcast of 2025.
Ryan Lemond
Okay.
Matt Jones
And remember, he's done like six episodes on her and Bill Belichick. That's kind of how his podcast grew. So he posts and says, really excited to be nominated for 2025 Podcast of the Year. She retweets it and goes, you're welcome.
Ryan Lemond
Nice. That's a boss move. Really?
Matt Jones
I think that's kind of a boss move. They've been coming after her. He says, you're welcome. I kind of think that's pretty good. Don't you?
Drew Franklin
I have to admit, I'm now a regular listener to Pablo, but the episode that put me on to Pablo was the Jordan Hudson episode, so she's not wrong. I don't know that I'd be listening now. I listened this morning, by the way. New episodes, kind of.
Matt Jones
Yeah. There's a new episode that will later because it's about us or it's about at least this place. But.
Drew Franklin
But to her point, I would not know about that podcast without that Jordan Hudson episode.
Matt Jones
So I do like going. You're welcome.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Matt Jones
If you're Jordan Hudson.
Ryan Lemond
I think it's a boss move. Good for.
Matt Jones
By the way, we found out it wasn't an adult cheerleading competition. Bella. Check. Went to Shannon. It was adult cheerleading practice. Oh.
Shannon Dawson
Does that make any difference?
Matt Jones
I think it's worse.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah. It's not even.
Matt Jones
I mean, I think, like, if he went. If, if. Well, no, no, not that they had it, but that he went. He went to practice.
Drew Franklin
You have to go to the competition to be supportive. You don't need to go to the practice.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, there's a definite difference. You want to be the supportive boyfriend.
Shannon Dawson
Go to watch practices. The parents. The parents that take their kids.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Shannon Dawson
They sit there at the practice. That's the only person that goes to practice are parents or the grandparent in this.
Matt Jones
Yeah, there's some truth to that, Shannon, to be honest with you, you're not wrong. Who's up next?
Shannon Dawson
Let's go to Jerry.
Matt Jones
Jerry. Go ahead, Jerry.
Caller Jerry
Hey. Hey, Matt. Today I wanted to pay tribute to the greatest UK fan I ever knew. And that was my dad. And he passed away last Sunday. And he's the one that gave me my love for UK sports. Started taking me to all those UK football and basketball games in the 70s. And sitting there watching by the fireplace, watching. Watching the games with the TV turned down and awood up on the radio. And, you know, and he loved all UK sports, but it was passion was for UK football. And one of the last things I got to do with him last Saturday was listen to the Cats win. So I just want to pay tribute to my dad and Jerry.
Matt Jones
That's.
Caller Jerry
And he'll be rooting for him on Saturday.
Matt Jones
I'm glad you got to do that. How, Jerry, how old was he?
Caller Jerry
He was 84.
Matt Jones
84 years old. Well, listen, man, you know, you know, we. We love you and I'll be praying for you and your family. And God bless you, man.
Caller Jerry
Okay. Thanks, Matt.
Matt Jones
No, no problem. You know, one of the things that's great about this fam. Well, no, I mean this is the thing the connects. The reason I love Kentucky sports is it connects people and it connects generations. Right? Everybody listening to this show likely has a version of that story. Every single person. All of you have somebody who introduced you to this. Unless you're a brand new fan, it's probably your parents or grandparents or uncle or whatever. And I appreciate that.
Ryan Lemond
I love it when it's somebody talking about their parents or somebody talking about how they connect with their kids through this show or through uk. You're right. It kind of bonds us all together. We're bonding that bridge.

Ryan Lemond
Now they weren't on the street is they have the best pizza in town. It's a hot honey pepperoni pizza and apparently it's awesome.

Matt Jones
We'll take a break and be right back.
Drew Franklin
KSR as a quarterback I love sports but sometimes when I get hit on my blind side, front side and put on my backside, I wonder is sport.
Matt Jones
Clips better than sports because sport clips haircuts is sports on TV plus a.
Drew Franklin
Relaxing haircut, hot steam towel and massaging shampoo. Which is better than sports plus sport clips. It's a game changer.

Jenna World, Jenna Jameson, Vivid Video and the Valley is a new podcast about the history of the adult film industry. I'm Molly Lambert, host of Heidi the Heidi Fly Story, and I'll be your tour guide on a wild ride through adult films. But we get paid more than the men. We call the shots. In what way is that degrading? That's us taking hold of our Life. In the 1990s, actress Jenna Jameson crossed over into mainstream culture, redefined stardom, then left it all behind. I'm a powerful woman. I think that's intimidating to a man. With a cast of hundreds of actors and comedians playing key figures, we'll take a look at how adult films became legal in the 70s, hugely profitable in the 80s and 90s, and fell off a financial cliff in the 2000s.

Matt Jones
Welcome back. It is Kentucky Sports Radio, 859-280-2287. Text machine is 772-774-5254. Football for a second still feeling good about the Vandy game, Drew?
Drew Franklin
I've never felt good about the Vandy game and our injury report doesn't make me feel any better. We had a lot of dudes out and a lot of them are on defense and in the secondary. But one thing giving me hope is that Diego Pavia seems to always be in Vegas or Miami. I don't know how he's never in Nashville anymore, but maybe we'll have the distraction factor here.
Ryan Lemond
Vandy needs the win right to stay in the playoff or the 14th in the rankings Tuesday. So they, you know, they still trying to hang on to sneak into the playoffs. So it is a big game for them. It's their senior day. But last time we went down there two years ago, we did win. We snuck a win two years ago.
Drew Franklin
The road team has won four straight in this series, so we have that going for us too.
Matt Jones
I'm, I don't know, I feel weirdly confident about it. We're not going to have our usual pocket of like the same or close amount of fans, but I kind of feel like we got a shot. I think, I mean, Pavia, we have struggled with Pavia, obviously we've struggled with guys like him for a little while, but I'm still feeling like you why not? I mean they're not, I don't think they are as good as people believe and I think they've while they've won a couple, they've won, you know, more games of any normally wins. They also have had a couple games that easily could have gone the other way.
Drew Franklin
It's the injury report that's really hurting me. The defense is pretty depleted. Alex Afari, he's questionable. If he ends up playing, that's a huge difference maker. But just at cornerback, they're down like three or four guys heading into that game. So if Kentucky were a little healthier, I'd Feel better. But I mean, they just got rocked with the availability report last night.
Matt Jones
Yeah, it's. Who all's out? You got what? Love it.
Ryan Lemond
Jordan Lovett, Sam Green, he's been great. Jaden Smith, Khalil Saunders, Is he gonna play?
Drew Franklin
He's on questionable. He's another one they need. Nichols is questionable. Coach Waller's been out. Addison's out. It's like cornerback, cornerback, cornerback, cornerback.
Ryan Lemond
On the injury report, we had dudes out there against Tennessee Tech that I had never heard of before putting the secondary at corner and safety the other day.
Drew Franklin
Jansen Dunn has been a backup who stepped in. Now he's out. That was a little unexpected.
Matt Jones
Yeah, well, so the injury report is.
Drew Franklin
Not working in our favor otherwise. I'm with you. I like that. The momentum they've had lately. Maybe Afare and some of these starters that are still on the fence, we'll give it a go.
Matt Jones
It would be nice if we were able to knock them out of the. Out of the. Completely out of the playoff. It would be nice if that was kind of the final resting place for Vandy's playoff dirt.
Drew Franklin
He needs to be humbled, too. Yeah, I like him, but we need to bring him down a notch.
Ryan Lemond
Especially they came in Kroger last year and just whooped us. I mean, that was an awful cold game last year.
Matt Jones
Vandy fan, are you feeling confident about it, Shannon?
Shannon Dawson
I mean, I feel like this is a game that they could slip up and lose, but knowing that the playoffs are, you know, they're. They're an outside team.
Josh Zieman
Right.
Matt Jones
They're probably not going, but they were a lot higher in the rankings than I would have thought. I mean, they were 14th. They beat Kentucky and Tennessee. I mean, they're at least sitting there with a possibility.
Shannon Dawson
Put it to you like this. I'm much more worried about Tennessee next week for Vanderbilt than Kentucky, but this is a game where Kentucky could come in and surprise some people. But I don't think it's going to happen.
Matt Jones
To say he's more worried, not even worried about, I hope we win. And then I'm going to have everybody text Shannon the dude and just say eat it. That's what I. That's what I hope.
Shannon Dawson
Would you be more worried about Vanderbilt or Tennessee?
Matt Jones
I'm much more worried about you and you're losing this game and. And the mouth you have.
Drew Franklin
John sounds like he's overlooking Kentucky. Is this a trap game? Are you looking ahead?
Matt Jones
John Sumrall was going to apparently interview with Florida and then it leaked out and he canceled the interview and said he wasn't going to talk to Florida. Florida people are kind of livid at each other for talking about it and maybe ruining it. Summer also had an interesting comment. He's projected to go the playoffs with Tulane and he said we're not even good. He was like, if we're one of the 25 best teams, there must be some bad teams out there.
Ryan Lemond
If the playoffs started today. They're in. They're in it right now, but he.
Matt Jones
Doesn'T think they're any good.
Drew Franklin
That's why I like him.
Ryan Lemond
Good coach.
Drew Franklin
Get your team fired up. Call your team average when they've had a great year and they're in the playoff makes it, too. Lane, it's what we need.
Matt Jones
Is it?
Ryan Lemond
Yes.
Matt Jones
Okay.
Ryan Lemond
I think he made the right move by canceling that, talking to Florida since it came out. He's still got to be focused on. I think what he's.
Matt Jones
I don't know what. What are these coaches going to do that may be in the playoff and that are considering going somewhere else? Like, what are they going to do? Like, what's. Some are all going to do if they make the playoff?
Ryan Lemond
That when you let your agent do all the talking for you and he's.
Matt Jones
Going to have to, like. I mean, he's got to get a team, too. He's got to coach a team. And then if he wants to be a competitive Florida next year, he's got to go get some players.
Ryan Lemond
So tough.
Matt Jones
I mean, that's a tough situation for them because he'll be. It'll be mid December before he could even start that.
Drew Franklin
Well, some schools have outside collectives that could help. They could be working on that for him.
Matt Jones
I guess that seems really, really hard. Who's next?
Shannon Dawson
K Dog.
Matt Jones
K Dog, how are you? K Dog.
Caller Jerry
Good guys.
Gavin Colton
First time, long time.
Matt Jones
Who are.
Caller Jerry
I've got a lineup that I would really love to see of Aberdeen, Chandler away, Yellow bitch and Moreno on the floor at the same time, and then Cam Williams coming off the bench. I think that would really open the lanes up for away and Chandler to get to the basket. And you have a shooter at just about every spot or somebody that can at least can hit a three.
Matt Jones
That would be the best shooting lineup they could put on the floor, probably. And if you switched Cam Williams and Moreno or Cam Williams and Yellow Bits, that would be the best shooting lineup. Let me. Let me ask you about Noah. Feels like we haven't talked about him at all. I'll remind people that in the Purdue game, Noah started.
Ryan Lemond
Started the first two games starting at Georgetown too, they got hurt.
Matt Jones
What do you make of just. I mean, I know he was hurt, but like, I mean, you don't even realize he's on the court. And that lob pass was not good.
Ryan Lemond
No, it was not good.
Matt Jones
That looked like a player that was scared.
Ryan Lemond
And I, all summer long we talked, we heard how he could not miss. He was the best shooter on the team and just lights out in practice. I think he's just kind of slow getting back from his injury a little bit. But I, I'm not to the point where I'm worried about Trent Noah yet. Are you.
Drew Franklin
With the ankle injury? I'll give him a little more time, but I, if, if this is what he's going to be, I'm worried because they need a shooter and they need a good four, which he'd be perfect for. But he hasn't looked good, especially in the Michigan State game. He did have the stretch where he came in against what was last try to Eastern Illinois. He was two big threes pretty right away. If he is hitting threes like that, that's the guy.
Matt Jones
And he was a healthy though scratch against Louisville, like could play, wanted to play and didn't get it.
Drew Franklin
And we complimented how he trimmed down, but Pope wanted to put on that 18 pounds of muscle. Almost might have gone the wrong way. It looks like he's almost too thin in there because he got pushed around a little bit against Michigan State.
Matt Jones
Yeah, I worry about him in these athletic games. I mean that like SEC is all athletes. So I mean he's going to have to, you know, he's going to have to be athletic enough to play in these games. We'll see if he is.
Ryan Lemond
So you worried?
Matt Jones
I don't know. I feel like we could use his shooting if he makes them. I mean, like we need it. So we'll see. We'll take a break. Be right back.
Molly Lambert
Ksr, TJ Smith, personal injury attorney. Call tj he'll make him pay.
Shannon Dawson
Now more of Kentucky Sports Radio, presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.
Matt Jones
I think this is my favorite song of my cousins.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Yeah. I could. I find myself singing this sometimes.
Ryan Lemond
And this is what Colin Porter's saying on the floor.
Matt Jones
Yeah. So I find myself sometimes going every time I'm eating tacos in the. I get the words wrong, but I do by Silverado. I just thought and I. And he says Tennessee like I do.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah, you guys do say it exactly like Tennessee.
Matt Jones
You thought I was the only one. You thought I was the Only one that sounded like that.
Drew Franklin
We drank Bottom shelf.
Matt Jones
Drew's now going to get the only one on the podcast.
Caller Jerry
Girl, you never.
Matt Jones
We got a guest on Gavin Colton. He is our.
Gavin Colton
Yeah.
Matt Jones
How are you, Gavin? We'll stop the singing and let you join us. How's it going?
Gavin Colton
I doing all right, fellas. Good to be back on.
Matt Jones
You know, when you were on, who knew you were so popular? People kept asking for you to come back. Did you get good response to your first KSR appearance?
Gavin Colton
Yeah, I did. I was, you know, I was getting text from people whose numbers I didn't even know how. I didn't even have their number. So that's always a good. That's always a good indicator.
Matt Jones
Well, good. I'm glad I watched the. Because of you. I watched the men's soccer team play their. Their game against Central Florida, and they lost. And then you texted me after and said that they had played very poorly. Why do you think that is?
Gavin Colton
You know, unlike. I think that 2022 team, that was fantastic for Kentucky, you know, they just lack that little bit of maturity. Somebody that is going to turn around and say, I'm. I'm going to take the sort of bull by the horns here. They're missing a local boy, Max Miller, through some injuries at the moment. Remains to be seen whether he's going to be back for this game. And he's the person really, that has consistently done that for them in tricky moments. And without Max on the field, it's it. You know, I'm looking around every week seeing who's going to step up and do that. And they've. They've got some players I think can do that technically, but sometimes you just need somebody to do it a bit more emotionally for you out in the field. You know, he's local.
Matt Jones
Where did he get. Where's he from?
Ryan Lemond
I don't know.
Matt Jones
Do you know where he's from, Max?
Gavin Colton
He's Lexington. I don't know what high school he went to, but he's a local kid and he's fantastic. And I probably had the opportunity to go pro after his freshman year, decided to stick around, wanted to go and win national championship. You know, I think this would be his last chance to go and do it.
Matt Jones
All right.
Drew Franklin
Station Brian State.
Matt Jones
He's a Brian Station kid. Wow. All right, so. So they're in the first round, the NCAA tournament. Explain to people because. Because we don't. Is it a. Is it 64 teams? What's the men's soccer tournament like There.
Gavin Colton
There's a Slightly fewer than that, I believe. You know, look, it's 32. I'm not all that certain. Yeah, so you've got some that have our. You've got some that are already throwing that by, which is typical. You know, it looks like Vermont. Vermont, who are just, like, being unbelievable this year, they're going to be the favorites to win this. But, you know, just dealing with this one that's here, this is a match that hasn't happened, you know, with St. Louis since 2000. Since the year 2000. And that was in the first round of an NCAA tournament as well. And Kentucky, after nil. Nil tie, went on to win the penalties.
Matt Jones
So Kentucky and St. Louis, the game is. Is it tonight? Is that when it is?
Gavin Colton
Yeah, it's gonna be tonight. 8 o' clock eastern.
Matt Jones
8 o' clock eastern. And where do I watch that? Is that on. Looks like it's on the espn. On the ESPN plus. Okay, so I have a question for you. You mentioned the penalties. You know, I have soccer questions sometimes.
Ryan Lemond
Yes, you do.
Matt Jones
Explain to me, Gavin. I think that the worst system in sports is the penalty kicks in soccer to end games. And I. And people always say, well, what would be better? What about my idea, which is you do like they do in hockey and every few minutes you take a guy off and it becomes 11 on 11 come. Becomes 10 on 10, becomes 9 on 9. Wouldn't that be a better approximation of the sport rather than penalty kicks?
Gavin Colton
It would probably keep it a bit more dynamic and a bit more suited to what happens. But, you know, I think after you can only go on so long, you know, just. I think that's some of the problem. There's some. At least penalty kickstarter, you know, while they're cruel, they are. They are final. You know, Kentucky went into seven or eight there, you know, in the. Toward the end of the season, and it's. Yeah, it's not a fun way to go. You know, the UK women lost to.
Matt Jones
Yep. We watched. We were watching it on our trip. They lost on the penalty kicks. It was brutal.
Gavin Colton
Yeah. And it was. It was abysmal and a horrible way to finish and it. But it's a great way to win. You know, if you've been on the winning side of healthy kicks, it is. It is quite a way to win. Yeah, I think there's, you know, I see that they're trying to change the game in lots of ways. I think, like in every sport, you know, soccer is one that they're constantly tinkering with it, introducing new Technology, new ideas. So I won't be surprised if, you know, next few years, we see. We see something change there.
Matt Jones
So I had a couple of people writing questions for you, Gavin. One person writes. I want you to ask Gavin. Ireland qualified for the World cup playoffs. They're not in the World Cup. They have to win two more games to get to go to the World Cup. Is he excited?
Gavin Colton
I'm beyond excited. I'm already looking at. Looking at flights home for March 26. The game is going to be in Czechia, which I'm getting confused in my geography. You know, we could either play against, you know, Czech Republic or. Or Slovakia. And I'm like, well, I grew up calling this Czechoslovakia, so I'm obviously not up on my geography, but, yeah, I'm over the moon for that. We have a bit like Scotland. It's been quite a few years since we've been near a World Cup. I remember it was 2002, was our last World cup appearance. You know.
Matt Jones
You're gonna go back for it. You're gonna go back for the game?
Gavin Colton
Oh, yeah, yeah, Absolutely.
Matt Jones
That's. That's very cool.
Gavin Colton
I'm just gonna go back to. It's gonna be in. It's gonna be in the Czech Republic, but I'm just gonna go home to be in a pub, enjoying it with the home crowd.
Matt Jones
Do you need company?
Drew Franklin
We'll go.
Matt Jones
You're gonna go all the way back to Ireland just to watch the game in a pub? That's kind of awesome.
Gavin Colton
Yeah. Yeah. I don't feel like I've got any choice but to do that. I've already got. I've already got friends looking at. Looking at American trips, and I wrote to. I'm on to congressmen and senators. I got some friends who are, you know, dealing with some visa issues over the years and getting into America. I'm already writing some of those folks to. To see what we can do in case we go ahead and qualify.
Matt Jones
Wow. He's already tried to pull strings to get people into America to watch it. I love it. All right. One person writes. From an. From one Irishman to another. I've lived in Lexington and can't really find the perfect food for me. What would Gavin say are the best places for an Irishman in Lexington?
Gavin Colton
Well, I'll tell you, get yourself down to Falcha to Lisa Betts store right. Right there next to McCarthy's. And it's the. You know, I've got more or less everything I need in there. She's got, you know, pre. Packaged Pre packaged breakfast foods, all the kind of condiments and tasty things I want. Coming up to Christmas, they get it. You know, get on Instagram and look up vulture. That's F I, F A I, L T E. It's the Irish word for welcome. And just look at the Christmas haul that they have coming in there. She's got everything that I need to come home and, you know, cook whatever I want. I'm.
Matt Jones
That was the place where we got the weed a bit.
Drew Franklin
Yeah. Been down there forever.
Matt Jones
Williams. That was where the Weetabix was.
Gavin Colton
Exactly it.
Drew Franklin
Yep.
Gavin Colton
So that's. That's where I like to go to get most of my stuff. But as far as food, I, I don't look. I don't look too far past Carson's and you know, and I, I hate to disagree, but I do think that Pearls is the best pizza in town.
Drew Franklin
Oh, pearls is good.
Matt Jones
Pearls is good.
Drew Franklin
I'm a regular for bagels.
Matt Jones
Yeah. But they're not bringing us tomorrow Carson, so we say it's. It's parlor for this show right now. Gavin, thank you very much. If we win, we'll talk to you a little later on.
Gavin Colton
All right, Sounds good, fellas. Take care.
Matt Jones
There you go. Kevin Colton helping the cats. They play St. Louis. A little battle for Travis Ford soul with Indiana waiting.
Drew Franklin
Could have a rivalry.
Matt Jones
Oh, is that what I was trying to show you?
Drew Franklin
Indiana's the. Already waiting in the next round not to look ahead. Gotta get past St. Louis. But we could have a big rivalry next.
Matt Jones
Yeah, that's exactly right. 859280, 2287. Shannon, I heard some bad news. Baxter Avenue Theater.
Shannon Dawson
Yeah.
Matt Jones
Is scuttlebutt on the street might be closing at the end of December. Does that make you sad?
Shannon Dawson
Well, I mean, to be honest with you, I never go, but I hate to see old theaters, you know, old buildings that have been around for so long just close like that.
Matt Jones
So I know a lot of that is my theater. I've probably seen 100. 100 to 150 movies in there. And it's the only theater in Kentucky besides the Kentucky theater downtown that gets kind of artsy movies. Like, it's the only theater that doesn't just play, you know, smile phase three or whatever. Like, so, I mean, losing that place would be very hard on me. I can literally walk to now.
Shannon Dawson
You're gonna be Sad Face 3.
Matt Jones
I am gonna be Sad Face 3. But you know that Mid City mall, they're gonna try to do something with it. They've never been able to. Since I've lived there, they've never really been able to make something there. It's a great location. Got a huge parking lot. I guess now they're gonna do something with it. Probably put in stupid apartment.
Ryan Lemond
There is something cool when you go into one of those old theaters, you sit down and take you back to your childhood or just something.
Matt Jones
Well, they've remodeled it. It's actually really nice now. So it's kind of unfortunate that we're gonna, we're gonna lose it. So that's the way it goes. 859280, 2287. Who's next?
Shannon Dawson
Let's go to Ed.
Matt Jones
Ed, Go ahead, Ed.
Caller Jerry
Yeah, Matt, I was just wondering if that pressure morning is going to be carried by anybody and I.
Matt Jones
I couldn't understand what you said. What'd you say, Ed?
Caller Jerry
I was just wondering if that press.
Gavin Colton

Ryan Lemond
A lot of people want to hear what he has to say today, see if he's going to have some answers to what's going on with his team.
Matt Jones
Yeah, well, I think I, I'm one of those people. I want, I want to hear what he has to say, too. We're going to take a break. 859280, 2287. We'll be right back. KSR.

For almost a decade, the murder of an 18 year old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky went unsolved until a local homemaker, a journalist and a handful of girls came forward with a story.
Caller Jerry
I'm telling you, we know Quincy killed her.
Podcast Narrator (Graves County)
We know a story that law enforcement used to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator on national tv.

In early 1988, federal agents raced to track down the gang they suspect of importing millions of dollars worth of heroin into New York from Asia.
Gavin Colton
We had 30 agents regular go with shotguns and rifles and you name it.
Podcast Narrator (Graves County)
But what they find is not what they expected.
Matt Jones
Basically, your stay at home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin. They go, is this your daughter? I said, yes. They go, oh, you may not see her for like 25 years.

Caught between a federal investigation and the violent gang who recruited them, the women must decide who they're willing to protect and who they dare to betray.

Matt Jones
Welcome back. It Is Kentucky Sports Radio 859-280-2287. You want to hear delusion? Can I give you delusion at its greatest form?
Ryan Lemond
Let's hear it.
Matt Jones
Stephen A. Smith today on so Drake May was asked what he thought about something Cam Newton said on First Take. And I guess Drake Mays. And you know, if you listen to Cover zero, I'm not the biggest Drake May guy in the world, but Drake May was like, oh, I didn't know he was on that show. I didn't know. I didn't know anything about it. Stephen A. Smith goes Drake May is a liar. First Take is the number one morning show. Don't tell me you an athlete and you don't know that. Don't tell me you an athlete and you don't know Cam Newton on is on this show. You're lying. Little, little delusions of grandeur there.
Ryan Lemond
Little inflated sense of self importance right there.
Matt Jones
I mean, come on. I would hope Drake May at 10:00 clock in the morning has more to do than watch first take. Right?
Gavin Colton
Yeah.
Drew Franklin
I assume he knows first take exists, but if he doesn't know who's on it or that that's.
Matt Jones
I mean I have to be honest with you. Would you have known Cam Newton?
Drew Franklin
I was about to say I told you yesterday when Stephen A. Was on tv. I haven't watched any of those shows in like three or four years. Those ESPN talk shows.
Ryan Lemond
I do not either. The only reason I know is because it's on in here and then, you know, we can't hear what they're saying. When you see the video of him, that's the only way I've ever been.
Matt Jones
Quite frank with you. If it wasn't on in here during our show, I would never know. I don't think I would know that Cam Newton.
Ryan Lemond
I would not know.
Matt Jones
I'm almost certain I wouldn't know if it wasn't. But it's on while we're in here sometimes.
Drew Franklin
Well, you know, always working for home with the website that used to just be turn on espn. That's my background noise. I haven't bothered doing that in years.
Matt Jones
Yeah. By the way, I'm taping. I still say taping. Oh, people make the kids make fun of me for saying taping. Mario one time even asked me why do you say taping? What does that mean? But it is taping. I know they use the phrase recording.
Ryan Lemond
Yeah.
Drew Franklin
We're not using tape. Used to.
Matt Jones
Okay, so I'm recording my interrupted podcast at 1 o'. Clock. Viewer listener questions and there's been a lot of good ones.
Ryan Lemond
You'll say you already got a bunch in.
Matt Jones
Oh, there were a ton of them that came in both from this show.
Ryan Lemond
Non sports questions. Right? That's what looking for.
Matt Jones
Yes. And there was a lot of good ones. So I, I'm going to answer those today with Billy. Clayton and Cream was founded on a simple idea. All leather goods should last a lifetime. They make everything from bags, belts, wallets and much more. Best parts of doing it right here in Kentucky. Check them out at clayton and croom.com. that's crumm.com leather goods, bags, wallets. Drew and I have a ton of the stuff. Visit their flagship store on Shelby street in New Lou. It's Clayton and Croom. Who's up next?
Shannon Dawson
Shannon, let's go to JoJo.
Matt Jones
JoJo, by the way, before JoJo goes, one person writes, Matt, I want to know right now. Well, since he's saying right now, we got to do it, is Mark Stoops the coach at Kentucky next year, yes or no from all of you? Drew? Yes. Ryan?
Ryan Lemond
Yes.
Matt Jones
Shannon?
Shannon Dawson
Yes.
Matt Jones
Matt? Yes. And three weeks ago my answer would have been different.
Drew Franklin
Same here.
Matt Jones
All right, jojo, go ahead, JoJo.
Caller Jerry
Hi, Matt. I got a fun lineup.
Gavin Colton
If we get way ahead sometimes for this Kentucky basketball team, I like to.
Caller Jerry
See them put all the Kentucky boys in for a minute or two.
Gavin Colton
We got five Kentucky boys that's on.
Matt Jones
The team you talking about, including the walk ons. I guess that's true. What Noah, Moreno, Johnson and who? And Reese Potter. Yeah, yeah.
Drew Franklin
Reese's red shirting, so that'd be hard to do.
Matt Jones
Oh, okay. Well, and then Walker Horn, I guess he's a Kentucky guy, right?
Ryan Lemond
Yes.
Matt Jones
Has it ever been done? You know, I bet it has. Do you think it's ever been done five Kentucky guys in at the same time?
Ryan Lemond
Maybe a long time ago.
Matt Jones
Maybe, maybe not. I mean it's certainly not in recent times, but I bet it's been done at some point.
Drew Franklin
I think you'd have to go pretty far back.
Matt Jones
Yeah, I mean how many times even.
Drew Franklin
Just getting a couple guys from Indiana or Illinois back in the day, they'd.
Matt Jones
Have appreciate the call. How many times could it have been done? Well, the one year it's Stockton, Carrier Blevins.
Ryan Lemond
You could have Robbie Moss, Patrick Sparks. There were a couple times where like they would have three or four of them on the floor at the same time. But I have. You need a big guy.
Matt Jones
We beat Louisville with Sparks. We had maybe four of them in at once. Yeah, I think it was like Sparks, Carrier, Stockton and Ravi and they all.
Ryan Lemond
Did contributed greatly to that game.
Matt Jones
But I don't know that we've ever had five. Probably haven't actually. Don't you think? I mean, we probably have in history, but I don't think there's been one reason.
Ryan Lemond
Well, let's look at the Fabulous Five. Ralph Beard, W.A. jones, Kenny Rollins. There's three Kentucky guys. Who else is on there? On there?
Matt Jones
That's.
Drew Franklin
That's going to be a U assignment on that one.
Matt Jones
Yeah, that you're going to have to.
Drew Franklin
I will say we've already gotten some fun moments with Jasper, Noah and Moreno this year and that can continue to happen. But I don't know about getting a full five. I don't see Zach joining that group, sir.
Matt Jones
I mean, especially if it's never happened. I think that would be kind of cool in one of these games. We're winning by a lot. DraftKings. Make your pick. You go to DraftKings.com promo code KSR. DraftKings. Download the app, do your thing. Let's look at it. Bills and Texans. Bills are a six point favorite. I'm picking the Texans to win.
Ryan Lemond
Oh, are you?
Matt Jones
I'm picking Texans money line at +240 and win big money. So that's what I'm taking. What about you?
Ryan Lemond
Is Stroud out too? Is he not going to play tonight?
Matt Jones
Yeah, but Davis Mills, if you listen to cover zero. Oh, he's an absolute legend.
Drew Franklin
Two and O this year.
Matt Jones
Got a neck that goes for Miles. Take Davis Mills and the Texans.
Ryan Lemond
I'm not on the Davis Mills fan club, so I'm going to pick against them.
Matt Jones
You're taking the Bills to cover.
Ryan Lemond
Bills to cover.
Matt Jones
All right.
Drew Franklin
I've been a member of Bill's mafia for five days now. I can't possibly pick against them in my first game since joining the club. Scope. Let's go Buffalo. Is that what I'm still learning this?
Matt Jones
Let's go Buffalo. Shannon, what do you got?
Shannon Dawson
Yeah, let's go with the Bills.
Matt Jones
Well, then I'll be the only one with the Texans. When Davis Mills does his thing, you'll know about it. What's next, Matt? Matt. Go ahead, Matt.
Caller Jerry
Hey, guys. I'm out here doing a little grounding meditation and it behooves me to say a couple things real quick. First, I like to say there's the little. Things are never little. And every milestone is a celebration. We're going to be celebrating. The Cats are going. The football team's going to win out and the girls volleyball team's killing it, the girls basketball team's killing it. And the cats will get it together. And one more thing real quick, Matt. I'm barefooted out here meditating and I was still wondering, I know you're a busy man, if I was going to get any of those Matt shoes.
Matt Jones
Yes, you can. I need to figure out you how to get them to you because actually I have a few I'm getting rid of now. So I'm glad to get them to you, but you got to tell me how to do it. Okay? So send me an email and let me know where to send them. All right? No problem.
Caller Jerry
No problem.
